In the simple channel furnace it would not be at all easy tocarry out the necessary work of treating the molten iron withthe materials required for producing the desired grade ofsteel. In a later design Gin has elaborated his furnace withthe f>bject of avoiding this objection, and the destructive actionof the slag on the walls of the channel. This modified fur-nace is shown in vertical and horizontal section in Figs. 1 and2. We have here three reservoirs I connected in series by thechannels H. the terminals of the channels being at B. B. Theheating of the charge is obtained by the passage of the currentthrough the molten metal in the channels, while the reservoirsare used for charginj the and treating the iron to pro-. .\. COLIIV.
