PHOTOGRAPHER'S JOURNAL: Once the billets have been poured, the runner box must be removed to get at the billets. It is a cumbersome task, attaching the crane to the runner box, lifting it while holding and working the controls for the crane in one hand, and holding the handle of the runner box and balancing its load and guiding it with the other. Slowly Mike must back across the floor and set the runner box down to cool, out of his way as he goes back to remove the billets.
