I had not really planned on doing another furnace array, but after seeing the super clever and compact model by NitroxNova, I had to do my best to lose some bulk from my designs. No matter how I tried I could not reduce it to a 3x3 profile. My loaders are the bulkiest part of my build at six blocks wide (I could reduce it to two if I lose the extra features) and my array is four blocks wide.
This build is much smaller both above and below
This latest version of our automatic furnace array sports a new all original loading mechanism.
Thanks again to CobblestoneandDirt and NitroxNova, I learned a lot from picking your stuff apart!

ground. The separate control room is now an open loft only one block up from the loading tracks. It is scalable to any size, I have provided some examples in the download of 32, 24, and 16 furnace arrays as well as a "naked" 16 furnace array so you can see the mechanism better. I Use a timed end-loader but, I think I could get better fuel efficiency if I can perfect a through-loader so there is no wasting time on a cart return trip...
My Design Criteria kept it from being any smaller:
1. No pre-loading required,
2. Fully Automatic (just add items and it works),
3. Carts are automatically stowed when there are no more items to deliver,
4. Manual overrides (inspired by NitroxNova) One for manual collection, and a shutoff for the cart return,
5. Fuel and Item input chests must be in close proximity,
I did not include an output selector/divertor in this model (see ver 2 models included)
