Young Student’s Invention Revolutionized Steel Sheets
In 1921 Abram Steckel, an engineering student, built a crude cold rolling mill after watching wire drawing. With Venice Lamb’s funding he improved it, secured five patents by 1924, and in 1926 founded Cold Metal Process Co. The CMP mill boosted production speed from 140 to 900–1200 feet per minute, transforming the steel industry through licensing and mills, despite lawsuits such as American Sheet and Tinplate Co. v CMP reaching the Supreme Court in 1938.

Dairymen Urged to Favor Alfalfa Over Silage in Ration
Agricultural guidance from Michigan dairymen argues alfalfa hay and home grown grain deliver far more digestible nutrients than large silage inputs. Silage can aid appetite and roughage but displaces valuable hay, so farmers should boost alfalfa, local grain, and stable comfort to lift wartime dairy production without big extra costs.
