I wanted to be that once, but I became a farmer so I'd be known as a man
outstanding in his field.

I thought Kester had a guru on staff who wrote textbooks on soldering,
and was considered the Engelmaier/Kenyon of his vocation. Can't recall
his name....??

That's awesome Mike!
The may have used tree sap or pitch as a glue like substance... I can
never
get the sticky stuff off of anything it comes into contact with... isn't
that the sort of thing that formed yellow Amber which was so highly
prized
as a jewelry item and also played a part in the discovery of electric
charges?
Has anyone ever written the history of soldering? I would expect the
solder
manufacturing folks to have some data on the subject...
Nice thread... I will follow the comments with interest...

If Bell soldered he was comparatively recent. The first recorded
instances
of soldering (that I am aware of) are probably wall paintings on Tombs
in
the Valley of the Dead in Egypt dating from around 2000BC. These appear
to
show a line of people making jewellery, using charcoal brazier heated
irons.
Surprisingly adhesives go further back to around 70K BC when rosin was
used
to fix flint arrow heads! I believe Rosin as flux only goes back as far
as
the Elizabethans, possibly later.
I used to have the Egyptians on 35mm slides but I must have chucked them
out
as they are no longer in my roof (hence delay in responding whilst
looking),
I got the original slides from the British Museum.
Regards
Mike

I'm not too sure how soldering started in Electronics, but I know it was
used long before electronics as a method to create Stained Glass windows
or
to assemble sweated copper pipes. Applying Tin/lead to copper foil along
the
edges of the pieces of glass is commonly used today in making the
popular
colored glass windows and lamp shades... I know, because my wife does
that.
Interesting project Steve... it should be fun. This should take you back
to
the time of Alexander Graham Bell and his cohorts... at the very
least...

Hi All!
I'm going to write a small article about the history of soldering, and
how
it's evolved to what it is today. I've done a couple of searchs with
Google
amd
Wisenut, and suprisingly, turned up few links.
I'm going to keep looking, but I thought I'd ask this fine group if any
of
you have any good links to share about the history of soldering?
Thanks a bunch!
