About this book
The Boy’s Book of Industrial Information is by Elisha Noyce. The text says copper is a reddish-coloured heavy metal, much used for sheathing the under part of ships, for making boilers, &c. The text says lead is a heavy metal, of a dull blueish tint, and very soft, extensively used for covering roofs, for cisterns, and for pipes for conveying water.
The text says that what is called “black-lead” is not lead at all, but is an ore of iron, being iron in combination with carbon. The text says books have lately been bound without any sewing, by “Hancock’s Patent” process. The text says tunnels of great length are sometimes begun at several different parts by means of shafts sunk down to the required level.
