| Abstract: | This article reports on the manufacture of New York City manhole covers in India. The foundries are relics of an earlier era in the United States, with barely any of the modern safety measures expected in American factories. Con Edison, which purchases thousands of the covers, has begun including safety requirements into their international contracts. |
