You had to watch out for these – they had a habit of sneaking up on you when you were crossing the floor!As Vic Nicholas advised after a mistake in the original commentary: “That is an ingot coming out of the Salem Bloom furnace it would be going direct to the 42″ breakdown mill (Cogging) before it goes to be either reheated or skidded direct to the mill. Can’t roll anything direct from the bloom furnace it’s just to big”.
