This concrete jig-saw puzzle is the foundation for a 42 foot vertical boring mill at the General Electric Company Works in Schenectady NY. The cement bulwark, with walls almost two feet thick, will support one of the largest known removable rail type mills ever built. The foundation has an over-all size of 37 by 59 feet and sinks 10 feet into the ground. The completed mill, constructed by the Consolidated Machine Tool Corp., has a heavy table, measuring 20 feet in diameter, and a removable cross rail weighing 70 tons. Powered by a 100-hp DC drive motor, the mill will be used by GE to machine hydro generator stator frames and upper bearing brackets assemblies. Some 100 tons of steel including 18 tons of reinforced steel, 10 tons of stud material and 70 tons of piling went into the foundation. Nearly 700 cubic yards of dirt were removed to make way for the massive foundation using 560 cubic yards of concrete. The base has an overall weight of 1,134 tons.

The General Electric Company's General Engineering Laboratory is birthplace of many of the world's scientific wonders, but when L.W. Crookes emerges from his shop carefully pushing a baby buggy , even old-timers do a double take. Crookes, usually too busy for explanation, frequently interrupts his stroll down the long corridors, sets the brake on the chrome-trimmed perambulator and make sure that his charge is snugly tucked in among the cushions and soft covers. Crookes is responsible for maintenance of hundreds of delicate, costly instruments used by GE engineers to experimental work with thermal power systems. The instruments are far too fragile to be carted from one shop to another on the hand trucks normally provided, and when Crookes asked for a specially constructed vehicle, he was told it would cost him at least $200. Crookes, experienced father of three children, went to a second hand store and purchased the buggy for $17. His ingenuity saved some $180 and assured his ""babies"" a shock proof ride. Only unsuspecting spectators get a jolt.
