Custer, E. A. & Smith, F. P.—continued.
Gives as esserttials of a proper protective covering:—adhesion, non-corrosion,
toughness, elasticity and resistance to water.
Discussion.
Dudley, Charles B. Tests of paint. 22,000 w. 1904. (In Engineering
record, v.50. p.229.)
Considers only paints for metal protection. Admits that the only reliable test
is that of actual service, but believes from experiment that a paint to afford
thorough protection must be water-resistant in a greater degree than those
now available.
Gerber, E. Painting of iron structures exposed to the weather. 101 p.
1895. (In Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers,
v.22. P-485-)
With reference to best methods of rust prevention on inland structures. Describes
existing conditions, determined by inspection of more than 50 bridges;
paints used; their relative durability, and conclusions arrived at.
Discussion and correspondence.
Gill, Augustus H. &. Foster, S. A. Contributions to our knowledge
of white lead and of its protecting properties. 800 w. 1904. (In
Technology quarterly, v.17, p.145.)
Record of experiments.
Gill, Augustus H. & Johnson, C. C. Comparison of various tests applied
to paints used for the protection of iron. 1,200 w. 1903.
(In Technology quarterly, v.16, p.32.)
Harrison, Arthur B. Protective coatings for iron and steel. 2,700 w.
1906. (In Engineering record, v.54, p.9.)
Classifies protective coatings as:—1. linseed oil paints; 2. varnish and enamel
paints; 3. carbon coatings that dry by evaporation. Favors a coating of a
certain mineral wax resembling ozokerite, covered by a specially prepared
linseed oil paint.
Hay, W. J. On the protection of iron ships from oxidation and fouling.
7,000 w. 1863. (In Transactions of the Institution of Naval Architects,
v.4, p.149.)
Describes satisfactory use of author's copper oxid paint.
Hazelhurst, J. N. Painting. 25 p. 1901. (In his Towers and tanks for
waterworks, p. 172.)
Considers chemical and galvanic action upon metals, metal cleaning, and the
application of various coatings.
Job, Robert. Protection of structural work from rust. 900 w. 1906.
(In American manufacturer and iron world, v.78, p.38.)
Claims that the best quality of linseed oil used with a fine and properly prepared
pigment will efficiently protect steel for six years or longer under any
ordinary circumstances.
Results of an investigation of the durability of paints for the
protection of structural work. 6,500 w. 111. 1904. (In Journal
of the Franklin Institute, v.158, p.i.)
Attributes permanence largely to fineness of pigment.
Koller, Theodor. Praktische erfahrungen iiber rostschutzmittel und
deren bedeutung fiir die technik. 4,500 w. 1901. (In Glasers
annalen fiir gewerbe und bauwesen, v.48, p.161.)
Considers atmospheric action on metals and composition of many protective
coverings.
Koons, Charles. Protection of iron and steel in car construction, also
as applying to building material. 2,000 w. 1902. (In Proceedings
of the St. Louis Railway Club, v.7, July II, p.3.)
Attributes successful protection largely to proper cleaning before painting.
Various kinds of paint are discussed.
