The converter may be tilted to dischithe metal from the nose of the dome section, or the ladle sect ionmay be detached from the dome section and moved to anydesired point and the metal discharged directly from the dome section has a tuyere i at one side which has a wind. box 2, to which air is discharged through the hollow trunnion is provided with numerous tuyere openings, discharging to theinterior of the dome section. By this construction it will benoticed that air may be supplied to the dome whenever ladle section is provided with a tuyere 4 near its upper end,and has a wind box provided with tuyere openings 5. The windbox is adapted for connection with the coupling head 6, whichis secured to the pipe connection 7, leading to the hollow trun-nion 8, through which air is supplied to the tuyere of the ladle 7 6 The Iron and Steel Magazine section. As shown, the wind box is open at its outer end, andis provided at this end with an upturned flange 9 at its upperedge.
