Description

Photograph of poured ingots at the Columbia Steel Corporation, ca.1925. To the left of center, a large vat made of steel emits a haze that may be smoke while a funnel lets out some sort of liquid substance into a smaller pot on the left. To the right of center, two large rectangular holes in the ground are filled with what appears to be metal rods. In the left foreground, the ground seems to be made of dirt and covered with embedded chains and refuse. Light streams in from the ceiling throughout the long building.; Photoprint reads: "Showing method of making bottom-poured Ingots. Steel is poured through a master mould and comes up through bottom of molds".
