  • Construction workers installing a 24-inch accumulator in the blooming mill at Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation’s Aliquippa Works. In 1953 a major expansion project to increase steel production at the 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.
