Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Malleable Cast Iron The literature of malleable cast iron, in the American sense of that term, is limited to a single book first issued about 10 years ago and now out of print, and to a series of articles of great diversity of character and quality in the technical publications of this country and Europe. Much of the most valuable scientific matter is buried in the purely scientific press, frequently under titles which do not suggest its application to any one not a specialist in metallurgy. Under these circumstances the preparation of a new book dealing with American malleable cast iron in theory and practice may serve a useful purpose as summarizing and recording, so far as any book can, the contemporary state of the art in the metallurgy of this product. If in the following pages the specialist finds much which appears to him elemental or trivial or the non technical reader finds matter which appears too complex, the author must plead in extenuation his desire to prepare a book to suit many kinds of readers. This has necessitated the inclusion of much elementary matter both in metallurgy and mechanics which will be useful only in acquainting the lay reader with the interpretation of terms and data which form the every day vocabulary of the technician. On the other hand it has seemed that in order that the reader might secure full value from a reading of these pages no known fact or theory should be excluded merely in the interest of simplicity. Feeling that no single individual is justified in the belief that his own views are final in so complex a subject the author has not hesitated to refer freely to the literature and even to record opinions contrary to his own. So far as possible due credit has been given in all such cases. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
