Columbus Workman Melts Scrap Steel Into Plow Points
In Columbus Georgia on March 30, Robert E. Masters, head of the moulding department at Columbus iron works, achieved a historic feat by melting scrap steel and turning it into usable plow points. He first tested heat to render the steel fluid enough to run moulds, then melted seven tons of scraps, producing plow points and car wheels for the Constitution. The process yields beautiful color and abundant sparks, marking a milestone in American foundry history.
