The turntable contains a rotating platter to hold and spin the disc and an arm that holds a cartridge and needle (stylus). . The cell supplies a continuous source of aluminum for an automated robotic ladling operation, eliminating the noise, heat and fumes fumes

There are many kinds of furnaces, the type depending upon the fuel and the use to which the heat produced within it is put. Most familiar are the furnaces used in the heating of buildings.  is always in the ready state with aluminum for the casting cell.--Thermtronix
