All plants are the same to Kahn when he sets his 450 achitects and engineers to work. They turned out 1,650 draw-ings in seven months when the navy wanted Kahn to handle construction drawings for the new naval bases in the Pacific and Atlantic. They put up a plant, of 440,000 square feet floor space in 11 weeks for the Klenn L. Martin company at Baltimore, which is an unchallenged record for steel and concrete construction.
