Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an abridgement of a report published in 1879 by the United States Government, presenting the findings of an exhaustive investigation into the properties of wrought iron and chain cables. Conducted by the US Navy, the research was the most extensive of its kind ever performed at the time, and its findings remain valuable to manufacturers, engineers, and historians. The report, prepared by Commander Beardslee and endorsed by inventor Thomas Edison, established the characteristics of iron best suited for use in manufacturing cables and laid out a series of rigorous tests to determine their strength and durability. The book also delves into the effects of repetitive stress, sudden strains, and vibration on the integrity of iron and steel, touching on the controversial topic of crystallization in metals. An essential resource on the history of metallurgy, this book offers insights into the rigorous testing procedures and scientific advancements that have shaped construction and engineering practices for over a century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
