N. L. Samways is supervising metallurgist—development at the Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp., Aliquippa Works, Pa. He obtained his B.S. and Ph.D. at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, London, England. In 1957 he joined J’s research laboratory and was appointed research supervisor. He became chief process metallurgist in 1963 and was transferred to Aliquippa in 1967 to head-up a technical task force responsible for the strand caster.
B. R. Pollard is a machine shop foreman on special assignment solving mechanical problems related to the steel works and strand cast facilities. He is the inventor of the Pollard gas shroud and has been with the Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. since 1933.
D. J. Fedenko is development metal-lurgist at the Aliquippa Works, Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. He received a B.S. degree in metallurgical engineering from the University of Tennessee in 1969 and has been with Jones & Laughlin since 1970.
