Стр. 107 - In making the sword-blades there are several methods used ; some make a pile of alternate layers of soft and hardened steel, with powdered cast-iron, mixed with borax, sprinkled between each layer. These are drawn out to one-third more than the length of the intended blade, doubled up, heated, twisted, and reforged several times ; the twist is brought up in the same way as that in the gunbarrels.
