Vols. 1 and 2. (a single book). Phew, that was a big title. I don't know if the book is still available; = I obtained my copy in 1983. On pages 42 through 49 inclusive, is a section titled "Peculiarities of = Wound Strings, December 21, 1916". This section records the conversations between the wire maker, = manufacturers and technicians. One of the topics covered is iron-wound = (steel-wound) strings vs. the "new" copper-wound and = copper-plated-winding strings. fwiw: William Braid White is one of the = participants. If you like history, this is an amazing text.
