    Henry Cort lived ~ 500 Yards from my home, and I was a governor of the school my son's attended named in his honour!

    I had a closer look and that mesh is spot welded! Lots of transformers there.

    Thanks for posting this.

    This from the Wikipedia page: Puddling was never able to be automated because the puddler had to sense when the balls had "come to nature".

    Quite a few years ago I purchased the book "Sloss Furnaces and the rise of the Birmingham District".
    It was nice to dig the book out again and reread the parts I had glossed over about Puddling.
