| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | Established in 1907 with a capital of $50.000, this boiler and metal working plant has made rapid strides and to-day stands in the first rank in their line in British Columbia. The officers of the Company are J. A. Cunningham, president, John R. Duncan, Managing Director and Secretary, W. L. Johnson, Vice-President. In the latter part of 1917, the main plant of the firm was moved from New Westminster, where they occupied waterfront premises, to a site on
Granville Island, Vancouver, covering an area of about two acres. The slogan of the firm is "anything in steel", the main products of the plant being Boilers of Return Tubular and Scotch Marine type, stationary, horizontal and vertical; mine cars, castings, logging engines, forgings, penstocks, riveted pipe, heaters, pulp-mill equipment, all classes of steel plate work. The average number of employees is 65, and the new location and increased facilities of this firm are causing them to seek outlets in overseas markets, in addition to their considerable British Columbia business.
The equipment of the plant includes 200 ton hydraulic presses and 12 feet 6 inch, gap rivetters, 18 feet bending rolls for one and a half inch plates, plate planer, punches,, shears, cranes, etc. Air equipment and electric power are
used exclusively. The firm manufactured and installed the penstocks at Lake Buntzen power station of the B. C Electric Railway Company, which are 8 feet 6 inches diameter and one and one-eighth inch thick. 1200 tons of steel was used in this work, and the company also supplied and erected the penstocks for the Powell River Paper Co.'s works, using 3,000 tons of steel. |
