Author Description

Excerpt from Alcohol: Its Production, Properties, Chemistry, and Industrial Applications, With Chapters on Methyl Alcohol, Fusel Oil, and Spirituous Beverages Widely scattered through scientific and technical literature are many facts and figures concerning alcohol, which in one way or another are of interest and importance not only to the professional chemist, the physicist, or the scientific investigator, but also to the manufacturer, the engineer, the technical student, the industrial research worker, and the user of a motor-car. To many among these it will, doubtless, be a convenience to have the various facts, or the most important of them, brought together and made readily accessible in a single volume such as the one now presented.
