Summary |
The authors have endeavored to present features which may be overlooked or forgotten by the experienced man, and as far as possible have avoided technicalities. The chemical terms mentioned are merely form a fire insurance standpoint, so as to aid in determining whether or not a certain material is hazardous. The brevity of some of the subjects is due to the desire to cite only the necessary data, with the thought in mind that any reader interested in any particular subject can secure more detailed information from books on the shelves of insurance libraries. At the present time there are very few manufacturing processes about which nothing has been written.
While strictly a fire insurance work, this book is intended also for use of members of fire departments, fire prevention bureaus, warehousemen, fire marshals, factory engineers and others employed in the conservation of life and property.
