Description: Original description reads: "Close-up view of Vesuvius Furnace Stack. This was one of the first iron blast furnaces in the famous Hanging Rock Iron District in southern Ohio. Built in 1833, used charcoal and air blast similar to other furnaces (this known as 'cold blast'). In 1836 the hot blast process was developed at this furnace and being more efficient, it rapidly spread to the other furnaces in this area. In the late 90's competition with the norther Michigan and Minnesota mines caused the return to the 'cold blast' method. The final blast at this furnace was in 1906. This furnace is the source of the name for the Vesuvius Recreation Area." The Vesuvius Recreation Area is located in Wayne National Forest. Lake Vesuvius is a man-made result of dam construction that began in 1937 and was completed by 1941. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photograph illustrating the size and complexity of the pipes delivering the gas to the furnaces at an Ohio mill operated by the Republic Steel Corporation. Gas producers were cylindrical refractory-lined chambers where air was blown through a bed of incandescent coal to produce a fuel gas for the furnaces. Now obsolete, this process was formerly used extensively with open-hearth furnaces. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: These two color photographs depict Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company's blast furnaces. YS&T had blast furnaces at the Harbor Works mill in Indiana and the Campbell Works mill in Youngstown. These 8" by 10" (20.32 by 25.4 cm) images are part of a larger collection of photographs that document the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Company operations. These images provide powerful images of steel industry. In November of 1900 a group of fifty-five Youngstown citizens, led by James A. Campbell, raised $600,000 in capital to create the Youngstown Iron Sheet and Tube Company. Land was purchased along the Mahoning River approximately 3 miles east of downtown. Construction of the mill began immediately and in 1902, opened for production. Spectacular growth marked the company's second decade, some of it spurred on by the demand for steel caused by World War I. In 1923, YS&T purchased the Brier Hill Steel Company of Youngstown and the Steel and Tube Company of America of East Chicago. During the 1 View on Ohio Memory.
