Wire Worth Eight Hundred Thousand Per Ton
A letter to The Electrical Review explains how skilled labor raises material value. Copper wire is drawn with steel dies for large sizes and diamond dies for very small diameters. Copper wires can be drawn to three thousandths of an inch, with six miles per pound. A reinforced example from Recycling Works shows a wire one seventy thousandths of an inch thick can yield seventy miles per pound. The wire uses steel billet valued at about $800 per ton, while the drawing costs are so high that a finished ton could exceed $80,000 in value.
