Production. Tin smelting. Tin is recovered from smelting furnace smoke in a Southern operation that produces pure tin from South American ore. All the smoke from the furnace is carried by long tubes to Cottrell precipitating units as shown. Here an electrical current of 65,000 volts throws out all the tin held in the smoke, and makes a valuable addition to the supplies of tin now needed for the countless critical war uses of the United Nations

Production. Tin smelting. A sample of slag from one of the furnaces of a Southern tin smelting plant is tested to determine its tin content. After it has cooled, the sample is sent to the plant laboratory for analysis. At this smelter, the most modern plant of its kind in the world, pure tin is extracted from South American ore to meet the countless war demands of the United Nations

Production. Tin smelting. Storage piles of slag at a Southern tin smelter that extracts the pure metal from South American ore. This slag is reintroduced to the smelting process as many times as it is able to yield up useful constituents. The large amount of pure tin produced at this plant serves to meet many of the countless war demands of the United Nations

Production. Tin smelting. Long tubes carry all the smoke thrown off by the furnaces of a Southern tin smelter to Cottrell precipitator units. Here all tin carried in the smoke is removed by an electrical current of 65,000 volts, and added to the metal secured more directly in other stages of the process. The large amounts of pure tin recovered from South American ore in this plant serves countless war purposes of the United Nations
