- (continued from previous page)burning proceeds the material sinks and the kiln filled as it goes down. The bottom material is burned to a proper lime condition and it is drawn out through the tunnel with a shovel. As burnt lime is well down more stones and fuel are added to the top and so the work goes on. One ton of limestone rock makes about eighteen hundred weight of well burned lime.
