STEEL 'GET-AWAY' STRUCTURE
The pattern of lines in the above picture, which look like
little elevated railways or long ladders, is the steel "get-
away” structure and road crossing for heavy power lines
from the new No. 12 Substation being built across the
Wooster-Cedar Bayou Road from West Gate. The structure,
acting as racks, has been completed, and power lines were
being pulled into place on it this week.
The picture below shows the transformer that has re-
cently been moved in and set up on its foundation. The large
steel framework in the background will hold the switches
controlling the 69,000 volts coming in to the new purchased
power station from Substation No. 1.

Have you wondered why the
big stack of pipe is on the north
side of the storehouse? Primarily
the pile of pipe is for future
progress, but it has been tem-
porarily slacked there because of
lack of storage space in the reg-
ular pipe yards. Included in this
overflow of material for new con-
struction, expansion and routine
replacement of piping installa-
tions in the Refinery are 917 feel
of 31 inch mill-wrapped pipe that
will be used for cooling waler al
ihe new Benzene Unit under con-
struction across the Wooster-
Cedar Bayou Road near Reservoir
No. 2. The remainder of the stack
is made up of 4400 feel of mill-
wrapped 12 inch, and 20.221 feel
of bare 12 inch pipe. Most of this
is for slock and will be used where
needed, but the mill-wrapped 12
inch size will later be moved over
to the Welding Shop for fabricat-
ing.
With Easter just around the
corner, a time when the latest
fashions in wearing apparel are so
popular, it might be interesting
to know that some of the large
supply of pipe on hand now
originated in Paris, France. A
total order of 1.111.050 feet of
8, 10, and 12 inch pipe has been
placed with a firm there because
domestic mills could not supply
the immediate demand. Part of
the order, five carloads of the 8
inch pipe, arrived recently on the
S. S. Alblasserdyk from Antwerp.
Belgium. Although milady prob-
ably wouldn’t be interested in this
material, the Refinery will be
