...yellow leaves, and the tang of wood-smoke in the wind. And then there was the sharp outline of a snowy peak against the blue winter sky, the green of pines along the Sherburne trail, and the bright flash of skiers as they hissed through the new powder snow. And then when spring came there was canoeing down the swollen New England rivers, through the rushing white water of the spring freshets...

Germany's contribution to powder metallurgy came about 1916 when the great Krupp Works learned from the electrical industry to press and sinter mixtures of tungsten carbide with cobalt into the hardest cutting compound known, began producing it commercially. These hard-cemented carbides have a hardness between diamond and sapphire. They are often shaped into cutting tools by another product of powder metallurgy: a solidified mixture of diamond dust and bronze powder. They work without softening at high, cherry-red heats while cutting ordinary armament steels two to ten times faster than cutting tools made of the toughest high...
About five years ago Chrysler turned to powder metallurgy to make a door-latch part which would be 1) self-oiling, like a bearing, 2) quieter than clangy solid metal. Besides offering these advantages, this part surprised engineers by being easier and cheaper to make from powder than by former methods. From this and similar pressed parts a wave of interest in powder metallurgy at once swept U.S. industry. First powdered-metal automotive gear appeared in the oil pump of the 1940 Oldsmobile, and this year more new parts have been made from powders...
