The floor is 118 feet in diameter and 12 inches thick. It required 430 cubic yards of concrete, or 800 ions, enough to more than fill 17 freight car loads of 51 tons each if hauled by train. Work began at 6:30 a. m. on Tuesday. August 12. and was completed by 7:30 p. m. It was necessary to complete % the job in one dav. since no break could be made in the process. Tlie concrete mix was supplied by a Clinton plant, the C. & L. Concrete Co., which used a fleet of eight trucks, one behind the other, in the continuous pouring job The mixer trucks filled buckets holding a half cubic yard each which were swung out to the floor on cables by the two cranes.
