Extensive Researches "On Galvanic Action between Metals long exposed in Sea Water", "Corrosion of Metals long exposed in Sea Water" Author of an investigation "on Effects of Temperature on Strength of Railway Axles" Part I, II, and III, have been conducted by the author, at a cost of nearly £800, to determine on a large scale the Resistance of metals to sudden concussion at varying Temperatures down to Zero F. Author also of papers "On Variations of Composition of River Waters", Chemical Society, 1875 - and "on Curious Concretion Balls from Colliery Mineral Waters" British Association Report - Chemical Section 1879 - and "on Strength of Wrought Iron Railway Axles" Transactions of Society of Engineers, 1879 - (a Premium of Books awarded for this Paper) At present engaged on a Research "on some Novel Magneto-Chemical Effects on Magnetising Iron", and "on the Construction of Iron, Steels, and Cast Metals at low Temperatures, -50 degrees F." and "on the Viscosity of Pure Ice at -50 degrees F,." etc. |
