monument, industrial heritage, industrial equipment
Steel mill equipment from the old Jones & Laughlin Eliza works a few miles downriver. Now an industrial monument at the former site of the Homestead Steel Works. The function of a "bell" was to control the flow of materials into the top of a blast furnace and to block the escape of gases.
