S. 'Students Tour Steel Co. Of Canada On Wednesday, February 10, the Senior Industrial Arts stu- dents from Port Perry were conducted on a tour of the vari- ous phases of the steel produec- tion industry. Part of the course of study for the Grade XI students in shop training is the study of furniture and upholstery fabri- cation methods. The study of the metalurgical processes of iron and steel also forms part of their curriculum. Unfortunately, because of in- clement weather, the first part of the tour through a modern furniture factory had to be cancelled. However the stud- ents were able to tour the Steel Company of Canada, in Hamil- 'ton. It was extremely fortunate at the plant in Hamilton that all phases of steel industriali- zation were in full production. The students were not allowed to approach very near the blast furnaces, but a full explanation of ithe construction, operation and production was very clearly explained by the guide. The students were able to see two of the cooking ovens discharge their 14 tons of coke and the guide explained how, in modern times, one captures the exhaust gases and recover many bi- products. Passing along to the building which housed the open hearth furnaces, the students again were fortunate to view the tap- ping operation and seeing 300 tons of molten steel pour like highly viscous honey into a large ladle. Then a huge crane easily lifted this molten steel and poured it into the ingot moulds. From here, to the "blooming" mills through vast yards of scrap, deliberately left rusting to pick up valuabe oxygen from the atmosphere, The rolling mill shed is run by about eight men whose duty it is to produce the rough sizes for further pro- duction. Passing the soaking pits, .a crane was just hoisting a red hot ingot to pass on to the rollers. The heat was intense (2400°F.). The rolling mill rolled this hot steel much the mother would roll Yet how different it same as pastry. was! From here a visit to the rod mill where long red hot rods snaked back and forth through various reducing dyes, guided by men with tongs. The trip was very enjoyable and informative, and the Steel Company showed great court- esy in providing the "students with an insight into modern steel production methods. The day was climaxed by a visit to Maple Leaf Gardens to see the Leafs play adiens in' exciting, fast-action, hockey. Mr. G. MacDonald\and Mr, J. Jefford accompanied the stu- dents.
