"Then I feel that there's a great many pipes on conduits of some sort...coolants.. refrigeration on top of things to keep things cold..." ",..That factory is coming closer now." "Well, I seem to see that there's lots of things like big cannons covered in grease." "Inside that there seems to be powder, black blackish powders." "Tunnels that-go between these places. I guess narrow gauge railways in so they move things around." "My estimate would be that the factory and the storage facil- ity are not necessarily associated."
