Excerpt from The Story of Iron and Steel

This little volume, the outgrowth of courses in American industry, is an attempt to present the main facts of iron and steel making so that any intelligent person can grasp the essence of the complex technical phenomena of iron and steel making without even having to meet technical terms. The constant object has been to make every paragraph intelligible to the lay reader, and, in addition to presenting an understanding of the main technical facts, the major object has been to point out the economic significance of it all, for iron and steel are absolute fundamentals of the present industrial state.
