Excerpt from Smokeless Powder, Nitro-Cellulose, Lose, and Theory of the Cellulose Molecule
For purposes of comparative study, the writer has brought together in the present volume a series of papers, by various investigators, upon the composition of cellulose and the properties of explosives prepared therefrom. He has supplemented these with an ac count of experiments made by himself and from the whole has drawn certain conclusions as to the possible ultimate chemical composition of cellulose and the nitro-celluloses.
