Excerpt from Transactions of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, 1920, Vol. 13: Part I The paths of the early workers on electrolytic cells were not strewn with roses. They were very rocky. I speak from experience for I think I have been continuously in the business longer than any other man in this country. In September, 1894, I went to work for the old Electrochemical Company of Rumford Falls, Maine, as a laborer, 20 months later I was made superintendent of the plant, and have held that position there, and subsequently in Berlin for the Brown Company. That makes 26 years of experience. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Transactions of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, 1915, Vol. 8 The rainfall varies from almost nothing in the desert regions to 50 and 60 inches per annum in the northwestern counties of California. With but few local exceptions the climate is divided into a short wet period and a relatively long dry Spell, but the large streams of central and northern California flow the entire year, fed by the everlasting snows of the high Sierras.

Excerpt from Transactions of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, Vol. 3: 1910 At the outset let me voice one word, sir, to you and to your col leagues, Welcome! Really, having uttered that beautiful sound, everything has been said, and I feel that in a sense, on SO beautiful a morning as this, in so exquisite a spot, it had perhaps been more fitting not to go beyond the utterance of that one word. But, as I have been given the honor Of addressing you, I propose to say a few words - literally a -few words. In the first place, reference has been made to my personality. I think perhaps it would be well that you should feel that the one to whom has been entrusted the honorable task of welcoming you can do SO in a sense for all branches of the British race, because I have not the honor of being Canadian born. I have a Sincere and abiding affection for the old country across the Atlantic, from which I came some years ago. I have an equally Sincere and a very great affection for the land of my adoption, Canada, and I have a great affection also for the United States, since, not only from personal intercourse, but by reason of business association, I know a considerable amount about it for one who had not another honor, namely, that of being born in the United States. When I was asked to speak in this early hour Of the day, I wondered if there were any kind of utterance which had been made at any time which indicated what a hard thing it was for a man to have his spoken words considered SO early in the morning. And I found that our good friend Robert Herrick, who lived from 1594 to 1674, had said: In sober mornings, do not thou rehearse The holy incantation of a verse; But when that men have both drunk and well fed, Let my enchantments then be sung or read. I must confess for my own part that I Should naturally expect a more cordial welcome to words spoken after a good hearty dinner than in the morning after an early breakfast. It is hard to decide Of what character they should partake. After dinner one's Speech should be of the nature of a mental liqueur - some Sort Of nice finishing stroke to things which have already been indulged in; but this is absurd in the early morning, after a modest meal of shredded wheat or bacon and eggs. But some thing can be fitly said, even at this early hour. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Transactions of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, Vol. 14: 1921-22 Sulphuric acid is universally concentrated by the application of heat. The first interest of the designer of apparatus to concentrate sulphuric acid must hence lie in the thermal properties of sulphuric acid. Several articles have been written on this subject, and one of them at least has treated the subject very thoroughly and comprehensively. The results, however, are not most conveniently expressed, and the original article is not particularly accessible. This, then, must be the excuse for the present attempt to present an old subject from a different viewpoint. The first thermal property of sulphuric acid which interests us is its specific heat.
