Hi Dan,
I'd guess it's a drain for a gear case, but not really sure. Did you note the Pelton wheel in the lower right? It drives the 110V generator for the power around the plant and outbuildings. If I remember correctly, it was also the excitor source for the second large generator.
Here's a shot of the switching panel, and one of the nicer gauges also. I handheld (I only had 1 cup of coffee that morning!) all these at 1/15, with the camera set to ISO 1600. I should have had a tripod, and am not fond of flash on camera shots.
