A bar of steel worth five dollars, when wrought into horseshoes, is worth ten dollars. If made into needles, it is worth three hundred and fifty dollars; if into penknife blades, it is worth thirty-two thousand dollars; if into springs for watches, it is worth two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. What a drilling the poor bar must undergo to be worth this! But the more it is manipulated‚ the more it is hammered, and passed through the fire, and beaten and pounded and polished‚ the greater the value. --Sir Henry Bessemer (1813-1898), British inventor and engineer
