The centenary of james b. Neilson's invention of hot-blast in iron smelting


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT IT may be considered singularly fortunate and appropriate that the forthcoming meeting of the British Association in Glasgow exactly coincides with the centenary of James Beaumont


Neilson's epoch-making invention of the use of hot-blast in iron smelting, which was first conceived and demonstrated in that city. For it inaugurated a century of continuous advance in


scientific fuel economy, and may be said to have done for iron-smelting what Richard Arkwright's inventions had previously done for cotton-spinning. Access through your institution Buy
