the last eighteen months.
Now for tho future. The yard Is
starting oft with a thoroughly modern

leno welding Is used In practically every
operation where old fashioned methods
could' be replaced with now.
New buildings aro going up on every
hand. A new structural shop for the
shipyard Is nearlng completion. It is
a huge building of concrete, steel and.
glass COO feet long. Then there Is a
new galvanlelng plant, known us the
"gas nnd flame" plant, about 100 feet
long by 100 feet wide, of the same
modern type of construction. It will bo
used for electric and acetylene welding,
for galvanizing, "pickling" and polish
ing all very essential operations In
tho building and repair of snips.
A new smlthery Is being built ; a new
boat shop, for tho construction of small

No Drydock. (o Mntrli lt
Norfolk will have a drydock of like
Blze nnd capacity. But thcro wlll be no
other drydock In the wholo world to
match It. It would hold a boat 1030
feet long and, 11C feet wide If there
were a ship (hat size to float In through
its hugo water-gate. It goes down full
forty feet below water level.
The drydock Is so big that the greatest
ship In tho American navy could be
placed In It and there would be room for
another small craft
To make way for it required tho ex
cavation of GOO.000 cubic yards of earth.
This part of the Job Is finished. T6 build
tho dock Itself will require tho laying of
200,000 cubic yards of concrete nnd the
use of 7,000,000 o'r 8,000,000 pounds of
steel for re-enforcements. This part of
the work Is beginning nuv. It will take
two more years to complete.
When filled preparatory to floating a
ship Into It the dock will hold 3.500,
000,000 gallons of water. This will be
pumped out nfter a ship is In place by
thrco huge centrlfugnl pumps, so power
ful that they, could pump out at the
Bame time another drydock of the same
dimensions.
Tho bottom of the dock wilt be faced
with concrete twenty feet thick, partly
to serve as ballast. Otherwise tho dock
itself would float hecause of the upward
thrust of thd water outside.
Another Interesting featuie of the dock-
Is an arrangement by which the Immense
basin can be divided by a "caisson" door
placed two-thirds of the way from th
water end. This permits its uso by two
ships nt tho samo time. Either com
partment can be flooded or emptied
separately.
The Machinery DliKlon
The big constructive Jobs done by the
hull division are matched by the more
delicate but no less Important work done
by the machinery division under Captain
C. A. Carr.
When we got into We war this latter
division had 1800 employes. The total
Jumped as swiftly as tho men could be
trained for the work to 7000.
Tho hull division has to do with the
outsldes of tho ships, tho machinery di

densers, the thousand and one con
trivances that drive and direct and
operate the bhip.

The machinery division mad'o repairs,
big and little, to thirty-eight transports
and auxiliaries. They manufactured
bolters, Installed propelling machinery
fitted ships with the standard oll-burn-Ing
equipment They overhauled ma
chinery, rewound motors, put in bear

marines. They tuned up and generally
made shipshape mechanically twenty-six
submarine chasers and performed similar
services for various scout patrolbonts
All tho work was rush-order worK, es
pecially thnt on the transports. Tho big
ships that ferried troops across the sea
could spond little time at the repair
docks. So It was a matter of three
shifts a day( and in a pinch fheso shifts
overlapped, men working from twelve to
sixteen hours.
The great shops of the division took
care of every need thnt arose. Patterns

Navigation, wrote to Commander Penn
that "the bureau considers that your

brought Bu'cli high praiso to the' Navy
Department." The praise was from Sir
Eric Geddes, First Lord of the uriusn
Admiralty.
And a word about the spirit of the
thousands of workmen who mado pos
sible the yard's fine performance In the
war. When the I. "W. V. agitation was
at Its height they signed a pledge of
nllcglanco and sent It with a committee
of thirty of their fellows to Secretary
Daniels. He took the committee to meet
President Wilson, and the President was
so Impressed with the loyalty of the men
at the yard that he referred to their
patriotic pledge In his next communica

No Interruption Expected
The Philadelphia Navy Yard looks for
no interruption of Its activities because
of the cessation of the war. The air
craft factory, of course, has put the
brakes on production. But the great
building program outlined by the Navy
Department promises to keep every man
now employed nt the yard busy indef
initely. It Is even possible that next
