Hmmm, Greener at his finest.

He was a master of self-description of his products. Now, the real question is: Was "Sterling Steel" any stronger than the other fluid steel types of the day? Interesting comparison to Whitworth, but also presented in the context as being as strong as pattern-welded barrels, but no assertion of superiority. Anyone know if the proof loads he referenced were also the same ones used for pattern-welded barrels? Does anyone think a lack of comparison to Kruppstahl is significant?

Why does this kind'a remind me of the George Herter thread a while back?

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
