Compared to the first blast furnaces, the process of pouring down molten steel from the Bessemer one was way more rapid. Rather than waiting for the metal to flow out from the furnace chamber by itself, workers would observe the colour of the flame above the single opening of the burning chamber.
As soon as the right moment came, one of the workers pushed the rod, connecting the already operating steam engine to the set of pulleys and gears, slowly angling the massive furnace on its axis towards the ground.
The moment the liquid metal stored inside the chamber reached the opening of the barrel, it started flowing through a particular set of cast iron half-pipes, slowly filling out the forms prepared in advance.
One by one, the limestone packages were starting to steam the remaining water off from their structure, indicating that the process of settling already begun.
