Description: | In the early 1970s C.A. Parsons and Company Limited in Newcastle conducted tests on this machine during the development of very large steam turbines for a nuclear power plant in Ontario, Canada. The reactor produced low temperature 'wet' steam, and the engineers had to adapt turbine technology to this situation. The machine is called the 'Mary' model. It was a tradition at Parsons' works to name experimental after female members of the Parsons family. | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.science&industry.483110 | Go to resource |
