The Value of Science in the Smithy and Forge by William Hutton Cathcart Pdf

Excerpt from The Value of Science in the Smithy and Forge It is not usual for anyone who is constantly engaged in the workshop to attempt to write and lecture on the practical application of modern science. Mr Cathcart, however, who has been thoroughly trained in practical smith-work in the blacksmith's shop, has not only attempted but has succeeded in writing on the subject, showing clearly how much benefit blacksmiths would derive if they were to apply more science in the conduct of their everyday work. It is evident that the author has by patient study mastered the elements of metallography and the effect of heat on the structure of iron and steel, for he has in most lucid language sought to show how such knowledge can be applied. Knowing that there is still much prejudice in the mind of the practical worker against theory, the author has taken some pains to show that the practical worker himself bases his practice on theory, and that "theory and practice are inseparable." "The practical man is always of necessity a theoretical man, whether he admits it or not." What is clearly shown is the necessity for blacksmiths having more theory in order that their practice may be the more perfect. Most of the very excellent photomicrographs illustrating the lecture are Mr Cathcart's own work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
