iron run into the vessel, which had the effect of entirely remelting the 
former charge, and when the whole was tapped out, it exhibited, as usual, 
that intense and dazzling brightness peculiar to the electric light. 
To persons conversant with the manufacture of ‘iron it will be at once 
apparent that the ingots of malleable metal which I have described will 
make several bars or rails from a single ingot; doubtless this would have 
been done long ago had not the whole process been limited by the size of 
the ball which the puddler could make. 
The facility which the new process affords of making large masses 
will enable the manufacturer to produce bars that on the old mode of 
le t i 
working it was impossi 
ne of the most important facts connected with the new system of 
manufacturing malleable iron is that all the iron so produced will be 
that quality known as charcoal iron, not that an y charcoal is used in its 
manufacture, but because the whole of the processes following the smelt- 
fectly free from those injurious properties which that d 
never fails to impart to iron that is brought under its influence. 
Same time, this system of manufacturing malleable iron, offers extraor
