Extract

When engaged on war work as Chief Inspector for Fredk. Sage & Co. at Peterboro’, England, in the spring of 1918, I observed that when Honduras mahogany was compressed across the grain, and parallel, to the annular rings of the wood, a “first” or “natural” elastic limit was reached, after which the deflections increased more rapidly than the load, as has been commonly observed in all testing of all materials.
