Abstract: A bundle of Margach ingots being self-skidded on platform ingots having legs at each end that provide for insertion of a lift fork between the legs and below the main body of the ingots, said body intermediate its end being weakened at some point for easy breaking into two half ingots, said ends being provided with notches or other means to feed each half ingot on a chain feeder into a molten bath. The bundles must be tied with wire (rather than conventional straps) to fit tightly into the notches on first applying same to avoid later slippage into the notch at a critical time.
