The melted iron
was cast into different moulds to manufacture a number of products.

We were a subsidiary
of Stanton and we were making specials, now specials in those days
were bends to get a pipeline around a corner, a T-piece that joined
two different pipelines together in two different directions.

Different types
of iron were made according to the product being made.

In another shop
we made a dfferent kind of iron, a different analysis because of
its final usage. We made ingot moulds which went off to steel works
at places like Corby and the North East and North West of England
and also into the West Midlands. By this time we had become part
of the Stewart and Lloyds organisation and they made steel in these
ingot moulds. It was a great thing that weighed about five tonnes
and they filled it with steel and came out with a large ingot of
steel that then went through the rolling mills to make rails or
whatever.
