Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Print on Demand. This book is a record of hearings held by the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce of the United States House of Representatives, circa 1904, to consider a proposed bill that would promote safety in the transportation of high explosives. The bill sought to address a series of explosions that led to severe loss of life and property in the years prior to its consideration. The author, an inspector for the Pennsylvania Railroad, presented testimony to the committee about the dangers of transporting high explosives. He explained that faulty manufacturing processes, which, in turn, cause unstable and volatile compounds, are the primary cause of explosions. The inspector described how acid left in contact with nitroglycerin makes it more sensitive and liable to explode from shock. He also emphasized the need for proper packaging to prevent leakage during transportation, which can lead to explosions when nitroglycerin comes in contact with other materials. This book provides valuable insights into the early 20th-century regulation of high explosives and the safety measures that were instituted to protect the public from their transportation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
