To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
First comes a molten cascade of basic slagwhich is borne away to cool, then to be ground to finest powder, beforeits quickening power is given to pasture and cornfield, imparting adeeper purple to the clover and a mellower gold to the rippling ears ofwheat. When all the slag has been drawn off, there is a moment's pause, and then a new cascade begins. The steel is beginning to flow, not in adaffodil stream like the slag, but in a cascade of exquisite turquoiseblue, melting away at the sides int...o iridescent opal. Sometimes a greatcloud of steam from the pit below passes across the mouth of thecrucible, and then the torrent of molten steel takes on all the coloursof the rainbow, and the great shed, with its alert, swiftly movingfigures, is suffused with a radiance of unearthly beauty.
When the vessels have discharged all their precious liquid, the cauldroninto which the metal has been poured is swung in mid-air by that unseen, effortless power which we know as hydraulic pressure, through the arc ofa wide circle, until it reaches the point where the great ingot-mouldsstand ready to receive the molten steel.
