TIME IS MONEY

THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING is the most famous of New York's skyscrapers, but few people know it __________ (build) in just 410 days and it __________1 (finish) before the completion date. The method of construction was like a very efficient modern factory today. Building materials __________2 (deliver) 'just-in-time' and a small railway __________3 (construct) on each floor to transport the materials to the area where they __________4 (need). Another way in which time __________5 (save) during construction was to have restaurants for the workers in the building. As more floors __________6 (build), more restaurants __________7 (open), first on the 3rd floor, then on the 9th, then another on the 24th, then the 47th and finally, the last one on the 64th floor. The food in the restaurants was cheap and very good quality. Since the Empire State Building __________8 (complete) in 1931, nobody has constructed a building with the same speed and efficiency. Perhaps the secret was the good food!
