Permanente's First Anniversary, Permanente Metals, Bill Gorman. A crowd of employees and their families watch James Condos, a caster at the plant, demonstrate pouring molten aluminum from a large ladle into a form for pig aluminum. More than 1,500 visitors crowded into the plant October 27, 1948, to celebrate the plant's first year of operation under Kaiser. They saw the step-by-step processes that went into making aluminum by touring the potrooms, rectifier stations, the machine shop, blacksmith shop and the casting room. (T.Times, 10/18, 1948, -.1)
