While at one time itwas thecustom to employ such lumber ascould beobtainedfrom species of wood growing in close proximity to theinaiiufacturing plant, in order to avoid long hauls by landor water, such custom has changed considerably. This hasbeen brought about by manufacturers recogiiizing the factthat tlie economy achieved by avoiding long freight hauls,was many times entirely lost and such losses are sometimesdoubled and trebled because the roduct provesitself unsatisfactory from the standpoint ofendurance andimmediate wear resistance, besides entailing costly adjustmeritsto satisfy the consumer of the product.The other item in durable and economical constructionis found in the nails that are used to assemble w holdtogether the joti. Nails have evoluteil from [-he simple woodpeg of the ancients to the most elaborately and acientificallydesigned forms, sizes and shapes. This scientificilevelopineot of the nail has been brought about by constantlychangingconclitions in tlie art of wood constructionas well as by the much more strenuous requirements ofconcentrated packages (sometimes of considerable weight)and long and grinding hauls in the h:gh speed transportationsystems of the present day.The simple form of the ordinary nail has been changedand modified so as to meet highly specialized requirements.Not only the length and gauge of the nail has been changedbut the shape of the point and head have been altered,..arious types of barbing have been developed, as welt asnails with double heads, capable of being driven to definitedepths and then being readily withdrawn in order LO re-usethe lumber which was einplo e(l irt these temporary structuressuch as shoreings and forms for concrete placement.Other types of nails are made headless or with very srfiallheads with special fillister so as to draw in close as forflooring and trim nailing. The change in the typesof roofingemployed has made necessary tile development of s ecialldesigned nails for each variety of roofing, some of whichlire not driven at all but are used to keep the. sectioy orshingles flat and in alignment no matter what the weatherconditions may be to which the root is subjected. Other

7 2 American Steel & Wire Comnanvnails in a wide array of sizes have been developed for thenailing of boxes, crates, and other containers, each intendedfor some special PI-oiluct. Not only the shape and size,however, have been altered, even the analysis of the steelhiis been m;icle to confor111 to the requireiiients of the nail.Other metals besides steel have been adopted for highlyspecific purposes, hence we find nails made of solid copper,bronze, or brass and most recently the new corrosionresistant steels known as stainless. These-latter employalloys of Chromium and Nickel combined with steel to i\enails properties hardly dreamed of only ;I decade ago. heyare free from rusting even in strong brine solutions andmost of the ordinary acids. These corrosion resistingproperties are ol particular interest to producers of cantainersfor meals and other foods. The same is true olf theconstruction of vats and flumes subjected to more or less.corrosive liquids in storage or transit, and for mnritimepurposes. A nail that is properly selected for the work itis to do, will not split the wood, this splitting being determinedby the shape of the point of tin: nail zirn-l tlie gaugcand length as cumpared tu the thickness aiicl varirty ofthe woocl in which it is used.All thiiigs behig LYILI~I, the lighter gauges am1 lengths ;irethe most econoiniciil to use as there are more nails to thepound. This, on large nailing operations, ii~iounts to quitean item where ii specitieil number of nails are to lie usedas in a box or crate.There are, however, other factors besides economy whichdetermine just what length and gauge of nail is to heemployed.The usefulness of any nail, regardless of size, depends onits "Holcling: Power" in any given v;iriety of wood. Todetermine this "Holding Po\verU elaborate experiments andtests have been niade by the Forest Service of tin; U. S.Dept. of Agriculture in co-opcrsition with the Universi'tyof Wisconsin at ftladison. These tests have been carried onfor a considerable period of time with apparatus designedespecially lor the purpose, thus st:iiid:ird~zing the resultsand making it possible to plot the findings so as to obtaina true picture of tlie factors involved ancl their relation toeach other. To summarize these findings briefly:The holding power of a nail is dependent on the closenessof the fibvrs making up the wood in which the nail isused. This being the case there seems to be ;I c)efinitcrelatrtiii bctçeui the holding power ul the nail and thespecific gravity based on volume arnl weight of oven drywood. Green wood with a high moisture content has ahigher holrling poi\ er tlian (!ry wood.The hulclintr nou'er of I he nail decreases as the wood- - ~merican- 1- ¥ mcSteel & Wire Company 7 3wood fibers with the itail is cliielly end grain, a lunchhigher holding power can be assumed than would be thecase if such contact were chiefly side grain.If the nail is originally driven into wood that has beenproperly seasoned, it is safe to assume that this holdinguower will increase with time. This is oarticularlv true ofthe softer tvnes of wood. The holdinc bower of the nail isinfluenced by the surface of the n:ifi,special coatings ortreatments of this surface being capable of increasing theI holding power from ten to forty percent over an untreatedor plain nail.The type of nail which causes the smallest amount ofdistortion in the fibres of the wood into which it is drivenwill have tlie greatest holding power.Points of nails influence the holding power of a nail indirect proportion to the amount of distortion which theyproduce in the wood fibre. Rlunt points penetrate the m~--face layers without splitting, but produce a niaxiimunamount of fibre distortion in the deeper layers. Very sharppoints and long diamond points favor splitting particularlyit1 hard dense woods,The ordinary nail with its moderately sharp point andshort angles distorts wood fibres least and produces only amoderate amount of splitting.'Light weight woods which show little tendency to split 'can advantageously be nailed with sharp pointed nailsthereby securing somewhat greater holding power. Denserspecies of wood which have greater splitting tendencies mayoffset all of the gain in holding power secured from a sharpmint by this tendency to split, while the use of a veryhint point to overcome the splitting tendency may resultin low holding power due to fiber distortion in the moreimnterior layers of wood fibers.All conditions being equal, a blunt tapered nail will givethe best all around results as in the heavier woods it is fullyequal in holdi'ng power to tlie common point nail with lesssplitting tendency while in the lighter woods it nearlyequals the common point nail.Light weight woods with relatively low nail hoktingpower are just as suitable for certain purposes as are theheavier and denser grained woods as they offer the opportunityto use nails of larger diameter, greater length orincreased numbers to compensate for the short-comings inthe wood without danger ot splitting.Properly cement coated nails have approximately twicethe holding power of plain untreated nails. The new aciiletclied nails have about 40% greater holding power tliaii-r mrthe best cement coated nails.tThe average density and nail holding power of 51 speciesof wood, based on a 7d cement coated nail is shown inthe following table:. - --'I
