The Western Hero (1963) Explains that a modern blast furnace uses raw materials to produce its daily output of iron, and points out that the preparation and the handling of these materials are as important as the actual smelting. Uses both natural photography and animated drawings to show the raw materials: the ore from which the iron is extracted, coke which provides heat for the smelting,stone to make a fluid slag, and air, for the blast, to burn to coke.
