Mo i Rana 19541030. Norsk Jernverk AS in Mo i Rana is soon completed. Mo i Rana had to give up a fourth of the area within its city limits to the ironworks. It tells a little about the dimensions of what will be Norway's largest company. After 8 years of construction, the ironworks are now approaching the completion. At the highest, the workforce was up to 1300 men, plus 175 officials. 12-1400 men will have their permanent workplace here in the years to come. In a few months, homemade steel will be on the market, produced by our own ore. Here we see one of the converters in the steel plant fed with faded stone. Each of the two converters can take 20 tonnes mass. The iron is converted into steel by air blowing. Photo: Sverre A. Børretzen / Aktuell / NTB
