1883, provided the biggest explo-

travelled half round the earth. The

Iron Sports Equipment Widely Used in Ancient Times

Steel or iron have been favored
for sports equipment since ancient
times, when Greek athletes hurled
the javelin in their games, and then
down through the Middle ages, when
armored knights tested their skill in
tournaments. Today steel is more
prominent than ever in sports and
games, and every year millions of
pounds of steel are bought in the
form of sports and recreation equip
ment. When many modern sports
were developed wood and leather
were used widely, but the trend is
now toward steel where speed,
strength and safety are important.
