USY at Vicksburg, Tournalayer
No. 1 to date has set down 32
houses. Six of these have been com-
pleted and LeTourneau employes
have moved their families in. At
Longview Tournalayer No. 2 is start-
ing to work on the Texas plant em-
ployes' housing problem. As this is
being written Longview is complet-
ing fabrication of the final parts for
the base of Tournalayer No. 3 and has
started assembling the forms. About
the time it is being read Tournalayer
No. 3 should be completed and ready
to go to work on the first non-company
housing project.
Where this first Tournalayer for
lease will go on its initial job has not
been determined at this writing.
Probably it will be a location quite
close to the LeTourneau plant at
Longview where the promotion or-
ganization can keep a watchful eye
on it.
Where it could go is something else
again. More than 3,500 inquiries have
been received and answered. Of these
an estimated 150 are financially
capable of supporting a Tournalayer
program and about 60 such have ex-
hibited the aggressive, continued in-
terest that warrants classing them as
potential users. They are from vari-
ous sections of America.
Letters, telephone calls and tele-
grams have brought inquiries from
more than 30 countries. Governments
have sent envoys, such as Barret de
Beaufort, housing and planning con-
sultant, member of the French Mis-
sion of Reconstruction and Urbanism
in Washington. Contractors have vis-
ited from Belgium, Switzerland, Mex-
ico and South American countries.
Leading in the number of inquiries
sent are, in the order named, Mexico.
England, France, Brazil, Chile, China
and Argentina. All of these domestic
2and export inquiries have come un-
solicited,.
away and production is rolling, DickLeTourneau and his promotion cre,
have started contacting large sca;
Now that the band music has died realtors, contractors, insurance con
panies and other likely prospects.
