Nevertheless, the New Zealand Steel board was persuaded by its technologists to proceed with a three-day trial in May 1972. www.techhistory.co.nz /IronSands/Iron4.htm   (2285 words)

Last check: 2007-10-21) The budget was about 700,000 dollars: which seems a half-way amount judged by the recent New Zealand films, which used to run in at around 40,000 and now are just over the million mark.
