Bessemer steel making began about 1860 - four six-ton Bessemer converters were installed during the 1860s , and experiments with the Sieman 's open-hearth process began in 1867 .
Rolling , casting and forging equipment was installed , its products included steel deck beams for ships and sheet metal for shovels , during 1865 Bolton Iron & Steel cast the largest anvil block made in England , weighing 210 tons .
By 1869 the company was making open hearth steel and manufacturing steam hammers to the design of Francis Webb .
Hick 's nephew , Benjamin became a shareholder following incorporation on 9 June 1876 .

Sans Pareil is now housed at the National Railway Museum 's Shildon Locomotion Museum annexe .
In 1867 , Hick first published a paper , reprinted from The Engineer , 1 June 1866 , Experiments on the Friction of the Leather Collars in Hydraulic Presses , that expanded on the work of Dr William Rankine , describing an important series of experiments carried out using a joint invention of Hick and Robert Lüthy ( 1840-1884 ) , a Swiss engineer , initially employed by Hick as a draughtsman and inventor of a hydraulic cotton packing press .
Hick 's father was the inventor of the self tightening collar , used universally in hydraulic presses .
