Author Description

Excerpt from Electric Furnaces in the Iron and Steel Industry The giant strides made in all forms of essential industrialism during the Great War did not neglect the electric furnace. Indeed, it fared better than even the optimists did hope. This, taken together with the practical uniformly good steel made in them by experienced men, heat after heat, has placed this industry on a more solid and dignified footing. Added evidence of this is the one thousand electric furnaces melting and refining steel which are either built or building. The next ten years will no doubt witness more than double the number of electric furnaces described in this volume than those which are in existence to-day.
