A scene in a steel mill, Republic Steel Mill, Youngstown, Ohio. Molten iron is blown in an Eastern Bessemer converter to change it to steel for war essentials (LOC), originally uploaded by The Library of Congress.
This is from a great flickr catalog of Library of Congress photos from the 1930s and 1940s. Fascinating stuff.
And it reminds me of a joke ... Don Rickles is at one of those TV celebrity roasts that Dean Martin hosted.
Rickles: "And you're from Youngstown?"
Martin: "Steubenville, actually."
Rickles: "Like that's better?"
