Britain’s Increasing: SteelMaking Capacity
[British Official Wireless.] (Received 10 a.m.) RUGBY, January 5. According to a statement made by the British Iron and Steel Federation, the process of scrapping and reconstructing older plant and extending large-scale integrated works has been proceeding rapidly over the past few years. At the end of 1937 the aggregate steel furnace capacity of the country stood at 13,500,000 tons per annum, compared with 12,750,000 at the end of 1936. It is estimated that the industry has spent £20,000,000 in new and reconstructed furnaces, mills, etc., in two years and that by the end of the present year the steel-making capacity of the country will have been further enlarged to rather more than 14,000,000 tons per annum.
