DESCRIPTION |
THE PLANT - The photographs of Quarry No.
5 (see pictures labeled C10072, C10073, C10074, C10075) show the quarry in
its early stages when much of the quarrying activity seems to be external
in nature. In this picture, approximately 1 1/2 years later, the
quarrying has gone internal with long tunnels for bringing out the
limestone. In the distance (middle right) the chimneys of the Atlas
Portland Cement Plant can be seen, smoke billowing. |
