 MICH INSPIRATION

Though MT. Crawford's announce
 ment is brief it contains an immense
 lot of inspiration for the people of the
 Birmingham district.
 He says nothing about the capacity
 of the mills. but the new electrically
 driven blooming mill which must sup
 ply the two big finishing mills will
 itself be a tremendous enterprise.
 MT. Crawford is guarded in his ref
 erence to the products to be turned
 out. but there Is no longer doubt but
 that ship plates are to be rolled in
 the Birmingham district That will De { the function of the big 110-inch plate mill. Nothing in the south has ever
 been seen of the magnitude of this
 immense mill. which will roll steel ship plates in strips 110 inches wide. As for the combination mill, 1t will be of great flexibility. The official statement says that 1t will be used for .shapes. bars and light rails" Steel
 shapes have been a great ambition of
 the people interested in Birmingham | for many years. Shapes are the "I."
 .Dr'' and other structural beams which | are uscd in the building of sky scrapers, bridges or any class of steel | work of this character.
 Bars are made in the bar mill of almost any shape-round. square, hex | agonal. triangular or otherwise. They | are capable of many uses.
 The light rail mill will be for rails z somewlAt smaller than the ordinary street railway and steam railroad rails.
