Interior view of the sugar processing plant with 3 of the large evaporators. Location: N.W. Waverly near 1st St. and 7th Ave. Sugar Beet Factory during WWII when converted to making corn syrup. Supt. C. L. [Les] Checketts, right, and Ralph Patzold, master mechanic posing beside them. The evaporators are used to remove the "water" from the beet juice in the early stages of the sugar-making process. In reconditioning these , they have been covered with Insulag, a hard drying insulation applied when wet, but with an expansion factor which keeps it from cracking under changes produced by heat.
