...down below Japan's fleets of bombers, American surgeons, supported by countless church missionary suppers, labor night and day removing the shrapnel which crashes into Chinese flesh almost directly from our own scrap-iron heaps. Their medical supplies diminish as Japan announces that these materials will no longer be admitted...
Since 1920 steelmaking has had a big swing to the open-hearth process. These furnaces, lined with dolomite (lime and magnesia oxide), are primed with plate scrap and limestone, then charged with pig iron, scrap and ore, and heated. Gas expelled from the limestone stirs the mixture, helps form the slag. A furnaceman spoons out samples, cools them to test quality, then adjusts the heat to get just the quality he wants. After about twelve hours the furnace is tapped, the steel ladled off. The Bessemer process is three times faster than the open-hearth, and correspondingly cheaper; but since...

At the 1930 stockholders' meeting, a police cordon was needed to keep the scrap verbal. That year Charles Guth collected enough proxies to make himself president. In 1935, embattled President Guth resigned. Instead of ending, the Guth-Loft squabble thereupon entered a new and noisier phase...
