Insulators and transmission wires in the switchyard of the TVA's Chickamauga Dam, located near Chattanooga, 471 miles above the mouth of the Tennessee River. The [dam] has an authorized power installation of 81,000 kw. The reservoir at the dam adds 377,000 acre-feet of water to controlled storage on the Tenn. River system. The power that passes through this switchyard serves many useful domestic, agricultural and industrial uses: photo by Alfred T. Palmer, June 1942 (Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information Collection, Library of Congress)
And before hell mouth
the gate swung on its hinges,
heard in the dream
by chance a name,
a riddle of the past
states that
an intruder in a strange house
is discovered; falling plaster
reveals the place
missing object from the
......stranger,
asleep.
a strange house in
an electrical storm
vanishes and the site becomes
a wound, a terrible
.dream driving,
.......no nearer home than
a spooky
......house
a strange experience among a people weirdly
.......deluded
the secret of the delusion
......obtained in
..psychic shock.
a dream, or an unusual experience

Portrait of America. No. 36. Rural electrification in the U.S. Far out on the western plains of America a lineman adjusts the top wire of a rural electrification project which will bring power and light to remote U.S. farms and communities miles from the nearest power plant. U.S. farmers' cooperatives are organized to secure rural electrification at cost on a non-profit basis. There are over 6,000,000 farms in America and more than four out of every ten are now electrified.
