Wolfenden wows the crowd yet again! Club member, Peter, VK3RV presented the talk he gave at the Macedon club to the prestigious Old Timers Club at the Caulfield RSL.
The talk was a detailed history with many fascinating stories of the progress of electrification starting in Melbourne and slowly branching out to other suburbs.
It seems that the engineers in Melbourne were up to date with advances around the world and, while starting with DC, had made early preparations for switching to AC to allow for transformers to boost the voltage after resistive losses in transmission.
