Rolling Out a Sheet of Steel
Légende
This early 1900s photo shows an Inland Steel company worker rolling out a sheet of steel. The company's business was reducing iron ore to steel. Its only steel mill was located in East Chicago, Indiana, on the Indiana Harbor and Ship Canal and a large landfill protruding out into Lake Michigan. Here, sheet bars are loaded into heating furnaces to be brought up to required heat for rolling. When ready, the roller catches the sheet in his tongs and thrusts it between the rolls of his mill. Another worker catches it with tongs and passes it back, and thus it is shot back and forth until it is squeezed into a thin long sheet.
