Full Description
{2} The tube plant installation was to include continuous weld units and a seamless plant. In December 1934 a satisfactory trial run was made on the continuous weld tube plant using steel strip imported from Belgium; 350 tons of tubes made during this test were the first tubes made at Corby. The blooming mill and strip mill were started in January, 1935, and shortly afterwards the tube works went into regular production.
