Lots of motors and split case pumps were made by Allis in the 1950-60 era and put into power plants.... we have several also... PLUS a 200 MW Steam turbine and Generator set !

--Quite a few electrical breakers and transformers also..

Like them all, but love the "B"s.

Id like to see the steam turbine i bet its a cute little thing. The majority of ac stuff i see is breakers and transformers.

Many of the motors of 480VAC, 4160VAC or better in my facility are Allis, a few say Allis Siemens.
