| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | These works are of recent erection, and have been specially laid out for the manufacture of crucible cast-steel and of hand-cut files.
The steel works include the pot house in which the fire-clay steel-melting crucibles are made, the mixing room in which the constituents for the steel are weighed off and mixed for melting, the melting furnace itself, and the steel warehouse in which the finished bars are all thoroughly examined. The most interesting process in the manufacture is the "teeming" or casting of the crucible-steel ingots, which takes place three times a day.
The file works consist of forging shops, annealing room for softening the files, cutting shop, hardening shop, scouring room, warehouse, and packing rooms. |
