A
Classification of Uses b y Industries
These detailed analyses or "surveys" constitute t h e body of the books. I n t h e case of the more widely used chemicals like sodium hydroxide a n d sulfuric acid, t h e survey requires several pages. On t h e other hand many newly synthesized substances appear for which only one or two uses are yet known. All uses are classified b y industries arranged alphabetically. Both general a n d specific uses are included: t h e general classification indicates whether, for example, the material acts as reagent, intermediate, solvent, softener, plasticizer, filler, reinforcing agent, reducing agent, etc. The specific classification gives the exact products in t h e manufacture of which the listed material plays a p a r t . Over 50 industries are represented. Synonyms
The first item given under each substance is its synonym. A complete cross-reference index quickly shows under which of several names each material is listed. I n most cases t h e presence of synonyms will avoid a tiresome search through dictionaries and reference books. Foreign Names
Next is given the n a m e of each substance in the most important foreign languages. French and German are invariably given and sometimes also Spanish, Italian a n d Latin, where this is of medical importance. This feature will b e of special value t o importers and to purchasing agents and salesmen having foreign contacts. Patent References
Most uses covered b y effective patents, either U. S. or foreign, are so indicated by the appropriate patent number in parentheses. This again is a time-saving feature, precluding many hours of searching in a library. T h e book does n o t pretend t o offer the results of a complete p a t e n t search, b u t the profuse references included will be of great interest and value. Vol. I I contains indexes t o all patents given in both volumes.
