I've lived in Mayfield most of my life and have never looked over the fence of the Com Steel. So thank you very much. A school friend of mine acquired a load of large ball bearings from Com Steel around 1980, probably via a hole in the fence. They were a feature of his back yard for many a year.
not the full story, since the forge shut down in 2013, we had forged our axle in Sydney, but it was the lack of capacity for forging that has us importing rough axles and finish them here.

I like the fact you put in the effort to research the company and the history of it considering you just wanted to peek over the wall.
No axles anymore, could t compete against China. Still do wheels though
