"I tell you, Mother, that girl is mine, and I won't have Bessemer or anybody else putting in a finger. She's mine! I told her so a long time ago, and she knows it! She can't get away from me, and it's going to go the harder with her because she's tried. I'm never going to forgive her making a fool out of me before all those people! I'll get her yet! Little fool!"
Bessemer himself vividly described his process in action: "When the molten pig iron is poured into mortar-like converters, supported on trunions like a cannon, the process is brought into full activity. The blast is admitted through holes in the bottom, when small powerful jets of air spring upward through the boiling fluid mass, and the whole apparatus trembles violently.
Bishop's adamantine spectacles like a bullet from Bessemer armour. "Am I?" she replied uncertainly, in her semi-American accent. "Where's the ladies' cloakroom of this place?" "I'll show you," said Mr. Bishop, with no compromise. The encounter was of the smallest, but it made Mr. Prohack suspect that perhaps Mr.
Howat, polishing his glass with a maroon bandanna, read Mariana's letter in the yellow light of the lamp and burning logs. "I have been to see a new steel process," she wrote; "the Duplex, with immense tilting furnaces and the Bessemer blast. I know a great deal about iron now; far more than a Howat Penny who should be an authority.
It was his claim that the rail was rolled direct from the ingot, something Bessemer himself could not do at that time. Mining Journal, 1857, vol. 27, p. 871, and 1858, vol. 28, p. 12. Ibid. , p. 34. Mushet, op. cit. The phrase quoted is typical of Mushet's style. This was the beginning of a series of claims by Mushet as to his essential contributions to Bessemer's invention.
Scientific American, 1856, vol. 12, p. 43, Kelly's suggestion of piracy of his ideas was later enlarged upon by his biographer John Newton Boucher, William Kelly: A true history of the so-called Bessemer process, Greensburg, Pennsylvania, 1924.
Mushet continued, however, to regard the patents as "wholly my own, though at the same time, I am bound in honor to take no unfair advantage of the non-execution of that deed." A possible explanation of this situation may be found in Ebbw Vale's activities in connection with Martien and Bessemer, as well as with an Austrian inventor, Uchatius. Ibid., p. 770. Ibid., p. 823.
It is said they lasted over ten years. The first nails, or tacks, were made of steel at Bridgewater, Mass., at about the same date. Some thirty years ago there were but two Bessemer converters in the United States, and the manufacture of steel did not reach then five hundred tons per annum. In 1890 the product was more than five million tons.
"Huh!" exclaimed Howard, his grin widening. "Huh!" "And remember one thing, Howard," remarked Travis calmly, "don't you ever again ask Mr. Rivers for a nickel to put in your bank." Mr. Bessemer roused up. "Did that boy do that?" he inquired sharply of Travis. "Well, well, he won't do it again," said Travis soothingly. The old man glared for an instant at Howard, who shifted uneasily in his seat.
If that's the sort of thing one has to put up with in society" Travis drew a little line on the sofa at her side with her finger-tip "I am going to stop right there. It's not" Miss Bessemer stiffened again "that I'm afraid of Jack Carter and his dirty stories; I simply don't want to know the kind of people who have made Jack Carter possible.
