Prepared by participants in the 1968 National Defense Education Act Institute on Wood Technology, this syllabus is one of a series of basic outlines designed to aid college level industrial arts woodworking instructors in improving and broadening the scope and content of their programs. The manual consists of a brief introduction followed by seven major unit topics, including: (1) Laminated Timbers, (2) Kerf Binding, (3) Bending of Plywood, (4) Bending Steamed or Boiled Wood, (5) Lamination Bending, (6) Bag Moulding of Plywood, and (7) Anhydrous Ammonia Bending. Most units contain descriptive and explanatory information objectives, content outlines, drawings and diagrams, suggested procedures, and uses of the materials produced. Supplementary materials include a list of films and filmstrips, a glossary, a bibliography, and reference and instructional aids.
