Abstract
The automobile of to-day has been made possible-not merely made cheap, but actually made poesible-by new types of steels, new treatments of steels, new knowledge regarding the properties of steels and how to control them, and, also, in some degree, by a corresponding development of the light structural metals. To-day's airplane also is the product of this research into, and development of, new metallic alloys. Where can be seen to-day, the airplane cloth so essential to the aviation of the World War? In the last few years, a new development has begun toward light-weight railway rolling stock based, again, on the newest metallic alloys.
