This article focuses on the case study of Dowlais Iron Co. and the Great Western Railway Co. in the 1880s, examining some distributional problems during the advent of mass production of steel. First, it illustrates a new mechanism for mass transport. Second, it shows, however, that the railway company could not deal with the large quantities of goods, which often lead to delayed deliveries. Similarly, the company could not manage diverse information of goods, often leading to wrong deliveries. This article provides an example of the conflicts between mass transport, which was based on standardized information of goods, and steel production, which was not standardized.
