PREFACE
This series of articles entitled Welding and The World of Metals first appeared in the Memco News, the official house organ of MILLER Electric Manufacturing Co., beginning in June-July, 1961, issue. Since that time, a total of seven articles have been written compiling historical data researched from many sources. The articles were intended to bring some light to the welding industry concerning the massive heritage we have received from those who have gone before. It has been said that to learn is to know. If we may judge from comments by schools and students, we have apparently succeeded in a small way in providing some of the material for learning. This is a rich reward indeed.

Note

The essays in this publication are presented in their original form and are intended to provide a nostalgic, yet accurate account of the origin of welding. The essays may not reflect the latest welding products or practices.
