Excerpt from The Rise and Development of the Liquefaction of Gases
Recent developments in the liquefaction of air and the recent liquefaction of hydrogen have added considerable interest to the whole subject of the liquefaction of gases. The literature on this subject is scattered, for the most part, in foreign journals, and is inaccessible to a majority of those who are interested in scientific work.
The object of this little volume is to present a complete history of the development of the methods employed in the liquefaction of gases. Sufficient theory has been given to enable the popular reader to understand the principles involved. While the book has been written in a popular-science style, an effort has been made to make it of value to those who are especially interested in the subject by giving the references to the original literature.
The first intention was to include a complete account of researches at low temperatures and of the industrial applications of liquefied gases.
