A blast furnace of Ford company's River Rouge Plant at Dearborn Michigan is seen. Molten iron is produced in the furnaces from iron ore, coke, and limestone. Molten iron is poured from the cast house runners into ladle cars. Some of the molten steel is poured into a 'pig' machine at the world's largest foundry; individual 'pigs' or small ingots of solid iron will be used by other industries. Other molten iron is seen being poured into the hot metal mixer, which rocks continuously to mix the iron from several blast furnace heats. Smokestacks outside the power house and a group of people tours the power house. A bank of coke ovens at the plant are seen, with a charge of incandescent coke being pushed into a quenching car.
View of a hot metal (iron) mixer at the Ford River Rouge Plant in Dearborn, Michigan. Molten iron from ladle on a crane flows into the mixer. Mixed molten iron from several heats is later poured into the ladle. Crane carries the bucket and pours iron into an open hearth furnace. Crane moves the ladle at the rear of the open hearth furnace after the iron is converted to steel. Steel is poured in and the crane moves the ladle; a slag pot can be seen to the left of the ladle to catch the lighter slag runoff (not shown). A train of ingot molds is seen moving to be filled with the molten steel.
