Construction Co. From then until 1946, Wean continued to turn out steel mill and wire-drawing machipery. ! [ ,£However, in the past six years the company has turned to "monster” machines whiph do dozens of operations jat one time with “extreme accuracy.” | b \-e • —- Two “Queen*” Two outstanding examples of the company's achievements along this lirie are the “Queen Mary” and the "Queen Elizabeth.” The “Queen Mary” was made for the Cadillac tank plant in Cleveland to hasten the manu-. factnre of Walker bulldog tanks. This particular machine grinds smooth 10 surfaces ot\ the tank’s hull in one slick operation which previously was done in 1© steps and

tcok 20 times as long. The “Queen Elizabeth,” another spectacular time and labor savor, bores 119 holes at once in a tank hull. The latest addition on Wean’s automatic family is a “trans-car machine line” built for MasseyHarris Ltd. (o be used ni that firm’s tank plant! in Racine, Wise. No Waste Motion The operator of the “trans-caj” rides on a narrow gaugb streetcar which carries the hull of the Army’s largest tank.* As\ the “trans-cat,” its ‘driver and the tank hull move down the track, bits and drills intcrmittenly attack the hull to mill 10 different surfaces and drill 110 holes in three • continuous operatises. | Besides the obvious labor saving,

New Laboratory Is Dedicated By G.E. 10 Million Dollar Lab Is Dedicated J PHILADELPHIA, i’a. — A new $10,000,000 laboratory built by the (general Electric conipany for development of switchgear equipment was dedicated here today, ip ceremonies attended by nearly 500 representatives of utilities and industry. J The new laboratory facilities are designed to develop and test circuit breakers and other equipment used in utility ahd industrial power systems, according to R. F. Tinnerholm, general manager of the company’s switcigear department. The laboratory, the third such facility built by General Electric, replaces those established at Schenectady, N. Y. ;in 1921. The dther facility is the high-voltage laboratory at Pittsfield. Mass., vrhere engineers conduct basic research into the effectjs of lightning and other high voltagie electric discharges on power transmission ijnes. In the major address at the ceremonies. H. V. executive vice president of the General Electric company, described the new laboratory as a ’’weapon to* fight rising costs.” He predicted that utilities together with the electrical manufacturing industry wduld meet the increasing power nleeds of ttye country and deliver the power with “greater reliability and at

lower cost.” -■ I The facility is part of the company’s billion-dollar expansion program begun in 1946 in which $528 millions ini plant and equipment already has been invested. Another $450 millions will be invested in next 4 or 5 years, Erben said. H. A. Winne, GE vice president, who also spoke at the ceremonies, pointed out that the large expenditures required to provide these high capacity facilities was justified sinee it enabled the company to design and build better swlcthgear equipment, transformers and lightning arresters to meet “increasing needs and demands of industry.” The qew laboratory includes a mhin testing building containing five test cells, a contrbl building linked to the main bulding by a tunnel > carrying more than 46'0 miles of wire, and a high-voltage test\ yard for testing huge outdoor circuit breakers, switches artd other equipment. Short circuits of 5,250,000 kva, the most powerful ever produced in a laboratory, can be created for power-equipment tests. This power is supplied by two generators, each larger than a small six-room house. T?he all-steel test building is divided • into two sections. One contains the incoming power souyee equipment, distribution apparatus, thei two testing generators, and othbr equipment. A machine and assembly shop for preparing apparatus for test is located in the other section. Five test cells are ranged along one side of the test building. The one-story, brick* r aiid steel control building houses the intricate controls and instruments used

Today, in one of the tests, GE engineers created one bf the severest electrical short circuits in history. The intentional “short,” powerful enough to blow ail the fuses in Greater Philadelphia’s 800,000 homes, was part of the demonstration marking the official opening of the laboratory.
