works of Reynolds Metals Co. at Gregory, San Patricio County. The alumina
was further reduced to metal at the Reynolds reduction plant in San Patricio
County and at reduction plants of Alcoa in Calhoun and Milam Counties. 
 A total of 117 large heat exchangers was installed at the Sherwin works
of Rey 
 
nolds. The company also installed the largest rotary kiln in the alumina
industry which would remove moisture from more than 2 million pounds of alumina
per day. Alcoa was adding a seventh potline to its Rockdale reduction plant
which would increase metal capacity from 175,000 tons to approximately 225,000
tons per year.
