The casts were, as they still are, at six in themorning and six in the evening, and as there was generallyon these occasions something to do to some of the works—the twyers, the engine, the filling machines, or the heatingapparatus—the hour of the cast was my busiest time, andobliged me to be on the ground at six oclock every morning.This went on for some time, but I found at last that it wasnecessary to have a working mechanic, to release me ofsome of my duties.

The blast-heating apparatus with which the furnace No. 1 was blown, was that which had been patented by Mr. Neilson, and it was constructed under his directions; but we found it impossible to heat the blast by it to any high degree of heat. The utmost to which it could be raised was 250°, and for a very short period 300°, as the apparatus could not be kept on tight for more than two or three shifts. The principle on which it was constructed was r
