Like Little Lord Fauntleroy gone amuck, he lit into his blubbery, 197-lb. goalie, Turk Broda, and ordered him to melt down to 190, or else. He benched Broda, threatened to bench four others...

Open-hearth furnaces melt together pig iron, scrap steel, iron ore and limestone. The carbon is oxidized by the oxygen in the iron ore and goes up the stack as carbon dioxide. Other impurities are absorbed by the limestone slag on the surface of the molten iron. U.S. Steel's new "Turbo-Hearth" furnace blows jets of air across the surface of a pool of molten pig iron. The oxygen in the air combines with the impurities, removes them from the iron, turns the iron to low-carbon steel. This method is not very different from the Bessemer process...

Since the speed of the exhaust gases is proportionate to the temperature in the combustion chamber, Lewis next calculated what temperature such a rocket's materials would have to stand. The figure came out about 506,000° F., which is about 80 times more than enough to melt a combustion chamber made of any known substance...
