Back into production go these carloads... Allegheny Ludlum Steele Corp. Brackenridge, Pa. (1941?) Creator: Alfred T Palmer
Back into production go these carloads of scrap metal, Allegheny Ludlum Steele Corp. Brackenridge, Pa. The melting of alloy steels for defense work requires that steel mill scrapyards such as this be constantly filled. The overhead magnet deposits the scrap in a loader which carries it to the open-hearth furnace. About 50 per cent scrap steel is used in open-hearth production

EDITORS COMMENTS
Back into production go these carloads of scrap metal, as the Allegheny Ludlum Steele Corp. in Brackenridge, Pennsylvania gears up for defense work during World War II. This photograph captured by Alfred T Palmer in 1941 showcases the vital role steel mill scrapyards played in supplying alloy steels for the war effort. The image reveals an industrial landscape bustling with activity. The overhead magnet effortlessly lifts and deposits piles of scrap metal into a loader, which transports it to the open-hearth furnace. It is fascinating to note that approximately 50 percent of scrap steel was used in open-hearth production, highlighting the importance of recycling and resourcefulness during this critical period. Palmer's skillful use of color brings vibrancy to this historical moment frozen in time. The vivid hues emphasize both the enormity and significance of America's iron and steel industry at that time. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our nation's dedication to national defense during World War II. It symbolizes not only the strength and resilience of American industries but also highlights how every individual contributed towards safeguarding our country. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, this remarkable image stands as a testament to our heritage - a visual representation capturing an era when patriotism and industrial might united for a common cause.
