stainless steel

In 1913 (on 13 August) while developing an erosion resistant alloy for gun barrels, Harry Brearley working at the Brown-Firth research laboratory in Sheffield, created stainless steel.

If Mr Brearley had not come across his discovery, no doubt others would have done so, as the Germans and the Americans were also working on alloys.

Today, stainless steel is used for just about everything from cutlery, surgical equipment, appliances, building, automotive etc.

It is cheap to produce and totally recyclable.

........ooooooooOOOOOOOOoooooooo........

I had a good day today. While the washing was being hung out this morning, I went outside to chew on some grass and smell the air.

I also had nice long lap times with my human and we even had an afternoon nap together on the couch just before dinner.

We watched the last (and very exciting) episode of the new Dr Who. We are going to miss it on Saturday nights.
