Today the protective paint was started to be applied to the cleaned salt pan removed from Pan House 5.This is the undercoat after which two top coats of a zinc paint will be applied.
You can see that the side end plate at the stove end of the pan dates to its earliest phase when the plates were still being riveted to the angle iron which attaches the side plates to the bottom plates (left). The images upper right shows that the side plates are welded
The lifting rings, which enabled the pan to be lifted using a jigger arm are also welded to the side of the pan. The detail (bottom right) shows the rivets joining the end plates, again at the stove end of the salt pan.
