Massive hammer shop at South Bethlehem awes with iron forge
A detailed account describes the South Bethlehem hammer shop nearing completion. It highlights a vast tempering tank, traveling cranes, a 1400 ton anvil bed, an 80 foot frame, and a 123 ton hammer head. The design borrows from Le Creuzot while resting on deflected Lehigh River bed foundations as expert engineer Mr Fritz leads the project. Tolstoi daily life and a crime note follow in this issue.
