MACHINE STRESS GRADING
(An alternative to visual grading of timber for strength)
By I. D. WHITESIDE
This book outlines the need for commercial machine stress
grading in New Zealand.
Stress grading studies carried out by the writer in 1967
on radiata pine from Kaingaroa Forest showed that machine
stress grading gave better grade recoveries over visual grad-
ing hence raised the value of a considerable proportion of
the sawn output in framing sizes.
The writer firmly believes that the introduction of machine
grading will held overcome the present lack of stress grades
in New Zealand. This lack of availability is thought to have
been a major cause of timber not being much more widely
used as a structural material in competition with concrete
and steel.
An informative book for builders, building inspectors, and
specifiers to prepare them for the introduction of machine
stress graded timber.

METRICS FOR JOHN AND JANE CITIZEN
By JAMES McGILL WEBB
As the name implies this book is written for use by the
layman rather than the technician, the engineer or the
scientist. This book does not include conversion tables but
rather relates to metric units and their use, comparisons
of size, and includes a wide range of metric information.
How big is a litre? What it a kilopascal? When will I
use a centimetre? What will I buy in kilograms? Why is
New Zealand going metric? If these and similar questions
are causing you concern, this book will provide the answers.
