It had been generally beheved that Comp, B, because of Its high density, could not be educted. Using research findings of the Iniermountain Resetrch and Engineering Company and the University of Utah, the division developed a Urge washing and educting system, and the first batch of 2.500 tons of Comp. B returned $200,000 above the cost of research and development. Comp. B is now used widely In strip and hardrock mining.

In 1954, only 44 of the 675 rentable unit were In use; and In 1956, only 165 unit were occupied. A 1161 order directed that 162 occupied and rehabilitated apartment! in TOD Park be removed and old as surplus by July, 1962. This deadline was extended to 1963 because of the rapid swelling of the work force. RECENT ACTIVITIES AND TlfE FTTURE Tooele Ordnance Depot has grown and developed through the rapid expansion during World War II and the subsequent contraction - through the Korean War peak and the following curtailment of operation. Since the Korean War, TOD ha assimilated Deseret Depot Activity, taken over the functions of the Ogden Arsenal, and become the major ammunition equipment design center for the nation1 Ordnance Corp.

Arrington PAItT IV Offer on the Low Profile Nylon Tire (N; that Gives 5,000 to 8,000 BONUS MILES! G. Alexander DURING THE KOREAN war the Tooele installation had made conscientiou effort to Introduce concepts and technique of cieniific management and Industrial engineering. Cost and performance standards were act up. and a regular management anatyiia of Depot activities wa Instituted. One tangible result of thia concern was the development in 1957 of IROAN-Inspe- ct, Repair Only At Necessary." Whereas before, the many component which might have been reused, a p complete disassembly and physical inspection had destroyed many components which might have been reused, a p Inspection and function testing of the vehicles showed which parts needed repair. These tests were followed by repair. Inspection. and painting. In a typical period under the "old" system the Combined Maintenance Division had reconditioned 123 Jeeps at a unit cost of $1,179. Using the I ROAN method the division was able to process during a similar period 720 Jeeps at a unit cost of $765. More than 3.000 feeps were rebuilt under this arrangement during the first half of 1959. The division used the IROAN method on 1C9 7 tanki during the first half of 1958, and where the unit cost had been $14,233 under the old method, it was reduced to $8,133 with IROAN. These techniques not only enabled TOD to obtain additional assignment! and missions, leading to a permanent expansion in it but the activities, IROAN was officially adopted by the Ordnance Corps nationally, and Korea of officials from various installations throughout the country were sent to Tooele to learn the process for use elsewhere. OTHER ACTIVITIES AT TOD during the years after the Korean War have included the receipt and shipment of ammunition and the destruction of obsolete bombs and ammunition. During the last half of 1954, employees destroyed 80.484 rounds of 57 mm. shells, 190,426 rounds of 75 mm. projectiles, 24,350 rounds of 75 mm. high explosive shells, 6,355 of the cluster fragmentation bombs. 515 of the cluster bombs, and 85,827 rounds of 37 mm. shot. From these operations 1.260 tons of brass, 15 tons of and many tons of iron and ateel were recovered. All of this was done with virtually no loss bf life. Indeed, the first fatal accident in Depot history occurred In Septema ber, 1953, during the feverish activity. An operator of a 76 mm. ammunition gauging machine did not notice that one round was already in the gauge. When he attempted to insert a second round the nose of the second hit the primer of the first and the resulting explosion killed two operators. pre-sho- Save $4 to $8 a pair, up to $20 a set! $n Deluxe to more To Introduce the Gates motorUU, the factory has authorized us to offer it at a special demonstrator price.

Known as the Western Stock Control and Data Processing Center, it processes orders for war materiel and supply requisitions from troops throughout the Western States, Alaska. Hawaii, and Army stations scattered over the Pacific Theatre and in the Far East. Named RAMAC, the electronic brains are the nucleus of the new large office division, staffed by more than 400 persons, inaugurated in January, 1962. The electrical processing eauioment includes over 50 machines and related equipment, and is provided under a contract wun International Business Machines Corporation. Crammed with millions of facts, descriptions, inventories, and data about TODa own stocks of munitions, vehicles, and spare parts, and of inventories of arsenals throughout the nation, the center now handles requisitions and issues of defense materiel and supplies at the rate of 65,000 orders per day. Its lightning-rapi- d action makes possible instantaneous handling. With the closing of the Naval Supply Depot at Clearfield, Utah, in 1962, TODs expansion . and potential for future growth assumes significance. The Defense Department estimates that while the changeover to TOD will cost $13 million it will ultimately save the nation $28 million per year. Moreover, the expansion of Tooele will mean at least at $5 million a year greater expenditure added to the already $20 million which TOD injects into the Utah economy every year an increase of almost 26 per cent. It is also probable that Utahs spectacular new missiles industry will receive a further shot In the arm by this expansion, as may the rapidly growing local metals Industry. THE PRESENCE OF TOD and other military installations in the state has also given Utah businessmen the "inside track on bidding for military contracts relating to the manufacture of conventional as well as to missile-ag- e equipment and parts. TOD now maintains four "million dollar boards filled with invitations to bid on manufacturing jobs for thousands of different types of Army equipment and parts. Originally established during the early days of World War II as a temporary reserve ammunition depot for the much larger Ogden and Benicia arsenals, the Tooele Ordnance Depot has not only survived the many reductions in such facilities, but has absorbed the workload of these and other once prominent installations to become the major Army ordnance supply center in the West. In this respect the expansion of TOD has paralleled the growth of Ogdens Utah General Depot, which, in like manner, has become the major center for the Quartermaster Corps in serving troops in Western United States, the Pacific Islands, and the Far East. In the case of TOD, there can be no doubt that this position "at the top of the heap" has come because of its good performance reliability, high in handling the many missions productivity, and economy assigned ot it. t(v-tn- ever-great- The progress being made on the Construct. on of the famed I.agle Gate in Salt Lake City, came m for pai-- e by the Utah Slate Highway Lkpartmcnt. The Department recently awarded a contract of 115.000 to the Paulof sen Cons', reel wn Company Salt City for the construction of (he Gate and the Installation of the Eagle. C. TAYLOR Burton, Director of Highways, commenting upon the project, praised the First Presidency of the Church of Saints Jesus Christ of Latter-dawho hive cooperated wuh the Department of Highways in the reconstruction of this historic site. "State Street leading to the State Capitol and the State Office Building handles over vehicles per day," siaied Mr. Burton. "When the Department of Highway announced Us proposal to widen this narrow section of highways to five lanes In order to handle this massive mount of traffic, the First Presidency of the LDS Church Indicated its complete cooperation In transferring and restoring the historic sites at this lo10,-9- cality. "The LDS Church magnanirff"rrd to exchange mously right of wav valued at several million for the restoration and construction of the Eagle and the Gate at South Temple and State Streets.

Although TOD will still nut have as many employees as during the Korean War peak. Its employment is expected to remain relatively stable at the new high peacetime level. About 1,500 or 80 per cent of the new employees are expected to be Utah residents. D OF TOD'S employees now commute from the Salt Lake and Utah county areas, and it Is possible that many of these transferred from Benicia and Mount Rainier will prefer a larger urban area to a small community like Tooele. Whatever the Impact of TOD'a new expansion on the city of Tooele, its influence on the Wasatch Front economy will be undeniable, and the growth of TOD makes it Increasingly more Important to the defense of the nation. In any event the Tooele bastion is established as the strategic hub of the United States Army in the West. Beginning In 1962, TOD was one of three basic supply centers in the United States mission' now designed to serve specific geographic areas. TOD Includes the Western United States and the Pacific and Far Eastern areas. With the consolidation of the Army's technical services in 1962, the name of Tooele Ordnance Depot was changed to Tooele Army Depot. g Injured 15 workers, and precipitated a three-wee- k Because of its excellent safety record over the years, considering the danger Involved in its operations, TOD has received the Department of Army Award of Merit, the Certificate of Merit for Safety of the Ordnance Department, and the Federal Safety Council Award of Merit. SALES OF SCRAP continued to return money to the Depot to help pay for its salvage operations. In the first half of 1954, 9,400 tons of scrap were sold for $372,704; wood sales totaled $21,426; and the value of materiel disposal was $693,184, for a total of more than $1 iwill'nn. T sale averaged between $1,800,000 and $2 million during the years since the end of the Korean conflict. DURING THE POST Korean period TOD began a new operation which is one of the most interesting and creative on the Depot today. Late in 1954, the Defense Department established at TOD the Office of the Ordnance Ammunition Command. National Field Service. The mission of this division was enlarged in 1956 to include the design, standardization, and manufacture of all ammunition equipment for the entire United States ordnance system. This included designing equipment to maintain, renovate, modify, and demilitarize all types of In 1959, this Field Service was redesignated the ammunition.
