The Iron and Steel Institute

Abstract

FOLLOWING close upon the Institution of Mechanical Engineers came the meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute. The bill of fare of the, younger association was certainly longer, and will probably be foundjiot less interesting, than that of its elder colleague. It contained eleven papers on subjects of practical importance connected with the nature and manufacture of iron and steel. All of these papers were valuable, five of them especially so, and they prove beyond a doubt that the Iron and Steel Institute is doing immense service to metallurgical science in collecting and systematising practical information, and in affording opportunities for the discussion of theoretical opinions.
