A new and improved Refin-
ery lubrication system that
will eliminate waste, save lime,
and assure operators at vari-
ous units of a regular supply of
the right lubricant for the par-
ticular type of machinery to be
lubricated is now being put into
service.
NEARLY 250 lubsters, like
those used at service stations for
bulk oil, and a new 3,000-gallon
heavy-duty tank truck make up
the new system at present. Future
plans call for the installation of
eight overhead storage drums,
from 500 to J .000 gallons in
capacity, to be located perma-
nently at larger units. Two large
storage drums are already in op-
eration—one at the Hydroformer,
the other in the Light Ends area.
Additional galvanized lubsters
were distributed last week to
various operating plants.
PRIOR TO the inauguration
of the new system, lubricating
and cleaning oils were being de-
livered from the Compound Plant
in 55-gallon drums. However, as
additional units were constructed
and new equipment came into op-
eration, the drum method became
more and more lime-consuming.
Also, drums often detracted from
the neat appearance of a unit and
hindered good housekeeping.
This new method is the out

CLEU No. 1
Off Until
Wednesday
Although the major portion of
work on a general turnaround at
CLEU No. 1 will be completed
today, the unit will remain out of
service until about next Wednes-
day while repairs are being made
to a cooling lower common to
both the CLEU and Cal Unit No.
2 which is scheduled to come
down for general repairs and
alterations next Monday.
Flash Coil No. 2, down since
early last week to make lie-ins
with the Deasphalting Plant before
it starts operation, is scheduled to
return to service today.
growth of a model lubrication
system set up in 1952 in the Light
Ends area where a large storage
tank was installed and several
lubsters located. Plans were
started early in 1953 to replace
all drums with the lubsters and
larger storage tanks.
H. R. GARRETT, helper at
the Compound Plant, will make
deliveries. He started filling lubs-
lers at the beginning of the week.
“This new improved lubrication
system will be a big help in keep-
ing Plant units running efficiently
and economically,” says J. B.
Alvis and H. A. Bordelon, en-
gineers who designed the system.
“We now have more than 7,000
pieces of equipment to lubricate.
Actually, this makes us one of our
own best customers.”

PILLS—I DON’T NEED
’EM, says Herman Collins, 1st
helper at the Light Oil Treaters.
Collins, who has an enviable
record of almost 29 years of serv-
ice without missing a day of work
because of illness, remarks, “The
only vitamins I lake are those
from the good old sunshine.” At
55, he is a picture of health. “I
just lake care of myself, dress for
the weather and drink lots of
water. Besides, my wife is a good
cook and she keeps me well fed,”
Collins added.
