  Stokers...the rods were driven by a geared system attached to a waterwheel in the river. I have enginering drawings of the entire mechanism. Amazing that is was built in such a remote location so long ago. This was not even the original furnace-- the original was built about 20 years earlier-- (a puddling furnace)

  from an article in October 1999 in Adirondack Life, they said that the furnace was only used in 1854.
