serve credit for the accomplish-
ment. Their conscientious efforts
made it possible. Several changes
in the setup of the unit in the past
few years also were contributing
factors in the record run. A cy-
clone dust collector cuts down on
erosion, clogging and fouling of
lines in heat exchangers; certain
line changes aid in stopping cor-
rosion; and use of welded return
bends instead of flanges eliminates
The Annuity & Thrift Plan has
been changed to permit the pur-
chase of annuities for special war
service through the Plan for em-
ployees who have been in military
or government service subsequent
to April, 1952, the official end
of World War II. This proposal
establishes the same provisions as
were applicable during World
War II for those in war service,
and defines the term “war service”
to include military, government,
and related services as approved
by the Board of Directors.

history of the Asphalt Plant
was produced—more than 25
million gallons, or enough to pave
a two-lane highway 2,000 miles
long. In addition, about 20 mil-
lion gallons of furnace oil were
produced.
THE VOLUME last year sur-
passed by about ten per cent the
record set in 1952.
A total of 7,000 transport trucks
and 750 tank cars were needed to
carry the products from the plant.
Besides that, 11,000,000 gallons of
furnace oil were transported by
pipeline to a carbon black plant
about seven miles away.

MARKING UP NEW RECORD RUNS

circle record-run figures on run sheet
leak in a header in the reheat
furnace, a record run ended for
the unit—both in throughput and
uninterrupted operating time.
IT HAD been on stream for
155 days since the last downtime.
In that period, which began
August 23, 1953, the Hydroformer
set a throughput record of 3.9
million barrels of product.
The new operating record is
nearly one-third better than the
previous high of 117 days.
