Helium is used for an inert atmosphere. They are new furnace designed from information obtained in the furnace shown in photo C-693-3-BC. The operators are tapping magnesium chloride slag from the furnace on the right. All controls and flow-meters are on the operating floor above the furnaces. Titanic chloride is added to the reaction chamber through the pipe visible above the furnace. Spare pots may be seen at the extreme right."]](https://d8e7jbdw4fu0e.cloudfront.net/4452/a8b16160-c1e6-11ee-ab27-e56e0f1cdedf-wzIJHn7.lg-nt@2x.jpg)
