YIjailan(lt Following a loan of $66 million by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, for jjje construction of a 140,000 kw power plant and transmission lines to Bangkok and 10 other towns, in 1958, die Bank is now making Thailand a kan of $6.6 million to carry on with jls development. It is estimated that ia 1964 total generating capacity of 320,000 kw will supply energy to Bangkok and 24 communities. .> U.S.S.R.: Use of a new "colloid" cement paste is said to make it pos sible to prepare hollow prefab secdons of reinforced concrete for erection of hydroelectric dams. Underground hot water--at 212 F to 250 F--will be tapped in Western Siberia from depths of 1500 to 6000 ft by a wood factory which will use the water for heating the factory, dry ing the wood and keeping waterways pen during the cold season. A serious efiort toward standardiza tion of thermal power plant build ings, in view of reducing costs, is being undertaken in Soviet Russia. Basically, the plan consists in design ing standard units which can be built to the size required by addition of intermediate sections. It isn't only the tee and design of the sections that ^make them interchangeable, but their ytomposition. f|For example, wall and roof of panels of foamed concrete can be subgliituted for panels of reinforced y concrete. In certain cases ferrocon- girders and crane supports can oe replaced with steel parts fitted into same place. continued fOWER MAY 1963 for best results use BELMONT SOOT BLOWER PACKING SETS . \ ' Style #4041 .
