The process was first introduced toovercome the difficulty, generally experi-enced with the open hearth furnace, ofeconomically making small castings inlimited numbers. In the open hearthfurnace steel can only be produced at areasonable cost in comparatively largequantities; but the Stock converterwill turn out castings economically in 2-ton, 1-ton or even smaller lots. An im-portant feature in connection with it isthat no separate cupola is required forfirst melting the charge. On the con-trary the pig and scr
