A slow and steady record of movement, measured in thousand-pound hours. The Bailey meters once tracked the rhythm of White Bay Power Station’s feed water pumps, their inked needles gliding over spinning paper, translating power into a tangible record of time.
The outer meters remain untouched, their charts unmarked. The center dial holds the final trace of motion, but the ink has seeped through the paper, bleeding into a swollen cloud. The last recorded movements are no longer a sharp line but a ghostly imprint, dissolving into nothing.
A faded record of the power station’s final breath.
A compelling choice for collectors of industrial photography, this print captures the fleeting remnants of an era when precision and power were carefully measured.
Printed on museum-quality archival paper, preserving the textures and details with exceptional clarity.
