Molten iron at white heat …
This made me chuckle … š …
“It is acknowledged that, in the ordinary way, a weight of up to 10lb cannot be regarded as considerable. But when this 10lb is, in fact, molten iron at white heat on the end of a pair of heavy tongs and up to a yard away from the point of lift, even a strong man will waver!”
