Conservation. Scrap iron and steel. Baling press and electro-magnetic crane in a scrap iron dealer's plant at Baltimore, Maryland. An entire automobile chassis and body are compressed into a small cube for shipment to steel mills where the scrap is converted into new steel. Sheet metal must be baled in this way to prevent its burning up in the fierce heat of the open hearth furnaces
