Meanwhile, the scored crank-
shaft was transported to Houston
to be repaired. Last Saturday
morning, it was delivered to the
Central Shops building where
machinists had already started
the reassembly work, which, in-

After about 48 hours lime on
this assembly work, M & C em-
ployees had the power unit re-
built and ready to move back to
the RHB compressor building.

AI'I ER—You’d hardly recognize the C-l-C compressor power unit as
the same one shown in the previous photo, but it is. This is how it
looked at 8:30 Monday morning with repairs completed and all those
many parts cleaned and re-assembled. It is pictured on a pallet in the
Central Shop ready to be skidded outside where Rigging employees
would take over to return it to the RHB compressor house. Machinists
shown with the results of their weekend efforts are Liska, L. B. Watson,
Gentry, Jones and Adams. All except Watson appeared in the “before”
photo.

Here's How To Get Election Results
Employees outside the Refinery will be able to get the election
results every 15 minutes beginning at approximately 7:30 p.m. and
continuing until sign-off on Wednesday, July 10, over Baytown Radio
Station KWBA (1360 on your dial). In view of this service, it is
felt that calls to the radio station should be kept to a minimum
A recording machine will be set up by which employees who are
working inside the Refinery on Wednesday evening, July 10 can
get election results by telephone. The in-plant dialing extension will
be 2232. Employees inside the Refinery are requested not to call
the Humble operator for results of the election.

BEFORE—This is what the dismantled power unit of C-l-C compressor from Butyl RHB looked like last
Friday at 4:30 p.m. Its numerous parts covered a wide area of the Central Shop floor. The four machin-
ists above, with E. H. (Bud) Adlong at the far left as supervisor, had just started the work of assembling
the 18-ton “jig-saw puzzle.” Machinists working at the block are, from left, Joe Liska, J. C. Gentry, H. C.
Jones, and A. D. Adams. These employees and others who worked over the weekend were not stymied
by the array of parts. With their combined know-how and skill they finished the assembly work in less
than 48 hours.

During the middle of last
- week C-l-C compressor was re-
moved from service at Butyl RHB
because of a broken frame and
scored crankshaft. A prolonged
downtime for a compressor of
this size results in a considerable
reduction in rubber production.
Therefore, M & C and Process
personnel teamed up to work out
a course of action to get the en-
gine back in service as soon as
possible.
The compressor was disman-
tled and the parts of the power
unit or engine were taken to the
Central Shops where space, clean-
ing and handling facilities would
serve to facilitate assembly of the
power unit. A new frame to re-
place the broken one was or-
dered from Storehouse stock.
While this work was in progress
in the shops, back at the Butyl
RHB the broken frame was being

New badge pictures will be

By Tuesday of this week the
large power unit which, weighed
18 tons, had been hoisted by
Rigging employees and returned
to the wailing foundation in the
compressor building. It is esti-
mated that it will be back in
service by Friday afternoon
(today). In case this schedule
is met, the downtime will have
required only 9 days—several
days shorter than previously re-
quired for such extensive repairs
and reassembly work on similar
equipment.
When a new record is set at
the Refinery, it is almost impos-
sible to state accurately the num-
ber of employees involved. Last
month. however, a new record
was chalked up here by 994
people—the exact count—but not
one of them was a Baytown Re-
finery employee.
They came from everywhere,
this record-setting crowd of
folks, and without even trying
to do so they broke a Refinery
record of two years’ standing.
Seven came all the way from
China, three from Japan, and
one from France. There were
105 who journeyed from 21 dif-
ferent states of the U. S., while
a large group, 791 of them, listed
hometowns in various other sec-
tions of Texas. Another 87 were
from Baytown.
Each came to Baytown Re-
finery—not to set a record—but
to lake one of the guided tours
through the plant. Tour records
for June show a total of 994, a
new all-time high for visitors on
Refinery tours during one month.
This total for June exceeds by
201 people the former record set
in June 1961, when 793 folks
went on guided tours.
Even in a record like this,
Refinery employees—all of them
—actually deserve much credit.

Many of our out-of-town visitors
are employees’ friends and rela-
tives. Also, Refinery people travel
a lot, and never fail wherever
they go to tell about Baytown
and Humble’s huge refinery
where they work.
Largely as a result of this,
there have been 44,448 visitors
who toured Bay town Refinery
during the nine-year period since
scheduled lours were resumed
following the Korean conflict.
Other figures for this period give
additional details about our vis-
itors: 5,556 came from 49 other
states: 100 from Washington,
D. C. There were 20,854 from
other parts of Texas, while 17,-
201 were from the Baytown area.
To date, 69 different foreign
countries have been represented
by 777 foreign visitors on guided
tours of the Refinery.
Regular tours are scheduled
each Friday afternoon at 2
o’clock at No. 2 Community
Building. Following a brief ori-
entation where model units are
used to explain basic refining
processes, guests board buses for
a one and one-half hour tour of
operating and dock areas. Ar-
rangmements for special group
tours during weekdays can be
made by calling the Public Re-
lations office, Extension 3317.
