Acetylene, the Principles of Its Generation and Use
Frank Henley Leeds and William John Atkinson Butterfield
Drip water on a gray lump of carbide and it hisses into a gas that burns with a brilliant white flame. Leeds's practical handbook covers acetylene from generation and purification to its use for light, heat and power. A thorough guide from the age when this gas lit homes, bicycles and mines. Discover the chemistry behind a once-dazzling flame.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
