The Wikipedia article on the Bessemer process, the first inexpensive industrial process for mass-producing steel from molten pig iron, consulted for the licensing failure Bessemer's own patent ran into, Robert Forester Mushet's spiegeleisen fix, and Sidney Gilchrist Thomas's later basic-lining fix for high-phosphorus ores. Distinct from the atlas's existing wikipedia-henry-bessemer source, which covers the inventor's own biography rather than the process article.
