The open-hearth, re-generated gas furnace used in these worksreduces steel more slowly than the Besse-mer convertors, but specimens can betested during the melting process andquantities of first-class iron or steel canbe added to bring the mass up to the re-quired standard of purity. The plates manufactured are of greatvariety of sizes, but the most notablething about them is their large propor-tions. Since the advent of large locomo-tive boilers, railroad men have sometimeshad difficulty in obtaining steel sheetslarge enough to cover the outside of afirebox without a seam. The Bethlehempeople are prepared to end this difficulty. The boiler provides square feet ofheating surface, and the grate area is
