Summer 2009, with Lucas at the Biltmore in N.C.
Lucas chastised me for coming to the largest home in America and choosing these guys for my subjects.
See http://www.learnnc.org/lp/editions/biltmore-techtour/1316 for interesting information concerning the technology of the place (as progressive as possible).
The transformer room was easily one of the most interesting man-made collections that I have ever experienced. Photographs for the switchboard are literally impossible to find and frankly, you must experience that piece of art for yourself. If you go to the Biltmore: take the basement tour just for the damned switchboard.
