The oven spins red and hot, the sky outside is cold and black...

.... OK I'm not much of a poet and it really isn't that cold outside, but the casting is going just fine. I've had three hours of sleep so these emails should retain some grammatical structure for a while longer.

We are now at 1100 degrees. Power consumption is 886kW. About half of the glass has run down into the ribs. The level of the glass is going down at a rate of 2 inches/hour. The black marks on the Camera B (close-up) images are 1-inch apart.

Back to LBT Casting News orlab does not affect the oven.
