Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Narrative of Hydraulic Cement Mined in the Lehigh Valley: With a Description of It's Use in the Early Days Some time ago in conversation with Hon. Frank M. Trexler, I casually stated that my father, Samuel Glace, erected the first mill and manufactured Natural Cement in the Lehigh Valley in 1826, when he stated that all books on the subject stated it was at Coplay in 1864, and that if I would write a sketch of the matter it would be an interesting contribution to local history.

Download or read book The Lehigh Valley Cement Industry written by Carol M. Front and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's portland cement industry began in the Lehigh Valley. The rich deposit of limestone known as the Jacksonburg Formation arcs through the valley from Berks County, Pennsylvania, to Warren County, New Jersey, and today it still provides the raw material for the Lehigh district's famous high-quality portland cement. Cement from the Lehigh Valley built America's skyscrapers, dams, and highways. The Lehigh Valley Cement Industry documents not only the quarries and cement mills but also the dozens of companies that sprang up to supply and support the industry. The photographs also tell the stories of the people who formed the cement communities—the entrepreneurs, executives, engineers, and immigrants whose legacies live on in the five multinational companies still making cement in the valley.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Camerton Slope: A Story of Mining Life HE writer of the following pages was reared in a mining community, and at an early age entered the mines as a driver. What is re corded in these chapters may serve as the token of his abiding sympathy and true, brotherly feeling for all who toil in any capacity in the darkness and danger of underground life. After a somewhat extended acquaintance with men in various departments of life and labor, the author wishes here to record the fact that he has found no more genial and lasting friendships, no truer, sturdier types of manhood, no loftier ideals of pure Christian character, than among his chums and associates of auld lang syne.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Use of Silica Gravel in Concrete The use of hydraulic concrete for all kinds oi_ construction, sea-walls, and pavements has become so general that the quality of the materials of which it is made is an item of great interest to engineers, contractors and tax-payers. Engineers in making specifications in most instances call for broken stone, to the ex elusion of other materials - gravel, etc and I find that many persons who have not given the question proper consideration, entertain the theory that concrete made of broken stone alone is a superior mixture and should. Only be used. Whenever my Opinion has been asked as to the advisability of allowing gravel or pebbles to be substituted in whole or in part, I have invariably answered that if they were clean, hard and of proper size, they would make equally as good, if not better, con crete than broken stone. To procure good results in concrete it is essential that the sand, broken stone or gravel should be of a silicious composition, clean, hard, free of clay, organic matter or other impurities. As much care should be taken in the selection of sand and gravel as in that of cement. The theory that the irregular faces and sharp edges of broken stone contribute to the adhesion of the mortar with which they are mixed is incorrect, and this has been demonstrated by practical experience. It is a well-known fact that hydraulic cement shows greater adhesion to clean silica gravel than to broken limestone, and there fore produces better results in concrete. Silica and silicates with hydraulic limes or cements make con crete or artificial stone of a superior quality, on account of theirmutual chemical affinity. The sea gravel generally used in the vicinity of New York in making concrete, beton, etc., has this advantage, that while it can be had in uniform sizes it is irregular in shape and packs solid.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portland Cement The following articles upon Portland Cement were specially written by Mr. Davis, a well-known cement maker, for the benefit of the readers of The Stone Trades Journal in which publication they originally appeared. In response to numerous requests we have decided to re-issue in a more permanent form the information relating to the manufacture, chemistry and testing of cement which those articles contained. The author has taken pains to make the science of cement an easy object for study by the general consumer, and the valuable illustrations which further explain the text, will, we think, justify our giving the work a more permanent form than was originally intended.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cement and Concrete One who wishes only a catechetical reply to any question that may arise concerning cement and its use will be somewhat disappointed in these pages; on the other hand, he who would devote special attention to the subject must, of course, go far beyond them. The author has attempted to take a middle course, avoiding on the one hand a dogmatic statement of facts, and on the other too detailed and extended series of tests, but giving, where practicable, sufficient tests to support the state ments made, and endeavoring to show the connection between theory and practice, the laboratory and the field.
