The Art of Lead Burning

The Art of Lead Burning - A practical treatise explaining the apparatus and processes.

In compiling a treatise on the subject of lead burning too much stress cannot be laid upon the fact that the greatest care must be taken to observe the smallest details and to follow carefully every suggestion in regard to safety. I am aware of the responsibility resting upon me in placing this article into hundreds of hands, comparatively ignorant of the danger involved in handling so much hydrogen, without thoroughly instructing them in detail as to its use. I may be excused, therefore, if, for that reason, some of the explanations are so simple as to seem ridiculous; but my aim is to present to the trade a treatise that can be relied upon to be free from theory that has not been thoroughly tried and tested, so that the beginner can be sure that, if he follows directions as printed, nothing but satisfaction to him can result. I cannot too strongly recommend that the beginner study the chapter on hydrogen gas until the main points are memorized and clearly 10understood. The experiments should be performed and the result carefully noted for future reference before attempting to use the generator. It is time well spent to master the technical parts thoroughly before attempting the mechanical part. Then when a man takes up the mechanical he will do so with an intelligent understanding of what he is doing, and any little trouble which may then arise can be quickly overcome. Another thing to be observed is to avoid nervousness. A nervous person cannot do this work with any degree of satisfaction, as it requires a cool head and a steady hand and a vast amount of patience to burn the upright and inverted seams. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
