Messrs. Park Bro. of Pittsburg, Pa, under the
name of the g. Black Diamond Cast and Homoge-
neous Steel" We have no power TO award spe-
ciic premium under said rules, but feel it incnn-
| bent on rs TO recommend to the direction of the
association to grant to the above mentioned house
asuitable award and premium, which will show
the appreciation and opinion of this committee as
| 10 the unexceled Importance Of their exhibition
OF various specimens of American steel.
| VI cast steel shapes-square, triangular and
bevei edged-for tools, we fiad that they have re.
| ceived the competitors award. in the class
of steel over all other foreign samples.
| . We also end that in the manufacture of homo
geneous steel this company has exhibited speci-
| mems OF cold bent Hanged, and welded, ia condi-
| ton Tor fire boxes and locomotive tubes aud
| shapes, which have never been successfully pro-
| duced in any foreign or other domestic manufac-
| ture. That we have not a more perfect
granulation in fractured steel; nor at any time
any construction or exhibition Of plates or plan
mould boards, having steel surfaces with iron or
uncarb0nzed centers, put together and welded by
the same process as that by which cast steel ia
made, except such as is shown by them. That
the steel bills stocks and dies exhibited, circular
and cToss-cut saws, are all of ineness, strength
temper and finish altogether TO satisfy your

the above firm if this notics and recommendation
had not been submitted. Respectfully. -r
