It includes anvils, belts, blow- ers, bed boxes, drop hanger boxes, pedes- tal boxes, post boxes, bricks, boiler, buck- ets, bushings', concrete carts, conveyor chain, concrete chuting, flue cleaner, com- pressors, worm conveyors, stone crush- ers, derricks, elevators, engines, exhausters, gauges, reduction gears, hoppers, suction hose, motors, pipe, pulleys, presses, pumps, pyrometers, pressure recorder, shafting, tanks, thermometers, valves, and a host of other things. There are two ways you can save money with this list. One way is to use it when- ever you are in need of anything. If you find it listed you can have it transferred to your department at a substantial saving over new material. The other way is to list anything which you have on hand and cannot use.
