Through a big advance in metallurgy, Thompson now makes such blades out of powdered iron and a copper alloy, eliminating a great deal of waste. It has also succeeded in casting incredibly intricate parts by pouring mercury into a die, freezing it and dipping the mercury pattern in liquid ceramic to form a mold. Then the mercury is let run out at room temperature, and parts are cast from...
