People like bob anderson. Bob came to northeast ohio right after world war ii. And he likes his job. One of a quarter of a million new jobs created by industrial anderson. Bob growth in this area since that time. How about a couple of eggs this morning. Okay. Deal, get a move on or youll be late. Its a great life, hey, bob. When you stop to think about it, we take a lot for granted. And why shouldnt we . I guess its american custom, a part of our heritage. But somebody has to look after the things we take most for granted. Somebody has got to know, for example, how much electricity well need every hour of the 24. In our homes. And to brighten the offices. Like the classrooms. And power the machines of industry. In the system Dispatchers Office of the illuminating company, northeast ohios electric needs must be forecast at least two hours ahead. Why . Because electricity is a product that cannot be stored. It must be made the instant its needed and used the instant it is made. The system dispatcher uses this graph to keep track of power needs from daytoday. Through the year, the load expectancy graph reflects every change in the weather and every holiday. It shows when people get up and when they go to bed and when they are enjoying a night ball game. By charting your daytoday, monthtomonth, and yeartoyear living habits dispatcher is able to keep electricity always at your fingertips. For the dispatcher, every day is different. As different as people. The electric business like no other truly reflects peoples lives and habits. What goes on in these four illuminating Company Power plants lakeshore avon, as tabula, and east lake is a reflection of your life, bob, and the lives of all of us who live in northeast ohio. Electricity works day and night around the clock doing all kinds of jobs. No one would choose to be without it. In northeast ohio the generation of electricity begins with coal, a million tons of it, over six million of it is stored at the companys plant. There is enough coal in this single car load to heat your home for eight years. Up it goes through the first crushing process and then up seven stories to the bins above the boilers at the top of the building. 20 tons of coal a minute ride this conveyer to the crushers. Finally, pulverized to the consistency of talcum powder, the coal is mixed with air and blown into the furnace through 16 burners giving a whirling movement to the flames. Over 4,000 tons a day keep intense fires burning in each of the four huge furnaces at the east lake plant. Almost instantly, the heat turns the purified water in the boiler tubes into steam. Which is directed goodness the blades of a turbine at tremendous pressure. So notice turbine room steam becomes mechanical energy. Turning the shaft of this giant turbine at 60 revolutions per second. 3600 per minute. Turbine and generator are whirling on the same shaft thus mechanical energy is converted into electric energy by the generator. Out it goes to the transformers where the voltage is stepped up from 18,000 volts to 132,000 volts for economical transmission. Instantaneously its on its way to the takeoff structure. Its then routed to a step down transmission substation where the voltage is reduced to 11,000 or 33,000 volts. Electricity is delivered to some industrial plants at this voltage. The rest of the power supply goes to the neighborhood distribution substations where its reduced to 4,600 volts. Pole transformers, the kind you may have noticed near your home automatically reduce the pressure to 120 or 240 volts it takes to operate home appliances. Like your toaster and your coffee maker, too. Yes, the electricity for your breakfast came a long way in literally no time at all. It was generated just 1one three thousandth of a second ago. But there is more than just transmission lines. Oh, golly, its beginning to rain. [thunder] it looks like a bad one. Surprised . Well, a lot of people are going to be caught by this one. But not the man in the system Dispatchers Office. Its their business to know about quick changes in the weather. In fact, they have been tracking this storm for hours. They have been tracking it in the trouble section, too. These are the illuminating companys trouble shooters prepared to meet any emergency. And when a storm strikes, men, machines and equipment are already on the move. The day shift linemen are already on the job an hour earlier than usual. At the east lake plants electrical control room another generator has been put on the line. It was ordered long before the storm was due to strike. It had to be. It takes at least two hours to get one of these giant machines revved up. As customer calls are received specially trained girls on the Service Board recovered them for immediate attention in the trouble section. Mrs. Cunningham speaking. May i have your address . May i have your telephone number, please . Well send a Radio Service car. Experienced trouble shooters bracket affected areas and dispatch crews by radio to take care of them. 37 double e. 37. Joe, take call 116, vjm 720 east 246. Tree interfering with lines. Thats bj adams 720 east 246. Interfering with lines. Right, joe. Double e. The mechanized work force goes into action. With cracked linemen like this on the job your electric service is in good hands. Of course there are other jobs to be done, but none so large and none so small as to escape attention. Starting with coal and ending with the miracle of electricity. Embracing the activities of the giant power plant. Measuring and recording the ebb and flow of power. All of these are linked by a cordoned of more than 4,000 illuminating employees. Civil, mechanical and electrical engineers, laboratory technicians, skilled operators. And highly trained Office Laboratory personnel, working in some 600 different jobs specialties. These are the resources, of skilled men and women attending classes on their own time seeking to skres their ability to serve with compensation in terms of opportunity, recognition and security. From the younger generation, just beginning to the one employee in every four who has been with the company more than 25 years, all are youunited in a spirit of service pride just as they feel a kinship with the community they serve the progress and prosperity of both go handinhand. So it is natural for the illuminating company to take an active part in working for civic improvement. Parks, schools, better roads. And better street lighting. In an effort to create new job Company Representatives have told the story of the area to industrialists all over the country exciting them to build new plants in the best location in the nation. American industry has responded by investing over 2. 5 billion in industrial expansion in this area since world war ii. Creating a quarter of a million new jobs. And what about the future . The future in which the illuminating company and all northeast ohio communities will share . Company engineers are always looking to tomorrow, planning to keep ahead of the electric needs of this prosperous and growing area. Shopping centers new homes, and new industry continue to spring up year after year, and planning engineers at the illuminating company have all stayed well ahead of Community Development with bigger, more efficient generating equipment. The company has expressed its faith in the future of the area it serves, by means of a 500 million postwar expansion program, which calls for new turbo generators. New transmission lines, and the new illuminating building on clevelands public square. For the people of northeast ohio the future holds a hundred,000 homes. Refrigerator doors that open and close by push button. Kitchen cabinets electrically raised and lowered by a wave of the hand. And new factories creating new jobs and a still higher standard of living. Well see more churches, more hospitals, and the kids, they will have plenty of classrooms in which to study and learn. Already Company Engineers are working on the development of atomic reactors, and when the time comes, the illuminating company will be ready to put the atom to work for its customers.

The Cuyahoga River is sometimes called the river that caught fire. After the story of an Oil Slick Fire made National News in 1969. Hosted by our cable partners. Learn more about cleveland all weekend here on American History tv. So were currently looking at a standard oil delivery wagon that would have been used to deliver products various oil products from the Standard Oil Company here in cleveland, ohio. On the site, we see various product packaging for other products that were either made by or eventually made by standard oil out of the refining process of petroleum here in the cleveland area. Standard oil, of course was formed by john d. Rockefeller in 1870 and quickly became one of the Largest Petroleum companies in the united states, and john d. Rockefeller was a brilliant businessman what had moved to the cleveland area with his family as a young boy. Grew up in the cleveland area in boarding school, and then eventually working in various companies, and in the Petroleum Industry until founding his own company, Standard Oil Company. And standard oil actually comes from John Rockefellers idea and desire to standardize kerosene. Kerosene is what most homes were using as a lighting oil in their lamps, and at the time, kerosene was somewhat dangerous. There was no standardization of it. Some of it would burn hotter and quicker than others, and it would lead to fires in homes, and so john d. Rockefeller was really interested in standardizing that and making asive product for americans. And thats really what he was able to achieve with standard oil, and even went so far as to build their own safety lamps to Burn Standard oil in. Standardized kerosene oil in the homes. This led to rockefeller quickly becoming one of the wealthiest men in america and also becoming one of the most hated men in america, as they called him. The way john d. Rockefeller ran his business, the way he took over other Petroleum Industries led to a very bad public image. His Business Practices were well known as not the best in american business. And it was at that point where his advisers told him he needed to appear even more charitable than he already was and he began kind of his own campaign where, when he was out on the streets, Walking Around meeting people, talking to people, he would give out dimes, and you know, there became a very large legend behind rockefeller dimes. That was really to be handed a dime at the time, now, the early 1900s when rockefeller was doing this, he was giving away actually a large amount of money, and you know, if you think about
