Abstract :
INDICATIVE of the rapid growth of the fluorescent-lamp industry is the $3,000,000 “black-out” plant completed in August at Fairmont, W. Va., by the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company. Built in less than five months, the first units of this plant comprise a single-story main factory building 224 feet wide and 885 feet long, auxiliary buildings, bus terminal, parking lot, and water reservoir, all fenced and floodlighted for protection. Initial production is scheduled to be 50,000 fluorescent lamps daily; ultimate 200,000.
