Talk:Rolling mill

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have removed a reference to foundries as having rolling mills. A foundry is a works providing cast iron goods, and they are not rolled. If a works with a rolling mill is known as a foundry, then the word is being used loosely that is to say it is being misued. Peterkingiron 22:25, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion needed

I have expanded this article to deal with the historical uses of rolling mills in the iron industry. It would be useful if it could be expanded to refer to their use for copper and lead, and also in wire production, not to mention present day uses. This ought however to remain a comparatively brief article, the detail being provided in more detailed articles to which it should lead. Peterkingiron 22:52, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
