Glyptal alkyd resins are synthetics in which are combined properties subtracted through chemistry from various materials produced in nature. Coal, petroleum, and animal and vegetable fats are the principal natural products used in the synthesis of alkyd resins. There are many Glyptal alkyd resins but all are made from phthalic anyhydride, derived from anphthalene, a coal derivative; glycérine which is made from animal fats, and either castor, soya or linseed oil. These are generally diluted with a solvent to form a solution to which the paint manufacturer adds his pigments to give the color he desires. The glycerine, oils and solvents purchased by General Electric for this manufacturing operation will arrive at the Anaheim Works in tank cars and will be stored in ten 15,000 gallon tanks on the tank farm. There is a storage building of 10,000 square feet for the phthalic anhydrides, fatty acids and similar solid materials. The Anaheim Works stand on a six-acre site. In addition to the tank farm and storage building, there is the main building, a two-story structure with a floor area of 19,000 square feet. The second floor, with a total of 4000 square feet, will house six kettles. The man the most striking feature of the plant are the precise controls for handling large quantities of liquids and solids, numerous labor-saving tools, above all, the care safety of personnel and plants. Controls of both weight and temperatures are as automatic as ingenuity has made possible. Safety protocols are as far as possiblematic and are highly important since many of the materials handled in the plant are volatile and, at stages in their process, are kept at temperature above their flash point.

While under construction the Anaheim plant was the property of General Electric Realty corporation which has been represented here by Claude Schutter, construction engineer, since early 1946. The plant was designed and built by the Blaw-Knox company of Pittsburgh, Pa., which specializes in the design and construction of chemical plants. E. W. Forker, vice-president of the company, came from Pittsburgh to attend the opening ceremonies. Harvey Keel has been the construction superintendent and directly responsible for carrying out the design. General Electric spokesmen refer to the Anaheim works as the most modern and efficient chemical plant possessed by the company. Even to a layman the plant is a thing of beauty, though there is not a feature of the building or equipment that is not strictly functional. To the observant lay- McGuffin; CNPA, Hugh B.

It won't be long until your electric current will be changed from 50-cycle to standard 60-cycle frequency. As the first step, a survey of electric appliances in each home is under way. While most 50-cycle appliances now in use will operate just as well on 60-cycle current, there are some which will require adjustment. A few days before or after your current is changed to 60 cycles, an Edison contractor's service man will call at your home and make necessary adjustments at Edison Company expense. Portable clocks will be taken care of by a special plan, details of which will be mailed to all customers. Change-over to 60-cycle current, the national standard, is being made by the Edison Company so you may have the conveniences and money-saving advantages of standardization and mass production of electrical equipment, and to facilitate the company's service to you. Many recently developed frequency-sensitive appliances, such as record players, clocks and automatic washing machines are now being produced only for 60 cycles. This Edison project, which involves service to nearly 700,000 customers in Southern California, is a tremendous undertaking. Your cooperation in making your appliances available for survey and adjustment will help us to help you. Frequency Change Department SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY
