A new furnace which has just started work at the Ebbw Vale steel works in South Wales, took over three years to build, and cost £1,000,000. When working at full blast it will produce 3000 tons of steel a week, or enough to build an Atlantic liner every month. The first fires were started on July 4, and now they will never be allowed to go out. When the second giant furnace is completed the twin engineering wonders of South Wales will produce 300,000 tons of steel every year.
