This Allis-Chalmers status panel controls lube oil, hydraulic, and shear clutch brake systems inside a mill building at ArcelorMittal Indiana Harbor in East Chicago, Indiana. The plant traces back to Inland Steel, which built the Indiana Harbor Works starting in 1901. A "Torch Storage" sign hangs nearby on equipment left behind in the shop.
