Excerpt from Simple Soldering: Both Hard and Soft, Together With Descriptions Home-Made Apparatus Necessary for the Art The action of metals under heat; the unions resulting from the melting and amalgamations or welding properties of certain metallic combi nations; the fluxes required to clean and protect the metals to be joined; the number of degrees of heat needed, etc are aptly described in other works. But the method of securing the desired result in the simplest possible manner is not often clear, and to that end this little book is written.
