Not illustrated. 1921 Excerpt: ... consisting of a few units of rectangular section there is a tendency for these units to maintain their relative positions and thus prevent bending of the box boards because of the arching effect produced. Boxes for carrying one rigid object of rectangular shape need form only a protecting envelope with perhaps little strength. Thus the strength of a box in some respects may be diminished in proportion to the amount of resistance offered by the contents to injury and deformation. Hazards of Transportation--Nothing has more influence on determining the degree of strength required in a box than the hazards of transportation. They usually tend to cause failure in boxes by one or more of three actions, viz., weaving or wrenching, puncturing or breaking various parts, or collapsing.1 The collapsing action may occur as diagonal compression between opposite corners or opposite edges, or as compression perpendicular to the ends, sides, top, and bottom. Boxes which are dropped, thrown, and rolled when being handled by hand may encounter all of these hazards, the severity of which will depend on the care exercised in doing the work. The hazards that boxes are subjected to in being conveyed by motor trucks in long distance transportation may result in considerable twisting, weaving, and jamming of the boxes, and there may be destructive compressive stresses transmitted to the boxes at the bottom of the load. The hazards of shipping by freight are at times very severe, especially those occurring during the switching and making up of trains.
