An experiment made by Glasgow iron
manufacturer. to test the effects of frost
upon iron, is thus described: A bar of the
best qua+ity Scotch bar-iron, three-fourths
of an inch in diameter, was forged into ten
bolts, and six of them were exposed all
night to intense frost in the month of De-
cember-being then tested next morning.
when the thermometer stood at twenty three
degrees Fahrenheit. The other four bolts
were kept warm all night, and protected
during the operation of testing. Three of
the ten bolts were tested with gradual, and
seven of them with sudden strains. With
gradual strains the bolts exposed to frost
gave way with 54,385 pounds strain the
unfrozen bolts stood strain of 55.7I7
pounds-a difference of 2 $40 per cent in
favor of the latter. When submitted to
sudden strains, the difference was 3 CLIO per
cent in favor of the unfrozen bolts.
