Abstract

Some years ago many Sheffield steel companies with hammer forges producing a wide range of quality products were becoming anxious about recruitment of young people. With an ageing population it was feared that unless some positive steps were taken to encourage boys to enter the forging industry it would suffer from a lack of young people to carry on the skilled work of forging by powered hammers. Already some hammers had had to stand idle because of shortage of men.
