Opis

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

This text provides, in a concise form, the essential information on a vast range of appliances and commodities described as Ironmongery and Hardware. Complete with 149 illustrations and easy-to-digest information and instructions, this is a text that will be of much value to those with an interest in general ironmongery - and makes for a worthy addition to collections of similar literature. The chapters of this book include: Iron from Various Forms, Steel and Alloy Steels Including Stainless Steel, Heat Treatment of Steel, Aluminium and its Alloys and Magnesium, Coppers and its Alloys, Nickel and its Alloys, Plastics, Die-Casting, Protective Metal Finishes and Treatments, Cutlery and Plate, etcetera. Many antique books such as this are increasingly hard to find and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are proudly republishing this volume here in an affordable modern edition for the benefit of those interested in the subject.
