[Greenbuilding] Old Hydrated Lime Text Book available as a pdf file.

[Chris Green]

A book with the unwieldy title,  Hydrated Lime: History, Manufacture and 
Uses in Plaster-Mortar-Cement: A Manual The Architect, Engineer, 
Contractor, and Builder,  by E.W. Lazell, Ph. D,(Engineering), printed 
in 1915, is available for download as a pdf file at the Internet 
Archives/ Open Library link which follows.

The pdf file runs to 22 Megabytes and 104 pages, so it takes 
considerable time to download. However, it might be a valuable resource 
for those interested in the things it discusses. This is one of two 
books found in a search for 'lime, plaster' at this site.

As well, there is a 649 Kbyte pdf file entitled Handbook Of Formulae And 
Physical Constants available, and which was uploaded to this site last 
night.

This could also be a valuable reference book, and takes much less time 
to download.

There are at least 237,466 texts and other "items" available here as well.
