He was of in H. Gibney sed letter at the Mrs. Helen B. a grip patient. of H. J. Brault, the company’s en-| gineer. i Mr. Rockwell said the plans are so arranged that the east and west walls will be but temporary affairs and can be readily removed when the company is ready to Increase its floor space. The building which Mr. Rockwell ad- mitted is but the first of a series of structures which the company pro- poses to erect, will be but one story high, and will be of brick construc- tion . Much of the machinery to be used in the plant has already been built and in two months the company ex- pects to have the walls and roof fin- ished and the remainder of the worlk for enough advanced to permit of its installation. At the start, according to Mr. Rockwell, the company. will practically devote its time to build- Ing the machinery which it will re- quire and while the manufacture of ball bearings will be begun as soon as the shop is ready for occupancy, the busin will not done here on a very extensive scale at first. The company will make all its own equip- ment and consequently the plant will develop slowl The plant will be operated under the direction of Hugh Rockwell and L. A. Drake, who is also an officer of the company, the men dividing their time between Plainville and Hartford, it being the intention to keep the fac- tory in the capitol city running at least until a bigger shop is erected | here. | Although no announcement has been made to that effect, it is the gen- eral belief that the senior member of the Rockwell family is behind the venture and the corporation will in a short time become an enterprising competitor of the New Departure company of Bristol, the presidency of which was recently taken from him. | Mr. Rockwell's time is largely taken up with the interests of the Marlin Arms company and the Bristol Brass | company and he probably will not de- | vote a great deal of personal | attention to the Plainville factory at | least just now. ! Tt is said that a raid is planned on the employes of the New Depar- ture factory and the Rockwell-Drake people have hopes of getting a num- ' ber of the skilled workmen in the | Bristol factory to work for them. ‘Wants Merchants to Co-operate. Hoping to relieve the congestion on ' the railroads and bring about a re- moval of the freight embargo, which is causing much concern throughout the state, the Connecticut Manufac- turers association has sent out an ap- peal to factory owners and merchants to avoid unnecessary delay in unload- ing cars that they may be available for use. In a letter to the Trumbull Electric company, the association de- clares that the congestion has not been relieved in the slightest since the embargo was ordered. In fact con- ditions are getting worse if any- thing. The association’s investigation of the situation has revealed the fact that the average time for releasing cars in now eight days compared with three days in normal times. This would indicate that the manufactur- ers and the merchants themselves are partially responsible for the exist- ing conditions. F. T. Wheeler, vice president of tha company, said today that while the local concern has not been handicap- ped to any great extent as yet, be- | cause of the embargo, it is liable to be seriously affected unless there is a speedy improvement in conditions, It has a number of carloads of raw material on the road at the present time and no prospect of delivery. If the manufacturers and merchants | will have their shipments unloaded without delay, Mr. Wheeler believe. there is bound to he a big improve. ment, and perhaps an early removal of the embargo. A.
