The story described how they 'Obtained no injuries whatsoever dur ing a one-vear period. As The ECHO was going to press thi? month their performance was continuing, well into the 1 1th month, without injury. W hat makes a groirp work this length of time without receiving a 'Cratch? Is there a reason behind this safely performance--one which might lie of value to each of us? So. on the tlteorv that you can't arzue with success, we decided to go back and talk with each man in the (rroup to see what his specific rea soning was. We a=ked each man the question: "To What Do You Attribute the Out standing Safety Performance in the Machine Shop During the Past* Year?" Their answers were interesting and varied. Perhaps a study of these an swers will benefit each of us as we trv ami improve our own sulely elforts. whatever our jobs may lie: Man n.

(Jne man was stationed on top of the TLI. Building ami another on the ground iti the vicinitv of the crane, each with a portable sending ami re ceiving radio set. A< the slack was raised up into position, specific instructions vvere re layed back atul forth between the two men with radios, who pass on the word to those involved in plac ing the stack. This procedure has eliminated attempts to shout signals, arm waving and other effort* to com municate. Thus two stacks, about 75 feet in length, were put up in record time with a maximum of safety and efliciem.y and a minimum of confusion. And another device takes its place in the* Houston plant as an aid in doing a lug job.

Plant Scale Car Performs an Exacting; Weighty Job for Ethyl \\ ithin tlie Houston plant there is a railroad car lh.il handy qualifies for litis name. (l is a runty little unit that squats low among the sleek tank cars which transport Ethyl prodm ts all oxer the country. This unit carries no ptudtict; its insides arc filled. Icaiing no room for anollu-r commodity. It remains unchanged in jppearauee itu e it hist rolled in nine Sears ago. It D called a scale car. It sveiidis exactly MO.OOO pounds. Kxactlv.

The part this little car play- is re- Scales Next The story found on this page< describing the KlltyJ scab* ear. is obviously only pari of the story. The magnificent Plant scales, upon which our lank cars and lank trailers are weighed, arc remarkable precision instruments. These scales require, and receive, the skill of a crafts man it* their maintenanee. It is planned |o present this information in the next issue of The ECHO, space permitting. l.Ued iliu-ctlv to Ethyl customer*. This cur is Ethvl's rolling guarantee that tank ear scales on llu- Houston plant are u> accurate as it is humanly pos sible to make them. When an Ethel customer receives a lank of "Ethyl lluid lie mav hr fully confident that tin- weight given on his hill of lading is the exact quantile lie is paving for. How is this dour, you say.-' hire cadi week, vcar-aiouml. tinplant locomotive nudges the scale car on to the Plant tank ear scales. The v'eiglit which is then registered on the scale should tome to exactly' Mo.000 pounds. If it doesn't, then neces sary adjustment* on the scale are made. The little scale car is a measure ment standard that approaches abso lute perfection. Urgularlv a railroad company brings in its own master le-t car and checks the Ethyl scale car against theirs. Tin- difference i* invariably ulmo*t non-existent. If the Etl.\l scale car i' painted, the weight change which might occur because of the added paint is re-cal culated to o/fset anv minute dilfcr1 -i ice. If a holt is i hanged, this pns. sildc weight di(Terence i* considered. When not in u>c. the scale car is kept hou'i-d m the Plant garage so that the weather becomes a minimum fac tor as might relate to weight change. Thus it becomes ohviou* that this insignificant unit, seemingly Useless, is certainly as important as any other unit on the Plant. This i,, true heraii'e Ethyl custom ers have a right to expect, in addi tion to highest possible quality and outstanding service, a full measure of the product they arc huying. And the little runty scale car as sures them just that. ETC 20773 Pace Four The ECHO ERAH Campers--Five Years Ago luilr.

Stores Receiving shed employed tile steadying influence of a 2,000 pound pig of lead. Many similar Hurricane Procedures were taken in all areas. Taped glass and sandbagged entrance in 0 & M Build ing lobby. Despite efforts like these, water came up several inches into the building, making big cleanup job. The furnace area of the TEL Building was heavily sand bagged in anticipation of rising water. However the water came up quite high in this area, causing some damage to the melt pots. Mo, this isn't a lumber yard, just debris swept into the low area to the east of the TEL Building. Cleanup of this area is nearing completion. Pjzi Four Th- ECHO ?r[-tcmL<T. l`*>t Storm Damage Minimized by Timely Action F3 Early Tuesday morning, September 12, water was re ceding fast, but some evidence of the height can be visualized from the view, looking north across Chlorin ated Hvdrocarbons area. The south side of the old construction warehouse, near Garage, shows some effect of the strong winds which occurred .Monday, September 11. Only superficial damage was sustained on permanent installations. More debris, looking west along the Ship Channel em bankment of Ethyl's Houston plant. At the height of the storm the water was several feel deep at this point. This area, far from the Ship Channel, shows evidence of debris and roofing deposited helter-skelter. A big cleanup job in all areas of the plant followed closely on tht.1 heels of the storm. Tuesday shot taken of Channel Water pumping station shows these massive electric pumps still inundated. They were completely submerged just a few hours earlier. Stairway down to pumping platform ripped up in fore ground, with Maintenance personnel commencing im mediate repair efforts to these units, channel almost normal in this view. Fiw- Lux' Home Sustained Severe Water Damage Six Feet of Water Garbage can contains remains of what was once care fully-wrapped food in the freezer shown at rear.

Electric power line touches ground in Lux backyard, with sheds ripped up, concrete foundations still at tached. Soggv. soaked furniture heaped up in Lux bedroom, most of it ruined and imusuable. Almost every home in this area, Brownwood Subdivision, suffered some damage. Pj!i- M\ 1 h- Ll.Hi I'AM Donald Otis' Home Almost Demolished Brick Walls Fell Furniture Ruined Note: (Many employees' homes suffered storm damage, though less than that shown on this page) The Donald Otis family, residents of Brownwood Sub division were hard hit.

A picture window view of neighbors from several blocks away salvaging remains of their home which ended up in Otis' yard. In this view' you're looking through the wall studding of two bedrooms, where savage water swept away everything. Once a well-kept kitchen, the room was in shambles following the storm. This view shows kitchen cabinets, sink. Some of the debris and foreign matter which swept into the Otis home is visible here in foreground. Lying on its side is a refrigerator, total loss.
