Excerpt from The Electric Furnace in Iron and Steel Production In May, 1906, the Author was invited by the Publishers of the Iron Trade Review of Cleveland, U.S.A., to contribute to that paper a series of articles upon the electric furnace methods of iron and steel production. The articles were written, and they appeared in that Journal during the second half of the year 1906,-they were also published in The Electrician (London) at a later date. In view of the success which has attended certain of the furnaces and processes for refining iron and steel by aid of electric heat, it is thought possible that the collection and publication of these articles in more permanent form may prove a useful contribution to the literature of this new branch of electro-metallurgy. The present industrial development of these new methods and processes is no doubt small and insignificant when compared with the vast extent and magnitude of the iron and steel industries.
