Excerpt from The Marvels of Modern Mechanism: And Their Relation to Social Betterment This work is an attempt to describe in language free from technicalities a few of the most striking inventions and to show what part they have played in our industrial life. It is not a technical treatise but is rather a tribute to the men who have "thought in iron and steel" and an attempt to show how their work has benefited society. The demands of modern life are so exacting that the average man is prone to forget how much he owes to those who have helped to bring civilization out of savagery. This book is issued in the belief that he is unthoughtful rather than ungrateful and that he will be glad to have their struggles and victories recalled to him. It has been the writer's good fortune to add to the value of the book by the special articles contributed by Hon. Carroll D. Wright and Willard Smith, M. D. Recognition is made of the painstaking work of Heber A. Hopkins, B. S., in reading the technical parts of the manuscript. Thanks are due to Colonel J. P. Farley and other courteous officers of the Ordnance Department for information furnished; to the Bethlehem Steel Co., R. Hoe and Co., the Westinghouse Air Brake Co., the Commercial Cable Co., the Baldwin Locomotive Works, and many other progressive manufacturers for literature descriptive and cuts illustrative of their work.
