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. Removing slag after tapping a furnace in a Southern tin smelter. The tin extracted from the ore has already been drawn off into floats for further refining. The slag is then run off to the right into ladles which will carry it to recooking operations. The slag is reintroduced to the process for further recovery of the metal

Production. Tin smelting. A laboratory assistant at a Southern tin smelter performs delicate analytical operations that determine the amounts of pure metal remaining in slags from the furnaces. Accurate laboratory control is one of the important reasons why the percentage of metal recovery from the South American ore used at the plant is remarkably high

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

Production. Tin smelting. Tapping the furnace of a Southern tin smelter in which pure tin is extracted from the raw ore of South American mines. Here tin is drawn off into floats which weigh about eighteen tons when filled. The metal is then conveyed to polling kettles, where dross or skimmings are drawn off and forwarded to another furnace for re-melting

Production. Tin smelting. Workers at a Southern tin smelter removing ore from the leaching and bleaching processes and loading it in cars for the furnace. The raw ore comes to the plant in bags, direct from the South American mines and passes through a series of processes that result in the extraction of pure tin which serves countless war puposes of the United Nations
