FOREST SERVtCE AIDS
IN AiRPLANE PROGRAM
| Finds Method of Conditioning
Wood to Take Place of Air
Drying Method.
When the I'nited States entered the
war the neeil for wood to build air
j planes quickly created a difficult prob
j leiu. Most of the air-seasoued wood
available had been bought for air
planes for the allied nations abroad.
Thorough air seasoning of such stock
requires from one to three years, ac
I cording to the slue and kind of wood.
Kiln-dried stock under the methods
I ordinarily u<ed has frequently proved
unsatisfactory, and for that reason air
plane manufacturers have been re
luctant to use It. If the ueed* of the
fighting forces were to be met ade
quately anil without prolonged delay,
it was essential that methods of con
ditioning should be available in which
I full confidence could be placed.
Long before this situation developed
the forest products' laboratory of the
forest service, at Madison, Wig., had
beeu making a scientific study of the
dryipg of wood, and had developed a
method of drying which has been very
successful with all the woods dried.
Several kilns have been built at the
laboratory for experimental purposes
and a number of demonstrations made
in commercial kilns. Ash and sprttce
are the woods most iu demand for air
plane construction, and. anticipating
the present situation, the forest serv
ice procured a shipment of partly air
seasoned ash and spruce plank for
preliminary tests.
