- Transcription:
- Monday 8 A.M. 1) After a trip of approximately 48 hours from Marquette the ore boat docks at the Fordson Plant. Hallett unloaders start removing the cargo, which is transferred to the High Line, and from there to the skip car which charges the blast furnace. By continuous process this takes 10 minutes. Tuesday 12:10 A.M. 2) Sixteen hours later the ore has been reduced to foundry iron. It is then cast into pigs and sent to the foundry, where, mixed with certain proportions of scarp, it is remelted. This takes about four hours in all.
