Scrap Metals Study of Iron and Steel Old Material, Its Preparation and Markets (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Scrap Metals Study of Iron and Steel Old Material, Its Preparation and MarketsThough it is one of the most important raw material departments of the iron and steel world, the scrap industry has had no literature. Aside from day-to-day reports of conditions and prices in various market centers, nothing ever has been written about this great branch of supply. This modest presentation of the subject from various angles therefore is a pioneer effort, perhaps a cornerstone upon which a literature of scrap may be built. It is the earliest effort to present a broad review of the business. It originated in a series of articles printed in the Daily Iron Trade and Metal Market Report during the past winter, further edited and collated to fit it better for book form and bring it up to date.To friends in the industry thanks are returned for valuable suggestions that add much to its value. It is hoped the trade may approve this effort to increase the present growing appreciation of the real importance of this industry.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
