Excerpt from Smokeless Powder, Nitro-Cellulose, Lose, and Theory of the Cellulose Molecule
For purposes of comparative study, the writer has brought together in the present volume a series of papers, by various investigators, upon the composition of cellulose and the properties of explosives prepared therefrom. He has supplemented these with an account of experiments made by himself; and from the whole has drawn certain conclusions as to the possible ultimate chemical composition of cellulose and the nitro-celluloses.
While the general development of war-material from the mechanical and metallurgical standpoints - the production of ordnance and armor - is so largely identified with progress in the useful arts in the United States, yet, until very recently, but little has been accomplished in our country in the way of improvement in explosives.
