Abstract
A PAPER by F. W. Harbord at the autumn meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute gives an account of the history of the Thomas-Gilchrist basic process from 1879 to the present date, from the preliminary experiments in a six-pound converter to the presentday production of ninety million tons of basic steel per year. As a contribution to the history of modern steel-making this paper is of real value.
