- Summary
- Pathe synopsis: A reference library without a single book. That’s our introduction to the Forest Products Research Laboratory in Buckinghamshire where they conduct a wide range of experiments affecting timber. Did you know that thick blocks of wood can be steamed and bent into horseshoe shapes and that matchsticks and pit props undergo similar strength tests? And if you want to know the dangers of the death-watch beetle or the breaking strain of your roof rafters then just watch this fascinating story.
