Add to SetSummary
Ford Motor Company's charcoal briquettes were good for more than just backyard cookouts. This brochure promoted their use as an industrial fuel. The briquettes' dry and even heat, according to the text, made them ideal for drying casting cores and molds, for covering molten metals to prevent oxidation, and for pre-heating castings prior to welding.
