Excerpt from The Manufacture and Use of Plywood and Glue The materials for this book have in the main already appeared in The Aerial Age, but the whole work has been supplemented and rearranged to make a homogeneous whole. Although originally intended for the use of the aircraft industry, the subject-matter is so complete as to be of great value to all branches of industry interested in woodwork. The present developments in joinery, cabinet-making, coach-building, and allied trades can be readily traced to the valuable experience resulting from aircraft war work; but until the publication of this volume no reference work on this subject existed for the future guidance of these trades or the aeronautic industry. The whole field of the manufacture, uses, and properties of plywood has been covered, and in the section of glues many war developments have been recorded for the first time.
