The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 85

Copper and Brass

Copper and Brass.

Cheek by jowl with the exhibits of the "men of clay" is an imposing display of copper articles, dominated by an enormous boiler, sent by Messrs Mercer and Duekmanton, who have every reason to be proud of their handiwork. The brass-work of Messrs. J. and T. Danks, whose exhibit conies next in order, is too well-known and appreciated to need more than a word of advice to all visitors not to miss inspecting it. Messrs. Scott Bros., on the samo table, show a set of brass fittings for one of the locomotives they are at present building for the Government. Some of the articles are in the rough, others completed and polished. The style and finish of tho latter are beyond all praise. On the watt behind the table the firm have hung drawings of some of the machinery turned out of their works. The processes of electro-plating in nickle and copper are illustrated practically by one of their employees, with the aid of a couple of Bunsen cells and the necessary baths.
