Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Duquesne Monthly, Vol. 20: October, 1912
From the rolls, the Steel passes directly through heavy shears, by which it is cut into pieces of a size convenient for handling, loaded on cars, cooled slightly, and then drawn away, for storage, by the rushing, screaming locomotive, which seems to be the guardian spirit of the place, warning, with its shrill whistle resounding above all the crash of machinery, all the intruders within the boundaries of its domains to betake them selves back to their proper haunts among careless, uncaring humanity, which sees in such Operations as this nothing but the sordid and the commonplace.
