Excerpt from Cement Pipe and Tile: Advantages of Cement for Pipe and Tile, Methods of Manufacture, Tests, Cost, Etc

The period of development in the application of cement to human needs has also seen the extension of sewer systems to serve by far the larger part of our urban population. Cement has already worked into this field to a considerable extent, and the number of machines for the manufacture of cement sewer pipe which are just now coming onto the market would seem to indicate that the development along this line is to follow largely the growth of the drain tile industry. From present indica tions the writer feels warranted in predicting that this will be the next most phenomenal development with which concrete is connected.

Excerpt from Cement Pipe and Tile: Advantages of Cement for Pipe and Tile, Methods of Manufacture, Tests, Cost, Etc

The earlier edition of this book was written less than three years ago; and yet the present volume is as different from it as one could well imagine. This wide difference is but proof of the rapid development which has taken place in the industry in the intervening time, and is, it would seem, sufficient justification for this new edition.

The wish of the writer is that it may merit the many kind words which have been spoken and written concerning its predecessor, and that it may be a real help in the upbuilding of what he believes is destined to be one of the most important lines of endeavor in the use of cement.

This book is not intended to be the final word on the subject, for the writer believes that succeeding years will show many important developments which will require subsequent editions. The invitation is therefore extended, as before, to all who are interested in the subject to send in any material which they believe would be of interest.

That this is, as before, very largely a compilation, goes without saying. While the writer has probably visited as many pipe and tile plants as any other one person, he has also drawn freely on other sources of information, which he wishes here to acknowledge.

It is believed that the new form into which the matter has been cast will make it much more easy of access. The aim has been to bring together in one place, as far as possible, all matter relating to each phase of the industry. They are so inter-related, however, that this has not been possible in every case; but it is hoped that the side headings and index will assist the reader in developing to its full extent the information which the book contains.
