The Locomotive . nt isnot known. The factory portion of this plant was totally destroyed by fire inDecember 1925, followed about two weeks later by a second fire ina pump house used in connection with a deep well water then only a portion of the work has been carried on in the partof the plant that remained. The property loss from this explosion was covered by a Hartfordpolicy. Rivetless Structural Steel Buildings. Contracts have been let by the Westinghouse Electric and Manu-facturing Co. for the erection of two arc-welded structural steelbuildings on the companys property in Pittsburgh, according to thePittsburgh Gazette Times. The two proposed structures consist of aone-story engineering laboratory building, and a five-story mill typebuilding. Welding is expected to result in a considerable saving overriveting by the elimination of many plates and angles, and in somecases by the use of lighter structural numbers. The absence of thenoisy riveting hammer is also a very desirable Fig. 3- 1926. THE LOCOMOTIVE. 115 Explosion of a New Boiler That Had Never Been Fired.
