One of the transcriber said:
Another class of projects illustrate the caviler attitude toward environment and health in 1913. These projects involve items such as asbestos, gunpowder, acetylene, hydrogen, lead, mercury, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, cadmium, potassium sulfate, potassium cyanide, potassium ferrocyanide, copper sulfate, and hydrochloric acid. Many references to these have been highlighted in red.
Projects requiring extra skill and care that involve high voltage, melting metals, or other hazards, have the title highlighted.
