Technical report recounting the experiments carried out between October 1933 and April 1934 by the United States Bureau of Chemistry on behalf of the Tennessee Valley Authority. The experiments, generally speaking, investigated the maximization of thermal efficiency for phosphate smelting furnaces. The primary experimental finding indicates that commercial phosphate blast furnaces for fertilizer manufacture should reach a temperature of at least 2300 degrees Fahrenheit in the smelting process. The work includes four black-and-white photographs of the research team and blast furnace testing stations.
