EUiott steam turbines in sizes from 2 hp to 600 hp drive all sorts of pumps, tans, and compressors around the Watson refinery. A typical line of these turbines is illustrated. Turbines in the plant operate at three steam pressures. Some take steam at 600

synchronous motors driving Ingersoll-Rand duplex air compressors in the Indiana Harbor Works of The Youngstown Sheet & Tube Company at East Chicago, Indiana. The two air compressors supply the general air requirements for a new cold-reduced sheet mill which cold-rolls sheet steel at the rate of 40,000 tons per month. The compressors also may supply emergency air supply to a nearby tin mill. With both compressors operating, the complete requirements of both tin mill and sheet mill may be supplied, the tonnage capacity of both plants being 120,000 tons per month. Air requirements include air cylinders, air hoists, air lifts, also emergency cooling and cleaning of equipment.
