Abstract
REPORTS on the corrosion of condenser tubes and on the properties of alloys for die-casting occupy a prominent position in the new volume. The work on corrosion has had a definite result in showing that cupro-nickel and a special aluminium brass have a high resistance to attack by streams of air bubbles carried off by the water, perhaps the most frequent cause of damage. The researches of this committee have proved particularly valuable to the tube industry.
