Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ...we found the furnace in poor working condition because of a temporary defect in the gas supply, such that we could not regulate the temperature evenly over the entire curtain or measure it precisely by the pyrometer. After testing several curtains we therefore suspended these tests. The large sheets under these conditions made a much better showing than the small samples had made in the laboratory. Nevertheless these Chicago tests fully confirmed the conclusion, derived from our Boston tests, that asbestos cloth is rapiuly weakened by the heat of an ordinary fire to an extent that makes a curtain composed wholly of asbestos cloth an unreliable fire screen for the proscenium arch of a theater, if expected to endure more than a few minutes; and it was proved that the asbestos canvas was so weakened that it would be ruptured easily by a blow from any falling material or by a strong current of air. It was noted during these tests that the Johns curtains were found particularly weak in their horizontal threads, permitting vertical rents to be easily made. That the canvas of the other makers is similarly much less strong horizontally than it is vertically, or in the warp threads, may be seen from the Boston tests set forth in the previous table. The seams sewed with asbestos thread showed no special weakness more than the canvas. A notable feature in these furnace tests with those curtains that contained from five per cent. to eight per cent. of cotton was the flame that played all over the outer face of the cloth when the furnace was lighted, and which might be disquieting to an audience in giving for a moment an impression that the asbestos curtain was burning up. 3d Series. For the third series of tests, the friendly services of...

Book Synopsis Asbestos and Fire by : Rachel Maines
Download or read book Asbestos and Fire written by Rachel Maines and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2013-08-30 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For much of the industrial era, asbestos was a widely acclaimed benchmark material. During its heyday, it was manufactured into nearly three thousand different products, most of which protected life and property from heat, flame, and electricity. It was used in virtually every industry from hotel keeping to military technology to chemical manufacturing, and was integral to building construction from shacks to skyscrapers in every community across the United States. Beginning in the mid-1960s, however, this once popular mineral began a rapid fall from grace as growing attention to the serious health risks associated with it began to overshadow the protections and benefits it provided. In this thought-provoking and controversial book, Rachel Maines challenges the recent vilification of asbestos by providing a historical perspective on Americans’ changing perceptions about risk. She suggests that the very success of asbestos and other fire-prevention technologies in containing deadly blazes has led to a sort of historical amnesia about the very risks they were supposed to reduce. Asbestos and Fire is not only the most thoroughly researched and balanced look at the history of asbestos, it is also an important contribution to a larger debate that considers how the risks of technological solutions should be evaluated. As technology offers us ever-increasing opportunities to protect and prevent, Maines urges that learning to accept and effectively address the unintended consequences of technological innovations is a growing part of our collective responsibility.
