According to Edwin C. Barringer in The Story of Scrap, salvage drives in 1942-'43 yielded about 4 million tons of scrap. "During the entire war," he says, "perhaps about 9 million tons was brought out that would not have been available to dealers under normal conditions." This book is a revision and amplification of the booklet, "The Story of Scrap," which was published by the Institute of scrap Iron & Steel Inc. in 1939. The aim of this book is to portray the basic facts of the industry coupled with a semi-technical description of the leading scrap-consuming processes.
