Metal Cleaning Bibliographical Abstracts 1950 1954 1957 1960 Supplement

The present supplement contains over 225 new references. The inclusion of early United States patents extends the coverage of this phase of the literature to make it as nearly complete as possible: Many of these references were contributed through the courtesy of A. B. McKee. This book supplements the previous editions (STP 90B, STP 90C) such that the years 1842 through 1956 are rather thoroughly covered. The references are arranged by year and secondarily by author, or by journal in which the article appeared if anonymous. The references are numbered consecutively. Additional references that fall within the dates previously covered have capital letters appended to numbers to indicate their correct position, while later references which must be inserted where capital letters are already assigned have been given lower case letters (for example, 72a) to indicate references prior to 72A. In order to facilitate reference to the abstracts, they have been thoroughly indexed by: Subject Author Specification Patent.

How to Find Out in Iron and Steel focuses on guides in conducting research on the manufacture and applications of iron and steel. The book first emphasizes the role of information services and libraries, literature guides, bibliographies, and periodicals in finding information on iron and steel. Topics include guides to sources of information; select lists of books and sources of information on books; and lists of periodicals. The manuscript then takes a look at the functions of periodical indexing and abstracting services in accessing information, including services dealing with science and technology; services solely focusing on iron and steel; and services dealing with the manufacture of iron and steel. The text also discusses the contributions of handbooks, dictionaries, monographs, treatises, textbooks, and standard works in conducting research on the two elements. English dictionaries that focus on a specific aspect of iron and steel technology, mechanical working, foundry practice, heat treatment, and mechanical properties and testing are underscored. The book also explains the different standards used in the manufacture and testing of iron and steel. The manuscript is a dependable reference for readers wanting to conduct research on the manufacture and applications of iron and steel.
