Pumps: Located on the western end of the floor are the<br />

motor/pump assemblies for oxygen lance, fume hood, and stack<br />

cooling. The cooling water facilities for furnace number one are<br />

laid out linearly on a north-south axis just south of the storage<br />

bins. They consist of two 60 hp Allis-Chalmers motors, each<br />

driving a 450 gpm Wilson-Snyder pump for lance cooling, and three<br />

250 hp Allis-Chalmers motors, each driving a 2700 gpm Wilson-<br />

Snyder pump for fume hood and stack cooling. The cooling water<br />

facilities for furnace number two are laid out linearly on a<br />

north-south axis just north of the storage bins and consist of<br />

the same equipment described for furnace number one.<br />

c. Motor/Winch Drum Assemblies for Oxygen Lance<br />

Hoisting Rigs: Located opposite each of the cooling water<br />

facilities described above along the eastern end of the floor are<br />

the motor/winch drum arrangements for the lance hoisting rigs at<br />

each furnace. Each arrangement consists of two 19 hp<br />

Westinghouse D.C. motors connected to a gear drive and a winch<br />

drum.<br />
