Coke-fork

A very effective and useful substitute for the shovel in handling coke generally, and for charging the cupola in particular. Being made with from 10 to 14 long steel prongs, they take nothing but clean coke, leaving the dirt behind, and thus saving the use of a riddle.

Cold-blast. See HOT AND COLD BLAST.
