WORK OF MAKING A RAIL
Process Seems a Complicated One to
a Person Who Has Never

oerful sight! The enormous glow

IT, consisted Of a series of rollers that
were turned rapidly. Riding on them,

tened down very much, but we noticed
that deep corrugations had been cut
into Its upper surface. AS 1t moved
on, the rollers turned it over on its
side before 1t was caught by the next
pair or stand" of rolls. 1t went through
TOUR stands in succession, turning over
etween each stand. until it had-made
a complete turn.
Then 1t came to what. is called q
"~three-high" mill. which has three
rolls, one above the other. First the
bloom" as 1t was now called, went
between II middle and bottom rolls:
but no sooner had 1t emerged, than it
was raised bodily, the supporting roll
er tables on both sides of the mill
being raised up simultaneously. The
rollers OF the tables were then re-
Versed, causing the bloom to start
back between the middle and top
rolls. The tables were now lowered.
their rollers reversed, aud the bloom
sent THROUGH hnfu-nnn tho p,fIdlo a-l
bottom rolls as before; but this time
1t was switched to one side, where the
rolls were a little larger in dame
ter. and 1t was a tighter squeeze
through them.
And so the bloom went back and
forth, being switched over to a tight
er pas each time until 1t was
squeezed down to about eight inches
square n over 40 feet long. Then
it was cut in two, and each bloom
went through another set of rolls that
gradually worked 1t down to the size
and shape of a rail. II was fascinae-
ing to watch that snake-like bar over
a hundred feet long, writhing as IL
alive. As 1t came back for It's last
sally through the TrlIs, a whistle was
blown as a warning mat the rolling
was finished, and the rail was now
on its way to the saws. There were
five circular saws that dropped down
upon the glowing metal, and. amid a
shower OF sparks. sawed 1t into four
%ten-yard rails. After that, the rails
were carried OF on turnout tables" to
the "hotbeds" to cool.-From with
