Work is going on this
week at the Alkylation Plant
to complete the installation
of a central lubricating sys-
tem for the mixers of reactors
6, 7. 8, and 9. This lubrication
system will consist of facilities
to change the oil in the gear
cases of the seven mixers on
each of the four reactors. The
equipment consists of a small
pump connected to an oil reser-
voir. This pump forces oil from
the reservoir into lines leading
to each reactor. There are out-
lets along the oil lines for each
mixer gear case, so that hoses
may be attached to fill the cases.
Drainage lines from each gear
box will complete the oil chang-
ing system.
The old method of chang.
ing oil for these reactor mixers
was a cumbersome task. Each
gear case holds 8 gallons of oil,
and it was necessary that the old
oil be drained into buckets and
carried down steps for disposal
before new oil could be poured
into the gear case. Adding the
new oil was done by hoisting oil
barrels to the top of each reactor
by using a crane car.
Installation of the central lub
ri eating system not only make-
changing the oil a faster opera-
tion, but improves housekeeping
at the Alkylation plant as well
as eliminates a hazard from oil
spills which were common when
oil was changed the old way.

There are many types of train-
ing programs given to employees
in the various departments to
leach them more about their jobs
and prepare them for future as-
signments.
One of the latest training pro-
grams is the orientation program
now under way for younger em-
ployees in Research and Devel-
opment to give them a belter
understanding of refinery opera-
tion and the part their work will
play in it.
In a series of morning class-
room lectures coordinated by J.
F. Mathis and S. H. Hastings,
experts in the different depart-
ments are called on to discuss
WHAT DO THESE LETTERS MEAN?
“What do those letters mean?” Carpenter Louis Minard, right, asks L. J. Weiler, safely
supervisor, and W. B. Patterson, Jr., safety engineer. Weiler and Patterson put up signs like
the one above at each of the plant entrances last Tuesday morning. The answer lo Minard s
question will be given in April. In the meanlime, can you figure it out?

HUMBLE CLUB DANCE SUCCESSFUL
Are you in this picture? It shows part of the capacity crowd of Humble Club members
who went dancing at Sylvan Beach last Friday night. This was the first refinery Humble
Club dance of 1958. Gregory Strawn, Pipe, who is Humble Club entertainment chairman
for this year, has announced that Humble Club dances during 1958 will be on the first
Friday night of every third month. The next dance is scheduled for June 6 at the Sylvan
Beach dance pavilion.
SICKNESS
(Continued from Page 1)
staff believe that this high sick-
ness index is due to a near influ-
enza epidemic coupled with in-
creased respiratory infections
brought on by unusual condi-
tions where the weather often
changed from hot to cold to
rain during a day’s time.
The doctors advise employ-
ees to prepare for these fre-
quent, unforeseen changes by
wearing the proper clothing.
Even though the day starts out
sunny and bright, bring a coal
or jacket to work in case the
weather should turn cold before
the end of the day. Proper rest
and eating habits are also an
important part of keeping well,
the doctors point out.
