Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Modern Methods of Welding as Applied to Workshop Practice: Describing Various Methods
WE live in a world of wonders. The life of each one of us is, of necessity, so hemmed in by circumstances that none can see much beyond the bounds-of his own habitat. We recognise the progress of an industry which comes within our own experience, but we know little of those with which we are not in personal contact.
The pressman who clamps the plates on a modern lightning news paper press does not see anything very startling or interesting in the work. The man who pulls levers in the pulpit of a great steelworks is not apt to realise that there has been a marvellous advance in the realm of manufacture. The attendant on a bottle-blowing machine has learned to take his work as a matter of course. It is found through the entire list of trades and occupations.
