Scrap Metals - Study Of Iron And Steel Old Material, Its Preparation And Markets

This text comprises a practical treatise and study on iron and steel; its preparation, and market. It is the earliest effort to present a broad review of the business of scrap metal, and originated in a series of articles printed in the 'Daily Iron Trade and Metal Market Report', 1917. This is a text that will be of value to those with an interest in the history of metalworking and the scrap metal industry, as well as being of some appeal to collectors of antiquarian literature of this ilk. The chapters of this volume include: 'Abuses in the Scrap Industry', 'Remedies for Abuses', 'American Board of Scrap Iron Dealers', 'Classifying Scrap by Analyses', 'Bar Mill maintained by the Great Northern Railroad', 'Utilization of Scrap for Bar Iron', 'Bookkeeping in the Scrap Industry', 'Buying and Selling Scrap', etcetera. This text was originally published in 1918, and we are proud to republish it now in an affordable modern edition.
