Lots of teasing shots of grid frequency display but no detail of what

Yes, the sequence showing the changing frequency and bringing supply on

Back in the 70s I had a boss who'd worked on a pumped storage scheme
installing control gear and he told me some of the aspects of this. He also
explained what would happen if a genny was put on line when only a small
