ected six furnaces. The foundations of this construction
were completed. One charging crane was also completed
with two others under construction. Two smokestacks were
at the northern side of the workshop. One collapsed in
the Sumner of 1949. For sketch of the open-hearth plant
see Annex Ton 4.
a., The location o: the plants under construction ww as pro-
viousl.y determined and is correctly recorded in this
report.
b. Being previously observed in an early stage of con-
struction, the plant Layout was not completely covered,
and, therefore, the attached sketches and le; ends are
definitely valuable, especially as Annex 1 is the first
sketch to give such drytailed information. ',' Ith most of
the plant Installations located northwest of the power
plant, and with this area closely observed by source,, it
Is assumed that the whole sketch approaches facts pnr-
ticularly as the location of the fain plant departments
such as rolling mill, open-hearth plant, and rover plan
corresponds with previous Information. '..rile earlier in-
formation reported modern conveyer belts connecting coal
bunkers and boiler house of the po,.er plant, this report
-?ives details on the modern coal bunters of that section
. ex 3)
c. The production of construction materials is still ac-
ceptable as true for late 1949. Since later information
did not indicate any operation of open?he:rth furnaces,
the second source must have mistaken a test in January
1949 for real operation,
