DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Some Facts About Treating Railroad Ties The purpose of this book is to furnish some information as to some methods employed in this country for treating railroad cross ties, and to suggest some improvements. It has been my aim to state the facts correctly, without fear or favor, and trust that this work will prove of some value to those interested in wood preservation, and throw some light on this subject. Timber treating is comparatively in its infancy in this country and some of the methods and practices can be materially improved. Develop ment and improvement in the art of timber treating has been retarded by promoters of bogus processes and by the suppression of information and ideas that are opposed to them. The most demoralizing and dangerous elements to meritorious wood preserving in existence today are concerns which have foisted their worthless processes for treating railroad ties on some of the railroads of this country. I cannot patiently accept the present situation or allow their unwarranted assumptions to go unchallenged.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Some Facts About Treating Railroad Ties, Vol. 3: Essentials for Effective Work in Timber Treatment In France, where the creosoting of railroad ties is an old industry, heavy treatment has been the rule, forcing into the timber all of, the, creosote that it would take. In England, also, the creosoting of railroad ties is an old industry but, on the average, a somewhat smaller quantity of creosote per unit volume of timber has been used than was common practice in France. In comparisons of the practical results obtained in the two countries it has always been reported that the life obtained from creosoted ties in France was longer than in England, purely and simply because of the larger amount of material used per unit of the treated timber. If the long-standing results of experience in these countries have been correctly represented, and if any significance attaches to them, we fail to see the logic in much of the supposedly experimental work that has been done in this country. If the life of the timber depends upon the amount of preservative injected, as long-time experience seems to teach, then scrimping the material might be expected to result as scrimping usually does in other engineering work, no matter under what name or disguise the art is practiced.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Brush and Tank Pole Treatments The preservative treatment of railroad ties and piling has been practiced commercially for a number of years. About fifty treating plants are now being operated in this country, and the number increases each year. The treatment Of telephone and telegraph poles has made no such progress, yet there is a strong desire on the part of progressive users to find a satisfactory method for prolonging the life of poles. From time to time experiments have been conducted by various telephone, telegraph, and railroad companies, but either the treatment was faulty or insufficient records of the treated poles were kept, and, as a result, neither reliable data nor satisfactory conclu sions have been Obtained.
