Description summary:
The description varies with 
Experimental Object.
| Experiment | Research Description |
|---|---|
| 310, 320 | This might not be a weapon, but it is still metalworking. He is endlessly helpful on questions […] From time to time he mentions the value of heartmetal, […] But he is content to do most of his work in steel and brass and the foresighted metal of Irem. |
| 330 | […] he scrapes a few filings […] for melting and study. They remain […] unmelted, even at the highest temperatures […]
