CMC TRUCKS USED
FOR HEAVY WORK
in CALIFORNIA

Dredged up from the shoal waters
of San Francisco Bay, the 43O acre site
of the Golden Gate International Ex-
position is nearing completion on seized
ule for the opening of the Exposition
in 1889. Unusual interest, both from
engineering and civilian viewpoints,
is attached to this undertaking for af-
ter the close of the fair the site will
be transformed into a fine municipal
airport.
In this gigantic construction feat,
as in the building of the Golden Gate
and San Francisco Bay bridges, GMC
trucks have labored ceaselessly to
complete their tasks on schedule. A
fleet of six Model T-46s in the ser
vice of the .Basalt Rock Company Of
Napa, Calf, has transported approx
mately one-half of the riprap material
forming the huge sea walls around the
entire exposition site.
Over 10000 tons of rock were In
volved in this particular phase of thu
undertaking. Material was hauled b!
the trucks from the quarry to barge
1 1-2 miles distant. The barges wer,
loaded in the daytime, towed by tug
down the bay at night to the Exposi
ton site and next day the materia
was transferred to its permanent posi-
ton by floating derricks utilizing
clam shell.
The sea wall formed by the ripra
varies from Is to 20 feet in height
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1937-10-01

Three grades of stone were used rang
ing from Grade C fine to Grade A,
consisting of boulders weighing from
500 to 5000 pounds. To haul this
coarse material the GMC trucks were
equipped with extra heavy 8 cubic
yard riprap bodies. The trucks have
been engaged constantly in this work
for nearly year.
The riprap sea wall is nearly COM
pleted and dredges are filling the en-
closed portion of the island with sand.
Before trees and shrubs can be plant
ed the sand must be washed with fresh
water to eliminate salt and other ma
terials deposited by the sea. To pro-
vide water for this purpose large re-
servoir is being constructed on the is
land and water will be piped to this
reservoir from a line extending over
the San Francisco Oakland Bay bridge
This splendid site will not only give
San Francisco a veritable magic is

but will also provide this city with one
of the worlds finest municipal air
ports, designed to shelter both land
and water planes. Careful planning of
