Abstract
IN his Report for the session 1934–35 to the chairman and members of the Livesey Advisory Committee on the work of the Department of Coal Gas and Fuel Industries (with Metallurgy) of the University of Leeds, Prof. John W. Cobb is able to record progress in the increased number of first year students, in the recognition by industry of the value of graduation in this Department, and in the acceptance by the Institution of Civil Engineers of the degree in lieu of one or more sections of the associate membership examination. The Department carries on continuous research on problems connected with fuels and refractory materials, and for some years has been conducting an extended investigation of the influence of furnace atmosphere on the scaling of steel. This work has been encouraged and advanced by grants from the Iron and Steel Federation and, through the Iron and Steel Institute, from the Carnegie Research Fund. The recent work in this research has been directed towards the metallurgical aspects of the influence of sulphur compounds on the scaling of steel, more particularly in relation to the treatment of special steels.
