Abstract
THIS volume possesses the distinction, which is yearly becoming less rare, of containing an account of original researches which are directly applicable to industrial work. Mr. Keep has devoted himself to the study of cast iron since 1885, and from time to time has expressed decided opinions regarding the best methods to be employed in foundries. In particular he has advocated the use of tests by which the amount of shrinkage during solidification is ascertained, his contention being that the quality of the metal to be tapped may thus be determined.
Cast Iron: a Record of Original Research.
