Modern Paper-Making

Abstract

This, the third edition of Clapperton's book, covers then recent advances in wood pulp and pulps from other materials in Great Britain, Scandinavia, and North America. The author notes that "quite revolutionary changes in the methods of preparation of paper-stock have also taken place, and new machinery has been introduced, which in some cases has made obsolete the plant which was in use before the war. [World War II] There have also been important improvements in the use of suction-rolls and vacuum transfer on the paper-machines, and very definite improvements in the paper-finishing equipment, such as slitters and cutters. The book's twenty-seven cover such topics as the history of papermaking and the manufacturing of newsprint. This edition has advertisements for different papermaking plants.
