That could very well be it Pedrocut ! I had to look that up to see if it could be a fit. And it seems it does, as he worked in Iron through the rest of his life. "These passed flat bars between rolls to form a plate of iron, which was then passed between grooved rolls (slitters) to produce rods of iron."
