  • 104 Karchobi

    A very rich gold or silver embroidery in Payale and Surat, India, used principally on large costly articles, such as cushions of state, elephant trappings, etc. The silk velvet or cloth used as foundation is stretched tight on a wooden frame. The design is first filled in or padded, with long stitches of yellow silk to make the gold embroidery stand out. Over this the gold or silver thread is couched down. Where the entire surface is to be covered with metal thread the ground is worked with herringbone effect. Variety is obtained by changing the direction of the metal thread and by employing higher relief on some parts than on the others. The principal subdivisions are: - (1) Kasabtiki, executed with gold or silver thread and spangles, done especially in Surat. (2) Jhikchalak, executed -with two-fold heavy gold or silver thread, each ply of which shows a corkscrew-like effect. (3) Charat-Karachi, so-called because it imitates the Karachi work by using cardboard for winding to give raised effect to the design. (4) Jhiktiki, is a combination of the thread in No. 2 with gold or silver spangles. (5) Chalak-Tiki, similar to No. 4. This embroidery is done on the frame. When done in hand stitches it is known as Reshami Bharat Kam.

  • 107 Cowper-Coles, Sherard Osborn

    SUBJECT AREA: Metallurgy
    [br]
    b. 8 October 1866 East Harting, Sussex, England
    d. 9 September 1936
    [br]
    English inventor of the sherardizing process for metal protection.
    [br]
    He was the son of Captain Cowper- Coles, Royal Navy, the inventor of the swivelling turret for naval guns. He inherited his father's inventive talents and investigated a variety of inventions in his workshop at his home at Sunbury-on-Thames, assisted by a number of scientific workers. He had been educated by governesses, but he lacked a sound scientific background. His inventions, rarely systematically pursued, ranged from electrolytic processes for making copper sheets and parabolic reflectors to a process for inlaying and decorating metallic surfaces. Overall, however, he is best known for the invention of "sherardizing", the process for producing a rustproof coating of zinc on small metallic articles. The discovery came by chance, when he was annealing iron and steel packed in zinc dust to exclude air. The metal was found to be coated with a thin layer of zinc with some surface penetration. The first patent for the process was obtained in 1900, and later the American rights were sold, with a company being formed in 1908 to control them. A small plant was set up in Chelsea, London, to develop the process to the point where it could be carried out on a commercial scale in a plant in Willesden. Sherardizing has not been a general protective finish, but is restricted to articles such as nuts and bolts which are then painted or finished. The process was still in use in 1977, operated by the Zinc Alloy Company (London) Ltd.

  • 108 Mushet, Robert Forester

    SUBJECT AREA: Metallurgy
    [br]
    b. 8 April 1811 Coleford, Gloucestershire, England
    d. 19 January 1891 Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England
    [br]
    English steelmaker who invented the first alloy steel.
    [br]
    Mushet acquired his metallurgical knowledge in his father's ironworks at Coleford in the Forest of Dean. In 1848 his attention seems to have been drawn to the use of manganese in ironworking, in the form of spiegeleisen, an alloy of iron and manganese derived from a Prussian iron ore consisting essentially of a double carbonate of iron and manganese. This alloy came into its own in 1856 with the invention of the Bessemer steelmaking process, for Mushet found that if molten spiegeleisen was added to the Bessemer iron the quality of the product was greatly improved. Mushet patented this process, but when he failed to pay the stamp duty due in 1859 his rights lapsed. Bessemer independently discovered the use of spiegeleisen, although Mushet continued to maintain his priority.
    Mushet's most important discovery was that of tungsten steel, the forerunner of a long line of alloy steels. While working a small crucible steelworks at Coleford, he was asked by a Scottish manufacturer to make a hard-metal tool, but he found that the metal was unsatisfactory. After experiments, he found that an alloy steel containing about 8 per cent tungsten possessed remarkable properties. It proved to be self-hardening, i.e. after forging and being allowed to cool, it was found to have become hardened, without the need for the heat treatment that was normally required. Also, unlike other hardened steels, it did not lose its hardness when heated even to dull-red heat. It would thus remain hard in a cutting tool that had run hot through deep cutting. Mushet's tungsten steel was brought into use in 1868 and was of great benefit to engineers, who were making increasing demands on cutting machines.

    American architect who was one of the pioneers during the mid-nineteenth century of metal framing for commercial building structures.
    [br]
    The Jayne Building, erected in Philadelphia in 1849–50, was begun by Johnston and completed by Thomas U. Walter, architect of the iron dome of the Washington Capitol. The seven-storey Philadelphia Building was iron-framed and clad in granite, and Johnston introduced a vertical type of architectural design reflecting the metal structural form beneath—a format later taken up for taller, skyscraper buildings by Louis Sullivan —but here the upper storey was eclectic, using Gothic tracery. The building was later demolished.

    Self-healing dielectric
    This self-healing property is connected with the characteristics of the metal deposit which forms the electrode and the nature of the insulating support (polypropylene film).
    This special manufacturing technique prevents breakdown of the capacitor due to electrical overvoltages.
    In fact overvoltages perforate the dielectric and cause discharges which vaporise the metal near the short circuit, thus instantaneously restoring the electrical insulation.
