That technique is the continuous casting process, in which molten steel is formed into semifinished slabs in one unbroken step. Originally conceived by Sir Henry Bessemer, Britain's 19th century steelmaking genius, the process was developed in Germany in the 19305, but has been seriously put to use by European steelmakers only in the past year. The Soviet Union claims to have produced nearly one million tons of steel last year by continuous casting...
...Beaumont, Texas, last week a U.S. Coast Guard board of inquiry sought to solve the mystery of the Marine Sulphur Queen. A 523-ft. converted tanker, the Queen left Beaumont on Feb. 2, bound for Norfolk and points north, with a full cargo of molten sulphur.

There had been no S 0 S, no warning of trouble. The Sulphur Queen and its crew...

The Saturn missile stages designed to travel faster than sound move in and out of Huntsville, Ala., by river...
