Steelyard Tradition Continues
Thomas Curwen’s article “Steelyard Blues” (Aug. 4) is a nice story on Tamco Steel. Indeed, Tamco is the last remaining melt shop of its type in California. However, his description of the rise and fall of Henry Kaiser’s steel mill is not quite the whole story. While it is true that the California Speedway now resides on the site of some of Kaiser Steel’s operations, the rolling mills are still in operation today. California Steel Industries is the largest producer of flat-rolled steel in the Western United States, producing 2 million tons annually.
