This viewpoint is from a position standing on the south track of the ore yard looking northeast over the ore yard. There were two tracks on the trestle leading up to the stock bins, which appear to be of steel and wood construction.

The four gas offtakes at the top of the furnace swing down and combine into two and then one downcomer bringing the dust laden gas from the top of the furnace to first the dustcatcher and then the gas washer.

 Later blast furnaces raised the offtakes much higher before turning down to meet the downcomer. This helped to contain dust within the furnace.

A scale car would run on tracks below the bunkers and measure the quantities of materials required. It would then dump them in to either skip at the base of the hoist.

In order to keep small particles of coke from being charged into the furnace and restricting the air flow, the coke was tumbled over the grizzlie screens just prior to the skip. The fine coke dust was called coke breeze and was recycled at the sinter plant.
