Abstract
THAT boiler plates may become brittle in the course of time and in certain circumstances is now a well-established fact. All the conditions, however, which govern the phenomenon are by no means completely known, and the problem raises points both of great practical and of scientific importance. A paper entitled “The Cause and Prevention of Embrittlement of Boiler Plates,” by S. W. Parr and F. G. Straub, Bulletin No. 155 of the University of Illinois Engineering Experiment Station, which deals with the subject at some length, is therefore of considerable interest.
