Show me these old toys for self-education, pls

Don't think that I'll be able to post them up, photo-sharing being what it is, but they are here....
If anyone knows how to get a WhatsApp image on to here, I'll try to do so....

Select share in WhatsApp, & select your file manager in the options. That'll allow you to save the image. Else just grab it out of your WhatsApp folder.

Then use the attach files feature on here.

That all sounds a bit complicated for a dozy old sod like me....
If, however, anyone follows Middleton Engineering on Facebook, there's a video of the little kiln in action modifying fly press weights with molten zinc .
It worked, alright....

We have two electric ovens at work, one can hit over 1200C, I've always fancied having a crack at alloy casting, but the boss wouldn't thank me for the electricity bill.
We use them for heat treatment of steel blocks pre-machining into ultrasonic reference pieces.

I recall casting alloy for a nutcracker at school, late 70s...
