hi apollo I worked @ bedford steels effingham rd 1978 to 1982.
I worked on two different sized mills an eight inch duo and a 9 inch prial the company also had a twelve inch double duo i think which i believe is still running. all hard hot work which ever mill you was on.
done most jobs such as cog backing back and front finnish backing aka
running out. pulling out on the furnace. straightening etc. as a matter of interest sir henry cooper once put my tongs through the rolls doing some promo work for the company i was on the later shift so i could not chastise him for it. I remember them leaving us beer and food how many companies
would let you have a few beers while at work these days?
any one else work here ? .
