It is not in vain that we live in the Age of Iron which, at the same time, is an Age of Iron Culture. The layman is almost bound to reflect on what iron actually is, and how it is extracted. Iron touches his life a hundred times a day. Apart from the things he uses which are actually made from this metal, and which would take volumes merely to enumerate, thousands of products are made with the help of iron and steel in the form of ma-chines. In fact, everyone from the schoolboy to the housewife should know the way in which we are provided with the iron commodities of our everyday use.
"From Ore to Steel" has been written for all those who have little, or no knowledge of the manufacture of iron and steel, but who are eager to gain some general knov/ledge without getting involved in too much detail. For this reason, the descriptions given are as brief as possible. It is not intended to impart more than a general survey of the subject, unnecessary detail which would merely blur the view of the uninitiated has been omitted. To provide the reader with a clear impression of the various types of blast furnace plants, steelworks and rolling mills with their widely diversified auxiliaries, the book has been amply illustrated.

This is a very old book belonging to my father. Its condition is not too good, so I decided to digitize it. I have scanned iy with OCR, bookmarks & cover. Amazon only lists the 4th Ed, whereas this is the 5th one.
