Gentlemen, — I have examined the several articles sent to me by your order under the name of galvanized iron, and represented as manufactured of iron in various combinations with zinc. In this way an arrangement susceptible of electric excitation is obtained, in which, consistently with the laws of electro-chemical action, a preservative power is conferred by the zinc upon the other metal ; for in all cases in which two different metals are in contact, a...

In the reign of Henry VIII. large vessels had a coating of loose animal hair attached with pitch, over which a sheathing board of about an inch in thickness was fastened " to keep the hair in its place.
Página 34 - Ship-building is yet in its infancy, and that there are no well-understood general rules for building Iron Ships, the Committee have not deemed it desirable to frame a scheme compelling the adoption of a particular form or mode of construction, but that certain general requirements should be put forward, having for their basis thickness of plates and substance of frame, showing a minimum in each particular to entitle Ships to the Character A for a period of years, subject, however, to certain periodical...

Ourturreted vessels or monitors will be powerful and effective for harbor and coast defence, but in conflict with any European power our countrymen will hardly be content with merely defensive warfare.

If attempted, the immense masses of timber must rapidly decay,...
