Excerpt from The Journal of the Iron and Steel Institute, 1872, Vol. 2 No 2. - At the Roane Iron Works, Chattanooga, we watched the working of the furnaces for several days, and found that good results were being produced from an inferior quality of iron. We had several rail piles made from puddled bars alone, and all the rails were clean and good, and showed a good fibrous fracture. The books at these works showed that lbs. Coal were required per lbs. Puddled bar at the puddling furnaces, as an average over the three months August, September, and October. This includes the coal required for keeping the furnaces in during the night, as they are only worked single shift.

Over the concluding decades of the twentieth century, the historic preservation community increasingly turned its attention to modern buildings, including bungalows from the 1930s, gas stations and diners from the 1940s, and office buildings and architectural homes from the 1950s. Conservation efforts, however, were often hampered by a lack of technical information about the products used in these structures, and to fill this gap Twentieth-Century Building Materials was developed by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s National Park Service and first published in 1995. Now, this invaluable guide is being reissued—with a new preface by the book’s original editor. With more than 250 illustrations, including a full-color photographic essay, the volume remains an indispensable reference on the history and conservation of modern building materials. Thirty-seven essays written by leading experts offer insights into the history, manufacturing processes, and uses of a wide range of materials, including glass block, aluminum, plywood, linoleum, and gypsum board. Readers will also learn about how these materials perform over time and discover valuable conservation and repair techniques. Bibliographies and sources for further research complete the volume. The book is intended for a wide range of conservation professionals including architects, engineers, conservators, and material scientists engaged in the conservation of modern buildings, as well as scholars in related disciplines.
