Detail of Roll Stands

Note the hot saw in the left background.  It was enveloped in sparks in 
Image 10.  The two sets of rolling mills are arranged in tandem, and the 
hot saw is immediately behind them in this image.

No steam engine of any reasonable size could maintain a steady rolling
speed without some method of regulation.  This regulation was obtained
by using immense flywheels.  Each of the two steam engines that powered
this mill had a 28-foot flywheel.  The flywheels stored sufficient energy to
enable the mill stands to complete the rolling of each rail without slowing
down excessively.  Once the rail was outof both passes, the two steam engines
then could re-charge their flywheels with a new dose of kinetic energy.

Detail of Men & Mill

According to George, Jr.'s notes made late in his life, the 
roller, Henry Eirich, had experience at Kruppwerke Essen 
in Germany.

Other workers that George, Jr. met during summer
employment in 1916-1917-1918 included:

Ole Olsen - heater & hot saw, Bill Baylen - brickmason, 
Jake Mork - millwright,  Mr. Ramsay - roll turner, Roy 
Sparling - finishing end, Bob Spaulding - hot mill boss,
Loius Roberts and Mike Nelson - bosses, unrolled rails,
Mr. Jollig - boss, hot bed, and Zemo (?) Werther - bar
mill start-up man.
