Synopsis
Excerpt from The Manufacture of Steel
Mr. Lan and myself have shown its progress as lately as Since that time steel manufacture, far from diminishing, has yearly become more largely developed. At present it has attained colossal proportions. We are now witnessing a complete renovation of the old processes. The Exposition of the Champ de Mars has proven the importance of the products and their great variety, but the methods could not be studied there, although they should especially be understood. It is this motive which has induced me to describe the actual condition of steel manufacture, or, at least, to point out its most salient characteristics.
