Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Metallurgy of Steel, Vol. 1 With regard to the cost of metallurgical processes I have in general given the quantities of material and the amount of labor needed for given work, rather than the actual cost in dollars and cents: for the former, though far from constant, change much less than the latter, being almost free from one important cause of variation, changes in the current prices of these materials them selves and of labor. Given the quantities of material and of labor needed, one who knows the market rates at a given spot can calculate the cost: while if the actual cost for given conditions alone is given, the cost under other conditions and where the prices of materials and labor are different cannot be determined readily. Again, while the managers of works are often willing that the quantities of materials which they use should be known, they for obvious reasons prefer that the costs should not.
