900 feet of the plant length, 5000
feet, has been completed Last
May it was. thought that a railroad
spur TO the plant could be utilized
to haul steel For plane assembly,
tracks were necessary on the south
side OF the plant. To facilitate
the hauling of the steel beams the
track would have had to be laid
through the center Of the plant and
so the plan was abandoned. Steel
is hauled by truck from Detroit.
over 5000 feet of the 5.735-foot
railroad with three side tracks has
been completed and other rails
cannot be laid pending changes in
the building construction.
To secure steel for Offices On

Offices are completed the Ford Of
