An ad from "The American City" March 1950 issue writing about how the City of Peabody purchased three 3200 H.P. Nordberg diesel engines, for a total of 9600 Horse Power, for the power plant saving the City $150,000 annually. Prior to these engines being installed the Peabody used steam to generate power, which was out dated for the time. Based on the image in one of the pictures the engines were installed on December 27, 1949. These engines were installed in the new municipal power plant at a cost of $1,218,000. The Nordberg Manufacturing Company was located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The would later be acquired by Rex ChainBelt Inc. in 1970. |
