From the end of the studio, a view of the company's other buildings is had and the little park that is still in the making, its clay hills and deceptive paths that promise to lead you one direction and take you another, are visible also from this portion of the studio. Countless stairs descend to the big room where two motor generator sets control the electrical wants of the whole plant. The motors are from 200 to 300 kilowatts and the switchboard is a twelve by twenty foot one. The developing room offers the very latest ideas The drying racks. in the way of metal vats in orderly rows and the drying room has a number of features that make it distinctively an A. B. one. The joining-room is one of the most pleasant in the whole building, its windows are long and many, making the room particularly bright, and the accommodation here for thirty-five workers is of the best and most modern type.
