Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Portland Cement Industry in the United States: With Appendices Covering Progress of the Industry by Years and an Outline of the Organization and Activities of the Portland Cement Association What you are, speaks so loudly that people oftentimes do not hear what you say. The Cement Industry of the United States has established for itself a position of such permanence and importance in America's indus trial life, that neither arguments nor eulogies are needed to gain public recognition and appreciation for this great business. We may search the whole field of material virtues and yet find nothing that so commands our respect as does permanence. It is not the beauty of the Pyramids that holds the traveler in Egypt charmed, but it is the appeal their rugged endurance makes to his imagination. They appear to be something that connects today with yesterday - the present with the past - and while they may represent no more than a foolish waste of human effort, they have the power to go on and on, unyielding even to the ceaseless attacks of the wearing elements and the sands of the desert. Cement means concrete; concrete means stone; and stone spells eternity, so far as our finite minds can comprehend. The development of methods to manufacture great quantities of synthetic stone has given our present civilization the durability it so much needed. The creation of a great Cement Industry has removed, in large degree, the serious menace to life of a coming timber famine. The rapid progress of science and engineer ing in our country has been made possible by our cement mills, which have given us the essential material on which to found our prosperity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Portland Cement Industry From a Financial Standpoint The Portland Cement Industry is of great and growing importance. Cement plants, when properly financed, located, constructed and managed, have made very satisfactory returns to their stockholders. There is still room in the industry for honestly and intelligently managed new enterprises, but competition is now so keen that there is no room for weak plants - for plants that are poorly located or designed, for companies that are dishonestly promoted or carelessly managed. The manufacture of cement is a legitimate industry, and the methods of mining promoters have no place in it. The present little volume attempts to discuss cer tain features connected with the financial side of the Portland Cement Industry. It is hoped that it will prove of service both to the banker, who is invited to aid in the flotation of cement securities, and to the investor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portland Cement The present period of the German invasion of our cement market 15 an ominous one for British cement manufacturers. A Portland cement is being put upon our market which in quality equals, if not excels, in some instances, the average product shipped from many of our best known works. The price of the foreign cement is one the English manufacturer IS reluctant, if able, to sell at; and large contracts in this country are being secured by our foreign rivals. The history of the manufacture of Portland cement may be put into a very short space as regards the present inferior position of the average English works. Portland cement was first invented in this country about 1756; Some years later our Continental neighbours started cement manufacture on sound scientific principles. Since this time our foreign rivals have been forging ahead. They have been successful in solving problems of vital importance in the more modern manufacture of a first-class quality product, and at prices which enable them to ship cement, not only to this country but to the very centres of the export and colonial trade which English manufacturers once thoroughly relied upon as their own market.

This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Portland Cement Industry From a Financial Standpoint In spite of the present and growing importance of industry, the history of Portland Cement manufacture covers a relatively short period of time, as compared with that of the iron industry, for example. Contrary to a somewhat popular idea, the ancients do not seem to have been acquainted with cements of the type which are now so widely employed. The "cements" used by the Romans, for example, were not burned products similar to the Portland Cement now used, but were made by mixing slaked lime with a powdered volcanic ash, called pozzuolana. These pozzuolanic or "puzzolan" cements still survive, though not of the greatest industrial importance. During the Middle Ages even the use of the puzzolan cements seems to have been discontinued for large structural work. In those periods the material used for holding masonry together was a plain lime mortar, though by using time and great care in the preparation of the lime, the mortar and the masonry, structures of great strength and durability were finally developed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Portland Cement Industry: A Practical Treatise on the Building, Equipping, and Economical Running of a Portland Cement Plant; With Notes on Physical Testing After this terrible War is over, in which we are fighting for the highest conception of humanity, "Right against Might," and our efforts, combined with those of our gallant Allies, have been crowned with success, the industrial war with our trade competitors will dominate and express our national needs. We shall assuredly suffer crushing commercial defeat if advantage is not taken by British manufacturers to study, adopt, and improve methods of economical production which our rivals have long practised. Neglect, delay, or failure in the attempt will lose to Great Britain the markets of the world for Portland Cement. It is imperative that we should view with detachment the methods of our fathers if we are to be free to rise to the heights of modern practices, and to strive for the mastery in the perfection and dominion of our products. Let us not sit in our office chairs bemoaning our fate and consenting to our trade passing to other countries, but let us get busy in our industrial departments, and to order add progress. For the cement manufacturer the immediate future has immense potentialities. Much time and pains have been given to ensure accuracy in this treatise, to divest it of scientific technicalities, and to present! a clear, simple, and realistic description of the actual and economical manufacture of a building material which is of fundamental and supreme importance. I acknowledge indebtedness to the Council of the South Wales Institute of Engineers for permission to include from their Proceedings, vol. xxxi, No. 4, my "Notes on the subject of Testing Portland Cement;" to Mr. H. R. Cox, M. C. I., for kindred matter; and to Mr. J. A. Towers for data on Power Plants. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Souvenir of the History, Development and Future of Portland Cement Smeaton was a celebrated English engineer, who discovered that a certain limestone con taining a percentage of clay produced. Ca dicing calcined, a cement which he termed Improved Hydraulic Lime. Zealous in his purpose Smeaton risked his reputation as an' engineer, and showed his faith in his material by building with it the fauusnr Eddystone Lighthouse, the founda tions of which stand to-day as a monument not only to the excellence of his cement, but to his ability and courage as an engineer. Tire work was completed in 1759, and has withstood the fiercest storms for a century and a half unharmed to the present time. It was with this discovery that the real hiaton of modem cement manufacture commenced. A third of a _century later a Mr Parker, of Loaduri, patented a process for manufacturing Roman cement that produced a product about the grade of the present American natural cements Several other patents were taken out previous to 1813, when a French professor at Paris discovered the fundamental chemical action in the manufacture of Portland cement, namely, that In the bu.ning the silica of the clay unites with the lime and produces a product with hydraulic pro pertica.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International cartels are powerful organizations that impact our everyday lives, although they are little known. This book presents 15 historical case studies of international cartels that include agricultural and mineral commodities, the machinery industry, telephone equipment, whiskey and cement. These cases reveal that international cartels manipulated prices and shared markets over many decades but that their real impact was far wider. The global convergence towards criminalizing serious cartel conduct has seen a revival in historical research on cartels and competition policy. The regulation of anti-competitive behaviour has changed over time. To understand why the US, European and other modern economies altered their policies through the 20th century, it is critical to understand when, how and why governments have interacted with, and been influenced by, business organizations such as cartels. This volume draws together researchers from different nations to examine the impact of international cartels on the experience of individual nations, those nations’ interactions with one or more international cartels, and ultimately the interactions of individual nations with the wider international community. This book will be of interest to researchers, academics and advanced students in the fields of business and economic history, political economy, and government policy, as well as those interested in cartels and their impact on the wider economy.
