Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wood Preservation in the United States The decay of wood is not an inorganic process, like the rusting of iron or the crumbling of stone, but is due to the activities of low forms of plant life called bacteria and fungi. Bacteria are among the simplest of all forms of life, often consisting of but a single cell, microscopic in size. Sometimes several such cells may be attached to each other, and so form a thread or filament. Usually they are colorless, and multiply by the division of the parent cell into other cells which, in turn, divide again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hand Book of Timber Preservation It is not pretended that the operator can take the matter up from the book and proceed at once to runthe business, as there is too much that calls for a trained and matured judgment; but the book will be of much service as a hand book and guide during the operation of the plant as well as to hints during the construction. The author is but too sensible of the imperfect arrangement of the work and that much is yet to do to make it complete, but trusts to be able to offer in the near future an edition that will correct, to some extent, the imperfections of this. In conclusion, we cannot do better than quote from remarks made by Henry Goldmark, M. Am. Soc. C. E.: The whole question of timber preservation is, after all, one of economy. The point is not whether the ordinary or an improved creosote process is the best thing, but whether something else much cheaper will not, at least for railroad ties, serve a useful pur pose. This we think is no longer a question. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Preservation of Wood But this little book wishes to do more than to inform the layman who buys and uses wood how he may best serve his indi vidual interests. It wishes to make him realize what every scientist and engineer has long since realized acutely - the national necessity of protecting his wood against the attack of its enemies. His desire to cut down replacement to a minimum is also one of the most vital needs of his country. This book wishes to do its bit, and to acquaint him with the opportunity to do his hit, in the great national effort to conserve our re sources. By protecting his own wood in the best way for his specific purpose, he is at the same time protecting our forests for the common good of all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ferrum Timber Company for the United States of America: Organized for the Preservation of Timber From Decay and From the Ravages of the Marine Worm Hamar asserts that not only will his process preserve timber from decay for fifteen to twenty five years, or for an indefinite period, but will increase the strength and hardness of the timber to such a degree as will actually obliterate the difference of durability between the hard and the soft woods. As proof of this he refers to the sleepers of the Austrian and Hungarian railways, of soft wood prepared by his process more than ten years ago, which have answered every requirement and withstood every test as well as, Oak or any other kind of hard wood might have done. For the preservation of wood from rottenness it is first of all necessary to change its component parts by expelling those that are detrimental and substituting preservatives in their stead. Woody fibre itself will resist putrefaction for a considerable length of time, but the sap is the substance which sooner or later generates rottenness. Hamar's process first expels the sap completely, and next replaces it by the Chemical Compound for preservation. The expulsion of the sap, and the introduction of the chemicals, is produced by a simple and inexpensive appliance of hydrostatic and atmospheric pressure, which acts almost instantaneously throughout the pores of the whole timber subjected to the process. The chemicals vary according to circumstances and the different kinds of timber to be preserved. For a more complete understanding of the mode of preparing timber by this and other processes, some knowledge of the composition and manner of growth of wood, becomes important.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Treatise on Timber Preservation, With Extracts From the Best Known Authorities Long years of practical experience has shown that timber, however prone to dry or wet rot, may be preserved from both by the use of certain metallic solutions, or other suitable protective matters. All the various processes may be said somewhat to reduce the transverse strength of the timber when dry, and the metallic salts are affected at the iron bolts or fastenings. The natural juices of some woods do this; and bolts which have united beams of elm and pitch pine will often corrode entirely away at the junction.

As introductory to the main subject, a few statistics iof the rapid consumption of the timber of this country, an explanation of' the causes of decay in wood, and the scientific principles which are the basis of every successful method of arresting and preventing decay, will not be out _of place. The subject of wood-preserving has not received the attention of scientific and practical men in this country, which its importance as a valuable industry demands for it. In Europe it is not only well understood, but preserved wood is generally used. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
