A new 20–16 in. hot strip mill

THE past few months has seen the completion of a new 20–16 in. hot strip mill in the plant of the West Leechburg Steel Company at West Leechburg, Pa. The mill is entirely new and designed to roll thin strips. The finishing stands are arranged in tandem in close proximity to each other so that the work on the thin metal is completed before it has time to suffer any great loss in temperature.
