Abstract
A furnace for receiving continuously advancing stock in linear array is assembled from a number of independent furnace units. In each unit, a furnace chamber surrounds the advancing stock with a radiative wall. Each chamber is fired by gas burners which surround the stock at the chamber exit. The burners include a series of gas jets which feed the fuel, with or without air, radially into the chamber toward the stock and a series of air jets which are paired with the gas jets to feed combustion air axially into the chamber.
