Synopsis
Excerpt from Natural Rock Asphalts and Bitumens: Their Geology, History, Properties and Industrial Application
The Writer takes this Opportunity of acknowledging his intense appreciation of the unstinted permission afforded him by Professor Clifford Richardson, of New York, to make reference to the contents of his well-known work, The Modern Asphalt Pavement in those parts of this present volume devoted to American bitumens. Nor can he conclude without expressing his deep sense of gratitude to Mr. H. W. Brant, of Newcastle-ou Tyne, by whom the matter dealing with the practical application of rock asphalt mastic has been almost entirely written. As the outcome of many years of close attention to the practical side of this industry, his remarks can hardly be otherwise than of the greatest value to the practical user of this material.
