The picture shows one of the huge repair shops at the Mae;na plant of the Utah Copper where a giant locomotive is virtually being rebuilt. Crews of trained workmen are continually workin? over and reconditionint: equipments in these tuge repair shops that are equipped with virtually every type of machine ma-chine necessary for the manufacture manufac-ture of now equipment except for the moulds. Mining is hard on equipment. It is exposed to all sorts of rough usage both underground and on the surface and repair shops are just as important to the mine as new equipment. Few could afford to operate if they were forced to purchase pur-chase new equipment every time something went wrong. Next time you kick about the repair bill on your car or some other mechanical appliance you own, just think of the repair bill of the Utah Copper. Maybe that will be some small consolation. . |
