"Reaumur most significant and original contribution to industrial technology was unquestionably his investigation of the iron and steel industry, the results of which he presented in a series of memoirs read before the Academy in 1720, 1721 and 1722. They were collected and published under the title "L'art de convertir le fer forgé en acier et l'art d'adoucir le fer fondu...". He did bring to these researches a profound mathematical ability, an extraordinarily keen power of observation, a lively experimental imagination and a fine rational intellect.".
