Note that there are a few web references to "pudding" furnace rather than "puddling" furnace. These seem to refer to the developments by Cort, rather than the earlier puddling process. I don't have any reference works to check this out, I'm afraid.

Also, on the web there are some references to "shindling" rather than "shingling", but these seem to be mistakes [1]. Noisy | Talk 12:36, Feb 12, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Link removed

I've removed (and corrected) the link to Book Rags that I initially added, because you need to pay a fee to access the information. I've moved it here in case anyone already has a subscription and is interested. Noisy | Talk 22:17, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comment

There are aspects of this article that are not quite accurate at present. I hope to find time to correct them, from Mott's work (now cited), which remains the best biographical source, despite some more recnet work by others. Peterkingiron 22:22, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
