Abstract
WHEN delivering the Christmas lectures at the Royal Institution in 1925 on “Old Trades and New Knowledge”, Sir William Bragg took for the subject of one of his lectures the trade of the smith. One of the objects of this lecture was to show how science has been applied to one of the oldest arts, and what it has revealed. Somewhat the same subject, but under the more prosaic title of “Iron and Steel”, and dealt with in a different manner, was taken by Sir William Larke for his Friday evening discourse at the Institution on March 22, and this address is reproduced as a supplement in our issue this week. Within an hour, Sir William reviewed the whole history of the manufacture of iron and steel, pointing out some of the outstanding landmarks, referring to some of the chief inventors and touching upon some of the great achievements rendered possible by the metallurgists.
