Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Year Book of the Society of Engineers, 1896 The charging of the cupola requires close attention, and this varies with the class of work; and the success of this work depends largely on the good judgment of the foundryman in charge. The following will illustrate a method of charging in a 32-inch cupola: On the bed 500 pounds of coke, and on this pounds of iron; next. 100 pounds of coke, and on this pounds of iron; continuing these amounts for the remainder of the charges. A cupola, charged like or similar to the above, will melt four to five tons per hour, and, if everything goes well, eight or ten tons may be melted in one heat, and even more has been accomplished under favorable circumstances.
