Eventually, of course, the West will absorb enormous quantities of locally-produced metallifactures; the war may easily hasten the establishment of some of these factories close to the point of production.

One is accustomed, when thinking of things connected with the manufacture of modern machine parts, to assume that heat treatment actually has been demonstrated. That is to say, that factory or shop executives universally recognize the fact that the physical properties of metallifactures may be altered and adjusted by a properly selected schedule of heating and cooling.
