New Booklet on Structural Redwood

Structural Redwood, with structural design data, illustrations and other information, is featured in an outstanding graphic publication just released by the California Redwood Association, 405 Montgomery Street, San Francisco.

The publication illustrates how millions of feet of structural grades of California Redwood have been used in thousands of important engineering structures where the com- tion. Pictured in the publication are more than a dozen such structures. bined qualities of strength, durability, long life, fire retardance and freedom from warping, twisting and checking are not only desirable but fundamentally necessary.

Engineers have also seen the advantages of structural grades of Redwood in water supply and irrigation projects. I\fany cities, including Sah Francisco, depend upon Redwood trestles for carrying their water supplies from varied soufces.

The economy and endurance of Structural Redwood have been proven securely in the construction of bridges on western highways. State highway departments, counties, the U. S. Forest Service and U. S, Bureau of Public Roads all offer specific examples of Structural Redwood Construc-

California and Nevada highways are protected with decay resisting Structural Redwood guard rail posts. Railroad and communication systems are long time users of Redwood, who specify structural grades for many phases of construction.

The California Redwood Association has a supply of this publication available for the use of engineers, builders, public officials and all other interested persons.
