Call Number	X-10632
Title	Rhythm, the open hearth
Creator(s)	Wolff, Raphael G.
Summary	Interior view of Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, Pueblo, Colorado, a steel and iron manufacturing plant; six male employees perform hot work of "tapping out" blast furnace, or the process of removing clay plug.
Date	[between 1950 and 1970?]
Notes	Photographer stamped on back of photoprint.; Title from typed label on back of photoprint with additional typed information: "tapping out operation requires perfect coordination of effort between groups of men working on two sides of the furnace. From the front of the furnace, a long rod is used to locate the clay plug with which the tapping hole at the back of the furnace is stopped. Not unlike galley slaves of old appear these grime-streaked, sweat-soaked toilers as they strain their muscles in perfect unison to swing the heavy rod against the clay plug. At the same time, two or more workers brave the terrific heat of the "back-side" to scoop out the clay as the plug is broken down, so that the molten steel, when the tapping hole is finally opened, wil have an unobstructed passage to the pouring ladles."; R7100106328
