Ever wondered what that massive trunk is, departing from the top of the turbines? It’s actually not original to it! It was added to help vent and cool the turbines as engineers were discovering that having the steam turbine under the generator in the vertical layout was overheating the generator. In the later, horizontal turbine layout, they added this venting in from the start; in tunnels under the floor!
