COLLINS COMPANY’S POWERHOUSE

 
Collinsville, CT – This is the powerhouse that supplied electricity to the Collins Axe, Adz, and Machete Company. This powerhouse was built by Collins employees and contains a low-head Francis type turbine and a General Electric remote controlled generator. It supplied enough power to Collins Co. and the excess was sold back to what was HELCO and is now Connecticut Light and Power (CL&P). I it may be called Northeast Utilities now, who can keep track.
