Steel. Ford plant. A blast furnace being cast. Here the iron ore starts on its way to becoming an automobile part. The metal travels down sanded trenches; the trench to the left is conveying molten metal to giant ladles; trench on the right carries the slag off. Blast furnaces are cast in this manner about every six hours. Ford River Rouge plant, May 1941
