Largest of its kinds, the facility pumps fuel into the shins of the Atlantic fleet seven days wook. 21 hours a day. Naturally Thrifty Supply officers at the Norfolk naval base.

Mac will not buy new equipment old or improvised gear will do the "Its just natural thriftiness." he says in the burr he brought from his native Glasgow 10 ago. "I don't to see stuff wasted. that's all." Three months ago Mac learned 185-foot bridge on Crancy had rotted. .1 new bridge would cost $25.000.

Mac assembled a handful of his 250 civilian workers. They tore down the bridge, drove piles to support two concrete culverts and filled in the appronches with dirt. The Navy wanted to add a wing a building but a 600-ton water tank stood squarely in the way. Mac didn't of a contractor. He called in a group call his men, told them what to do, then floated the tank through a shallow channel to a position 700 distant.

"Three men pushed it by hand to new position." Mac grins. Scrounged Pumps Several pumps in the vast network of storage tanks and pipelines are ballast pumps removed from merchant ships in the first World War. Three years ago Mac needed booster feed pump. But he winched at. the $8000 price tag.

He scouted around and found in a Norfolk technical school a pump used many years As a demonstration piece. "I got for $25," Mac recalls. Cranvy has its own water-filtering plant, built entirely of salvage materials. Every item in the carpenter shop was obtained from salvage. In the machine shop only two pieces equipment--a lathe and 3.

were bought. Everything else came from salvage. Craney's 30 miles of pipelines, mostly underground. run from the huge tanks to five piers where a ship can be fueled at the rate of 10.000 barrels per hour. The larger piers accommodate the largest battleships land aircraft carriers.

Most of Craney's customers, however, are tankers. Big Layont Craney's tanks hold 105,000.000 gallons of fuel. oil. 18.480.000 gallons Diesel oil and 2.520.000 gallons of gasoline. The Navy is readying an expansion program which will increase the present capacity by 10 per cent.

Craney Island is not an island any more since Navy built a causeway linking the sprawling place to the mainland just outside of Portsmouth. But MacKechnie's face lights with proprietary pride as he tells a visitor Craney has 14 miles of roads. seven miles of railroad track and 200 goats which keep the grass mowed without expense.

Diodel Tank Farm One installation of which Mac is is particularly proud is a working model of a tank farm. built entirely of salvage materials by his men in their spare time.

To this model tank farm come Army. Navy. Air Force and Coast Guard personnel and selected from all over the country to study petroleum operations. The gray foreman enjoys telling about the big job Craney did in Worid War Il. months we handled 88,000 tank" barrels of oil." Mac SayS.
