Bessemer steel plant in the United States in 1865. Troilius worked at the
Midvale Steel Company, and published the first edition of this book in
1885. It is a comprehensive guide book, describing and explaining all the
processes involved in assaying and analyzing iron ores, gas analysis, and
electrolysis. It also contains a very interesting appendix which lists
every single item needed to set up a laboratory for steel analysis.
