To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The puddling process is conducted in an ordinary reverberatory furnace, into which the charge of fine metal is introduced by a side aperture. This is speedily melted by the flame, and its surface covered with a crust or oxide. The workman then, by the aid of an iron tool, diligently stirs the melted mass, so as intimately to mix the oxide with the metal: he now and then also throws in a little water, with the view of promoting more rapid oxida- tion. Small jets of blue flame soon appear upon th...e surface of the iron, and the latter, after a time, begins to lose its fluidity, and acquires, in succession, a pasty and a granular condition. At this point the fire is strongly urged, the sandy particles once more cohere, and the contents of the furnace now admit of being formed into several large balls or masses, which are then withdrawn, and placed under an immense hammer, moved by machinery, by which each becomes quickly fashioned into a rude bar. This is reheated, and passed between grooved cast-iron rollers, and drawn out into a long bar or rod.
