The steel, which was badly corroded, was given the treatment 28 days ago. Today under testing machines at the laboratory the beam failed to show any sign of breaking under a maximum stress of 255,000 pounds’ pressure, as contrasted with 110,000 pounds’ resistance which the beam was rated as having when it was new. Inventors of the new process had estimated the beam would withstand 240,000 pounds’ pressure after treat- ment.
