Compile Case History on Treated \7ood
What happens to "Wolmanized" treated wood after it has been installed has been made the subject of a report by H. W. Angell, R. E. Davis and W. A. McFarland of the Technical Department, American Lumber & Treating Co. A most extensive case-history file, the service records on installations covering more than 34,000,000 board feet, has been published.
The first data, presented at the 1941 annual meeting of the American Wood-Preservers' Association, has now been supplemented, summarized and brought up to date.

The oldest U.S. installation, a dye house in Cbnnecticut, is now over 24 years old and stiil sound. Over 1,000,000 board feet of the 34,000,000-foot total is between ?0 and 25 years old. The figures show that where properly treated wood is used in hard-service installations, nearly ten times as much of it will be removed because of wearing out, storm breakage, reconstruction or abandonment as will be damaged by rot or termites.
