Although I had received no technical education I made myself master of chemistry and of the laboratory, which proved of lasting value.

The truth is that we have hitherto made no genuine effort to produce forged steel working parts of automobiles of the highest quality. That is one of the reasons why our automobiles have not ranked with those of foreign make.
