Dictionary of Wood Technology/S.S. Sagwal. 1992, 116 p., $13.
From the preface : "The wood is useful in several ways. It passes through a long chain to be used in its final shape. Wood technology possesses a complex of terminologies. These are to be explained in their full meanings. Accordingly, the necessity was felt to gather all possible information and thus to compile the terms in the form of a dictionary. The terms have been designated with their appropriate categories, for example, the terms have been divided into wood chemistry, wood physics, wood working, wood mechanics, timber assortments, wood structure, wood seasoning, wood preservation and so on. The cross-references (Cf.) have been mentioned for the terms throughout the text.
"The supplementary data on seasoning characteristics, durability, treatability have been incorporated under the appendices so as to make it a comprehensive publication. Some more salient features (viz. Weight and Strength Coefficient) alongwith the scientific names of trees (timbers) have also been added to make it more useful for the readers." No. 7292
