Campbell Works pickle line   Save
Youngstown Sheet & Tube Audiovisual Archives
Description: This photograph depicts the 'pickle line' at Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company's Campbell works. In the pickle line, steel is run through an acid bath, which removes iron oxide from the surface and leaves it shiny. This makes it suitable for more uses and more valuable. A Mesta machine can be seen in the background, and a factory line made of rollers in the foreground, running across the picture. View on Ohio Memory.
