Editorial Notes

Shaping and Forming of Steel:

In this issue we have an interesting paper on "shaping and forming of steel," which was read before a meeting of the Association of Engineers. On this subject there is not very much literature. Shaping and forming of Steel has for long been an art developed mostly by experience of illiterate persons. However, gradually scientific development has been taking place. Research into properties of materials and heat treatment has been progressively increasing. Literature on the subject needs to be increased so that increased knowledge of processes may help designers and draftsmen to improve their designs and details of manufacture and effect great economy in industrial processes.
