JOM: Volume 48, Number 8--August 1996

ABOUT THE COVER
In this issue, JOM presents its quarterly coverage of the aluminum industry. The coverage is broadly based, ranging from alumina production to dross recycling. The cover photo features the primary reason for our interest: aluminum ingot ready for shipment. The photo was taken at the casthouse loading bay of Tomago Aluminium Company in Australia.
