The loading floor of the cupolas in the cupola room is largeenough to make room for an ample quantity of coke, pig andscrap iron, which is brought from the yards, weighed on the lowerfloor and conveyed to the loading floor by an elevator. All thesmall work done in the foundry is carried around in cupolas, theobject being to avoid the necessity of carrying small ladles by handfor any great distance. The larger ladles are conveyed by electriccranes to the more distant portions of the shop. The core ovens of the foundry are unique in that through special.

The ovens are kept at the bakingtemperature day and night, and the process of baking can be car-ried on at all hours instead of, as usual, at night. This is accom-plished as follows: There are four large doorways to the coreovens. Through these pass tracks which end outside a few feetaway from the oven. Over these tracks passes a car containingshelves or racks, on which the cores are placed ready for car terminates at each end in a large door which completelyfills the opening in the core oven so that when the car is insidethe oven, one of its ends closes the opening, and one is outside theother end. In this way the only chance for the escape of the hotair of the oven is in the short time when the car is passing in andout. These cars are worked by compressed air and the operationof mov
