through 13). The plant includes a component preparation area
100, subsection fabrication areas 200, 300, 400 and 500, a
final assembly site 600, overhead cranes OC for transporting
elements from the component preparation area to the various
subsection fabrication areas and then to the final assembly
site, a concrete floor pouring station 800, a concrete curing
station 810, a finishing area 900 composed of a variety of
finishing stations 905-950, and transport means (e.g.,
casters) for sequentially moving the final assembly to the
concrete floor pouring station, the curing station and the
finishing stations.

the Chief Industries brochures which are cited for their
disclosures of knock-down building structures.
