"Science In Sugar Production: An Introduction To Methods Of Chemical Control" by Thomas Hawkins Percy Heriot. This early 20th-century manual argues that the sugar factory should be understood as a device for converting cane into crystals, and that economic success depends on rigorous chemical control. It originates from a series of articles on Simple Methods of Chemical Control and was revised for readers in the sugar industry. The work explains how chemical analysis and accurate sampling underpin data used to judge performance, guide improvements, and manage costs across the field and factory. It outlines the multiple roles of the chemist, from daily control to testing new processes and evaluating stores, and discusses the moves toward centralization and larger factories. The volume then guides practical laboratory work: setting up a laboratory, weighing and measuring, preparing solutions, and performing density measurements and optical analyses with the polariscope to determine sugar content. It closes with Part III, Simple Methods of Chemical Control, covering the mill, clarification, imports, exports, and the avoidance of losses, plus an equipment appendix.
