Binding is tight and square. xvii 518 pages : illustrations. . . . . . . An industrial reference volume compiled and issued by the American Iron and Steel Institute. It continues a series that began under the earlier American Iron and Steel Association providing a systematic listing of iron and steel plants across the United States and Canada arranged for practical use by engineers producers suppliers and government or academic researchers. The directory typically includes plant names and locations ownership principal officers or contact personnel and data on facilities and productsfor example whether a plant operates blast furnaces open-hearth or other steelmaking units and which finished or semi-finished products it produces. In the 1948 context this meant capturing a snapshot of the North American iron and steel industry just after World War II when capacity modernization and geographic distribution of mills were central concerns for both industrial planning and public policy. Researchers and collectors use volumes of this series to trace the history of particular companies and works - such as blast furnaces rolling mills and steel works in specific regions - and to document when plants opened closed or changed ownership. For economic historians the 1948 edition offers a contemporaneous view of an industry transitioning from wartime to peacetime production while for industrial genealogists and local historians it serves as a primary tool to confirm the existence and scope of individual works in the late 1940s North American steel landscape.</p> American Iron and Steel Institute
