[edit] Iron Act

A previous author has seriously misunderstood the implications of the Act. I have recently substantially amended the article on that Act, and have therefore merely deletd the unwarranted claims made here about it (and also repeated in an older version of that article.

[edit] Content and anachronism

• Is it appropriate for this article to contain a long discussion of the chemistry of the blast furnace which appears more fully in that article?
• The article refers to the blast being heated in a Cowper stove. However the furnace was built long before bot blast was invented in about 1829. Would it not be better for the references to this to be deleted? If the furnace had a cowper stove, no doubt the date when it was built could usefully be added.
