Abstract
TWO papers read before the recent meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute, one by Dr. Carpenter on the critical ranges of pure iron, and the other by Dr. Rosenhain and Mr. Humfrey on the tenacity, deformation, and fracture of soft steel at high temperatures, were responsible for a renewal of the discussion upon the allotropic modifications of iron. The present discussion may be regarded as a further contribution to an old controversy, and in order to appreciate its true significance it is necessary to review, somewhat in the manner of a serial story, the incidents of the preceding chapters.
