Thank you for posting some very impressive pictures, Rick.  They were a real
eye-opener.  Most texts that describe steel manufacturing processes, but
don't explain the source of air.  I guess I always assumed blowers were
used, but of course blowers couldn't produce sufficient pressure.   It never
dawned on me that reciprocating pumps were used.  Fascinating. 

Regards,

Orrin
