camphorwood. 
SMALL CLEAR BEAMS 
In tests on small clear beams ‘the load is applied at the center 
of the span, and a special deflectometer is used for measuring 
deflection. A small beam under test is shown in fig. 4.

COMPRESSION PARALLEL TO GRAIN 
Fig. 5 shows the method of making tests in compression par- 
allel to grain. The ends of the specimen are carefully squared, 
and it is then placed, with the grain vertical to the base of the 
machine, upon a flat block having a spherical bearing, which
