tons and is now on car at the plant
ready to be unloaded. A large trusse is
being placed on the south side of the
plant to connect with the r. 4 o Rail
road. When completed it will be l,3OO
feet long and twenty-five feet high and
will be used in supplying coal Tor tie
power house and producer.
The open hearth building is 437 feet
long by 60 ieet wide and is lean to 90
feet and the same length as the open
hearth building. The Blooming Mill
building is APO feet long by As feet wide
and lean to, which is the boiler and
engine room, AZ feet wide and the same
length as the Blooming Mill building.
Together the two buildings are S57 feet
long. They were made by the Pencoyd
Iron Works and erected by w. w. Lin
say & Co. OF Philadelphia.
All the foundations Of the buildings
were laid on piles and over 5000 were
driven in the ground for that purpose.
A l2xl2 cap timber was put on the piles,
a 6 inch floor on top of the cap timber
and three feet OF concrete ON top OF the
floor, which makes the foundation ex-
ceedingly strong.
The process by which the material
will be made into steel after the plant
starts up will be as follows:
The scrap will come in on cars and
from there be taken TO the Platform of
the open h, atth furnaces. 1t is loaded on
an eectrlc charger and put in
the furnace where it Is melted and tapped
into 60 ton ladle.
From the ladle it is poured in cast
iron moulds and then pulled out and
carried to the soaking pit furnaces by a
10 ton hauling crane From there it is
taken to the blooming mill rollers and
rolled out to billets 1t is then cut in
different lengths, according TO the sizes
required.
Charles j. Wezrn, the chief engineer,
has charge Of the buildings and the erec-
tion of machinery. Mr. Wrzen, in
speaking TO representative Of The Sun
yesterday, said he was not sure when
the plant would be completed, but added
