PeteM:

Thanks for the insight and I too was concerned that it was somewhere on a previous post on this long thread.

Bell- Elder's bookstore in Nashville. My father-in-law, until his passing in 2006, was a rare book collector. So, today while visiting my spouse's family, I made the rounds to the rare bookshops with the little time I had. I was reluctant to purchase it, but I couldn't pass up an original. I also picked up "Patent Office Report Part 1 1853" as well as "Report on the Commissioner of Patents for the year 1861." No photo on Warner's patent, just verbiage. Bell- it's going to take me a little time to scan thru it. But Bell covers all the processes you mention plus Krupp on removing phosphorous from pig iron.

What about the North Carolina Catalan furnace ref?

Kind Regards,
