Produktbeschreibung
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 The object of this Company is to introduce a cheap and effective process for preserving timber, both from decay by rot when exposed to the action of moisture, air and heat upon land, and from the attacks and ravages of the innumerable marine worms that infest the waters along the coast. Besides protection from decay, this process improves the natural qualities of the timber, by increasing its hardness or density, its flexibility, elasticity and strength; prevents its expansion and contraction, and reduces its combustibility. It also favors the application of various persistent colors to the different varieties of wood. The apparatus employed in this process was invented some sixteen years ago, in Hungary, by A. Hamar, who has by letters patent from the United States secured the right to its exclusive use here, in impregnating timber with certain substances. This Patent has been assigned to this Company. In order to realize the great advantages which the method of preserving timber offered by this Company possesses over all others which have heretofore been presented to the public, it may be pertinent to consider the purposes to which timber is applied, and the enormous consumption for some of those purposes, - the importance of durability of timber, its growth and composition, the nature and causes of its decay, the effect of the attacks of worms, the means of preservation to which resort has been heretofore had, and the use which can be made of the softer and more perishable sorts of timber, when preserved and improved by this means.
