American dream a achic 1 GRAND hope ment, which for years been a| predominating topic of discus- sion and conjecture anong offi orand of cials of the American Hard- ware Corporation, is a realit in a new power plant, the most modern and up-to-d New England, and the most efficient, on the corporation's | property on Park street The entire plant was con-| structed and laid out under the direction of the corporation’s engineer, C. H. Norris, and final installation and its ver evident efficiency, mark & great personal triumph for hin | and his directing genius. Work | on the plant was started June, 1923, with not a letup until the plant was finished in the time promised, Dec 1924, The equipment cost estimated at 180,000, The completion ar he plant is the soun sanguine note for New Britain's in- dustrial future, for in the capacity of the plant there is very plainly to be seen a hint of the expansion of the corporation’s local domains. At present, the plant supplies power for the two divisions of the cor- poration, P, & F. Corbin division and the Corbin Cabinet Lock division, and, according to Mr. Norris, is cap- able of supplying more than twice the power at present necessitated in the adequate operation of the di- ~islons mentioned. The total capacity of the plant is 5,500 kilowatts, and it at pre furnishes all the power, heat, | and process steam necessary in the | eperation of the two local plants. Beveral perplexing difficulties were encountered and overcome by the engineer during the course of the installation of the plant. One of these, and the chief problem to he solved, was the tearing out of the 6id and the substitution of the new mechanism without the loss of any power whatsoever to the two di- sions. That Mr. Norrls was able to | do. this s itselt ample testimony ot“ his able efficlent dirccting genius, | Until the installation of the plant, the American Hardware corporation here furnished only one-third of its own power through the use of re- in 1 instaltation of | of anot er ciprocating engines, the remaining two-thirds being purchased from the !
