The link between the mines and the industry in Pittsburgh:
- Charcoal was replaced by anthracite coal in the steel production processes and this brought about a revolution in the steel production industry.
- The economy of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is diversified, focused on services and high technology.
- The 'Steel City' in the city of Pittsburgh has no steel mills though 'Pittsburgh-based companies' such as US Steel were being in there.
- Pittsburgh obtained its spot due to its strength in the health care and education industries with 'healthy foundations in technology industries'.
- In the 1800s, a larger weight of coal was required in the steelmaking than iron ore so it was only more reasonable and economical to relocate the industries in proximity to the mines.
- This, in turn, led to a very 'high production' of steel that was used in the production of air brakes, axles, bridges, electric machinery of all sorts and many more and this, boosted the nation's economy.
- This was what tied the coal mines to the industries.
