Finishing-up the briquetting plant

Work continued today on the briquetting plant for my copper smelter module.  I am ready for the arrival of an order of styrene C-channel and I-beam to begin construction of the 18" trestle which connected the doors on the upper floor to the adjacent cupola furnace.
There 1ill be 18" gauge push car tracks going into the two large doors on the lower level of the building through which fine copper ore was delivered to the building for briquetting. Briquettes were then taken out of the building by way of the two doors on the upper floor by way of another 18" push car system which crossed a trestle into the cupola furnace building, which was located adjacent to the left.
The strange contraption protruding from the building to the right housed yet another 18" gauge push car line which brought minerals used in the briquetting process from the mineral house to which it connected.
