Communications Plant
THE Intematicinal Tel ephone and Tel egraph
Corporation's Kellogg communications divi-
sion plant at Corinth was mast er planned to build
at once facilities for the production r equirements
of the commuuications systems and developmental
work needed for anticipated needs for
ten years. Special flow diagrams were developed.
Orderly future expansion on the plot is to rear
of the building. Simple dignified design was to
be a coroprate image-type of structnre.

Air conditioning was necessar y for the comfort
of production workers, and special humidity con-
trol was needed in the coil winding processing
and transmitter, receiving and network areas.
Dne to the diver sity of proce ses nece sary in the
building approximately 85 percent of t he build-
ing is ailr conditioned. Areas, such as molding
area, carbon and heat treat, painting, plating, a
well as shipping and r eceiving, are ventilated
with air volume movement complete approxi-
mately ever y six minutes.
General offices for thi division, inc1uding pro-
duction and quality contl"Ol, industrial engineer-
ing, product engineering, and purchasing and ac-
counting were criteria r equirements with a 30
petcent expansion desired in this area. This ex-
pansion already has taken place. Exhibition of
products was requited in the reception lobby.
Due to changes in production and addition of
new product lines, plans been developed
for an additional 60,000 square f eet.
Special mechanical and el ectrical needs for
equipment were anal yzed in conjunction with
equipment plauned, which had been developed
by the company, and careful studies were made
correlating conveyors, air conditioning, com-
pressed air, water , sprinklels, gas, et cetera. Spe-
cial epoxy floors were developed for the plating
areas.

Conversion of the old Times Tower, at 42nd
Street & Broadway, into Allied Chemical's
showcase for chemical products, has provided
on eye-catching spectacle for millions of pass-
ersby. The bore steel skeleton stands just as
it did in 1904, when the tower was built.
Completion of the Allied Chemical Tower is
scheduled for summer , 1965 . The completely
renovoted building will feature a three-story
exhibit hall on its lower floors and a two-
story restaurant an the 15th und 16th floors.

The Name's The Same,
But The Face Has Changed
3
THE more than 16 milli on out-of-t owners who
are expected to revisit New York Cit y duri ng
the Worl d's Fair years will find it a fam-
ili ar but different place than it was during
Fair.
Approximately 70 milli on persons are expected
to visit the upcoming Fair during its two Ap ril -to-
October seasons and many of them will not have
vi sited the city since 1940.
From Times Square outward, the face of the cit y
will have changed and most visitors will be imme-
di ately aware of the differences.
Changing the cit y has been costl y, however. More
than six and a quarter billi on doll ars have been
spent 0 11 residenti al and non-residential constr uc-
ti on in New York Cit y since 1946. In 1962 alone,
$714,022,000 was spent for constructi on of new
buildings.
" Times Square itself will be strikingly different ,"
says Lehman J. Hostetl er , who is responsible for
one of the maj or changes. Mr. Hostetler's j ob is to
direct the conversion of the old Times Tower , fr om
which Times Square ori ginall y drew its name, into
Alli ed Chemi cal' s Showcase for Chemi stry.
" Vi sitors to Times Square during 1964 will be
able to watch the new Allied Chemical Tower being
created ri ght over the steel framework of the exist-
ing building. By the time the World's Fair reopens
in 1<.>65 the tower will be one of the brightest li ghts
on the ' Gay White Way,''' says Mr. Hostetler.

of the heart of the nati on's capitaL Spread befor e
them to the east will be the Marine Corps Memo-
ri al, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monu-
ment, and the dome of the Capi tol Building_
The steel framework of the Prospect House takes shope on
an Arlington, Va . hillside, commanding a dramatic view of
the heart of the nation's capital. Designed by architect Donald
Hudson Drayer, AlA, the structure will be the nation's only
high-rise, split-level apartment building.
A uni que, split- level apartment layout and 12-ft.-
square pi cture windows, open the view side of the
building to the morning sun and to the inspiring
scene fr om a hill side 175 ft. above the Potomac
River, on the western axis of the MaiL The sloping,
wooded site, once the home of General Patton,
includes two cit y blocks between Nash and Oak
Streets in Arlington.
To take adva ntage of the potential of the site,
architect Donald Hudson Drayer , AlA, of Wash-
ington, arranged the apartments so tha t as man y
as possibl e would face the ri ver and cit y below.
A typi cal center- corridor plan was discarded, as it
would have divided the units equall y between good
and poor views. Drayer also decided against the
use of conventional eight-ft. ceilings, considering
them inadequate to properl y di splay the view.
A "skip-split" desi gn evolved, all owing two levels
4
o f living rooms to three levels of dining, cookin g
a nd sleeping a reas. Thi s permitted every li ving
room to have a 13 fL. , story-a nd-a-ha lf ceili ng.
On alternate fl oo rs, one a nd two-bed room units
ei ther have all thei r rooms on one level, or they
have a mezzanine on which dining room, kitchen,
bedrooms and other spaces a re located. These units
extend the full width of the bu il din g. Effic iency
apartments, on every third fl oor, extend half thi s
width , and face the rea r. The bui ld ing cont ains a
total of 26B apartments.

FOR CHILDREN
A
COM PLEX set of problems created by the need for a
surfacing material to withstand extraordinary ab use
yet able to lend warm color and pleasant surroundings was
solved with modern ceramic tile, according to architects,
Supowitz and Demchick.
The Philadelphia-based firm designed the Irving Sch-
wartz Institute for Children and Youth speci fying tile for
play and activities areas of the child study center.
Ceramic til e's intrinsic qualities answered both the de-
mand for a sturd y, easil y cleaned material and a pleasing
and attractive atmosphere for the chil dren, The Mosaic
Til e Company, desi gners and manufacturers of the til e,
pointed out.
Large ti le murals are used extensively throughout the
building, most of them kept at eye level for the youngsters'
enjoyment.
In the playroom of the entrance level a la rge til e mural
uses a carousel as the theme. Vividness of color and com-
position gives an apparent swirl and mot ion of realit y.
Another full wall mural depicts life-size figu res of ch ildren
parti cipating in va ri ous at hl etic games. Here, too, motion,
movement and balance have been obtai ned, Mosa ic said.
Corridors leadi ng to the classrooms are faced with til e
motives in various colors with subj ects of interest to vari -
ous age groups fusing with the surrounding background
colors. The Institute concentrates on child study of three
age groups. Each group has its own act ivity and play
areas.
The entrance fl oor of the split level st ructure leads to a
parents' visiting area, a canteen and octagonal playroom
with domed cei ling wh ich extends above the roof. The
playroom extends out to its own garden area.

PAVILION OF SPAIN
An Exercise In Architectural Collaboration
T
HE Pavilion of Spain, largest official structure
of a foreign nation in the international area of
the New York World's Fair, represents an out-
standing example of successful collaborative efforts
between European and American architects whose
mission was to bring about a distinctive building
under the demands of a rigorous and widely pub-
licized construction deadline.
The basic design by Architect Javier Carvaj al
of Madrid was the winning scheme in a national
architectural competition conducted by the Covern-
ment of Spain when it decided to participate in
the Fair. In May 1963, Kelly & Cruzen, architects
of New York was given the responsibility to trans-
form the original schematic design into detailed
drawings so that the requirements of American
construction techniques could be met; and also to
coordinate and supervise the accelerated construc-
6
tion program. Civen less than a calendar year to
produce so complex and intricate a building, in-
volving an extensive amount of materials and goods
coming from Spain, proved to be a formidable
challenge to all technicians and craftsmen and
manufacturers involved.
Since the principal feature of the Pavilion's ex-
terior is the use of a steel frame with pre-cast con-
crete wall panels, Kelly & Cruzen was faced with
the immediate challenge of turning out working
drawings early enough to allow for steel fabrication
and erection as well as for fabrication of the panels
so that the building could be enclosed as soon as
possible.
More than 20,000 square feet of exterior wall
are covered with the pre-cast panels which were
cast in double widths and brought to the job for
erection.

In addition, Kelly & Cruzen assigned a staff of
designers and detailers to work out every feature
and item for the complex interior treatment. This
involved preparing plans for the fabri cation and
installation of a wide variety of exhibit displays;
selecting and dimensioning materials coming from
Spain, such as the Flemish pine wood blocks for
the ceilings and the floor tile, as well as those to
be supplied or manufactured here. Another major
problem was the coordination of the unique light-
ing system devised for the displays, developed by
an American manufacturer under severe time limi-
tations. With the original design dimensioned in
the metric system which had to be converted, and
with the modifications which were being made con-
tinuously as work progressed, the final result re-
flects a high calibre of cooperation between many
facets of the construction industry.
It was not until mid-January of 1964 that the
80,000 square foot structure was completely en-
closed, leaving approximately three months for the
complete execution, fabrication and furnishing of
the interior with its diverse art and commercial
displays, courtyards with major works by contem-
porary Spanish artists; and such facilities as two
large restaurants, an BOO-seat theater with bar-
lounge, and the spacious connecting lounge between
the two wings of the Pavilion.

sented a unique chall enge to architects William W_
Bond, Jr. and Associates, Memphis, Tennessee and
Interi or Des igner Charl es Hall of Washington,
D_C.
Acco rding to Baltimore architects Bacharack,
& Bacha rack, associate architects, the unique con-
cept of a r otating ring was chosen in order to
prov ide the utmost in dining pl eas ure and enj oy-
ment.
The entire dining a rea, whi ch accommodates 234
persons, is a platform which revolves slowl y and
smoothl y at a speed of one revoluti on per houL
The kitchen and service facilit y r emains sta-
ti onary_ To provide maximum efficiency, a special
screened promenade has been erected aroun d thi s
kitchen core so that waitresses can serve La Ronde's
go urmet di shes with a minimum number of steps
within the dining area_
Simil ar attenti on and care has been lavi shed on
the elegant decor of the restaurant. The wood-
pl atformed turntabl e is carpeted in a lush, multi-
colored fabric, and the r ich opul ence of gold is
reRected in upholstered chairs, tabl ecloths and deli-
cate chine of bl ack, coin gold and white_ Contrast-
ing colors of pink, logenberr y, coral and orange
provide exci ting accents. Because its ever-changing
view of Baltimore is the focal point of the r estau-
rant, the magnifi cent picture windows are not
fr amed by draperi es.
La Ronde mi ght well be compa red to a circular
art gall ery-its windows are its paintings, and the
sub j ect ma tter changes constantl y.
Designed and manufactured by Macton Machin-
ery Company, Inc., Stamford, Connecti cut , the
doughnut-shaped dining area has an outside dia-
meter of 84 feet and an inside diameter of 58 feet.
As it travels at the rate of one revoluti on per hour,
the movement is so smooth and gradual that diners
will undoubtedl y be unaware that they are moving
except for the ever- changing pi ct ure- window vi ew.
Powered by a one h. p. motor , the turntabl e is
fri cti on-driven (an operati on that is simil ar to that
of a phonograph turntabl e). It can be stopped or
sta rted by a simpl e pushbutton.
Acco rding to D. Bruce J ohnston, president of
Macton Machiner y Company, Inc., the unique new
9
revolving restaurant atop Holi day Inn in Baltimore
has already generated much excitement. Phill ips
Petroleum Company's 16-story Pier 66 Tower in
Fort Lauder dale, Florida will feature a revolving
restaurant on the top Roor. Appropriately 66-feet
in outside di ameter wi th a 37-foot inside diameter,
the Macton-designed rotating platform will be in
operati on when the building is completed in the
Spring of 1965. The Pi er 66 T o w ~ r represents a
maj or expansion of the currentl y popul ar Pier 66
Motel. Mr. Johnston also revealed that several other
r evolving restaurants are in the design and planning
stages.
Macton has parti cipated in many other exciting
developments since the company was established
in 1C)Lt7. Currentl y, more than 20 leading pavi li ons
and exhibits at the New York Worl d's Fair rely
on Macton turntables to transport people and/ or
display products. These incl ude the Electric Power
and Li ght exhibit, Festi val of Gas, Clairol, Grey-
hound, RCA, Ford Motor Company and the mag-
nifi cent Astral fountain.
Other Macton " firsts" incl ude the design and
manufacture of a portabl e turntable. Trademarked
Port-A-Fold, it has been successfull y " test- dr iven"
by one of the countr y's leadinO' automobi le manu-
facturers. Advantages of thi s new design include
eliminati on of costl y and time-cons uming. a sembly

Theatre-goers in Dall as and other parts of the
countr y have watched a drama unfold on an excit-

T
il E: first elementar y school in Lake Havasu City,
Arizona will be ready to accept students when
the fall semester begins in September, according
to Fred Sch umacher, executi ve director of Lake
Havasu Cit y and vice-president of McCull och Prop-
er ti es, J nco
low under constructi on on a 10-acre site, the
new school wi ll have five a ir conditi oned class-
rooms, a uditorium and ca feteria, library, and ad-
mill ist rative offi ces when compl eted.
Expected attendance has ri sen to over 120 pupils,
more than double the original es timate.
" Two facto rs acco unt for the increase in a nti ci
pated enrollment." Schumacher said. " First, the
ear ly openi ng of McCull och Corporation's new
Lake Havasu Cit y Division plant will bring in the
ch ildren of employees, and secondl y, res idential
populati on of the cit y is growing more rapidly
than had been foreseen. "
Master-planned for a population of 50,000 within
20 yea rs, Lake Havas u City is a 26-sq-mile indus-
trial-recreational communit y being developed b y
McCull och Properties, ]nc., on the shores of Lake
Havas u between California and Arizona, 235 air
mil es east of Los Angel es.
The new school was desi gned b y the architec-
10
tural and design division of McCulloch Properti es,
Inc. under the directi on of Robert Brown.
All streets adj oin ing the school are desi gned to
keep traffi c at a slow speed in order to safeguard
walking youngsters.
C. V_ Wood, executi ve vice-president of McCul-
loch Properties, Inc. , and director of the city's
master plan, said all aspects of development a re
ahead of schedule.
Arnold Plaza Shopping Center is schedul ed to
