Pete,
Can I suggest you consult Hunt R (ed), (1867), Dr Ure's Dictionary of
Arts, Manufactures and Mines, Longmans, Green & Co,London. Volume 2,
pages 804 to 834 provide a comprehensive review of lead ores, and
lead and its processing, including details of its smelting, with
numerous illustrations.
Regards
John
