Description: | The lead shot tower at the Sheldon Bush Works was built in 1969. Uniformed shot is produced by pouring lead through a sieve or colander, called a 'card', allowing it to form into spheres as it drops inside the tower, and then catching it in cold water. A longer drop improves the uniformity of the shot. | Subjects: | Shot Tower Industry | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Davies, J O | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
