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,
