Excerpt from Practical Silo Construction: A Treatise Illustrating and Explaining the Most Simple and Easiest Practical Methods of Constructing Concrete Silos of All Types, With Unpatented Forms and MoldsIT is the purpose of the writer to present in this series of books a complete explanation of various successful methods of concrete construction that may be employed by the beginner as well as by the more experienced worker. I shall endeavor to give the details of molds and ideas that are not covered by patents, such as may be easily and cheaply con structed, hence the reader is not compelled to pur chase expensive patented molds before putting into practise the many successful types of concrete con struction I have exhaustively described in this series. There is no practical value to the reader in explain ing a patented system of construction, other than a few words on its merits, as the owners of same are always pleased to give this information, hence in going outside the beaten track of concrete authors and presenting ideas, systems, and molds that are practical, successful in operation, and, above all, easily and simply constructed, I trust that I have merited the sincere gratitude of all fellow workers in the concrete field who seek such information.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
