Appendix No. 3. Kyanizing on the Eastern Railroad
The following is a condensed statement of the Eastern Railroad Co.’s experiments for wood preserving: About 1846 arrangements were made for Kyanizing track timber. The apparatus consisted of an iron cylinder 40 feet long, 4 feet in diameter; two tanks, each of same capacity as cylinder, one above and one below the cylinder; a steam boiler, with pumps, etc. The cylinder was filled with timber, closed and filled with steam, then allowed to stand for 20 minutes. This was supposed to take the sap out of the wood. The cylinder was then filled with the liquor from the upper tank, the liquor pumped in to a pressure of 150 lbs.
