is . In time to bring tha major portion of

Malleable Iron Is the very' highest grade of gray Iron submitted after casting to an annealing
process.' - In this process the carbon is burned out and all Impurities are; eliminated, thus giv
ing It great tensile strength. . It Is pure' Iron and can be stretched, doubled, hammered and
twisted without breaking. To anneal these castings, they are placed In' iih immense sealed
oven and are given heat for sixteen days,' .These castings -when ; removed from the annealing
process, are fashioned back into their original shape by. huge drop hammers and by hand.
