Previously the poor quality of the iron had restricted its use in architecture to items such as chains and tie bars for supporting arches, vaults (拱頂 ),and walls. With the improvement in refining ore, it was now possible to make castiron beams and columns.

Journalists are investigating even the most ordinary aspects of her past which resembles that of so many other young Spanish professional women. Spanish people have also taken note that she tried to interrupt the prince when they talked to the press after getting engaged in November. Let me talk, she told the heir to the Bourbon throne.
