- Review my first French journey-Le Creusot 1979
|
|
|
In October 1978, the Qixiashan fertilizer
start produce only two days, its main equipment--A turbo-compressor
with 27,000 horsepower and 11,000 r.p.m took place a serious
accident, its turbine's blade was damaged, the plant has
to stop produce. After repaired, it still continuously took
place same accident, caused enormous losses. This is my
most difficult professional career as its director. Through
arduous negotiations, French Heurtey co. and Group Creusot-Loire's
specialists admitted it is a designed error and promise
to devise and compensate for a new rotator. Under the background
I was appointed to lead a group with 5 persons, go to the
Creusot for checkout the making rotor from Nov.27,1997 to
Feb.28,1980 for 3 months.
|
|
The French
specialists are checking the damaged rotor (1978), They
also puzzled their brains for the equipment |

We go through Paris, Lyon arrived the Le
Creusot. It is a little city. The plant of groupe Creusot-Loire
just is there. The plant is a French famous steel and manufacturing
base for large locomotive, submarine, nucleus power and
hydropower station....it was built in 1782, it possess important
position in French heavy industry and war industry. Because
I don't understand the French and the time passed too long,
so I don't know its real address, I only remember it is
between Dijun and Lyon. Fortunately I make detail diary
in that period, I found out the book that has been lied
idle for many years. Look over every pages, at last found
some information about address: "Groupe Creusot-Loire
Etablissements Du Creusot 71200 Le Creusot"

The address
of the plant and some French friends: The director:
Charnet; Chief engneer: Pouviet; Engineer: Martin; Workers:
Eyssartier, Gouyer, Gilot, Gautron.... |
|
I start to find the Le Creusot
city from the satellite map step by step. The red mark just
is the city |
|
The red mark just
is the Le Creusot city. Paris is in its north, Dijun
is in its east, the Lyon is in its south.
|
|
Follow I enlarged the scale of
the map, I found the street map, I find the city also is not
too little. The streets is very many, it is very difficult to
find out the plant. |
|
|
|
|
In order to find the plant,I remember
an album about the history of the plant that is presented by
Mr.Charnet |
|

I have found some images with address,
example Rue de l'Eglise, Rue d'Autun, MONTCENIS .... then I
found them from the map. At last I found the "MONTCENIS"
and those street(Below) |
|
|
Montcenis is in most
west of the image, Rue D'Autun is in its north
|
|
In order to find the position of the Creusot
plant,I use the search engine to search the "Creusot"
and got many results, unfortunately, one is many web site
cannot be opened fast, other one is French site. But I still
found some information. First is a news in 1984 from "The
New York Times"
|
|
But I don't feel suddenness about
this kind of news, now I need to know that the plant's name
and real address. I continuous search, at last I found some
useful information |
|
|
This is plant's address:
56 Rue Clemenceau (See
here)
|
The plant's name
seems to have been changed into "industeel France"
(See
here)
|
|
This is a news in
2001,the plant's name also is "industeel France"
(See
here)
|
|
|
|
|
According these information, I decide to find
the "Rue Clemenceau" first, in order to speedily
get a result, I open the "Google
Map", first found the "Le Creusot", then
fill in "Rue Clemenceau" in left side to search,
a number of results appeared, first "A" just is
that I need
|
|
Oh, the "long friend"

images I can get from these web sites. |

"Creusot
Forge"! It made me to recall many past things.
Right image is a forge press for 100 tons, It was
made in 1876 and taken
it as a great honour by Creusot's people. Its total
weight is 1300 tons, high 21 meter, only the forge
hammer weight just is 555 tons. It is most advanced
forge press in that time. A old worker Eyssartier
introduce it for me: It can put a bottle plug into
the bottle but not for moment damage the bottle; open
a walnut but not crush the sarcocarp !
Le Creusot! More twenty years passed,
it got me too much memory and think. I will spend
more time to look for these place I remember, Hotel
Moderne Le Creusot I stayed, CM3 workshop I worked,
and many French friends' family we visited (From the
director to workers)...... I hope the resolution ratio
will raise further, so that I can look over them clearly,
I will can review the unforgettable old haunt over
a great distance.....

Thanks a lot for the theoretician,
research fellow, designer, engineer... who invented and created
these new technology, they through thick and thin to explore,
failure, study, Create, make us to enjoy these great results.
We will remember them, thank them forever. We should also thank
those workers, peasants and all common laborers who excavated
coal, produced steel and tilled grain on their low-income level
(especially Chinese peasants, their income per capita in 2005
is only 3255 Yuan RMB -is about 407 U.S.Dollar, See
a official communique in 2005). Their labour is a base of
the subsist and development of the society and science. I wish
the harmonious society, harmonious world will become reality
at last, these great science and technology will better serve
humanity! |
