Complete Facilities For Industrial Research (picture on page 3) Harold Vagtborg, director of the Armour Rehearch Foundation, are nounced last week that. a contract has been let for the construction of a metallurgical research build~ ing. The building, to be located on Federal Street at 34th, will cost, equipped, $250,000 and will provide the middle west with the largest and most complete facil- ities for the conduct of develop- mental and industrial research in thin field. (Mil Foundry 'll‘o lie ltoinovml The building will be constructed around the existing foundry and metallurgical research building, which is no longer large enough to carry on and service the many research projects contracted for by the ll‘oundation having to do with steel, alloys, and non-ferrous metals. The new structure will be built around the old one with research work being conducted simultaneously with construction work. After two bays 0! the new unit have been completed, the old unit will be torn down, and the building completed. New lllquimnont To lilo installed The structure will hence the most modern of metallurgical re“ search equipment. Two cupolae, one having a capacity for the melting of iron of 3,000 pounds per hour and the other having a capacity of 1,000 pounds per hour, will be inntalled. In addition, there will be installed one Bas- eemer type converter, two electric furnaces having a capacity of 500 pounds and 10 pounds: per hour, respectively, and the myriad items of equipment used for chemical analysis, physical testing, machin- ing, and metallography. There will also be installed a steel ingot rolling unit. According to Mr. Vagtborg, thin unit of the Foundation, while it will be used to service the many metal projects under investiga» tion by the Foundation, will by no means immediately reach ca- pacity operation. In constructing and equipping this unit, the direc« tors of the Foundation have in mind long—term research, and the equipment has been designed and purchased so that additional pro- jects can be conducted with ease in the unit.
