Description |
English: The British Grid System- the work of the Central Electricity Board in Wartime, c March 1945 A controller at work in the central electricity control room. On the left is a system diagram showing the electrical system for the whole of Great Britain, ranging from Scotland at the top, through 'NWE' (North West England), 'CE' (Central England) and 'SWE' (South West England), amongst others. According to the original caption, this control room is well below ground, so safe from any enemy attacks and it is from here that "power can be switched from less heavily loaded areas to vital war industries". |

Licensing[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
