<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2263269, member: 66"]The problem with that explanation is what would cause a RAISED lump in the strip that could survive multiple passes through the multi-ton pressure of the steel rollers rolling out the strip? If something could have survived without being crushed it would most likely have poked through the surface of the strip, plus it would not be a small roughly circular lump. The roller running over the object would either A not rise up pushing the object ahead of it and tearing a hole in the strip, or B rise up over the object resulting in a thickened ridge running across the width of the strip. The only thing I can think of that could cause a raised lump in the strip would be a chip out of the finish roller (like a die chip). But the surface of the lump seems too smooth for that. Plus the strip would have a regular series of these lumps running along its length that would almost certainly be noticed and the strip rejected.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
