This is but another instance ofthe very rapid progress made with thesteel during recent years. At the presenttime high-speed drills are so listed anddescribed; the drills for slower cuttingbeing described as ordinary. Thewriter is perhaps not alone in venturinga prophecy that ere long, high-speed drillswill be ordinary, and slow speed drillsspecial, so special that it will be neces-sary for one to visit our museums to seethem, like the Rocket and the Wood-en Walls of old England, good in theirday, but their day gone.
