Subject notes
The Three Stand Hot Strip Mill reduced the thickness of the strip in three staged reductions. It then coiled the strip ready for further processing in No 8 Cold Strip mill. However, before it can move on to No 8 Strip mill it has to go into temporary storage to allow it to cool first.
