Architect's Hand-Book on Cements (Classic Reprint)

Being frequently requested to give information regarding the proper use of cements, we determined to collect in convenient form some of the specifications and formulae for mixing and using cements as recommended by the leading authorities and to whom we are indebted for the information contained in these pages. Under Bibliography will be found a list of some of the principal authorities on cement. We desire to take this opportunity to express our appreciation and gratitude for the many kindnesses extended by our friends. We are especially indebted toM r. Christian Devries, President of theN ational Bank of Baltimore, our depositary since our firm started in business in 1867; also toM essrs. Emil Thiele of New York; The Newark Lime and Cement Manufacturing Co.; The Calumet Fire Clay Co., of Calumet, Ohio; and I. C. Johnson Co., of Gateshead-on-T yne, England.
