Along the No. 20 Line: "We're entering the heart of the industrial zone. There are small iron and brass casting foundries, a factory making wire cable, and shops making pumps, mining equipment and logging gear. They're scattered in old buildings made of wood and brick and in more recent ones os concrete and rusty tin sheeting." (p.20-21)
"Mainland Foundry at the foot of Commercial Drive is a hulking shed of blackened wood and corrugated iron. Stacks of moulding forms and charred carrying trays spill out over the sidewalk. On the way home from school you can peep into the dark cavernous interior." (p.21)
