Coke plant workers   Save
Youngstown Sheet & Tube Audiovisual Archives
Description: This photograph depicts workers from a coke plant. A sign in the background reads, "COKE PLANT: NUMBER OF DAYS SINCE LAST DISABLING INJURY - 84". Coke plants burn coal in order to purify it and transform it into coke; then, blast furnaces burn layers of coke and iron ore to produce pig iron, the first step of the steelmaking process. This photograph is from the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company Audiovisual Archives, so it likely depicts a Youngstown company plant. View on Ohio Memory.
