Abstract
ON May 2–3, 1935, a symposium on the welding of iron and steel was held by the Iron and Steel Institute in conjunction with a large number of other societies and institutions concerned with this subject. The papers then presented, together with a number received since the meeting, are now available in book form. The number of such contributions has reached the high figure of 150, of which 84 have come from Great Britain, 14 from the United States, 10 from Australia and 9 each from France and Germany. The present volumes, therefore, may truly be claimed to represent an international effort to indicate the present position of the welding industry and the research work which is being done in connexion with it. It will come as a surprise to many people to learn how widespread welding has become and how important are the parts which are joined together by this means.
