You have a valid point. The first thought I had was as Rod's states, that it was a stress test to see what the plant was capable of producing, but.

If normal production of 2000 tons/day is based on an 8 hour day, then in theory, production should have been capable of nearing almost 6000 tons if it used a 24 hour cycle.

I guess the main question would be, what is considered a day? Would the plant be capable of sustaining such a level or was it just peddle to the metal to see if they could blow it up. Dragsters are driven full bore, but it's not unusual for them to be rebuilt before each heat. Doubt GE would want to do an overhaul every other day.

Biggest problem with "Good Ole Manitoba Gumbo" is you have to stop and scrap it off the shovel. You just can't shovel that chit.
