3. A Forge Shop, capable of producing such forgings as are required in the machinery to be built.
4. An Iron and Brass Foundry, in which may be produced the rough castings of the parts that are to enter into the machines constituting the product.
5. Manufacturing Departments, in which all parts (large and small) of the product are made from the rough stock—such as castings, forgings, bar stock, and the like, to the completed parts ready for assembling.
6. Assembling and Erecting Departments, in which individual parts may be assembled into groups of related parts, and these erected into complete machines.
7. A Power Plant, containing the proper equipment for furnishing the necessary power for driving the machinery in these various departments, and for providing lighting and heating facilities for the plant.
