P A total of 53.07 tons of metal was discharged at an aver %e of %2% of the goal concentration, Approximately 3& tons of metal wero dis- charged at an average of 1165 of the goal concent,Fation, The operating efficiency was 87,s. The operating levels were 275 I4R It E, 305 MW at D and F, and 330 Kfl at h‘ pile at month end. A total of 86 tons of acceptable slugs was canned at a yield of 93.9%. This is the bighest yield ever attained for one monthts poduction. The machinhg yield was 76.0% The Melt Plant produced 19 tons of billets at a yield of 66,6$.

The backlog of work of the Electronics Shop and the Machine Shop in the 3717 Building has reached an ell tine low.- This is due to failure of forecasted work to materialize in accordance with mid-year 1949 estimate. The new and repair instrument work load in the 234-5 Building has been of such magnitude to date as to preclude routine and preventive main- tenance work. Th3 Transportation Division exhibited a high degree of organization and competence Fn dealing with the unprecedented transportation problems effected by the recent inclement weather. & The recent 12” raw water maln break in the 200-East Area emphqsiaes the need for retaining an inventory of insurance itens which 83not normally classified as spare parts.
