Abstract
LABORATORY courses for metallurgical students have often in practice consisted merely of instruction in assaying. The needs of evening students attending technical classes are not, however, met by such courses, and a complete change from the old methods is observable in most schools. Mr. Stansbie has found at the Birmingham Municipal Technical School that students desire only so much practical instruction as will give them an insight into the properties of the metals in which they are interested. Several special courses were gradually developed to meet the requirements of the various metal trades, and this book is put together from the laboratory notes of these courses. It offers sufficient scope for practical work in general metallurgy extending over. the evenings of two years and leading up to the higher stages.
