Modern Unloading Plant Is Enlarged * Two new ore unloading units have been placed in service at the ore dock of the Pittsburgh & Conneaut Dock Co., Conneaut Harbor, O. This dock, it is claimed, now is one of the most modern and completely equipped ore unloading stations in the world, the complement of unloaders now totaling nine as shown by the accompanying illustration. All un- loading machines were built by the Wellman-Seaver-Morgan Co., Cleveland. The two units recently installed were built in record time. Contracts were awarded Jan. 1, 1924 and the machines were placed in operation July 1, 1924. The four machines shown at the left in the accompanying illustration were the first of this type to be constructed, the contract having been placed in 1898. These units are of 10 tons capacity each and are operated hydraulically. The re- machines are electrically liam maining - five operated, the first of this type having been installed in 1910. =e b San SSisthergss
