Excerpt from On the Arrangement, Care, and Operation of Wood-Working Factories and Machinery: Forming a Complete Operator's Handbook

In the 'Treatise on the Construction and Operation of Wood-working Machines,' it was necessary to introduce a large number of expensive engravings, and to treat of many things not directly connected with the processes of wood conversion, but relating entirely to the construction of machines. This, while it added to the value of the work for engineers and machinists, at the same time extended its cost, and placed it beyond the means of machine operators and wood mechanics generally; besides, the plan of the work did not include the practical details of shop manipulation.

In view of this fact, and further to promote the development of wood manufacture, it has been considered expedient to supplement the 'Treatise on the Construction and Operation of Wood-working Machines,' with a shorter one, directed to their care and management, including the plans of arranging and equipping factories for wood work, and particularly the details with which the practical workman has to deal.
