Summary
Details

Notes On Cement Testing compiles observations and responses related to cement testing procedures, originally submitted May 24, 1900. This document also answers a report by the Commissioners of Accounts regarding a report made March 5, 1901, by the Engineer of the Department of Highways, Borough of Brooklyn, concerning violations of specifications.

Authored by Edward Owen, this detailed record offers insight into the standards and disputes surrounding cement usage at the turn of the century. It presents a historical snapshot of engineering practices and regulatory oversight during a period of significant urban development. The work provides a valuable primary source for historians of engineering and construction, as well as those interested in the early application of material science in civil projects.
