CREOSOTING OF TIMBER

The article, digested from a lecture, discusses the preservation of sleepers and other forms of railway timber by the "full cell" process. Other methods of treatment and a description of Baltic Redwood and its felling, haulage, transport, and manufacture into sleepers are also dealt with, however, as well as a typical creosoting depot and its activities. The laying of the sleepers and chairing processes are given.
