E the Public Service Co.'s Cher okee Italian, E. 62nd Ave. ond Franklin St., Friday hoisted a 300,000-pound steam drum 150 feel in the air through the sleel framework that will support it. But it was no simple task. The massive drum was railed to the site on a railroad flatcar, hooked to cables looped through pulleys, and then powered upward by a mighty winch, at on agonising inch-a-minuto.

The huge cylinder will be the major boiler component at the Cherokee plant's third unit, slated for com pletion in mid-1962. It will produce 150,000 kilowatts of electricity.
