Representing a new era in industrial architecture is this giant dome-structure at Wood River, III., which serves as a regional tank car repair plant for the Union Tank Car Company. Big enough to enclose a football field or a baseball park, the all-steel Dome has a diameter of 380 feet and rises to a height of 120 feet - as high as a 10-story building. Along with a similar dome that Union Tank Car has built at Baton Rouge, La., the Wood River plant is the largest cicular building in the world without internal supports. |
