both alternate current (AC) and directcurrent (DC) through an innovation of a rotary converter, maximizing his generator facilityspace, and outputting 4000 kWh 25. However, peaking at 4000 kWh was an issue that led to a Page 23.1149.10partnership with General Electric to build the first turbo generator (i.e., powerful steam turbine),which was smaller and produced 5000 kWh per generator than his current generators 18, 25.Having these engineering improvements allowed Chicago Edison to obtain the transportationmarket as customers by generating electricity for the industry and fund electrical chargingstations for the vehicles 18.Insull
