BOOKLET ON BRIDGE TIMBERS 



The National Lumber Manufacturers' 

 Association recently issued a booklet on 

 Timber Highway Bridges, prepared by 

 C. E. Paul, construction engineer. The 

 booklet discusses the general use of wood 

 in bridge construction, location and sub- 

 structures, types of framing, floors and 

 wearing surfaces, joints and metal details, 

 quality and kind of lumber used, preserva- 

 tion of bridge timbers and plans of timber 

 highway bridges. 



Up to this time there has been a lack of 

 definite data on this subject, although con- 

 crete and iron manufacturers had a mass 

 of material available for bridge builders. 

 The booklet can be had on application, free 

 of charge, by addressing the National Lum- 

 ber Manufacturers' Association, Chicago, 

 Illinois.
