Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from General Electric Review, Vol. 24: January, 1921-December, 1921
Owing to the scarcity of suitable fuel and the comparatively low cost of electric power electricity will be used not only for furnishing power, but also for smelting and refining the steel. That is, the iron ore will be reduced in electric smelting furnaces, the pig iron produced from these furnaces will be converted into steel in electric steel furnaces, and this steel will be rolled into structural and other shapes by electrically driven rolling mills.
It is of interest to note that the power input to these smelting fur naces will be controlled by the com bination of a transformer with taps.
