3. Engineering, production control, service and maintenance organi- 

 zations were located close to actual production and had no assignments 

 other than the project. 



4. The small plant, due to its semi-isolation, tends to produce a \'ery 

 closely knit organization and good teamwork. 



A large number of manufacturing locations were examined and the 

 one selected was a one-story modern structure in Hillside, New Jersey, 

 which provided a gross area of 43,700 square feet. 



The entire plant was air conditioned; in most cases, the temperature was 

 controlled to minimum 73 degrees F, maximum 77 degrees F. The air was 

 filtered through two mechanical and one electrostatic filters. Relative 

 humidity was maintained at maximum 40 per cent in all but one area — 

 the capacitor winding room — in which it was necessary to maintain 

 maximum 20 per cent humidity to avoid mechanical difficulty with 

 capacitor paper. While most of the air was recirculated, the air from the 

 cafeteria, cleaning room, locker and toilet rooms was exhausted to the
