THE KRUPP WORKS 449 have seven shafts, of which five are forhoisting, the deepest measuring about1600 feet. The blast furnaces at Rheinhausenwere erected in 1897. They are threein number, with outputs each of from180 to 230 tons a day. The wastegases from the furnaces are used un-derneath the fifty steam boilers whichform part of the plant. Each of thefurnaces is blown from four com-pound-vertical engines. Two compound-vertical steam en- necessary heating furnaces, machineshops, a rolling mill, etc. Steel cast-ings are turned out for ships, locomo-tives, dynamos, steam engines, smallarms, etc. The specialty of the Gruson Worksis white iron castings. By selectingand mixing specially appropriate va-rieties of ore, and by using metalmoulds instead of sand moulding, amuch harder casting is produced thanthe ordinary one, the surface beingchilled bv the contact with the metal.
