Manchu Iron Works in Anshan, Manchuria. View of tapping side of Number 8 blast furnace. Of the nine furnaces at Anshan, Number 8, which had been undergoing repair just before the end of the war, is in best condition for resuming operation at an early date. However, before it can be blown in, adequate blowing facilities must be installed and numerous parts must be "cannibalized" from some of the other eight furnaces in order to restore Number 8 to an operable condition.
