== View-Master Factory Supply Well ==
The View-Master Factory Supply Well is a historical site located in Portland, Oregon, United States. It was an integral part of the View-Master production process, providing essential water supply for the factory operations.
History[edit | edit source]
The View-Master Factory Supply Well was established in the mid-20th century to support the manufacturing needs of the View-Master, a popular stereoscopic viewer. The factory, originally operated by Sawyer's, required a reliable water source for various industrial processes, including cooling and cleaning.
Construction[edit | edit source]
The well was drilled to a significant depth to access a stable and clean water supply. The construction involved advanced drilling techniques of the time and was overseen by engineers specialized in industrial water systems. The well's infrastructure included a pump system and storage tanks to ensure a consistent water flow to the factory.
Role in View-Master Production[edit | edit source]
Water from the supply well was crucial for the production of the View-Master reels. It was used in the cooling systems of the machinery that produced the reels and in the cleaning processes to maintain the quality of the final product. The well's reliable water supply contributed to the efficiency and success of the View-Master production line.
Decommissioning[edit | edit source]
With the decline in demand for View-Master products and advancements in manufacturing technology, the factory and its supply well were eventually decommissioned. The site remains a point of historical interest, reflecting the industrial heritage of Portland.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
The View-Master Factory Supply Well is remembered as a key component in the production of one of the most iconic toys of the 20th century. It stands as a testament to the industrial ingenuity and the importance of reliable resources in manufacturing.
