Johannes Juul's Control Board/Power Meter from the Gedser Wind Turbine's construction in 1957 - has fortunately been preserved.
Installed in the turbine's transformer housing, it is still in use. Primarily for measuring indoor lightning consumption.
Rust treatment, financed by the Danish LH Foundation, September 2022.

SEAS NVE Electrical Museum has, during a visit to their archive on 25 October 2022, allowed the association to use, in books and online, the museum's photos from the construction of the Gedser Wind Turbine 1957.

"In 1968, Lauritz Knudsen merged with its biggest competitor on the Danish market, the company NES in Valby, and changed its name to LK-NES. The NES add-on was later deleted, but still lingers in the minds of many Danes."
