Antique Light plants are engine/generator combinations made for home use.
Background
These
"Generators, or power plants filled a need from the 1890s to the 1940s
for electricity for the home and farm after electric lighting and
appliances
were readily available but Power was not available to rural
locations.
The dates are not firm some of these Light Plants are still in use in
the
Adirondack park in NY and in other locations.
I welcome your reports of
Light Plants still in use. Please send pictures as well.
The purpose of this site is to
display pictures of Light Plants, exchange information on
how
they work, and maybe discover some old ones that need a new home.
Why a page about Light
Plants,
Because I like them.
Note. The pictures are on
other pages to keep the size of this first page to a minimum.
