Steel manufacture, Allegheny-Ludlum. A rigid schedule, though they don't cover much ground. These men operate a locomotive inside the plant grounds, hauling scrap and other ingredients to the open hearth and electric furnaces for melting and refining

Steel manufacture, Allegheny-Ludlum. Back into production go these carloads of scrap metal. The melting of alloy steels for defense work requires that steel mill scrapyards such as this be constantly filled. The overhead magnet deposits the scrap in a loader which carries it to the open hearth furnace. About fifty percent of scrap steel is used in open hearth production

Steel alloy manufacture. Allegheny Ludlum Steel Corporation, Brackenridge, Pennsylvania. Open hearth steel is also made at this plant. Here a worker sits at the controls of the charging mechanism for loading materials and elements into the furnace. This open hearth furnace has a capacity of about 100 tons per heat

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. Stocks of partially completed lengths of seamless copper tube in many sizes. These have still to go through several more draws through dies on drawbenches. Each draw reduces them in diameter and wall thickness, and lengthens them out. Then, before the tubes leaves the mill, the ends will be sawed off straight and clean. Chase Copper and Brass Company, Euclid, Ohio

Steel manufacture, Allegheny-Ludlum. This doesn't look very impressive, just a pile of rock. Well, that's what it is, a pile of limesone, but since limestone is the main ingredient for the refining of high quality steels, heaps of rock such as these mighty important factors in the maintenance of defense production
