The works provideemployment for over 80 Europeans and about 150 works have their own native compound. The nature of the work undertaken by Christopher anaShillito, Ltd., consists of all classes of general engineeringand structural work. Roof trusses, mine headgears, andbridge construction are done. Foundry work of all descrip-tions in both cast iron and brass is also undertaken. Raw Materials. The works generate their own electric power and are thusin the fortunate position of enjoj-ing a constant and reliablesource of power. The raw materials used here consist ofimported hematite pig iron, and girders, beams, and angle. 80-ton Ammonia Compressor installed at Newtown in 1919 Designed, manufactured, and erected by Messrs.
