Ludwig, who made his vast fortune in shipping, mining and real estate, did not fail for lack of trying. In vast stretches of virtually unpopulated jungle, he built a string of airstrips, thousands of miles of roads traveled by hundreds of cars and trucks, a private railway to haul freight, a deep-water port, a hospital, a school and a giant service depot stocked with spare parts and equipment.

About half of the compressors used to propel gas through the pipeline are of U.S. design, and all of the 125 turbines driving them will be built by European firms under license from General Electric. In addition, the Soviets have decided to buy the equipment that will haul and lay the heavy sections of 56-inch pipe from the Caterpillar Tractor...
