(Allerton Seward), 1867-1930 contributor: United States. Department of Agriculture. publisher: United States. Government Printing Office. date: 1905 language: English description: "The investigation of which this bulletin is in part a record has been carried on with a twofold purpose in view. The first object is to furnish information to the farmer which will enable him to exercise an intelligent judgment as to the difficulties involved in the manufacture of wire fencing which shall be low in price and at the same time resistant to rust and corrosion. The second object has been to determine, with the cooperation of progressive manufacturers and metallurgists, the causes which underlie the much too rapid corrosion of modern steel wire, and, if possible, to suggest improvements in methods of manufacture by means of which the difficulties may be at least partially, if not wholly, overcome." -- p. 5 subject: Iron -- Corrosion. subject: Wire fencing. subject: fences subject: iron products subject: iron manufacturing type: Pamphlet format: 31 p. ; 23 cm. format: Text identifier: oclc: 4788429 identifier: sudoc: A 1.9:239 identifier: https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc87415/ identifier: ark: ark:/67531/metadc87415
