American Iron Paper Competes In 1851 Exhibition
An American specimen of iron paper stirs a contest among rolling mills in London. Gillett produced sheets averaging 1/1500 inch thick, enough to stack 1500 sheets to an inch. The report notes smooth writable but porous sheets. French engineers say a Channel tunnel is financially feasible with manageable leakage and a 550 foot shaft near Calais will haul excavated material.
