Book Description

Excerpt from Notes on Metallurgical Mill Construction This book is a reprint of a series of articles, bearing upon some of the important details that enter into the construction of metallurgical plants, especially mills of various kinds, which have appeared in the Engineering and Mining Journal, chiefly during the last three years; in a few cases articles from earlier issues have been inserted, in view of their special importance; and there is one article from the Pacific Coast Miner. Some of the articles are abstracts of papers originally presented before engineering societies, subsequently published in the Engineering and Mining Journal, as to which proper acknowledgment has been made. The articles comprised in this book relate to a variety of subjects, which are of great importance in the design, construction, and operation of metallurgical mills, but have not been treated with any fullness in technical literature, save in the periodical literature and transactions of the engineering societies, wherein they escape general availability. For this reason, it has appeared useful to collect and republish in convenient form the articles of this character which have previously been printed in the Engineering and Mining Journal. I recognize fully the deficiencies of the present work, not referring, however, to the value of the articles herein assembled, but rather to their heterogeneous character, and the absence of contributions on many important subjects, which would be necessary to round out a general treatise on metallurgical mill construction. I hope, therefore, that the readers of the book will appreciate my intention, and will accept the book simply as a series of notes and essays, covering some of the principal subjects upon which the engineers of four continents have written during the last three years.
