End qnd Edge Gluing Survey by TECO to Continue

Washington-J1yo of the fastest developing fields of u'ood processing-end gluing of short lengths into long ones and edge gluing of narrorv strips into u'ide parrelsare the sul>ject of a research project by Timber Engineering Company, research alfiliate of the National Lumber llanufacturers Association, according to Carl A. Rishell, vicepresident.

The survey n,ill investigate nerv developments taking place in clesign and construction of machinery, applications of errcl and edge gluing to standard or new rvood products, ancl nen'designs n'l.rich rvi1l be basic in the devetopment of higl.r-strength j oints.

Irxisting and potential adrrantages of end ancl edge gluing htrve generated increasing interest among lumber and wood procluct manufacturers and prompted the development of many new macl-rines and assembly methocls.

Only in recent years have plants been constructed for integrated end and edge gluing processes. It is expected that much valuable information u-ill be cleveloped during the current investigation on plant layouts, nature of products produced, and u,aste and cost figttres.
