Abstract
IN 1903, Heycock and Neville published their study of the copper-tin alloys, one of the classics of metallurgy, and the work of later investigators, which has filled in the gaps in their account, has only confirmed the accuracy of their diagram and their foresight in adopting long periods of annealing as a means of obtaining equilibrium. The bronzes are of great technical importance, and an account of their composition and uses, by a metallurgist accustomed to handling them in industry, is therefore to be welcomed.
