Blast furnace during slag tapping

"This is a better hood than average and at times catches the fumes very well, but not when the wind is in the wrong direction, as it was when this photograph was taken. A good feature here is the long rod which the man uses, enabling him to stand outside of the smoky area. However, to close the tap he must approach nearer." (Source: Hamilton A.
