Barring out calcined ironstone from kiln after roasting, taken to weighbridge and then placed on lift platform prior to raising to the charging platform at top of the furnace. Note the almost nappy effect on the workman’s trousers; this is in fact a protective pad (made from discarded belting) to protect from the heat which came from the calcined ironstone in the barrow. An early version of PPE!
