Bogie

The name sometimes given to swivelled trucks and carriages used about the foundry or forge.

Bog-iron Ore occurs chiefly in alluvial soils, in bogs, meadows, lakes, etc. It is a mineral of very variable composition, but regarded as consisting essentially of peroxide of iron and water--peroxide of iron 60 per cent, water 20 per cent. Phosphoric acid is usually present in quantities varying from 2 to 11 per cent; silicic acid, aluminia, oxide of manganese, and other substances which seem accidentally present make up the rest. See ORES.
