General planning. Refrigerated barge designed and built by the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) in collaboration with the University of Tennessee to encourage the fruit and vegetable freezing industry in the Valley and the marketing of its products over the inland waterways system. The architects of the Authority cooperated in the design of the superstructure which was erected on a standard steel barge. Sheathing is of T and G boards, roof of galvanized sheet metal. Glass-enclosed cabin at one end houses refrigerating machinery, at other end crew's quarters. Colors are light shades of grey, with upper and lower bands of superstructure in maroon. Visible part of windows is the screen frame; glazed sash is behind and its frame is painted black to eliminate its competetion with the screen frame and its..

Power and conservation. Chickamauga Dam, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Insulators and bus wires in the switchyard of the TVA's Chickamauga Dam, located near Chattanooga, 471 miles above the mouth of the Tennessee River. The dam has an authorized power installation of 81,000 kilowatts, which can be increased to a possible ultimate of 108,000 kilowatts. The reservoir at the dam adds 377,000 acre feet of water to controlled storage on the Tennessee River system. The power that passes through this switchyard serves many useful domestic, agricultural and industrial uses

Guntersville Dam and powerhouse. Closeup view of powerhouse. Note texture of concrete on electrical bay which is typical of most TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) projects. Pattern is produced by alternating directions of grain in adjoining form panels. Rough-sawn lumber is used to make grain more pronounced. Heavy texture conceals color and surface irregularities of concrete and will become particularly valuable as concrete ages. Office floor is above flood level and has continuous glass brick strip

Tennessee Valley Authority. Construction of Douglas Dam. Making forms of the generating plant at TVA's new Douglas Dam on the French Broad River. This dam will be 161 feet high and 1,682 feet long, with a 31,600 acre reservoir area extending forty-three miles upstream. With a useful storage capacity of approximately 1,330,00 acre feet, this reservoir will make possible the addition of nearly 100,000 kilowatts of continuous power to the TVA system in dry years and almost 170,000 kilowatts in the average year
