Highline: Pacific Northwest's High-Voltage Transmission System (1950)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 січ 2014
- "Highline," an overview of BPA's role as a transmission system operator, includes a tour of BPA's Ross Substation and aerial photography. It tells the story of building the transmission system in the voice of a self-titled "transmission man" who is taking his nephew Bill around for a look at what BPA is doing. There are appearances by Dr. Paul J. Raver, BPA's second administrator, and Sol Schultz, first chief engineer, as well as Abraham Osipovich. Osipovich made substantial contributions to BPA, including the innovation of vibration dampers on transmission towers, which help reduce wind noise. It was the first color film produced by BPA's Motion Picture Information Division and the final film written by information officer Stephen Kahn before he left the agency.

Wonderful video. My great grandpa helped log for these projects.
10:20 That's the North Bonneville to Troutdale line. Out of view to the right, the line crosses the Columbia River from Camas. BPA built a set of towers in the middle of the river.
10:50 That transmission line goes right by my house. It's the North Bonneville to Ross line. I believe it was built in 1939.
The first chief engineer, I believe, was Charles Carey, not Sol Schultz. Carey was J.D. Ross' chief engineer when Ross became the first Administrator in 1937. When Ross fell ill, following an operation, in February 1939, Carey served as acting administrator for several months. After Ross's death in 1939, Carey was fired by Interior Secretary Ickes "because he was Ross' man" (Ickes was not a fan of Ross). That last quote is from my grandfather Ulric Gendron, who served as Ross' assistant. My grandfather wrote a short history of this period which I have just read (and which led me to this website).
1:17. "...and it's hydroelectric power that makes these dams possible." Hey Phil, I think you read that line backwards. It's the dams that make hydroelectric power possible.
Beautiful documentary. Damn beautiful!
