Just before the World War I, it had been suggested that one has to be called upon for the goods which one have been furnishing in large quantities, the reply would probably have been that the thing could not be accomplished, that the industry of making steel and the industries that convert the steel products of the mills into goods ready for actual use are highly specialized, and could not be changed for the production of other material except after many months, even years, of preparation. It is convenient to consider the industries of steel-making and of steel-consuming separately, as they have been differently affected. The first demand for war steel was for large rounds, generally between 3 and 4 inches in diameter.
