That is, it was to measure the change in length, and the sagging, caused in the various specimens by alternate heating and cooling, the heat being applied on one side of the specimen only, as occurs in a stove top or a hot ­air furnace. The main idea was merely to get a general con­ception of the comparative merits of the various alloys of cast iron under actual heating conditions.40 leavesen-USThesis
