RAPID WORK IN THE BATTERY PLANT Installing Salvaged Machinery in Quickest Time on Record. Every spare nook and cranny of the immense new concrete buildings of the Battery Plant was requisitioned for the Phonograph manufacturing departments. The factory organizations of the battery, phonograph and other interests were amalgamated into a small army of executives with Robert A. Bachman, V. P. and Gen'l Mngr. of the Battery Company as commander-in-chief. By a judicious rearrangement of some of the battery equipment satisfactory accomodations were found for all, and over 460 machines were salvaged and set up in the screw, tool, japan-cleaning, jewel, grinding, drilling and other departments within nineteen days. The details of the installation are interesting. It took 1200 feet of line shafting and 3000 feet of counter-shafting all connected up with over three miles of new leather belt. Some 2000 feet of benches were made with new lumber using the iron legs that had passed through the fire. The feet of these benches were all lagged to the concrete floors. While the machines were being put in place over 3000 feet of piping for air, water and gas were installed, necessitating over 2000 joints. This was in addition to 3600 feet of pipe used in the Edison system of line-shaft suspension. It was strenuous work while it lasted.
