This early work on metals is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. Its 571 pages contain a wealth of information on the science and processes involved in metal manufacturing. This is a fascinating work and is thoroughly recommended for anyone with an interest in the metal industry. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
