Operated a Cogging Mill:

"cogging mill
A heavy duty rolling mill for shaping reheated steel ingots into blooms or slabs which has largely been phased out by the continuous casting of steel directly into these shapes. The mill allows the ingot to pass and re-pass through the rolling stand until the desired profile is achieved."

Thank you Tony & Kay. I take it that "1st floor man" refers to his senior role "on the floor" of the factory (like a foreman say?)
