✦ Synopsis

Manganese Steel. ANON. (Eng. Record, lxiii, 63.)--Wrought manganese steel is now carried in stock in the form of rounds, fiats, plates, sheet bars, billets and blooms. The rolling and forging of manganese steel was declared to be impossible for some years after the Taylor Iron and Steel Co., had established manganese steel castings on the market. Nevertheless the Manganese Steel Rail Co., has developed a process of rolling and forging. It will be observed by those who look into the details of the conquest of manganese that the real work has been done by men of distinction as students and savants, like Prof. Howe and Dr. Cushman, rather than by mill-men, whose experience makes them question the practicability of methods not founded on the physical facts familiar to them.
