| Bob Ciminel posted Alleghen Ludlem annealing/pickling line, date unknown. Jay Rupert: Looks like 71 Line West Leechburg when it was brand new around 1957. David Steele: Pre 60 no hard hat. Mark Boarts: That original design was all done "In house" by AL. One and only if I was told correctly. they bought stuff from vendors and put it together. Jay Rupert: Yep they purchased what is called “terminal equipment” to their spec and put it together. There was supposed to be a 72 Line but that obviously never happened. There was embedded conduit in place for it. Ray Struski: They had a couple of plants in WNY: Dunkirk, Lockport Rick Mcdonald: Not sure when 71 line was installed, but if you zoom in on the coil it has rolling date 2/3/57. Rick Mcdonald: Definitely 71 line. That’s old #3 crane before #56 crane. Chad S White: Very narrow strip Jay Rupert: Chad S White it was built to run two narrow strips or one wider. I think the widest was 34”. Maybe 38”. Mark Boarts: Jay Rupert Old setup could run wide (52) just rarely got any. Double we stayed below 46 combined, 26+ was run single . old line 52 was really pushing the limits of steering..... |
