In the long list of products of this great concern may be 
found, under the head of “Mills,” blooming, universal, 
plate, slabbing, sheet, tin, guide, structural, skelp, muck bar 
and cold strip. Under the heading “Shears,” are bloom 
hydraulic, lever, guillotine, vertical, plate, squaring, doub- 
ling and rotary. Other products are high-speed forging 
presses; sand, chilled, steel and ‘“Adamite” rolls; tube works 
machinery for complete lap and butt weld equipment. 
Under the title of “Miscellaneous Machinery,” may be 
mentioned hot and cold saws, roll lathes, accumulators, 
ingot tilters, mill, traveling and tilting tables; billet, ingot, 
ash and slag cars; ore mills, squeezers, intensifiers, manipula- 
tors, plate bending roll, iron and steel castings, machine 
molded and cut steel gears. 
Much of this will be found quite techuical, but it is 
necessary to mention these numerous forms of machinery 
in order to tell the great scope of operations of the company 
under discussion. 
Quite recently the United Engineering and Foundry 
Company constructed the largest blooming mill in the 
whole world. It is technically described as a “54-inch 2- 
high reversing blooming mill,” This mill was recently 
completed at the Youngstown plant of the company, for 
use at the Homestead works of the Carnegie Steel Company. 
In addition to its being the largest structure of its kind in 
the world, it is of special interest in many other partic- 
ulars. The entire mill is of massive construction through- 
out, and with the exception of a few minor parts, the cast- 
ings are all made of steel. Incorporated in the design are 
the latest inprovememts in blooming mill practice, including 
several exclusive “United” features. Due to the dimen- 
sions necessary for the mill, it was practically impossible 
to obtain sufficient spread of bed plates or a suitable arrange- 
ment of feed rollers in a one-piece housing. It was there- 
fore necessary to design a built-up housing assembly, made 
up of four post sections and a top and bottom separator. 
This design is similar to the very successful housing ar- 
rangement which the company developed and built for the 
206 inch 4-High Plate Mill at the Lukens Steel Company,
