The Luce-Rozan Desilvering process is fully explained in 'The
Metallurgy of Lead and the Desilverization of Base Bullion', by
H.O.Hoffman, 1899, pp.418-426 & Figs.322-337.
As an aside, it also contains an equally detailed article entitled
'Lead Smelting at Stiperstones (Shropshire)', pp.95-104 & Figs.41-61.
