THIS WEEK’S COVER
- Artist John Atherton continues our family album of American regions with his impressions of Pittsburgh, the steelmaker, which flames at night as though someone had opened a crack to hell. It was the first time Atherton had witnessed the making of steel, and he watched the spectacle with considerable awe. The Bessemer converter which is “blowing” across the river struck Atherton as “one of the most dramatic things I ever saw.” Going through the plant in the foreground, where Mrs. Atherton was allowed to pull a small lever which dumped 250 tons of molten steel, Atherton was struck by “the terrific activity, with so few people to do it. Just a few guys in little glass houses who pushed and pulled things. Altogether,” he said, “it scared the wits out of both of us.”
