AN AIR CONDITIONING AIRLIFT

ILLUSTRATION: PHOTO:  WAYNE DEEL THE ROANOKE TIMES. A HELICOPTER begins 
          placing 60 air-conditioning and exhaust units on the roof of the 
          Dynax America Corp. plant in Botetourt County on Friday. The 
          contractor said it was easier to use a helicopter than a traditional
          crane because of the size of the 150,000-square-foot factory. The 
          auto parts maker is scheduled to move into the building in June and 
          to begin production in March 1998. The plant will make wet friction 
          clutch plates for transmissions. The company plans to hire 50 
          employees by the end of this year and 300 workers by 2000.
