Why Not Lower Production Costs?
The Grand Rapids Vapor Kiln now offers an
independent power unit, designed to attach
to the ordinary transfer car by rigid links, so
as to move the transfer car either forward or
backward, or to draw the loaded kiln cars on
or off the transfer. Its power is generated in
either a gasoline engine or electric motor. It
cuts down manufacturing costs by one man
handling the hazardous work of from 6 to 8
men.
