  • Description
  • In 1953 a major expansion project to increase steel production at Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation’s Aliquippa Works was undertaken. A new 44-inch blooming mill and its drive were installed, replacing a steam-engine drive mill that set many production records during its time. The installation process was accomplished in the remarkable time of 7 days and 14 1/2 hours of down-time. The Millwright Building (pictured here) housed employees that repaired machinery in the Blooming Mill. The 44-inch Blooming Mill was shut down in October 1984.
