A VISIT TO A PLANT

A group of pupils was going to visit a machine-building plant. They were met by the chief engineer. He told them a few words about the history of the plant and its work. After the introduction made by the chief engineer, the pupils were taken over the shops. They visited a forge, a foundry and the main assembly line. In the shops they watched the forging, casting and welding processes. The pupils were told about safety techniques, the aim of which is to prevent accidents. The air in the shops was purified by modern ventilators and dust-collecting apparatus.

Experimental work was conducted on a large scale; labor-saving devices were constantly being introduced.

The plant had several sanatoriums and rest homes where the workers could spend their holidays.

The pupils were much impressed by their visit to the plant and learned many interesting things about up-to-date equipment.
