Workers on catwalk   Save
YHCIL MSS0140 Youngstown Sheet & Tube Audiovisual Archives
Description: This photograph was taken along a walkway or catwalk inside a large building that may have housed Bessemer converters. Several workers stand on the catwalk in the distance. Bessemer converters release oxygen gas through molten iron, which reacts with carbon and and other impurities to increase the quality of the steel, as well as producing a large flame. This photograph belongs to the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Audiovisual Archives, so its subject is likely located at a Youngstown company plant. View on Ohio Memory.
