Solution

Bellow is an instrument most−commonly used by the blacksmiths to blow air on fire. This provides more air for the burning of charcoal, coal or coke. It is also used to push air into the fire of a furnace so that the furnace can attain the required temperature to melt the iron and to strengthen it through the addition of carbon.
