Ingredients for the Furnace

United Wire Works has been based at Granton since 1925.

Here are some of the ingredients that were being put into the furnace for wire manufacture, when I visited the company in 1992.

These furnaces were fed from the balcony on the upper left in this photo:

The furnaces are now (in 2008) no longer in use.
