Excerpt from Program and Papers: Brass Association Convention, Held With American Foundrymen's Association; May 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 1907, Second Regiment Armory, Philadelphia, Pa
But it is not possible - nor, indeed, is it necessary to enumerate within the limits of an association paper all Of the scientific discoveries and inventions adopted in practice by the brass industry since the days when, eighty years ago, sheet brass was made in Waterbury, Conn, by alternately passing the ingot between heavy steel rolls and annealing in the flames Of a chestnut wood fire. So much for the past and present - what is the outlook for the future? Completeness applied to the future is, of course, out of the question, and one must be content with a study Of the signs of the times. Even thus the limitations of time and space serve an injunction against completeness, and we can consider here only a few of the problems which confront this generation.
