Claim 3
Dependent Claim
85 words
THE ART OF REDUCING AN ORE OF A METAL WHICH IS OBTAINED AT REDUCING TEMPERATURE AS A VAPOR THAT INCLUDES THE STEPS OF CONSTRUCTING FROM THE ORE AND A REDUCING AGENT A STRUCTURE SUBSTANTIALLY FREE FROM VOIDS HAVING ITS ORE-CONTAINING PARTS SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIDISTANT FROM A LINEAR SOURCE OF HEAT HEATING SAID STRUCTURE BY A SOURCE OF SUFFICIENT INTENSITY TO RAISE THE ORE TO REDUCING TEMPERATURE AND AT SUCH A DISTANCE THEREFROM THAT THE TEMPERATURE FALLS WITHIN THE STRUCTURE AT A GRADIENT THAT IS SUBSTANTIALY CONSTANT.
