Image 15. After spacing and turning over, the rerolled rails are cool enough to be moved on to the Finishing Mill to be cold-straightened, chipped and drilled.
Details scanned from the original print:
a. Ready for Straightening & Drilling - Overall b. Detail
Note: The mechanical details are not quite apparent here, but there had to have been a way to move the rails seen in the foreground closer to the viewer as the additional completed rails accumulated in the background. One can see some of that mechanism in the immediate foreground.
