Scope and Content Dalzell Steel Works, Motherwell, Lanarkshire Dalzell Steel Works was developed by David Colville and Son from 1880 to complement their existing malleable-iron works. A new large open hearth steel plant was installed in the 1914-18 War. After 1945 a new light-section mill was built by Colvilles Ltd. This view shows a belt-driven punching and shearing machine in the boilermakers' shop, where maintenance involving the working of steel plates and sections was carried out. This type of machine was essential before welding became general. Until the 1980s it was common for large factories to have a comprehensive range of maintenance workshops, but mor recently there has been a tendency to contract out maintenance.
