The use of steam power by the steam turbine in the United States.

The working of the steam turbines in the United States. A drawing depicts the first stage of the working of the steam turbine. The steam jets strike the blades of the turbine. The blades receive the steam and change their direction. The spindles are driven through the process. A man demonstrates the working of the steam turbine through the tea kettle. A tea kettle is placed to boil the water. The steam comes out of the kettle and revolves the paddle wheel kept nearby. The impulse stage of modern steam turbine being demonstrated. The blades being forced to move due to the pressure of the steam. The direction of steam is changed and it gives more power to the revolving spindles. A man works on the steam turbine. Steam coming out of a tea kettle. The steam moves through stationery blades first and then through the blades in motion. The steam enters from the boiler to the turbine. It then passes through the nozzle. The quantity of the steam at this stage should be constant. The turbine rotates because of the steam and it turns the shaft. The centrifugal force works at this time. The valve in the turbine opens. The small piston moves down. The large piston moves upwards. The force moves the valve. The speed of the turbine is decreased. The quantity of steam is increased and the speed thus increases.

The use of larger blades to allow the proper expansion of steam inside the turbine in the United States.

The working of the steam turbines in the United States. Steam turbines in a factory. The previous steam turbines faced the problems of speed control. The modern steam turbines are thus directed through larger sized blades. The longer and larger blades being used for the expansion of steam efficiently. The blades operate in high ad low pressure. Steam enters from the boiler to the turbine. It is regulated by the control valve inside the turbine. The steam strikes the blades inside the turbine and the blades move. The longer and larger blades allow the steam to expand efficiently. Man works on the steam turbine.

The control of the centrifugal force and oil flow through the turbine in the United States.

The working of the steam turbines in the United States. The reaction and impulse principles used in harnessing the steam power in turbines. The demonstration of the speed of steam in the turbine. A police officer firing his revolver. View of him while he fires his handgun at targets on a firing range. The speed of blades of turbine when they revolve is noticed with the help of gauges. The blades must be anchored properly so that the pressure can be controlled. The control of centrifugal force in the turbine. Men work on the steam turbine. Some maintenance problems arise when high speed turbines are constructed. Careful designing of the steam turbine being done for the control of the great speed of the steam. A high quality oil is needed for lubricating the parts of the turbine. A diagrammatic representation of the working of the auxiliary pump. The working of the oil filter, oil tank, main oil pump driven by the shaft are also represented. The check valve opens and the oil flows in the turbine. The speed of the pump being regulated. The metal surfaces of the turbine never touch each other. They are separated by the film of oil.

Officer explains the procedure and the methodology of working of an air raid warning service in the United States.

A film titled: 'Spread the alarm' on the air raid warning systems and civil defense procedures in the United States during World War 2. A map locates different places. Newspaper headlines about the air raids and bombardment. Officer seated at his desk in the office. He explains the working of the air raid warning service with the help of a diagram. He states that the warnings are reported over telephones. He points at the diagram and explains the procedure. He talks about the radar service to detect the activities of incoming enemy aircraft for the purpose of air raid. As an enemy aircraft is detected, the information is communicated through the telephone lines established for the purpose. The information is disseminated through various warning centers. He also explains the air raid precaution service with the help of another diagram. He says that the rescue team takes care of the damage and the casualties. The district warning centers provide the additional aids to the people.
