Excerpt from Modern Glues and Glue Testing, Vol. 1: Other Than Water Proof Glues When the United States entered the great war and it became necessary to build airplanes by thousands, very definite specifications and satisfactory methods of testing glues were sorely needed. The problem of developing specifications and methods of test was turned over to the Forest Products Laboratory and was worked out under my direction. This book is based largely on the results that were obtained, and which were applied in practically all purchases of glue during the war by both the Army and Navy. Departments. General information on the manufacture and use of glues is given, and a description of the methods of testing that are described in the literature on the subject. Acknowledgement is made to Mr. A. T. Deinzer of Monroe, Mich., who contributed valuable information used in compiling this book; also to Mr. Geo.M. Hunt of the Forest Products Laboratory for valuable suggestions and criticisms and for contributions to parts of the text, and to Mr. L. J. Markwardt, Mr. A.C. Knauss, and Mr. Wilbur Lloyd Jones, of the Forest Products Laboratory, for contributions to the text. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
