Excerpt from The Annual of Scientific Discovery, 1863: Or Year-Book of Facts in Science and Art
Germany, exhibited a small steel cannon as the most notable achieve ment hitherto effected in this branch Of metallurgy. Four years subsequently, in 1855, M. Krupp sent to the Paris Exhibition a steel ingot that weighed five and one-half tons; while to the one held last year in London he sent a crank axle that weighed no less than twenty tons.
Some extracts gleaned from a recent report by Mr. Fairbairn, the eminent English engineer, on the steam Machinery of the London Exhibition of 1862, will also be found interesting in this connection. Mr. Fairbairn states that in 1859 the steam engines employed in the various factories, steamships, and locomotives of Great Britain amounted to horse power, but that at the present time this sum has increased to horse power, and this may be taken as the steam motive force in the British Islands.
