A patent has been reatly granted to Mr.
William H. Brown, of Jeremy City, for a novel process of manafkotaring continuous ti plates. The plates.in question are made of afool, and the process consiste in producing a sheet of steel of soy asatianons length and of required width by. first rolling the motal hat and afterward rolling it end, antil a proper thickness nad perfectly smooth surface is obtained. Next, the ortace of the heat is soured, and then it is aftorward passed through bath of molten tin, thum Triving its coating. Finally, the short is sub- rected to a rolling operation under heavy pres- Burs, between highly palished rolla by which the a and stoel are condensed and consolidated together, and the surface hardened and polished. The inventor states that by this method the tla will be found to be so hardened upon and in- corporated with the steel as to produce a tim plate which is experier in most respects to any th plate wherever produced, and which, owing to the homogeneous rolecular structure of steel, difters essentially from any tianed fron plate, because the fltoas structura of the iron would render it impossible to subject it, after' Hinning, to such a heavy rolling as is here om played without it working its fibres into or through the tin ip szeb a manner as to leave the Hin very thin a some plaxies, or 1reaking through
