Pink Room

I had to search the shelves a while to find this old logbook. The open page lists changes in stock numbers for Cutler Hammer Coils, and one row says that a new coil was installed on the black larry. The larry is the machine that loads coke ovens.

The control room floats above the top of the dock atop a spiral staircase.

Mounted in an office.

The quality assurance labs were no doubt a busy place.

The end of the dock, done quickly and cheaply with wood. The towers were for lights, so ships could be loaded at all hours.

Looking from the mill at the old transfer elevator’s steel tanks.

I assume this sign used to sit near the highway that snakes around the mine and town.

The control room for the whole of the plant. Sinterband here means one of the sintering lines. Temperatures, gasses, mixtures, speeds, and so on were centrally controlled here.

Showering red-hot coke fresh from the furnaces near the Coal Tower (in the back) was the Quenching Tower’s duty (front).
