Additional Description: Overhead crane pouring a molten slag return in the reverberatory furnace. Cranes used in the operation weighed between 50 and 75 tons, rose 60 feet in the air, and traveled 600 feet of converter aisles while transferring molten materials between the reverberatory, converter, and copper casting furnaces. In 1976, a new electric furnace replaced the reverberatory furnaces.
