General Electric had opened a plant at the Port of Tacoma about 1973 to manufacture insulation for pipe at Alaska's Prudhoe Bay. The plant employed about 200 people and would be expanding its insulation production to fit tankers in 1977. General Electric had moved its Thermal Systems division headquarters to Tacoma from Houston earlier in 1975. Color photograph ordered by General Electric. (TNT 9-26-76, C-14-article)
