Summary "Scientific American, Volume XXIV., No. 12, March 18, 1871" by Various is a scientific publication published during the late 19th century. This volume features a range of topics in the realms of science, mechanics, chemistry, and manufacturing, reflecting on contemporary technological advancements and discussions of the period. The contents include illustrated articles, reports on experiments, discussions on materials properties, and insights into inventions of various kinds. The opening portion of this volume begins with an overview of its content, highlighting various scientific discussions, including a detailed analysis by Mr. Brockbank on the effects of cold on iron and steel, accompanied by experiments and words of notable scientists such as Sir W. Fairbairn and Dr. Joule. These discussions lead to conclusions challenging the common belief that low temperatures make steel and iron brittle. The essence of the scientific inquiry presented sets a tone for the articles that follow, which cover practical applications, inventions, and more, providing readers with a glimpse into the innovative spirit of the time.
