"Reel 1 shows loading of copper cakes onto platform in front of ram which pushes them into and through heating furnace to get them red hot, takes them from fur- nace, and places them on breaking-down rolls where they are reduced to slabs about one fourth inch thick; shearing into definite sizes and lengths; hot rolling into thin sheets; annealing, pickling, washing, and drying; cold rolling for proper hardness; polishing and bundling; smoothing and leveling of sheets; trimming to proper size; and buffing. Reel 2 shows rolling of copper rods and drawing wire, heating of 250-pound bars, conveying to first rolls, and 'catcher' grabbing rods as they emerge from one roll at speed of more than 1,000 feet per minute and looping them to next pass; method of cooling, coiling, and draw- ing through series of dies for desired gage; making of trolley wire; winding wire onto drums; twisting into cables by entering machine as separate strands and coming out on other side as heavy wire."
