One 11.4 x 7.7 inch, black and white print taken by an unknown photographer to be considered for use in INGOT magazine. This image shows part of the process for changing the rolls on the hot strip mill at Ebbw Vale Works of Richard, Thomas and Baldwins Ltd. It comprises of a worker in overalls and a hardhat standing near the roll from the mill. Two other men can be seen blurred in the background.

The print has a yellow job sticker on the reverse with the following details: Job: INGOT 30 tbc, Screen: 120, Height: 4 7/8, Width: 7 3/4, Notes: No spotting. Pencil marks on the reverse indicate where the photograph should be cropped for publication. ‘Jan 1960 Men at Work’ and ‘roll change’ has also been written on the reverse in pencil, likely indicating that this image appears in the “Men at Work” picture story for that year and month
