FE 52 is a rollable and flexible raw material made out of steel. Without this material, industrial fabrications, like houses, ships, cars, and also modern art will not be produced.
"In an attractive and original way were are shown the various uses of steel in the most highly contrasting fields – industries, building, transport, the arts, recreation – and its important place in our everyday life. All over the Europe of the Six we find it being used both on the grand scale and in the minutest quantities, acting as a static element here or a dynamic element there, sometimes flexible, sometimes solid. There is evidence of its presence all around us, on land, at sea and in the air. The great achievement of today offer a glimpse of what will be done with steel tomorrow."
