Summary

Significance: Although the Shell Interlocking Tower no longer contains its original interlocking equipment, it is architecturally significant as representative of the type of structure built by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad during the first decade of the twentieth century. The tower is significant for its association with an important period in the development of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, and for its original embodiment of state of the art architectural design and electrical engineering technology.

Conversion. Beverage containers to aviation oxygen cylinders. The first step in the manufacture of high-altitude-flying shatterproof oxygen cylinders in the metal department of a large rubber factory is the forming or stamping of the shell. Stainless steel sheets are blanked or cut into discs(left foreground). Before stamping, these discs are drawn through rolls where a drawing compound is added to both sides to facilitate the forming of the shell. The 750-ton toggle press, shown above, forms a half cylinder in one powerful stroke. Once the half cylinder is formed, it is trimmed and the value-fitting hole is punched into the spherical dome. A cleaning operation later removes the drawing compound. The cylinder halves are now ready for the various welding operations. Firestone, Akron, Ohio
