According to Miller, the 45-foot high canopy over the rink will be the only structure in the world with an arched wooden roof covering such a large area. The double-tongued boards (Western Coast fir) were especially milled for the Penn State Rink, and shipped from the Engleman Spruce Co. in Washington. Either end of the canopy will remain open, as will the sides of the overhead structure, be tween the nine ribs on both sides of its foundation. A new process for freezing the ice will be effected, and year round ice-skating will be the re suit. Concrete will be poured be tween the refrigeration pipes and above them, so that the 100x200 ft. skating area will be cement. Miller said, "Although the rink is being built by the University, skating will be open to the gen eral public as well as students and faculty. A fence will be built around the structure, but no ad pittance fee will be charged for 'skaters or spectators." —The first steel containing both the alloying elements nickel and chromium was manufactured in 1893 in France.
