Abstract

Firth‐Vickers Look Ahead. Firth‐Vickers Stainless Steels Ltd. intend to modernise and reorganise their facilities for the production of plates and wide sheets. The scheme will cost around £4½ million and take three or four years to complete, being carried out in stages to avoid undue interference with production. The first stage is basically the replacement of obsolete mills by a new 80‐in.‐wide hot reversing mill, with fully mechanised ancillary equipment for the production of plates up to 6‐ft. finished width and from 3/16 to 1 in. thickness.
