When one has reached the pat-tern shop they have practically finishedwith that portion of the shops erectedat the organization of the this space and the new boilershops there is a warehouse and ashed; to the left of this is the black-smith shop, in which the heavy forgingand various other work is done. Prob-ably the most interesting place to visit. Where They Build Steel Suits. is the brass or copper foundry. Stillfarther along is the pattern shop andfurniture factory. The visitor wouldprobably be surprised when he is toldthat in the furniture factory practi-cally everything in the shape of woodwork or furniture to be used in fittingout the interior of a ship is construct-ed. Even such articles as the wheelsin use, the settees and other innumer-able articles. The company, no doubt,could purchase these things as cheaplyas they could make them, but it doesnot follow out their line of policy; the is the shop one will enter from thispoint—the new boiler works. This isa portion of the new works which iscontemplated and for which plans havebeen drawn some little time. Thebuilding is built after the most im-proved plan and is most substantiallyconstructed, having plenty of light androom enough for carrying on all workswithout obstruction, and so arrangedthat machinery will work to the utmostadvantage.
