Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores preservation techniques for wooden structures, focusing on two processes developed in the late 19th century: the Seely and Bethell processes. Both methods use creosote oil to impregnate wood and prevent rot. The author, an army engineer, describes how these processes were applied to wooden platforms for guns and mortars, comparing their effectiveness and durability. The book provides a detailed analysis of the condition of these platforms over time, examining the impact of different wood types, treatment methods, and environmental factors. The author concludes that both the Seely and Bethell processes can significantly extend the life of wooden structures, with yellow pine proving to be more resistant to decay than white oak. This book offers valuable insights into the development and application of wood preservation techniques, showcasing their importance in protecting wooden structures from the elements and ensuring their longevity.
