In operation since last March, chlorine-caustic facilities at Wyandotte's G-eismar Works near Baton Rouge, Louisiana, are being readied for full designed capacity (300 tons chlorine, 330 tons caustic daily). Construction has been completed except for build ing the additional cells · . . a job now under way by Wyandotte personnel, keeping apace of the Southern demand for chlorine. Liquid caustic soda, in 7 4 % concentration is now available, as well as 5 0 % liquor.

PLANT GEARING FOR FULL CAPACITY
Chlorine pipeline-loading facilities on the Mississippi River, completed in earZLy August, extend from storage tanks in the chlorine plant area to our dock at the river. This addition, together with our present caustic soda line, enables Wyandotte to ship both chlorine and caustic by barge and ocean tanker from the Geismar Works. The purchase for year-end delivery of two xiew river barges for transporting caustic soda will further enstirkW^andpt^e customers of ready water shipment.

Dock facilities at Wyandotte's Louisiana installation are engineered to accommodate the largest steamer that can navigate up the Mississippi River to the plant site. The 600-ft. dock can load efficiently when the river is at flood stage, as well as under normal conditions. RESEARCH PAPER DESCRIBES SYNTHESIS OF FERROCENES
Dr. Robert L. Sclhaaf of Wyandotte's contract research department presented a paper entitled, "Synthesis of Siloxanyl Ferrocenes," at the recent spring meeting of the American Chemical Society in Boston. Because of their high thermal stability, the liquid ferrocenes are of particular interest as potential lubricants for hightemperature applications. Inquiries concerning copies of this paper should be directed to the American Chemical Society.
