Among the wonders of the world is the famous Iron Pillar of Delhi, which was erected about A.D. 300. The pillar, which weighs about six tons and is over 23 feet high, presents one of the conundrums of metallurgical science. As there were 110 steam hammers or suitable forging presses at the time of its erection it is not known how such a wonderful object could have been produced.
