Justas transportation is one of the import-ant items to be considered in the loca-tion of a plant, so is it in the designof the plant. Trucks are being con-structed to further facilitate the hand-ling of work as it passes through thedepartments. From the various illustrations an ideaof the construction of the plant may beobtained. The frame work is oJ steeland the walls are of brick. The roof isthe only part that is wooden and isconstructed with 2x3 pine with tar andgravel covering. It is Known as slow-burning mill construction. ^ if.

In only oneplace is the material handled twice, thisbeing in the testing department wherelarge piles of radiators are to be seenawaiting the finishing touches. It isplanned, however, to construct severalhundred trucks on which the stocks (^funfinished goods will rest while await-ing their turn at the tapping machines,and in this way the unloading and load-ing of trucks will be avoided. The second impression was the thor-oughness of the test the nuliators aresubjected to before they are allowed togo to the shipping room. The first loss tain in practical use is nine or tenpounds per square inch it will be seenthat the test in manufacturing is severeand thorough. The first requisite of a foundry is itssituation, and the facilities of th
