Construction Progresses
Construction at the Cleveland
Graphite Bronze Company oper-
ations is rapidly growing to q
conclusion. The major portion OF
the construction yet to be COM
p1eted concerns outside buildings
allied to the large, sprawling
main plant.
Construction workers are busy
putting the finishing touches tc
the industrial water treatment
unit, rotating and filter beds
According to John M. Mckinley
plant manager, the operations o1
these various units play an i'm,
portant part in the production
phase of the local Cleveland
Graphite Bronze Company plant
The control building for use
of propane gas is completed anc
the concrete piers to locate the
huge gas tank on are already fol-
the tank erection.
Gas Available
Mckinley noted, although the
natural gas has been secured fol
the plant and the lines complet
ed to the plant, the propane ga:
is held strictly as an emergency
unit in the event of any failure
on the part of the natural gas
The Ohio Fuel Gas Company
completed laying a four inch ga!
line from the main line serving
Caldwell. 1t connected on The
main gas line near the ole
athletic field.
Getting natural gas for thu
Cleveland Graphite Bronzr
plant has been one long drawn
out problem. This has beer
partially due to certain gas res
trictions, the control of which
has been in the hands of thu
Ohio Public Utilities Commits
sion.
With the completion of tn
gas line, all the needed utilitie
are now made available for us
in the plants operation. The nev
water line from the Caldwell
reservoir has been placed int
operation and the plant is bein
supplied water thru the nev
lines installed for this purpose
The Ohio Power Company ha
provided facilities to supply tn
plant with the needed 1900
voltage line.
New Presses
In order to meet the presen
demand for increased production
at the local plant, three new 400
=. ton presses have arrived. 1t
expected these new presses will
be grinding out bushing pro
duction within the week.
Plant Manager Mckinley stat
ed this week that there wer
341 persons now employed at tn
local plant. Because of the ap
parent shortage of steel, the bi
metal line will not be presse
into operation. However, Nc
Kinley noted the entire line i
= now intact and will go into pro
l dudtion Immediately after tn
