Each morning the director (or somebody!) fills the new generator with gasoline and checks the oil before starting the day's work in TT 121. Purchased in Cairo with donated funds, the generator provides 220 volts of electricity to power all worklights and camera strobes inside the tombs. Spring 1998. (Photo by Eldredge)
