Electric transmission is used satisfactorily and flexible connecting 
shaits have proven very successful. The raw materials are dried in a 
rotary dryer. The capacity of the plant is about 500 barrels per day. 
The southeastern part of Ohio offers a good field for the establish- 
ment of cement plants, owing to the cheap raw materials and especially 
cheap coal, together with good shipping facilities. It is a field which 
is bound to be more and more developed as the confidence in the cheap- 
ness of the dry process increases, and it is more fully realized that dry 
grinding produces a cement equally as good as the marl cements made 
by the slurry process.
