The welding students from Pine Ridge Job Corps Civilian Conservation Center, Chadron, Nebraska, recently took a field trip to the B&C Steel Corporation in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. The company is one of the largest commercial steel building manufacturers in the United States. It has been in operation since 1946. Its specialty is manufacturing the components to build farm storage structures; however, it is not limited to these. The company manufactured several of the buildings for the relocation of the Nebraska State Fair, which has moved from Lincoln to Grand Island Nebraska. As well as forming the sheet metal, the company also fabricates the support beams of the buildings and prime paints all of its own support steel and plates. The large machine in the photo is a mechanical steel punch capable of producing large holes in thick metal plates as seen on the table
