These mills were designed to work in conjunction with the large cogging mill and soaking pit at Templeborough and the series of fourteen open-hearth steel melting furnaces, each of about 50 tons capacity, erected by Steel, Peech and Tozer, Limited, so that eventually the whole plant, including the wire rod mill, would operate as one unit.
