Charging an electric arc furnace, Park Gate Iron & Steel Co, Rotherham, South Yorkshire, 1964. During the process of producing steel in an electric arc furnace, the furnace needs to be 'charged' with lime and anthracite, which help form the sulphur reducing slag. The charging door can be seen open in the front of the furnace.
