Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Hardening and Tempering of Steel: In Theory and Practice
This progress we owe to science, which is represented by an excellent technical literature of the subject. This literature becomes very scanty, however, where manu facture ceases and the Working up of the manufactured product begins. But this branch also requires the support of theory. It is scarcely necessary to point out that the trades which have made the most progress are those which have most sought the advice of science.
