PREFACE. THE preparation of this work has occupied the writers
spare moments for a number of years. Originally the matter was not
intendcd for publication, but the manu script has grown so large
and complete, mhich consideration, combined with many repeated
requests, has induced the writer to publish the matter in book
form. While all other trades and professions have their lit erature
more or less complete, the coopcrage industry has never before been
represented by any teclinical work, and appears to have been
neglected along these lines. Therefore, me trust that the t, rade
m-ill appreciate our encletzvors in bringing before them this work,
as well as the difficulties encountered in compiling it, from the
fact that it is the first of its kind in existence, and we hope
that it will eventually prove to them a valuable aid. The man that
studies and applies himself attentively to any subject, seeks to
advise his fcllom-workman or give an exposition of the general
principles of any science, industry or trade, or of ixnproving
conditions generally, often mcets at times with severe criticism.
As there seems to be present in the minds of most persons tz
certain amount of doubt and uncertainty as to the wisdom and
ability of any person to advise them in these matters, even if the
writer has been for a long time a student on the particular subject
on which he writes. Therefore, in presenting this volume, which is
launched, not as a literary effort nor as a scientific essay, but
rather as a practical discussion of principles and methods, the
writer is aware that his efforts may meet with such criticism hut
we do not desire to leave the impression that it is our own
individua1 work, or that itis an expres viii PREFACE . sion of
opinion of a single individual, but rather a poup ing together of
ideas offered by n considerable numhcr of persons connected with
the trade in its different branches, together mith data continually
collected during the authors extended career, both in this country
and in Europe, of over a quarter of a century. In regard to of
iginality, we lay claim to very little, for, although the facts
contained in a large number of the items have been gained through
years of practical experience, me are indebted to others for a
greater portion, and merely lay claim to have, as a. great poet has
said, gathered the fruits of other mens labors and bound theq mith
our own string. And we trust our efforts will present some
information that may be applied with advantage, or serve at least
as a matter of consideration or investigation. Although much of the
information contained in this volume exists in the cxpcrience of
practical men of the trade and in other technical and mechanical
worlcs, it has never before beer1 published in systematic and
accessible form and mith special application to the cooperage
industry. In every case our aim has been to give thc facts, and
wherever a machine or appliance has been illustrated or commented
upon, or the name of the maker has been mentioned, it is not Tith
the intention either of recommending or disparaging his or their
work, but are made use of merely to illustrate the text...
