Beschreibung

This is the August 1937 issue of "Nickel Steel Topics", a monthly periodical devoted to news about the Nickel Alloy Steel Industry, reporting on advances in the technology, and articles on the use of nickel alloy steel products around the world. On page one we see how widely divergent are the uses of nickel steel alloy: on the left is a photograph of a man dangling head-down as the soles of his shoes are held by a giant magnet . a magnet used in Magnetic Separating Machinery which removes iron from non-magnetic materials. The Magnet looks magnificently huge, but evidently it size had been significantly reduced. How long did they make the worker hang by his shoes? To the right is an article about nickel steel alloy's use in large metallic statuary. The image shown depicts the then newly created heroic statues for the entrance to the newly built municipal bathing pool at Astoria , Long Island. Other articles cover such prosaic subjects as newly designed alloy steel wrenches, improved automatic machines parts. there is a wonderful photograph with a brief caption depicting a 55 ton Turbine Casting. The man standing along side it is truly dwarfed in comparison. The handsome center spread depicts a variety of heavy construction jobs that used nickel alloyed steel : bridges, canal locks; a gigantic Butterfly valve for Boulder Dam; tie rods that were used to reinforce St. Paul's Cathedral . and more. There are numerous other interesting articles. Check out the photograph on the back cover of the two-section Martin Oil Company Maroco oil truck from Kansas City, constructed by the Columbian Steel Tank Company. **************************************** TITLE : Nickel Steel Topics / ISSUE : Vol. 6, No. 4 / DATE : August 1937 / EDITOR : H.
