Thanks for the link. Will take a detailed look at it.

There seem to be quite a lot photos related to steel industry on those pages. I spent three summers working at a large cold-rolling mill. I never visited the melting shop or the hot-rolling mill in that particular factory though, which I've since regretted. But of course the cold-rolling mill alone was very interesting. Both impressive and somewhat scary, considering all the big machinery and automation there.

Here's a rather poor photo from the same mill:

showing some coils (usually around 18000-20000kg), automatic guided vehicles and a crane.
