Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
The machinery about which I am writing is found in the
confectionery industry, but it is also generally used throughout
the food industry and some other areas that produce items that need
to be wrapped and packed for distribution. It just happens that
much of my working life was spent in the confectionery industry.
Similar machinery operates in the pharmaceutical industry, is used
for wrapping and handling books, for wrapping blocks of fuel and
for packing tea and other items. Some of the robots described are
used in the glass industry, loading drinking glasses direct from
hot moulding plants. They are used to load filled bottles into
cases in the drinks business or shampoo for chemical manufacturers.
Other industries, for example the textile industry, used machinery
designed for other purposes (such as weaving), before the
development of packaging machines, that worked on comparable
principles. Some of the mechanisms in all of this machinery
possibly have their ancestry in the great cathedral clock
mechanisms from as early as the fifteenth century. Just because
this book is mainly illustrated by reference to chocolate bars and
sweets does not mean that that is the only application, nor does it
lessen the ingenuity applied in the designs of these machines or
their importance in the modem world.
The title of amorphous magnetism was conceived to en compass the
study of the magnetic properties of dilute ran dom substitutional
alloys, amorphous metallic alloys, amor phous magnetic
semiconductors and the conventional glasses, including
cha1cogenide, organic and inorganic glasses. These materials have
heretofore been considered to be quite different because of the
differences in their atomic struc tures. However, when the magnetic
behavior of these mater ials is carefully examined it becomes clear
that these materials exhibit certain similarities. For the first
time at the International Symposium on Amorphous Magnetism held at
Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan on August 17 and 18,
1972, scientists working in these areas were assembled to examine
the similarities of these systems. This volume contains a summary
of the 9 invited talks, 23 delivered, contributed papers and an
additional 12 contri buted papers whcih were not presented because
of insuffic ient time in the program. This volume presents for the
first time a collection of the most current theoretical and
experimental studies in the area of amorphous magnetism. We wish to
thank the authors of these papers for their outstanding cooperation
in preparing their manuscripts and for editing our transcriptions
from tape recordings of the discussions which followed their
presentations. In addition, we wish to thank the participants at
this conference whose enthusiasm and interest made the conference
so successful."
