Kinda piggy-backing on Gene's comment, is there a prototype for the model?  Historically, most of the coke in the US was produced in beehive ovens, or in mechanized ovens within the steel mill.  Just curious.

Thanks for the kind words, guys.

This has no prototype, except what can be found in my vivid imagination...











... still, to my eye, it looks right no matter where I plant it.
