FAMOUS STEEL HAND.
U.S. INVENTOR'S TRIBUTE TO BRITISH CRAFTSMEN.
A famous American whose in ventions helpod Germany to wage war with a hand of iron has now an iron hand himself.
He is Mr. Hudson Maxiin, inventor of smokeless powder and various processes in connection with high explosives.
Mr. Maxim, who recently paid a visit to England, lost his luft hond in an explosion many years ago, and after experimenting with various types of artificial makes. shifts, has just had a steel one. mado for him in London,
It is believed to be the only stoel hand in the world, and it is a tribute to British craftsmanship that he should have come here to have it made.
'HAMMERED OUT.
Details were given to a Daily Chronicle representatative by Mr. A. E. MoClean, artificial limb makor, Aldwych.
**Mr. Maxim had never been abic to'got an artificial hard strong enough for his mechanical and other experiments, and thought that if he could get a hand hara- mierod out of shout steel it would be the very thing he wanted.
"He approached the leading urms in the United States, bat they told him they could not do it, and advised him to come to England, recognising apparently that Americans cannot compete with British craftsmanship.
"I had never known of a hand being beaten out of sheet steel for one thing steel is one of the least malleable metals. "But we were able to satisfy Mr. Maxim. We hammered a band out of steel no thicker than a sheet of paper,. shaping it in the form of a semi- grip so that it will be of some. help in his work. Of course, there are no working joints in it;
EXPLOSIVE EXPERIMENT." "We could have made a hand.' of aluminium, brass, copper or other metals and compositions, but they would not have been nearly strong enough or have the residency of hammered steel, and a cont-steel hand would bare been far too heavy,
+
Mr. Maxim recently told the story of how he lost his hand during an experiment with explo- sives.
"I put a lighted match," he said, "to a fragment of & now fulminate compound, but forgot that tho rest of fulminato was in my left hand. A spark from the ignited piece fell on it, and there was an explosion. The next thing I saw was, the end of my wrist-bone sticking out of the flesh."
A tourniquet was bound round his wrist, and Mr. Maxim walked to the nearest railroad track, half a mile away, and waved a flag to atop the train for New York. The driver, however, ignored him, and it was not till 12 hours later that he reachod New York and received surgical attention.
