that
of
Archimedes,
but
they
have
been
very
important
to
the
Canadian
Nickel
industry
and
to
Canada.
These
discoveries
are
in
a
large
measure
responsible
for
the
fact
that
Nickel
is
today
an
important
material
in
nearly
every
industry.
In
the
post-war
years,
Nickel
research
labora-tories
will
push
on,
their
work
of
discovering
new
uses
for
Nickel.
As
these
new
uses
arc
adopted
by
industry,
the
demand
for
Canadian
Nickel
will
grow.
The
information
gathered
by
International
Nickel
through
years
of
metal
research
is
available
at
all
times
to
Canadian
engineers
and
designers.
Research
helps
to
keep
Canada's
Nickel
mines
and
plants
busy
and
to
create
employment
for
Canadians.
