Bessemer describes the converter to the British Association

node

Henry Bessemer presents his process for making malleable iron and steel without fuel to the British Association at Cheltenham: air blown through molten pig iron burns out carbon and silicon, and the heat of that oxidation sustains the process. Combined with the later Siemens-Martin open-hearth route, it turns steel from a craft product into a bulk commodity. Architecture does not cause this and does not at first notice it.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
