High Speed Steel - Its History, Development, Manfacture, Metallography, And Constitution, Including An Extended Bibliography, James Presley Gill

Masters Theses

"There is no doubt but that the making of Steel was known and practiced by the early Greeks probably several centuries before the birth of Christ. There have been discoveries of pre-historic forges and smelters evidently used for the making of iron and steel and it is certain that implements made of these materials dates back to antiquity. As to the methods of making the steels of antiquity there is little known, but it is quite probable since iron has a strong affinity for carbon that in the forging of the iron it's contact with the carbonaceous fuel would absorb …

The Middle Ordovician Section In East Central Missouri, Morris James Ingerson, Josiah Bridge

Masters Theses

"One of the most serious difficulties confronting anyone working on stratigraphic problems in the Ozark area is the lack of detailed faunal lists of the various formations. A great deal of general work has been done, but very few detailed faunal studies have ever been published, and correlation of the Missouri section with sections in adjoining states is often difficult.

In a recent paper, Dake has discussed the origin and correlation of the St. Peter sandstone. In this study he found considerable difficulty in correlating the various formations above the St. Peter, and at his suggestion, the present study was …

Some Chemical Problems In Geology, Reginald Scott Dean

Masters Theses

"This thesis is in the main a compilation of the views held at this institution in regard to the problems discussed as interpreted by the author. No claims for originality are made except in the manner of presentation as the material used has been obtained by conference and class room work with Professor V. H. Gottschalk and Professor G. H. Cox and also to some extent with H. A. Buehler, State Geologist. On the other hand the material is an expression of these ideas as assimilated by the author and hence may in certain cases differ radically from the views …
