These are/were used to power things like lighthouses and radio relays in sparsely populated areas.
- folkrav 8y agoIf that's not a definition of "niche", I don't know what is.
- blattimwind 8y agoNiche yes, but also quite an advancement at the time. You can have many more lighthouses and relays if you don't need to supply diesel every few weeks and have an engineer repair engines.
