Laser cutting of steel has become increasingly widespread in Australia in the last few years, and the successful use of this technology depends at least partly on selecting the right grade of steel to be cut. There are many advantages to laser cutting including speed, precision, and quality. Steel properties can have a large impact on both the ability to cut steel and the quality of the cut.

Five completely trivial but fun facts to boggle your mind. The theme for this edition of 'S.O.S' is telephones. Did you know:

• Telephone comes from the Greek word tele, meaning from afar, and phone, meaning voice or voiced sound
• The Lazy E Ranch in Gutherie, Oklahoma, has pay telephones that are 2 metres above the ground, for use by cowboys on horseback
• There is a phone booth located in Mojave dessert 23km from the nearest paved road
• The first payphones had an attendant who collected the money and placed the calls. The phones were often in very fancy large booths
• The first mobile car phones were located in the car's trunk, taking up nearly half of the space!
