Abstract
The hearth of the furnace is indexed in such a manner that successive workpieces in a loading position are loaded in non-adjacent stations of the hearth during one revolution and are loaded in intervening stations during one or more subsequent revolutions. The method of loading and indexing the hearth enables a uniform temperature distribution to be more easily maintained in the furnace and provides flexibility in locating an unloading position relative to the loading position.
