The wheels for Paul Bunyan's mighty watch might dwarf an ordinary man by comparison as much as these gears at the General Electric Company's Medium Team Turbine, Generator, and Gear Department here reduce the relative stature of the engineer shown. From front to rear: the two gears in the backgrounds are low speed pinions for a ship's propulsion gear set. The two in the middle are intermediate speed gears. And the others are low speed ship's propulsion gears.
