A VERY important new industry is the
rolling of cold steel bars into wire. The
gencrally-accepted idea has ALWAYS
been that cold rolling would destroy
the fiber of the steel and render the
wire so brittle as to be of no practicable
value. 1t is now found, however, that
instead of the wire becoming weakened
by the process, it's tensile strength is
nearly doubled. In other words. the
tensile strength of hot-drawn steel
wire Is ST, 400 pounds to the square
inch, while that of cold-rollcd steel is
