Goloveros Opens Tronsfer Plqnt

Calaveras Cement Company has opened a bulk cement transfer plant in San I-eandro to provide the San Francisco and East Bay .construction industry with its nearest supply of bulk cement. The $100,000 installation has a storage capacity of 5,000 barrels of cement. It is replenished daily by rail.

Mel J. London, Calaveras vice-president in charge of marketing, said the new transfer plant is making it possible for Bay area truckers to pick up from ll to 4 loads of cement in the time that would normally be consumed bringing back a single load from a manufacturing plant. The San Leandro installation is on Washington avenue, where it is easily accessible from the East Shore Freeway. It is equipped to handle four varieties of bulk cement but will stock only Types I and II portland cement except on special order. Two trucks can be loaded at a time. In addition to supplying East Bay and San Francisco bulk users, the plant will serve North Bay and peninsula points within a radius of 25 miles.

NIWKC Proposes Modulor Plcnning

An interesting proposal on modular planning for built-in cooking appliances, made by the National Institute of Wood Kitchen Cabinets, puts forth the view that although wood, as a highly workable material, is compatible with varying sizes of built-ins and can "live with" the present situation, it would be better for all concerned if modular planning were adopted by the industry. It is recommended that appliance manufacturers, when re-tooling or re-designing their units in the normal course of events, give very careful consideration to modular planning.
