Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Primer on the Chemical Seasoning of Douglas Fir: November 1938
Moisture moves from the center toward the surface of a piece of wood when the water in the central portion has a higher vapor pressure (analogous to steam pressure) than the water in the outer portions of the piece. In short, moisture moves from a zone of high vapor pressure to a zone of low vapor pressure just as steam would rush from a boiler having a.high steam pressure into a boiler having a low steam pressure.
