Before the partition of India, the Indian sports goods Industry was concentrated in or near Sialkot and the main timber used for the industry was mulberry (Morus alba) supplied from the Chhanga Manga and Lahore Plantations. All these places have now gone into Pakistan territory. Sports goods manufacturers who migrated into India, have been trying to re-establish their old industry but are confronted with the lack of a suitable timber and the matter was represented to the Government. Timber for sports goods must possess a combination of a number of special properties. Ash timber has been used in Europe and America. Indian mulberry was found to be suitable and the demand was met so long from large plantations in West Punjab. Mulberry plantations are also being raised in Uttar Pradesh and the Andamans. The experiments described in this leaflet were undertaken to do a preliminary survey of the properties of the timber produced by these plantations. It is gratifying to note that the plantations are producing suitable timber for meeting the needs of the sports goods Industry. As it is a valuable tree for other purposes also, mulberry deserves to be raised on a larger scale in favourable localities.- Standard Terminology for Describing Timbers

It is found that lack of recognized conventions in the use of proper adjectives for describing the properties of timbers often leads to confusion. For instance, in giving the weightiness of a timber, the adjective "heavy" has been used to denote the weight per cubic ft. of seasoned timber for various magnitudes such as 50 to 60 lbs. in one case, 39 to 49 lbs. in another, 40 to 49 lbs. in the third and 42 to 49lbs. in the fourth case by different authors. Similarly in telling the hardness of a timber, writers use the feel they experience in cutting it by a pen-knife. This feel depends upon the sharpness of the knife, the hardness of the steel of which it is made, the moisture content of the timber and above all, the personal factor of the writer. An attempt is made in this article to standardize the meanings of various descriptive adjectives by giving them as far as possible, some definite quantitative interpretations in order to avoid the state of confusion that exists, and ensure uniformity. Teak has been taken as the standard of comparison of all our timbers, as it is the most widely used and well-known timber, and the physical and mechanical properties of all other timbers are compared with those of teak by specially prepared comparative suitability index figures which have already been published. Indian species have been classified in this article according to their characteristics of weight, strength as a beam, hardness, shock resisting ability and retention of shape. Description of five species is given at the end as an example of the use of the proposed terminology.- Interlocking of Grain in Indian Timbers

Interlocking of grain to a smaller or greater extent is a characteristic of a majority of Indian wood species. Grain has been described so far from experience of working with the timbers. An attempt has been made in this Bulletin to measure the deviation of grain and divide the species into seven groups as a step towards standardization of descriptions of wood species.- Timber Testing in India
