'Ribbon of Fire' How Europe adopted and developed US strip mill technology (1920-2000)

摘要

This book is the belated result of a conference of experts held in Manchester in 2001. Although the experts apparently produced texts on their individual topics, the editors and others have put another 10 years of work into extending and refining the contributions. The result is an academic text akin to a dissertation presented for the attainment of a higher university degree. It really should come with a health warning: "not suitable for readers without thorough knowledge of the steel industry". The book contains a glossary of terms, but again, this is not sufficient to enlighten the uninitiated. The text was published in digital form and, as an afterthought, in book form.
