Whether the process will prove more convenient and economical than the
original Boucherie process can only be determined by practical
application upon an extensive scale.
A considerable number of modifications and appliances for working the
Boucherie process have been patented in this country; but none of them
seems to have come into practical use, probably because of the necessity
for operating upon freshly cut logs, and the inconvenience of such
applications.
The table on this page gives a record of various experiments with
miscellaneous substances.
