at Bethlehem-Beaumont

Fabricating shop was lengthened by nearly 600 It and a roll shop added. Plate handling has been im- proved by the new electric hammerhead crane (fore- ground and above) and by electric transfer cars which bring stock Irom the storage yard into the shop.

Automatic shopwork by new burning machine (below) and new flame planer speeds fabrication of sub- assemblies.

At our Beaumont Yard we now offer expanded service.

We've installed new equipment, built new handling facil- ities, improved our production techniques—all to enable us to push more work through the yard faster than the old "possible" would ever allow.

Beaumont today is as active as any yard in the nation.

Our new efficiency is already paying off in shorter lead times, speedier fabrication, early deliveries. If you ever had trouble getting on our work schedule, try us again.

For the design and construction of drilling rigs, barges, and other vessels, as well as for all kinds of ship repair, conversion, and jumboizing work—including drydocking and pierside and anchorage service—your best bet on the Gulf Coast is still Bethlehem at Beaumont.
