Trafford High Voltage on Display
Please allow us to geek out here a bit. A few images from the Trafford Historical Society collection were recently used in an exhibit at a Dielectrics and Insulation Society conference - see the bottom left of the display “Powering Up.” The images will also be on display soon at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Board meetings in November. A close-up of two of our images below have been colorized here to enhance the coolness of these historic images. Yes, we can say cool when talking about Trafford history.
