Description

No wonder it is not possible to do full justice to these technologies in a single write up and no attempt has been made to make the present exercise a comprehensive one. Instead we have attempted to give an overview, just to give an idea of the enormity of number and complexities of the technologies employed and, thereby also give an idea of the steps required in attempting to build an enterprise of this type. We, as students in the mid 1960’s, had failed to get the complete picture of integrated steel plants by reading books.
