Thanks for sharing this very interesting film. I would imagine that a lot of people at the time did not have electricity & would not have known anything about power or wattage. The noise at 8:18 sounds like something out of a sci fi film:)

I think you will find 1 HP = 746 Watts

It is ironic that one of the names in the credits is WATT, but Watt as a unit of electrical measurement is never given anywhere in the presentation.

Not even once did the announcer give valve or genset ratings in KW!
You could get by with that mistake with the gensets, but all electrical systems are measured in KW (volts, amps, watts)...
Aside from that massive goof, the short is otherwise free of flaws.
The missing audio could be fixed by replicating nearby existing audio.
Where did the film print come from?
Who preserved it?
