Scope and content
Plywood veneer production for Bellingham Plywood Company. Exterior type fir plywood panels for boats and other outdoor uses are fed into a giant hot press. Heat and pressure "cure" the phenolic resin adhesive, producing an irreversible bond between the plys stronger than the wood itself. By 1950, there were 67 plywood mills in operation producing 2,553,652,000 feet of plywood. ("The Plywood Age" by Robert M. Cour)
