Summary edit

Description
Français : Convertisseur Peirce-Smith construit en 1911. La cornue métallique fait 37 ft. 2 in. x 10 ft., avec 44 tuyeres. Il converti 60 tonnes de matte + 6 tonnes de roche quartzique, qui donnent 5-6 tonnes de matte convertie. Ainsi, pour remplir le convertisseur avec de la matte convertie, 300 à 400 tonnes de matte brute sont ajoutées par étapes, et soufflées pendant une durée totale de 30 à 50 heures.
