Name: A white-hot ingot is lifted from the pit

Duration: 23 s
Description: Out of the darkness of the mill a crane raises a glowing block of steel so bright that it spreads into a haze of light, the underside of the crane girder lit above it; below lie the dim shapes of the pits and a rail. The ingot appears to be drawn from a soaking pit, where the blocks were reheated evenly before rolling.
