Summary "The Beginnings of Cheap Steel" by Philip W. Bishop is a historical account likely written in the mid-20th century. This scholarly work examines the development of the Bessemer process, which revolutionized steel production in the mid-19th century. It focuses on the competition among various inventors, including Henry Bessemer, Joseph Gilbert Martien, and Robert Mushet, and how their contributions and controversies played a crucial role in making steel more accessible and affordable. The book delves into the technological advancements preceding and following the Bessemer process, exploring the challenges and innovations in steel manufacturing from the 1850s onwards. Bishop revisits the claims of priority among different inventors, assessing the roles they played in developing new methodologies for producing steel. He explores the intricacies of patent disputes and rivalries, particularly highlighting how industrial interests and personal ambitions shaped the trajectory of what would become a cornerstone of modern industrialization. Through detailed analysis and contemporary accounts, the narrative provides insight into the socio-economic impacts of these innovations on the steel industry and industrial production practices overall.
