Description: Photograph illustrating the size and complexity of the pipes delivering the gas to the furnaces at an Ohio mill operated by the Republic Steel Corporation. Gas producers were cylindrical refractory-lined chambers where air was blown through a bed of incandescent coal to produce a fuel gas for the furnaces. Now obsolete, this process was formerly used extensively with open-hearth furnaces. View on Ohio Memory.

Skull, or scull, was the steel which solidified on the inside surface of the ladle. Periodically, this material needed to be removed. This view of the skull drop includes a large metal ball which was used to break the skull so it could be removed and handled by the work crew. Several sections of ladle can be seen in the foreground.
