THE  PRODUCERS'  COUNCIL 

INCORPORATED 
Affiliated  with 

THE  AMERICAN  INSTITUTE  OF  ARCHITECTS 

1 9  West  44th  Street 
NEW  YORK,  N.  Y. 


JOHN  F.  GOWEN 
Executive  Secretary 


The  Council  and  Its  Membership 

The  Producers'  Council,  Incorporated,  is  a 
national  organization  of  manufacturers  and  asso- 
ciations of  manufacturers  of  building  materials 
and  equipment.  All  responsible  American  manu- 
facturers of  quality  building  products,  who  are 
in  sympathy  with  the  aims  of  The  Council  and 
otherwise  meet  the  membership  requirements,  are 
welcomed  to  rhembership. 

Objects  of  the  Council 

( 1 )  To  promote  better  mutual  understanding  between 
architects,  engineers,  contractors  and  producers  of  build- 
ing materials. 

(2)  To  make  more  effective  the  services  rendered  by 
each  in  relation  to  the  others  and  to  the  public. 

(3)  To  promote  every  legitimate  interest  of  pro- 
ducers of  building  materials  and  equipment. 

(4)  To  establish  and  maintain  standards  in  building 
which  will  encourage  the  production  of  dependable 
materials,  good  construction,  meritorious  architecture 
and  sound  trade  practices. 

Facilities  for  Carrying  Out  Its  Objects 

All  activities  of  the  Council  are  directed  towards  attain- 
ment of  these  objectives.  The  Council  provides  facilities 
for  discussion  of  mutual  problems  and  for  constructive 
action  toward  their  solution  by  periodic  meetings  of 
the  members;  through  the  Council  Office,  through 
joint  activities  and  meetings  with  other  organized 
groups  in  the  building  field ;  and  through  local  Council 
Clubs, 

Affiliation  of  The  Council  with  the  American  Institute 
of  Architects  and  membership  in  the  Construction  Lea- 
gue, representing  all  elements  of  the  construction  indus- 


try, give  manufacturers  of  quality  products  an 
influential  voice  in  dealing  with  problems  vital  to 
their  interests  and  to  the  welfare  of  the  industry. 

Producers'  Council  Clubs 

Producers'  Council  Clubs  have  been  organized' 
in  several  large  cities  to  promote  locally  the  ob- 
jects of  The  Council.  They  function  under  regu- 
lations of  the  national  body.  Membership  is  con- 
fined to  representatives  of  Council  members. 

The  Clubs  promote  better  acquaintance  and  closer 
co-operation  between  member  representatives,  archi- 
tects, engineers  and  local  building  interests.  They  pro-- 
vide  facilities  for  study  of  mutual  problems,  promote 
mutual  welfare  and  better  understanding  of  the  quali- 
fications and  economic  use  of  quality  products.  A  steadijr 
growth  of  interest  on  the  part  of  architects  and  pvQ>- 
ducers  evidences  the  valuable  service  these  clubs  render 
to  both  members  and  allied  building  interests. 

On  the  following  page  is  a  list  of  the  Clubs  already 
organized. 

As  Council  membership  increases  and  local  need  indi- 
cates additional  Clubs  will  be  organized  with  consequent: 
increasing  benefit  to  all  concerned. 

Community  of  Interest 

The  Council  recognizes  the  common  interest  that  em- 
braces all  factors  of  the  building  industry.  Through  its 
affiliation  with  the  American  Institute  of  Architects  and 
the  Construction  League,  and  with  growing  interest  and 
support  by  responsible  manufacturers  it  is  admirably 
fitted  to  foster  improved  conditions  in  the  industry  and| 
better  service  to  the  public. 


TEN  PRINCIPLES 
Adopted  by  The  Producers'  Council  at  Its 

(1)  That  business  only  will  endure,  whose  product  is  essen- 
tial, and  which  is  founded  on  the  broad  conception  of  service  to, 
not  exploitation  of,  the  customer. 

(2)  Such  a  product  and  such  service  are  entitled  to  a  fair 
return.  To  justify  this  requires  that  standards  of  quality  in 
manufacture  and  service  be  maintained  and  their  improvement 
striven  for  constantly. 

(3)  Cordial  patronage  often  depends  upon  the  customer*s 
sense  of  free  choice  in  selecting  materials  and  services. 

(4)  Extravagant  claims  regarding  product  performance  tend 
to  provoke  from  others  similar  claims  of  contradictory  import, 
tending  to  confuse  the  consumer  and  destroy  his  confidence. 

(5)  Inappropriate  use  of  a  product  reacts  eventually  to  in- 
jure a  proper  esteem  of  the  product  for  appropriate  use.  Adver- 
tising and  sales  effort  should  consider  this  possibility. 

(6)  Intelligent  advertising  and  sales  effort  abstain  from  re- 
flection upon  responsible  competitors  or  disparaging  statements 
regarding  their  products  and  services. 


OF  BASIC  POLICY 

Seventh  Semiannual  Meeting,  Oct.  28,   

(7)  Fair  statement  of  relative  merit  and  ^Jhe;  pubU'cation  of 
scientific  data  giving  correctly  the  comparatiipti- tesli  imdings  of  a 
competent  impartial  authority  are  admissiWk-  "vy;^lw^rc  necessary  to 
rightful  business  and  consuming  interest^;. 

(8)  An  individual  enterprise  is  juc\§<^  the  strongest 
force  in  human  affairs.

(For  District  Offices,  see  page  23) 

DODGE  REPORTS  DEFINED 

Dodge  Report  Service  is  a  news  service,  issued  daily, 
giving  all  essential  facts  -about  construction  activity, 
present  and  contemplated,  on  building  and  engineering 
projects.  It  covers  the  territory  east  of  the  Rocky  Moun- 
tains. This  area,  the  37  eastern  states,  normally  inckides 
about  91  per  cent  of  the  construction  vokime  of  the 
entire  country.  Dodge  Report  Service  is  the  only  daily 
l)uilding  news  service  that  has  more  than  limited  local 
coverage. 

Private  projects,  alterations  and  additions,  and  Federal, 
State,  County  and  Municipal  projects  of  all  kinds  are 
reported.  Names  and  addresses  of  owners,  architects,  en- 
gineers, l)id(lers  and  contractors  are  given,  together  with 
the  location,  condition  and  description  of  the  job. 

Each  report  is  issued  on  an  individual  slip  of  paper 
()  X  3ys  inches.  (See  Fig.  1).  The  reports  are  mailed 
each  evening  to  subscribers  from  13  issuing  offices. 
The  service  each  subscriber  receives  consists  of  re- 
ports selected  by  hand  to  meet  the  individual  needs  of 
those  who  specify  and  buy  building  products  and  those 
who  sell  them.  This  important  and  exclusive  Dodge 
feature  is  described  on  the  next  page,  under  the  heading 
''SELECTIVITY". 


HOW  NEWS  IS  COLLECTED 

The  information  issued  in  Dodge  Reports  is  collected 
by  our  own  staff  of  trained  news  gatherers.  This  staff  of 
more  than  600  persons,  the  largest  reportorial  organization 
of  the  kind  in  the  country,  makes  more  than  950,400  per- 
sonal calls  and  736,000    calls  in  gathering  news 
each  year.  Every  item  of  news  is  verified  prior  to 
release  by  a  responsible  person  directly  connected  with 
the  job. 

This  news  comes  from  some  135,000  sources  including 
owners,  real  estate  brokers,  financial  institutions,  archi- 
tects, engineers,  contractors  and  other  reliable  sources. 
These  sources  are  contacted  regularly,  some  daily.  A 
special  corps  of  reporters  spends  full  time  in  Washington, 
keeping  in  close  touch  with  every  Federal  department 
and  bureau  concerned  with  construction.  A  Dodge  re- 
porter attends  every  important  bid  opening  in  Dodge 
territory.  Thousands  of  new\spapers  are  read  and  checked 
against  our  active  jol)  files,  but  no  newspaper  item  is 
released  until  all  details  have  been  verified. 

The  news  gathered  by  our  reporters  is  delivered  or 
transmitted  by  teletypewriter,  ,  telegraph,  or 
fast  mail  to  our  issuing  offices,  where  it  is  edited  and 
immediately  released  to  subscribers.  Dodge  Reports  are 
dependable.

Fig.  .1 — By  means  of  Dodge  Reports,  those  who  supply  materials  and  services  know  which

when  they  need  it.  A  typical  Dodge  Report,  exact  size,  is  illustrated  above. 


DODGE    CONSTRUCTION  REPORTS

F.  W.  DODGE  CORPORATION 


HOW  ARCHITECTS  BENEFIT 

It  is  natural  that  architects  should  have  been  quick  to 
see  the  advantages  of  giving  Dodge  reporters  news  of 
their  projects.  By  giving  this  news  to  Dodge,  they  are 
able  without  cost  to  advise  the  industry  about  the  work 
in  their  offices.  By  doing  this,  not  only  do  they  save  num- 
erous sales  calls  that  would  otherwise  be  made  upon  them, 
but  also  they  learn  of  new  materials  and  methods  specially 
adapted  to  work  on  their  boards.  Indeed,  if  this  news  were 
withheld,  the  architects  would  have  to  engage  a  corps  of 
reception  clerks  to  answer  the  flood  of  questions  from 
the  host  of  persons  who  would  call  to  learn  what  w^ork 
an  architect  was  doing. 

Quite  aside  from  the  personal  aspect  of  the  service 
Dodge  renders  architects,  there  is  the  larger  economic 
view.  Perhaps  the  most  important  reason  why  architects 
profit  by  giving  news  to  Dodge  is  because  reduction  of 
distribution  costs  presents  one  of  the  most  important 
problems  affecting  the  whole  construction  industry.  The 
cost  of  finding  out  what  work  there  is  and  who  has  it  is 
very  great.  If  each  manufacturer  and  contractor  had  to 
develop  this  essential  information  for  himself,  each  would 
have  to  spend  the  equivalent  hundreds  of  thousands  of 
dollars  which  Dodge  spends.  With  Dodge  doing  it  for  all, 
we  can  distril)ute  the  information  at  a  small  fraction  of 
the  initial  cost.  In  this  way  Dodge  makes  a  major  con- 
tribution to  the  reduction  of  selling  costs  \yhich  means 
just  one  thing:  lower  prices  and  more  building. 

SELECTIVITY 

The  selective  method  by  which  Dodge  Reports  are  is- 
sued is  a  chief  reason  why  this  news  service,  established 
in  ,  has  been  successful  in  keeping  the  professional, 
technical,  structural  and  manufacturing  groups  of  the  con- 
struction industry  advised  of  the  activities,  needs  and  op- 
portunities occurring  from  day  to  day  in  this  far  flung 
industry. 

While  Dodge  Reports  give  all  essential  information  on 
construction  projects  of  every  kind,  and  while  a  complete 


series  of  reports  is  issued  on  each  project,  few  organiza- 
tions have  need  for  all  this  information.  The  selective 
method  of  issuing  was  developed  in  order  that  the  sub- 
scriber would  receive  only  the  reports  needed  and  so  know- 
just  which  architects  to  see.  This  selectivity  is  accomp- 
lished by  a  selective  service  form  which  the  subscriber 
checks.  (See  form  on  page  11  of  this  catalog.)  Reports 
are  selected  as  to  (1)  location  of  project,  (2)  type  of 
project,  (3)  construction  status  of  i)roject,  (4)  valuation 
of  project,  and  (5)  sub-contract  information.

Tbis  selectivity  saves  time  and  money  for  everybody, 
making  it  easy  for  those  who  need  each  other  to  get  to- 
gether at  the  proper  time.  The  general  contractor  knows 
which  architects  to  see  and  when  to  call.  This  saves  him 
money,  gives  him  more  time  on  the  job,  as  he  spends  less 
time  selling.  The  sub-contractor  knows  which  general 
contractors  are  in  need  of  estimates  for  his  trade.  The 
bank  vault  salesman  does  not  call  on  the  architect  who  is 
designing  a  residence. 

Another  reason  why  architects  are  ready  to  cooperate 
with  Dodge  reporters  is  because  a  sympathetic  under- 
standing has  developed  between  them  and  our  reporters. 
They  repose  confidence  in  us,  and  no  rule  is  more  rigidly 
enforced  throughout  our  news  gathering  staflP  than  that 
prohibiting  the  violation  of  any  confidence  placed  with  us 
by  an  architect. 

But  let  the  architect  speak  for  himself.  He  knows  why 
Dodge  Reports  benefit  him.  On  the  following  pages  a  few 
letters  from  leading  architects  are  reproduced.  ^  These 
letters  set  forth  the  reasons  why  architects  find  it  good 
business  to  give  news  of  their  work  to  Dodge  reporters.

WHY  ARCHITECTS  GIVE  NEWS  TO  DODGE 


Architects  and  engineers  throughout  the  Dodge  terri- 
tory welcome  the  Dodge  reporter  when  he  calls,  and  teill 
him  about  the  work  they  are  doing.  They  do  not  do  this 
entirely  out  of  friendliness,  nor  because  Dodge  supplies 
them  with  Sweet's  Catalog  File.  They  realize  it  is  good 
business  for  them  to  give  news  to  Dodge,  as  shown  by 
the  following  letters : 

From  the  Office  of  Paul  Philippe  Cret 

"We  have  found  your  reports  of  real  assistance  when 
l)ids  are  taken,  in  bringing  inquiries  of  manufacturers 
and  salesmen  at  the  time  when  they  are  most  needed  to 
give  the  information  which  they  alone  can  furnish.  A 
central  news  agency  saves  much  time  of  individual  offices 
in  keeping  record  of  the  progress  of  projected  work." 

From  the  Office  of  Holabird  &  Root 

"Believing  that  Dodge  Reports  is  an  excellent  medium 
for  the  distribution  of  information  to  contractors,  manu- 
facturers and  material  men,  we  have  been  glad  to  give 
you  information  on  projects  in  which  we  were  interested. 

"By  giving  your  service  such  information,  we  were  re- 
lieved of  much  of  the  annoyance  of  personal  calls  and 
loss  of  time  through  untimely  visits  of  salesmen  and 
contractors'  representatives. 

"You  were  particularly  helpful  in  the  announcement  of 
bidding  dates,  the  listing  of  competing  contractors  and 
the  publishing  of  contracts  awarded.  Your  Sweet's  Cata- 
log File  helps  us  materially  in  the  selection  of  materials 
and  their  application. 

"For  these  reasons,  you  may  continue  to  expect  our 
fullest  cooperation  during  the  coming  year." 


From  the  Office  of  Taylor  &  Fisher 

"We  have  always  felt  that  Dodge  Reports  constituted 
the  best  medium  for  keeping  architects,  engineers,  con- 
tractors and  all  those  interested  in  the  building  trades 
informed  as  to  developments  in  the  building  industry. 

"Knowing  your  conservative  policy,  we  have  never 
hesitated  to  take  your  reporters  into  our  confidence  in 
l)uilding  news,  feeling  sure  that  this  confidence  would 
never  be  abused  by  premature  publication,  exaggeration 
or  other  yellow  journal  tactics  detrimental  to  our  clients' 
interests." 

From  the  Office  of  McGuire  &  Shook 

"We  are  pleased  to  offer  our  testimony  to  the  splendid 
qualities  of  the  service  made  available  to  the  building 
industry — in  general — by  your  company. 

"The  information  collected  from  the  architects,  by 
your  competent  and  courteous  local  representatives,  is 
prepared  and  disseminated  throughout  the  field  in  such 
a  way  as  to  insure  reliable  reports  regarding  contemplated 
projects  as  well  as  those  in  ])rogress. 

"Your  contribution  to  the  advancement  of  modern 
building  achievements  is  outstanding." 

From  the  Office  of  Eschweiler  &  Eschweiler 

"We  continue  to  find  Dodge  Reports  and  its  repre- 
sentatives a  most  satisfactory  and  relial)le  means  of  dis- 
tributing the  necessary  information  of  our^  building 
projects  to  contractors  and  material  dealers.  The  news 
is  given  accurately  and  promptly,  and  this  saves  our  oftice 
force  many  calls  and  much  correspondence. 

"Sweet's  Catalog  File  has  proven  itself  to  be  of  great 
value  as  a  time  saver  when  looking  for  necessary  and 
reliable  up-to-date  information."

SPECIAL  INQUIRY  SERVICE 

Architects  and  engineers  find  this  feature  of  Dodge 
Reports  as  valuahle  as  do  Dodge  subscribers.  During  the 
course  of  a  year,  we  answer  thousands  of  questions  archi- 
tects ask.  These  questions  pertain  to  a  variety  of  su])jects. 
The  following  are  typical : 

What  types  of  work  are  the  most  active  now  ? 

How  many  schools  were  contracted  for  in  this  state 
last  year? 

How  do  wage  scales  and  material  prices  in  Atlanta  com- 
pare with  those  current  in  Chicago? 

What  jobs  do  you  know  of  in  Fort  Wayne  on  which 
the  architect  has  not  been  selected? 

What  Kansas  City  contractors  handle  large  building 
projects? 

Can  you  give  me  five  heating  and  ventilating  contractors 
in  Montreal  capable  of  handling  a  $500,000  hospital  job? 

Who  sells  the  products  of  X.Y.Z.  Manufacturing  Com- 
])any  here  in  town  ? 

Can  you  give  me  the  name  of  the  maker  of  the  Blank 
s])ecialty  ? 

Who  are  the  members  of  the  Building  Committee  for 
the  Main  Street  Baptist  church? 

What  kind  of  marble  was  used  for  floors  in  the  First 
National  Bank? 

Dodge  also  answers  hundreds  of  questions  daily  on 
])ehalf  of  architects,  thereby  conserving  their  time  and 
relieving  them  of  much  bother  and  many  interruptions. 
PLAN  ROOM  SERVICE 

Architects  are  cordially  invited  to  make  use  of  Dodge 
Plan  Rooms.  This  service  has  greatly  increased  esti- 


mating convenience  and  l)()th  architects  and  contractors 
have  benefited.  The  reasons  why  Dodge  Plan  Rooms 
appeal  to  architects  may  be  summarized  as  follows: 

Fewer  material  men  and  sub-contractors  will  call  at 

your  office  wanting  to  figure  jobs.  Those  who  do  call 

may  be  requested  to  use  the  Dodge  Plan  Room  to  save 

congestion  in  your  office. 

On  jobs  to  be  built  in  distant  cities,  the  task  of 

securing  bids  from  sub-contractors  in  those  cities  is 

simplified. 

When  plans  are  received  in  a  Dodge  Plan  Room, 
your  interests  and  those  of  your  client  are  fully  pro- 
tected. 

We  do  not  allow  plans  to  be  removed  from  the  Plan 
Room. 

We  do  not  permit  any  mutilation. 

We  do  not  permit  general  contractors  to  use  our  Plan 
Rooms  except  at  the  request  of  an  architect. 

We  do  not  interpret  plans  or  specifications  to  any 
estimator  who  may  question  us. 

Any  estimator  known  to  represent  a  reliable  firm  may 
examine  plans  on  file. 

Plans  may  l)e  sent  to  us  express  collect,  or  we  will 
send  a  messenger  to  your  office  for  them. 

After  contract  is  awarded  we  return  plans,  w^ith  the 
specifications,  to  your  office. 

When  having  plans  blue  printed,  have  one  or  more  sets 
l)repared  for  Dodge  Plan  Rooms.  Make  this  standard 
practice  in  your  office  just  as  hundreds  of  other  architects 
are  doing.  Ask  the  Dodge  reporter  about  this  service.

F.  W.  DODGE  CORPORATION 


HOW  DODGE  REPORTS  ARE  USED 


We  do  not  believe  the  interest  of  the  architect  and  engi- 
neer, so  far  as  giving  news  of  current  work  to  Dodge  re- 
porters is  concerned,  is  Hniited  to  the  personal  advantages 
they  gain  by  so  doing.  What  happens  to  their  news  interests 
them  also,  for  it  is  the  use  of  this  news  that  lowers  sales 
expense  and,  as  pointed  out  earlier,  reduces  distribution 
costs  and  hence  promotes  construction.  Therefore  the  way 
in  which  Dodge  Reports  are  used  is  important  to  the 
architect,  as  well  as  to  the  sul)scril)er. 

Dodge  Reports  are  used  for  three  purposes:  (1)  Field 
Selling,  (2)  Direct  Advertising,  and  (3)  Sales  Control. 

FIELD  SELLING 

Dodge  Reports  tell  the  salesman  and  the  contractor 
whom  to  see,  where  to  find  him,  when  to  see  him  and  what 
job  to  talk  about.  In  short,  the  salesman  using  Dodge  Re- 
ports knows  an  architect  has  a  jol3  in  his  line  before  he 
calls.  He  gets  right  down  to  business,  keeps  to  the  subject, 
and  speeds  the  interview.  He  does  not  wander  from  office 
to  office  looking  for  a  chance  to  tell  his  story.  His  employer 
saves  the  cost  of  useless  sales  calls ;  the  architect  is  spared 
the  annoyance  of  such  calls.  Salesmen  learn  of  jobs  early 
enough  to  acquaint  architects  with  new  products  and 
methods  before  ])lans  and  specifications  are  completed. 
Salesmen  are  enal)led  to  show  dealers,  particularly  on  the 
smaller  projects,  an  immediate  market  for  their  products 
and  so  gain  the  active  cooperation  of  local  distributors  in 
following  up  selling  opportunities. 

DIRECT  ADVERTISING 

Dodge  Reports  are  coded  so  that  the  advertising  or 
sales  promotion  manager  can  send  pertinent  letters  or 
pieces  of  advertising  to  the  buying  factors  named  on  the 
reports  just  as  specifications  are  being  written  and  as  buy- 
ing decisions  are  being  made.  This  timed  distribution  of 
letters  and  advertising  is  economically  handled  in  an  al- 
most routine  manner.  Duplication  of  mailings  is  prevent- 
ed. Mailings  are  made  only  to  qualified  prospects,  so 
saving  the  waste  and  cost  of  mass,  scatter-shot  circulariza- 
tion  which  accomplishes  little  but  fill  up  the  architect's 
waste  basket.  Timed  advertising  benefits  everybody. 

Timed  advertising  is  also  used  to  secure  small  orders 
where  it  is  too  costly  or  impossible  to  send  salesmen.  If 


salesmen  are  not  employed,  timed  advertising  is  used  to 
support  the  salesmen  of  agents  or  distributors,  and  takes 
the  manufacturer's  own  sales  story  direct  to  prospects. 
Timed  advertising  to  architects,  engineers  and  general 
contractors  makes  a  catalog  filed  in  Sweet's  more  ef- 
fective as  letters  calling  attention  to  the  catalog  may  l3e 
sent  at  the  time  plans  are  being  drawn  or  when  bids  arc 
being  prepared  on  a  given  job. 

Timed  advertising  increases  the  effectiveness  of  adver- 
tising in  The  Architectural  Record  and  in  other  profes- 
sional journals  and  business  papers,  as  well  as  the  effec- 
tiveness of  general  advertising.  Timed  advertising  crystal- 
lizes the  acceptance  which  other  forms  of  advertising  build 
for  a  product,  and  converts  this  acceptance  into  orders 
when  buying  decisions  are  being  made.  The  completely 
equipped  Dodge  mailing  department  is  prepared  to  handle 
timed  mailings  for  Dodge  Report  subscribers. 

SALES  CONTROL 

When  Dodge  Reports  are  used  as  the  basis,  simple  sales 
control  files  on  active  projects  may  ])e  set  up  in  home  and 
branch  offices,  and  such  files  give  accurate,  clear  pictures 
of  the  active  market,  present  and  near  future.  If  any  job 
is  being  neglected  the  neglect  becomes  evident  while  there 
is  still  time  to  sell  the  job.  Salesmen  or  field  representa- 
tives who  are  doing  the  best  work,  or  w'ho  need  help,  or 
w^ho  may  have  to  be  replaced,  are  known.  Control  files 
make  it  possible  to  keep  selling  effort  adjusted  to  sales 
potential  by  season,  by  territory,  by  product. 

Control  files  make  accurate  sales  direction  possible  on, 
and  insure  proper  follow  up  of  "split"  jobs,  that  is,  jobs 
where  the  architect  is  in  one  territory,  the  contractor  in 
another  and  the  job  in  a  third.  These  files  clearly  indicate 
territories  where  competition  is  being  beaten,  or  where 
competition  is  gaining,  and  the  reasons  for  the  change  by 
types  of  projects,  and  by  project  valuations.  In  many 
w^ays,  sales  control  work  helps  the  manufacturer  to  cut 
his  costs,  with  consequent  benefit  to  all. 

COORDINATED  SELLING 

When  Dodge  Reports  are  used  for  the  three  purposes 
described,  the  subscriber  gains  several  advantages  through 
the  resulting  coordination  of  all  selling  forces.

F.  W.  DODGE  CORPORATION 


The  greatest  possible  re- 
sults are  secured  from  ad- 
vertising due  to  the  close 
follow  up  of  prospects  by 
the  field  sales  stalf .  Sales- 
men's accomplishments 
are  increased  because, 
through  coordinated  ad- 
vertising, they  have  sujv 
porting  cultivation  of  all 
buying  factors  on  each 
project.  The  active  inter- 
est of  jobbers  and  dealers 
is  secured  and  their  effort 
in  local  selling  parallels 
that  of  the  manufacturer. 
The  timed  combination  of 
all  selling  effort  is  much 
more  likely  to  gain  sales 
at  reasonable  cost  for  the  product  of  the  Dodge  Report 
subscriber  than  is  the  emaciated  and  scattered  application 
of  unrelated  efforts  by  the  manufacturer  whose  selling  is 
neither  controlled  nor  coordinated. 

STRAIGHT  LINE  SELLING 

In  order  that  the  news  collected  from  architects  may 
be  used  to  the  best  advantage,  we  have  developed  the 
Ncii^  Dodge  Method  of  Straight  Line  Selling.  This 
Alethod  includes  the  use  of  reports  for  field  selling, 
direct  advertising  and  sales  control.  During  the  last 
several  years  it  has  been  thoroughly  tested  and  is  now 
in  use  by  the  makers  of  a  variety  of  building  products 
and  equipment,  including  small,  medium  sized,  and  large 
organizations.  Subscribers  tell  us  it  is  far  more  efficient 
than  methods  they  formerly  used  in  eliminating  waste 
and  detail  in  sales  follow  up.  Our  representatives  and 
service  men  are  ready  to  explain  the  proper  use  of  con- 
struction news  and  how  it  will  solve  sales  problems  in 
the  building  field.  We  invite  inquiry. 


Fig.  7 — Pittsburgh  Office,  Dodge  Reports.  The  services  of  many  trained 
workers  in  each  office  are  required  to  keep  track  of  all  construction  work. 


COUNTY  ISSUE 

We  have  perfected  our 
issuing  system  to  a  point 
where  we  can  now  ren- 
der selective  service  by 
county  or  groups  of 
counties.  Distributing  re- 
ports direct  to  salesmen, 
each  service  covering  just 
the  county  or  counties  in 
each  man's  territory,  and 
supplying  one  or  more 
control  services  to  the 
home  and  branch  offices 
of  the  subscriber,  elimi- 
nates detail  and  saves 
time,  a  vital  factor  in 
competitive  selling. 
To  illustrate :  Assume 
a  manufacturer  has  his  home  office  in  New  York  and  a 
branch  in  Cleveland.  The  control  service  for  Ohio  goes 
to  his  New  York  office  w4iere  it  is  used  for  advertising 
and  sales  control  purposes.  Individual  services  are 
mailed  by  us  direct  to  each  of  his  salesmen,  covering 
selected  projects  located  in  the  counties  comprising  the 
territory  of  each  Ohio  salesman.  There  is  no  limit  to 
the  number  of  "divided  mailings"  or  county  services  one 
manufacturer  may  use.  Suppose  he  has  a  man  in  Cleve- 
land contacting  only  architects — that  man  will  get  a  spe- 
cial service.  Suppose  he  has  several  salesmen  in  northern 
Ohio  contacting  the  trade — each  one  will  get  a  service 
covering  his  territory. 

Under  the  old  method  a  single  service  would  have 
been  mailed  to  the  New  York  office  where  it  would  be 
copied,  sorted  and  relayed  to  the  Ohio  salesmen.  Or  it 
would  have  been  sent  to  the  Cleveland  branch  and  the 
home  office  would  have  no  knowledge  of  jobs  in  Ohio. 
Delay  in  the  old  method  often  resulted  in  salesmen  call- 
ing in  an  effort  to  secure  a  change  in  specifications  at  a 
time  when  such  change  would  be  costly.

facilities,  long  experience  and  dependable  service,  thousands  of  farms 
look  to  Dodge  for  building  information  of  all  kinds. 


DEPENDABILITY 

The  news  issued  in  Dodge  Reports  is  verified,  depend- 
able information.  There  are  four  points  upon  which  to 
judge  a  news  service:  (1)  complete  coverage  of  projects, 
(2)  prompt  reporting  of  architects  selected,  bidders, 
award  of  general  and  sub-contracts,  (3)  accuracy,  (4) 
job  details.  Because  of  our  long  experience  and  our  large 
reportorial  staflf.  Dodge  Report  service  by  repeated  tests 
has  been  found  superior  on  each  of  the  four  points  to  any 
competing  service  or  any  coml^ination  of  such  services. 

SUPPLEMENTARY  SERVICES 

Reference  has  been  made  to  Dodge  Special  Inquiry 
Service.  This  service  is  of  value  to  the  subscriber  as  well 
as  to  the  architect.  When  a  sales  manager  or  salesman 
has  need  for  special  last  minute  information  pertaining 
to  a  certain  job,  or  seeks  facts  concerning  a  rumored  job, 
this  service  is  available.  Every  day  wt  take  care  of  these 
situations  by  answering  such  questions  as : 

Who  is  the  owner,  or  architect,  or  engineer,  on  such  and 

such  a  job? 
Who  is  figuring  the  general  contract  ? 
When  are  bids  on  the  general  contract  due? 
Has  the  general  contract  been  awarded? 
What  is  to  be  built  on  site  at  (location)  ? 
Has  the  sub-contract  for  (trade)  been  awarded?

In  many  of  our  offices  we  maintain  a  Sales  Representa- 
tives' Register.  This  service  consists  of  a  listing  of  manu- 
facturers' names  and  products,  and  the  names,  addresses 
and    numl)ers  of  these  manufacturers'  local 
sales  representatives,  so  that  we  may  promptly  answer 
the  many  inquiries  we  receive  from  architects,  contrac- 
tors and  others  wdio  are  constantly  asking  us  to  tell  them 
who  represents  a  certain  product  locally.  To  take  advan- 
tage of  it  architects  need  only  to    the  Dodge 
office  or  ask  a  Dodge  Reporter. 

DODGE  REPORT  USERS 

Literally  thousands  of  individuals  and  firms  use  Dodge 
Reports.  Dodge  subscribers  represent  more  than  700  dif- 
ferent lines  of  business.  The  first  firm  to  sign  a  contract 
for  Dodge  Report  service  has  l)een  a  su1)scril)er  since 
October,  .  Numerous  other  subscril)ers  have  been  in 
uninterrupted  service  for  30  years  and  longer.

DODGE  SERVES  INTERESTS  OF  ALL 


As  a  national  clearin<^  house  for  construction  news, 
Dodge  renders  the  entire  construction  industry  a  service 
of  fundamental  importance.  This  service  might  be  Hkened 
to  a  huge    exchange  which  automatically  con- 
nects architect,  engineer,  general  contractor,  sub-contrac- 
tor, material  man,  owner,  financing  institution  and  the 
many  other  factors  involved,  putting  them  in  touch  with 
each  other  at  the  time  their  functions  must  meet  in  order 
to  complete  a  project.  Distances  are  shortened,  time  is 
saved,  delay  is  avoided,  costs  are  reduced.  Were  it  not  for 
this  national  system  of  orderly  distribution  of  news,  a 
chaotic  condition  would  exist,  characterized  by  tremen- 
dous duplication  of  effort,  confusion  and  needless  ex- 
pense. Finally,  it  should  be  recalled  that  each  time  an 
architect  gives  information  to  a  Dodge  reporter,  he  is 
aiding  in  the  compilation  of  statistics  of  the  construction 
industry.  Dodge  statistics  are  regarded  as  authoritative 
by  the  Federal  Government,  the  Federal  Reserve  Banks, 
the  U.  S.  Chamber  of  Commerce  and  the  press  of  the 


country.  The  value  of  these  statistics  to  the  industry  and 
to  the  public  is  obvious. 

The  more  widely  and  the  more  intelligently  Dodge 
Publications  and  Services  are  used,  the  better  will  the 
interests  of  all  be  served.  Each  one  of  these  publications 
and  services  has  been  specially  designed  to  aid  those  con- 
cerned in  any  way  with  new  construction,  and  to  help 
them  to  perform  their  particular  function  with  less 
trouble,  at  lower  cost,  and  greater  profit. 

Dodge  Report  service  is  available  for  almost  any  ter- 
ritory desired.  The  price  is  very  low  because  we  are  able 
to  distribute  our  costs  over  the  thousands  of  contracts  in 
force.  The  application  of  the  Dodge  Reports  Plan  for 
using  the  service  is  neither  difficult  nor  costly.  Our  repre- 
sentatives are  sales  consultants ;  they  know  the  construc- 
tion field  through  long  contact ;  confidence  may  be  placed 
in  their  recommendations.  Further  information  will  be 
cheerfully  supplied.  Address  Dodge  Reports,  119  West 
40th  Street,  New  York,  N.  Y.

money  by  eliminating  useless  sales  calls  and  wasteful  advertising.  The  architect  benefits  because  the  manufacturer's  salesmen 
do  not  call,  except  when  the  architect  has  a  job  on  which  the  manufacturer's  product  may  be  used.

HOME  OWNERS'  CATALOGS 


Home  Owners'  Catalogs  is  another  very  important 
reason  why  it  is  to  the  advantage  of  the  architect  to  give 
early  and  complete  information  to  the  Dodge  reporter 
on  all  ''owner  occupy"  residential  projects. 

Home  Owners'  Catalogs  is  a  handsomely  bound 
volume  containing  the  individual  catalogs  of  manufac- 
turers of  home  building  materials,  equipment  and 
furnishings.  All  are  written  in  simple,  comprehensive 
terms  which  are  easily  understood  by  the  layman.  It  is 
delivered  without  charge  to  owners  planning,  luiildmg, 
or  modernizing  their  own  home  during  the  early  stages 
of  construction. 


Vrom  the  standpoint  of  the  architect  it  has  the  follow- 
ing advantages: 

It  places  manufacturers'  literature  in  the  owner's  hands 
at  one  time.  In  the  present  unorganized  state  of  affairs 
owners  receive  catalogs  at  all  stages  of  the  project.  As  a 
result  the  owner  raises  questions  at  every  meeting  with 
the  architect  and  often  changes  in  plans  and  specifica- 
tions follow.  When  we  first  discover  (through  follow- 
ing property  transfers  or  through  other  sources)  an 
owner  who  is  seriously  considering  l)uilding  a  new  home, 
or  when  an  architect  gives  us  the  name  and  address  of  his

The  Dodge  Reports  organization  spent  three  years  developing  Home  Owners  Catalogs.  It  does 
three  things:  For  the  architect  it  facilitates  the  handling  of  .residential  jobs  and  their  negotiations 
wTh  their  clients.  For  the  owner  it  supplies  needed  information  at  the  right  time.  For  the  manu- 
facturer  it  eliminates  costly  waste.

client  while  the  new  house  is  in  the  sketch  stage  or 
earlier  we  send  Home  Owners'  Catalogs  to  that  owner 
with  the  result  that  most  questions  are  out  of  the  way 
before  working  drawings  are  started  and  troublesome 
changes  in  plans  of  specifications  are  largely  avoided. 


ENDORSED  BY  JOHN  FUGARD 

Home  Owners'  Catalogs  helps  owners  make  decisions. 
On  this  point  John  R.  Fugard,  Thielbar  &  Fugard,  Chi- 
cago architects,  writes  as  follows :  "Your  new  Home 
Owners'  Catalogs  appeals  to  us  very  much.  One  of  the 
most  difficult  things  an  architect  has  to  do  is  to  get  his 
client  to  make  decisions  on  the  many  problems  that  con- 
front him  in  building  a  home.  This  volume,  in  our 
opinion,  will  assist  home  owners  materially  in  crystalliz- 
ing their  ideas.  The  architectural  profession  as  a  whole 
should  benefit  because  of  your  very  strong  recommenda- 
tion to  home  owners  to  select  a  competent  architect.'' 

WILL  IMPROVE  QUALITY  OF  HOMES 

Alfred  Granger,  Granger  &  Bollenbacher,  declares: 
"This  catalog  in  circulation  among  home  builders  will 
help  the  quality  of  homes  to  be  erected." 

Numerous  other  architects  have  volunteered  similar 
endorsement.  We  invite  you  to  examine  a  copy  of  Home 
Owners'  Catalogs.  Just  ask  the  Dodge  reporter  to  bring 
a  copy  to  your  office.

Realizing  that  owners  will  show  the  volume  to  their 
friends,  some  of  whom  will  be  contemplating  new  homes 
or  considering  changes  to  existing  dwellings,  we  provide 
in  the  volume  application  forms  which  persons  expecting 
to  build  can  send  us.  Thus  Home  Owners'  Catalogs  will 
crystallize  desire  and  promote  construction.

SPONSORS  ARCHITECTURAL  SERVICE 

In  the  letter  which  we  send  to  each  owner  with  Home 
Owners'  Catalogs  and  in  the  Foreword  as  well  as  in 
the  contents  we  are  doing  all  within  our  power  to  induce 
owners  to  retain  architects  to  design  and  supervise  their 
projects. 

The  carrying  letter  states:  "To  adjust  individual 
ideas  to  the  complete  plan,  and  things  to  budget,  is  often 
a  difficult  task.  It  is  here  that  the  sympathetic,  profes- 
sionally trained  man,  the  architect,  renders  vital  service. 
Again,  architectural  supervision  of  the  home  during  con- 
struction is  a  safeguard.  Architectural  service  from  first 
to  last  is  true  economy." 

In  the  Foreword  is  the  following:  "Building  a  home  is 
more  than  a  romantic  experience.  Intensely  practical 
aspects  are  involved,  and  the  satisfaction  you  derive  over 
the  years  will  depend  largely  upon  the  success  with 
which  you  meet  the  practical  phases  of  house  construc- 
tion. Of  these  none  is  so  important  as  Design  and  Plan. 
Design  and  Plan  must  be  adjusted  to  your  desires,  your 
needs  and  your  budget.  The  architect,  with  his  special 
training  and  experience,  is  better  able  to  handle  this 
phase  of  the  home  building  operation  than  any  one  else. 
The  builder,  too,  will  serve  better  when  his  work  follows 
a  carefully  worked  out  solution  to  the  home  builder's 
particular  problem." 

STOCK  PLANS  PROHIBITED 

We  reserve  the  right  of  editorial  approval  of  the  con- 
tents of  each  individual  catalog.  We  will  not  accept  a 
catalog  which  features  or  recommends  stock  plans. 


LOWERS  COSTS 

This  new  development  of  Dodge  Reports  is  important 
to  architects  for  the  further  reason  that  it  lowers  manu- 
facturers' costs.   Here  are  the  reasons: 

1 —  Owners  spending  $4,000  or  more  are  covered  with 
job-by- job  precision.  It  goes  to  no  one  else.  If  a  job 
has  passed  the  ''Foundations  In"  stage  before  name 
and  address  of  owner  is  first  reported.  Home  Owners' 
Catalogs  is  not  sent  that  owner. 

2 —  Issued  in  13  editions,  each  covering  a  tiading  area. 
Manufacturer  may  limit  distribution  of  his  catalog- 
to  those  editions  covering  areas  wherein  he  sells,  so 
preventing  waste. 

3 —  The  volume  arrives  at  time  owner  is  seeking  informa- 
tion upon  which  to  make  decisions. 

4 —  It  will  be  retained  throughout  the  life  of  the  job  and 
probably  long  after. 

5 —  It  costs  manufacturer  no  more  to  distribute  a  28-page 
booklet  than  a  four  page  folder — plenty  of  space  for 
a  complete  sales  story. 

6 —  Manufacturer  pays  on  basis  of  catalogs  actually  de- 
livered. 

Ask  your  Dodge  reporter  to  show  you  a  copy.  Then 
make  it  standard  practice  in  your  office  to  give  the  Dodge 
reporter  the  names  and  addresses  of  your  residential 
clients  at  the  earliest  possible  moment.  Doing  so  will 
confer  a  favor  upon  the  client  and  facilitate  the  progress 
of  the  job  through  your  office.

DODGE  STATISTICS  — SOURCES 

Dodge  Statistics  arc  compiled  from  Dodge  Reports 
issued  daily.  These  reports  contain  construction  in- 
formation gathered  from  all  available  sources  (architects, 
engineers,  contractors,  development  companies,  real  es- 
tate operators,  public  officials,  banks,  owners,  and  so  on.) 
They  are  mailed  daily  from  13  Dodge  Reports  issuing 
offices  to  the  Statistical  Division  in  New  York  City  con- 
stituting, in  fact,  a  daily  census  of  construction.  The 
Statistical  Division  compiles  its  statistical  data  for  two 
stages  of  construction : 

1 — New  construction  contemplated. 

2  New  contracts  awarded  (or  work  started,  in 

the  case  of  projects  carried  through  without 
a  general  contractor). 
Statistical  tables  are  divided  according  to 

1  Ten  general  classes  and  55  detailed  classes 

of  projects. 

2  Territories — regions,  states,  counties,  metro- 

lx)liLan  areas  and  cities  having  population  of 
100,000  and  over. 
Territorially,  the  area  covered  by  Dodge  Statistics  is 
the  same  as  that  of  Dodge  Reports,  the  37  states  east 
of  the  Rocky  Mountains.  But  the  Statistical  Division 
also  compiles  statistics  of  building  permits  for  cities  m 
the  Rocky  Mountain  and  Pacific  Coast  territories,  index 
numbers  of  building  costs,  records  of  building  wage  scales 
and  other  data  pertinent  to  the  conduct  of  the  industry. 
The  index  of  building  costs  is  given  below :

Residential  building,  generally  regarded  as  the  pulse  of  the 
construction  industry  which  in  turn  has  become  the  most  important

increasing  demand  is  indicated  in  the  accompanying  chart  which 
was  constructed  for  the  purpose  of  showing  periods  of  accumulat- 
ing demand  as  well  as  periods  of  accunuilating  surpluses.  The 
present  period  of  increasing  demand  for  new  housing  accommoda- 
tions began  in  July  Y)Z2i  and  has  continued  without  interruption 
since  then. 

The  story  told  by  the  chart  might  be  summarized  as  follows  : 
.throughout    and  extending  until  October    there  was  a 
period  in  which  the  rate  of  building  activity  did  not  keep  pace 
with  the  volume  of  new  work  planned.  Within  this  period  occurred 
the  -  depression.  Anyone  using  this  chart  as  an  indicator 
at  that  time  would  have  recognized  that  the  decline  was  destined 
to  be  short-lived  because  of  the  accumulative  backlog  of  building 


demand  which  had  been  built  up  previously  and  which  was  actuall\ 
continuing  throughout  the  decline.  This  period  of  accumulating 

CONSTRUCTION  CONTRACTS  AWARDED  IN  THE  37  EASTERN  STATES 


demand  started  in  .  The  previous  period  of  residential  build- 
ing surplus  extended  from    to  .  From  October    to 
July  19v33  there  appears  an  extended  shaded  area.  This  was  the 
period  of  accumulating  residential  surpluses.  The  chart  suggests 
how  unreasonable  was  the  expansion  which  occurred  in    and 
  and  again  in  . 

The  method  of  constructing  this  maladjustment  chart  is  based 
upon  what  is  known  as  the  12-months'  moving  total.  This  method 
consists  in  plotting  each  point  so  that  it  represents  the  total  for 
the  12  months  ending  with  the  month  plotted.  The  data  for  both 
contracts  awarded  and  contemplated  work  are  regularly  published 
in  the  Dodge  Statistical  Research  Service.  It  is  necessary,  how- 
ever, to  deflate  the  volume  of  contemplated  construction  because 
not  all  work  planned  matures  into  actual  construction.  In  the 
case  of  residential  building  the  amount  of  correction  necessary  is 
indicated  in  the  chart.  Such  a  chart  represents  one  method  by 
which  it  is  possible  to  recognize  periods  of  increasing  demand  for 
building  as  compared  with  periods  of  potential  building  surpluses

The  one  way  to  provide  definite  statistical  data  for 
specific  sales  territories,  which  vary  considerably  among 
different  manufacturers  and  marketing  agencies,  is  to 
adopt  the  county  as  a  unit.  These  county  statistics  can 
be  readily  assembled  into  any  desired  market-area  group- 
ing. Such  service  is  now  being  provided  under  special 
contract  to  meet  the  specific  requirements  of  the  sub- 
scribers. 

But  with  approximately  2,700  counties  in  the  37  east- 
ern states  constituting  the  Dodge  coverage  it  is  impracti- 
cal to  create  a  monthly  ])ullctin  service  on  a  county  basis. 
Therefore,  for  general  statistical  purposes  the  Metro-

THE  ARCHITECTURAL 

RECORD 

PUBLISHED  BY 

F.  W.  DODGE  CORPORATION 

119  West  40th  Street.  New  York.  N.  Y. 
(For  District  Offices,  see  page  23) 


The  aim  of  The  Record  is  to  supply  archi- 
tects and  engineers  with  a  selection  of  news, 
pertinent  to  those  professions,  that  is  useful 
at  the  time  of  publication. 

DESIGN 

A  major  part  of  each  issue's  contents  is 
devoted  to  pictorial  presentation  of  buildings 
selected  for  their  value  in  application  to  archi- 
tectural demands  of  the  moment.  In  the  selec- 
tion of  buildings  for  publication  The  Record 
enjoys  important  advantages  in  consequence  of 
its  affiliation  with  F.  W.  Dodge  Corporation. 
Dodge  Reports  Service,  with  which  all  archi- 
tects are  familiar,  makes  available  to  editors 
of  The  Record  a  currently  accurate  survey  of 
building  activity  throughout  the  37  Eastern 
States.  Detailed  information  regarding  every 
project  on  which  an  architect  is  employed  is 
forwarded  daily  for  examination  and  selection 
by  The  Record's  editorial  staff.  Projects  of 
special  interest  or  significance  are  investigated  further  with  a  view 
to  future  publication.  Thus  is  The  Record  enabled  to  shape  its 
contents  in  accordance  with  immediate  needs  of  its  subscribers. 
The  Record's  illustrated  portfolios  showing  examples  of  residences 
or  of  special  building  types  or  of  modernization  projects  represent 
a  limited,  thoughtful  selection  from  available  material  through- 
out virtually  the  entire  nation. 

TECHNICAL  NEWS  AND  RESEARCH 

Frequent  articles  of  a  technical  nature  published  in  The  Record 
are  planned,  with  the  aid  of  Dodge  building  statistics,  to  satisfy 
known  needs  and  interests  of  the  active  members  of  the  profession. 
In  counter-balance  to  the  illustrated  portfolios  which  emphasize 
the  design  phase  of  architecture,  The  Record  publishes  in  each 
issue  one  or  more  articles  of  a  technical  character.  Under  the 
general  heading  of  Technical  News  and  Research  are  described 
advances  in  construction  methods,  new  materials  and  products. 
Typical  of  such  articles  are  the  following  which  were  published 
in   :  "Measurement  of  Conditioned  Air" ;  'The  Psycograph : 
Its  Meaning  to  the  Engineer"  ;  ''Apartment  House  Planning  Re- 
quirements, Including  Basic  Dimensions" ;  "Standards  for  Low- 
Rent  Housing";  "Paint  — A  Partner  in  Illumination";  "The 
Essentials  of  Prison  Design"  ;  "A  Modern  Medical  Center :  Its 
Mechanical  and  Electrical  Equipment";  "Heating  the  Small 
House" ;  "Electricity  for  the  House," 


CURRENT  BUILDING  CONDITIONS 

Governmental  efforts  to  stimulate  building 
are  fully  reported  in  The  Record.  Interpreta- 
tive articles  by  Federal  officials  and  by  staff 
writers  of  The  Record  inform  subscribers  of 
opportunities  for  architects  and  engineers 
created  by  those  efforts.  Specimen  articles  of 
this  type  published  in    are :  "F.  H.  A. 
Afodernization  Credit  Plan  Off'ers  Opportun- 
ities to  Architects"  by  Stewart  McDonald, 
Acting  Federal  Housing  Act  Administrator; 
"Standards  of  Mortgage  Insurance";  "State 
and  District  Offices  of  the  Federal  Housing 
Administration";  "The  Works-Relief  Pro- 
gram" ;  "Public  Works — Two  Programs  Com- 
pared" ;  "Federal  Aid  in  Small  House  Financ- 
ing".   Supplementing   these   articles  several 

  portfolios  illustrated  examples  of  public  build- 

WaMtmtKKKJM       i^^SS  and  new  housing  developments. 

In  line  with  the  Federal  "Modernize  Alain 
Street"  campaign  The  Record  conducted  a 
competition,  sponsored  by  Libbey-Owens-Ford  Glass  Company,  for 
the  design  of  stores  and  automotive  sales-and-service  stations. 
This  competition,  aiming  to  focus  the  attention  of  architects  on 
practical  opportunities  for  current  architectural  employment,  evi- 
dences The  Record's  constant  endeavor  to  achieve  a  high  degree 
of  timeliness  and  utility  in  editorial  contents. 

BUSINESS  AND  STATISTICAL 

Through  the  facilities  of  the  Statistical  Division  of  F.  W. 
Dodge  Corporation  Tlie  Record  provides  its  readers  each  month 
with  a  review  of  significant  trends  in  building,  with  particular 
reference  to  the  types  of  buildings  in  which  architects  and  en- 
gineers are  most  interested.  The  article  "Trends  in  Hospital 
Construction",  for  example,  based  upon  Dodge  construction  figures, 
was  published  in  a  recent  issue  of  The  Record  devoted  largely  to 
hospital  design  and  construction.  Similar  articles  of  a  statistical 
nature  published  in    are:  "Residential  Building  Forges 
Ahead" ;  "Eight  Months  Continuous  Rise  in  Private  House 
Construction" ;  etc. 

The  above  citation  of  articles  published  during    illustrates 
by  example  the  editorial  policies  observed  by  The  Record. 
Flexibility  and  adaptiveness  are  essential  qualities  enabling  The 
Record  to  conform  in  editorial  substance  with  the  requirements 
of  the  profession  as  these  requirements  become  apparent  from 
month  to  month.

SWEET'S  CATALOG  FILE 

This  file  of  catalogs  is  the  product  of  cooperative 
group  action  of  hundreds  of  manufacturers,  actuated  and 
directed  by  Sweet's  Catalog  Service.  The  current 
()  file  which  you  have  before  you,  represents  a  stage 
in  the  development  of  a  plan  w^hich  has  been  w^idely  ac- 
cepted by  leading  architects,  engineers,  contractors  and 
manufacturers  as  the  most  practical,  economical  and  ef- 
fective method  of  meeting  the  catalog  needs  of  these 
mutually  dependent  groups. 

Since  the  first  appearance  of  Sweet's  in  ,  great 
progress  has  been  made,  but  much  remains  to  be  done. 
It  is  the  purpose  of  this  outline  to  clarify  some  points 
which  seem  not  to  have  been  well  understood  by  those 
who,  in  their  enthusiasm  for  the  Sweet's  file  as  it  is 
today,  have  not  fully  considered  the  benefits  which  lie  in 
its  continued  development. 

CATALOG  FILES— OLD  STYLE  AND  NEW 

No  architect  or  contractor  needs  to  be  reminded  of 
the  time,  effort  and  expense  required  to  maintain  even  a 
semblance  of  a  workable  file  in  the  days  before  there 
was  any  alternative  to  building  one  up,  piece  by  piece, 
from  the  catalogs  supplied  at  irregular  intervals  by  the 
manufacturers.  The  sorting,  classifying,  filing,  refiling 
and  replacement  of  individually  distributed  catalogs  ne- 
cessitated a  time-consuming  routine  which  few  had  the 
facilities  or  inclination  to  follow.  The  result  was  highly 
unsatisfactory  both  to  architects  and  to  manufacturers. 

It  was  hardly  surprising  that  building  professionals 
welcomed  the  inauguration  of  a  new  method  of  catalog 
distribution  which  w^ould  give  them,  instead  of  the  raw 
materials  for  a  file,  a  complete  file  in  itself.  In  spite  of 
its  modest  beginning,  the  plan  was  received  with  uni- 
versal favor.  At  once,  it  became  the  custom  to  "look  it 
up"  first  in  Sweet's — and  to  resort  to  the  old  file  only 
when  forced  to  do  so.  In  the  following  years,  the  Sweet's 
file  grew  to  such  proportions  that  many  found  it  unneces- 


sary to  maintain  any  other,  especially  in  view  of  the 
marked  trend  toward  the  distribution  of  more  compre- 
hensive catalogs  in  Sweet's. 

CATALOG  ECONOMICS 

The  splendid  support  of  the  building  profession  has 
been  one  of  the  important  contributing  factors  in  the 
successful  development  of  Sweet's.  Many  users  of  this 
file  take  every  opportunity  to  recommend  to  manufac- 
turers that  they  file  their  catalogs  in  Sweet's.  Some, 
with  commendable  conscientiousness,  add  the  qualifica- 
tion, ''provided  the  cost  is  not  prohibitive,"  their  im- 
pression being  that  the  Sweet's  plan  involves  great 
added  expense  to  those  on  the  selling  end.  This  is  far 
from  the  fact. 

Sweet's  clients  pay  on  the  average  only  one  cent  per 
page  per  year  to  send  you  their  catalogs  in  the  Sweet's 
file.  This  charge  includes  printing,  filing  and  delivery  to 
your  ofiice  and  in  many  cases,  preparation  of  the  cata- 
log by  Sweet's  stafY  of  consulting  architects.  It  is  the 
cost  of  individual  catalog  distribution  which  is  pro- 
hibitive. Only  a  pitifully  small  percentage  of  separate 
catalogs  find  their  way  into  a  file — so  few  that  a  cata- 
log costing  25  cents  to  print  and  deliver,  on  the  average, 
actually  costs  $1.25  per  copy  filed. 

A  manufacturer  can  place  a  24-page  catalog  in 
13,000  offices  of  architects,  engineers  and  general  con- 
tractors, via  the  Sweet's  file,  at  less  than  24  cents  apiece. 
Even  if  he  were  able  to  prepare,  print  and  distribute 
individual  copies  of  the  same  catalog  to  the  same  offices 
for  20  cents  apiece,  the  net  result  would  be  a  "saving"  of 
$500.  And  for  this  "economy",  he  would  consign  80  per 
cent  of  his  catalogs  to  the  scrap  heap. 

Even  in  the  case  of  the  manufacturer  who  distributes 
only  a  single  page  bulletin.  Sweet's  can  handle  the  job  at 
less  than  the  cost  of  mailing  alone ! 

Bulk  buying  of  paper,  bulk  printing  and  bulk  distribu- 
tion permit  economies  which  are  shared  by  all  clients  of 
Sweet's  service.  The  small  portion  of  the  charge  which 
is  applied  to  the  service  features  of  Sweet's  is  not  com- 
parable with  anything  in  existence  at  the  present  time. 
Manufacturers  cannot  assure  the  maintenance  of  their

catalogs  in  recipients'  offices,  in  convenient  and  acces- 
sible form,  in  any  other  way,  at  any  price. 


WHEN  THE  MANUFACTURER  ASKS  YOU 
ABOUT  CATALOGS 

In  spite  of  ample  precedent  and  convincing  evidence 
there  are  still  some  manufacturers  to  w^hom  the  idea  of 
distributing  a  catalog  as  an  integral  part  of  the  Sweet's 
file  appears  somewhat  radical.  Aside  from  the  very 
human  tendency  to  resist  change,  there  is  often  an  honest 
doubt  in  their  minds  that  a  catalog  filed  in  Sweet's  can 
make  for  more  satisfactory  and  profitable  business 
relations  than  if  distributed  individually.  They  find 
it  difficult  to  believe  that  the  catalogs  which  they  have 
prepared  with  such  care  and  thoroughness  (when  that  is 
actually  the  case)  will  fail  to  be  rewarded  by  interested 
attention  and  use  by  recipients.  Even  though  they  admit 
the  existence  of  a  catalog  filing  problem  in  the  lattcr's 
offices,  with  its  attendant  wastes,  each  believes  that  Jiis 
catalog  is  the  exception  to  the  rule,  and  that  it  will  be 
singled  out  for  preservation  and  use. 

Every  so  often,  one  of  the  less  reactionary  spirits  de- 
cides to  check  up  on  the  situation.  The  usual  procedure 
is  to  conduct  a  questionnaire  investigation.*  Some  of 
these  are  well  designed  to  elicit  the  desired  information ; 
but  others  are  so  lacking  in  this  quality  that  a  busy 
man  might  unwittingly  convey  a  wrong  impression  in  his 
reply. 

For  instance,  a  manufacturer  with  a  four-page  con- 
densation of  his  catalog  in  Sweet's  might  send  you  a 
separate  copy  of  his  regular  catalog  with  the  ambiguous 
question : 

''Would  you  prefer  that  we  send  you  our  catalog  in- 
dividually, or  vshall  we  confine  our  effort  to  Sweet's?" 

Of  course  you  want  the  complete  information  and  you 
tell  him  so.  But  unless  you  make  it  plain  that  you  prefer 
to  have  it  sent  to  you  filed  in  Sweet's  he  will  assume  your 
l)reference  to  be  for  a  separate  catalog.  He  should 
have  stated  his  case  somewhat  as  follows: 

''We  are  planning  the  distribution  of  a  new  catalog. 
Would  you  prefer  to  receive  a  loose  copy  or  shall  we 
send  it  to  you  in  the  Sweet's  file?" 


^Sweet's  takes  this  opportunity  to  express  its  appreciation  to  all 
who  have  taken  time  and  trouble  on  many  occasions  to  answer 
these  inquiries.  It  has  been  especially  gratifying  to  see  also  that 
they  are  not  disposed  of  in  a  perfunctory  manner,  but  that  users 
of  Sweet's  have  shown  a  willingness  to  express  their  ideas  on 
the  subject,  specifically  and  at  length. 


Then  there  would  be  no  misunderstanding  of  the  ques- 
tion or  of  the  answer. 

Another  example  of  this  ambiguity  is  found  in  the 
question : 

*Ts  it  your  habit  to  consult  the  Sweet's  file  for  cata- 
log information  on   ?" 

Now  it  may  happen  that  the  manufacturer  in  this  case 
issues  an  unusually  valuable  catalog  which  is  retained 
by  more  than  the  average  number  of  offices,  not  be- 
cause the  separate  catalog  is  preferred,  but  because  the 
information  is  not  completely  presented  in  the  Sweet's 
file.  Under  these  circumstances,  your  answer  might  be 
misleading — unless  you  take  the  trouble  to  explain  that  it 
is  your  habit  to  consult  the  Sweet's  file  first  for  all  cata- 
log information ;  that  in  this  instance  you  have  been 
forced  to  go  elsewhere  to  supplement  the  information; 
and  that  you  would  prefer  to  have  it  completely  presented 
in  Sweet's. 

The  new  user  of  Sweet's  may  wonder  at  our  apparent 
presumption  in  assuming  that  replies  will  be  generally 
favorable  to  Sweet's.  We  can  only  say  that  our  modesty 
has  been  carried  away  in  the  many  landslides  for  Sweet's 
which  these  surveys  have  precipitated. 


THE  CURRENT  TREND 

The  ultimate  aim  of  Sweet's  is  to  furnish  you  each 
year  with  a  file  of  catalogs  in  which  you  can  find  useful, 
up-to-date  information  on  the  products  of  every  reputable 
manufacturer. 

A  measure  of  the  progress  toward  this  goal  is  found 
in  the  yearly  increase  in  the  number  of  real  catalogs.  It 
should  be  remarked  at  this  point  that  the  number  of 
pages  does  not,  in  every  case,  indicate  the  completeness 
of  information,  or  lack  of  it.  In  addition  to  the  many 
catalogs  in  Sweet's  whose  bulk  alone  marks  them  for 
attention,  there  are  scores  of  complete  catalogs  which  do 
not  exceed  a  half-dozen  pages  or  so.  These  are  just  as 
valuable  and  useful  in  connection  with  the  products  they 
describe  as  the  catalogs  in  which  the  complete  presenta- 
tion necessitates  the  use  of  eighty  or  a  hundred  pages. 
The  important  point  is  that  Sweet's  clients  as  a  whole 
have  come  to  appreciate  the  value  of  this  kind  of  contact 
and  that  the  present  trend  is  away  from  the  "advertising" 
form  and  toward  the  "catalog"  form  of  presentation. 

It  is  also  significant  that  nearly  all  the  ground  gained 
has  been  retained.  In  other  words,  when  a  manufacturer 
has  learned  to  take  full  advantage  of  Sweet's  service,  he 
continues  to  use  it  year  after  year.  The  few  who  drop

out  do  so,  almost  invariably,  for  reasons  which  do  not 
concern  the  quality  of  the  service  rendered. 

Of  eighty-six  manufacturers  who  filed  the  largest 
catalogs  in  Sweet's  in  ,  twenty-two  have  distributed 
their  catalogs  in  this  form  for  twenty-five  years  or  more ; 
sixty-four  for  ten  years  or  more;  and  seventy-six  for  five 
years  or  more.  Since  ,  through  sixteen  of  the  most 
critical  years  in  American  business  history,  each  year  has 
shown  a  gain  in  the  size  of  the  catalogs  used  by  this  group 
— from  an  average  of  4.3  pages  per  manufacturer  to  23.1 
in  .  During  the  same  period,  the  total  number  of 
catalog  pages  used  by  members  of  this  group  has  grown 
from  372  to  1,993. 

BEHIND  THE  SCENES 

An  architect,  writing  to  acknowledge  receipt  of  a 
new  Sweet's,  commented  on  the  thousands  of  changes 
and  revisions  necessary  to  l)ring  the  hundreds  of  manu- 
facturers' catalogs  up  to  date  and  ended  his  letter  with 
"How  on  earth  do  you  do  it?" 

He  may  not  have  realized  that  the  distribution  of  a 
complete  Sweet's  file  is  but  the  culmination  of  twelve 
months  of  catalog  service  rendered  continuously  to 
hundreds  of  manufacturers.  Throughout  the  year.  Sweet's 
is  busy  preparing  the  material  for  clients'  catalogs 
and,  whenever  new  catalogs  are  needed  immediately, 
printing  and  distril)uting  advance  copies  which  will  be 
filed  and  distributed  later  in  the  complete  file. 

Here  is  the  procedure. 

Preliminary 

Fourteen  district  managers  and  their  assistants,  work- 
ing out  of  offices  strategically  placed  from  coast  to  coast, 
make  preliminary  arrangements  with  manufacturers,  re- 
ceive their  orders  and  transmit  their  detailed  instructions 
to  the  proper  department  in  the  home  office  in  New  York. 

Caialog  Preparation 
Architectural  and  Engineering  Consultants 

In  order  that  catalogs  in  Sweet's  may  contain  infor- 
mation of  real  usefulness  to  you,  the  services  of  a  staff 
of  consulting  architects,  engineers  and  contractors  are 
placed  at  the  manufacturer's  disposal  without  charge.  All 
members  of  this  staff  are  men  of  practical  experience. 
]\[ost  of  them  are  members  of  the  A. I. A.  and  have  pre- 
viously conducted  successful  private  practices.  They  have 
compiled  scores  of  the  most  comprehensive  and  useful 
catalogs  in  Sweet's. 

Copy  Service 

Sweet's  maintains,  in  addition,  an  experienced  copy 
staff,  which  operates  under  instructions  from  the  con- 
sulting staff  or  direct  from  the  manufacturers. 


SE  CORPORATION 

Editorial  Service 

Catalogs  are  reviewed  and  edited  from  the  user's 
point  of  view  to  check  any  facts,  figures,  statements  or 
illustrations  which  might  not  be  understood  or  might 
mislead  and  suggestions  for  changes  are  forwarded  to 
manufacturers  for  approval  and  incorporation  before 
l)rinting. 

Classifying  and  Indexing 

This  work  proceeds  concurrently  wuth  the  receipt  of 
okayed  proofs.  Catalogs  are  first  classified  into  sec- 
tions according  to  products  cataloged  and  then  alpha- 
betically as  far  as  possible  by  manufacturers'  names 
within  each  of  these  sections.  These  important  opera- 
tions, which  require  up-to-date  and  extensive  knowledge 
of  all  products  and  expert  su])ervision,  contribute  greatly 
to  the  usefulness  of  the  Sweet's  file. 

Printing  and  Binding 

After  copy  in  proof  form  has  been  approved  by  manu- 
facturers it  is  printed,  as  fast  as  forms  can  be  assembled, 
in  one  of  the  largest  and  best  equipped  plants  in  the 
country.  10  carloads  of  paper  were  required  for  the  cur- 
rent file.  Finally  60,000  separate  volumes  of  catalogs 
(four  to  a  file)  are  permanently  bound  to  withstand  the 
constant  handling  they  receive  and  to  insure  each  manu- 
facturer's catalog  against  loss. 

Distribution 

Now  comes  the  work  of  getting  upwards  of  200  tons 
of  manufacturers'  catalogs  to  their  proper  destinations, 
in  order  that  they  will  be  accessil)le  in  13,000  offices  of 
architects,  engineers  and  general  contractors.  The  lists 
have  been  kept  up-to-date  throughout  the  year  through 
Dodge  Reports  and  other  authentic  records.  Shipping 
cartons,  labels  and  receipts  are  ready.  For  a  solid  month 
thousands  of  sets  of  Sweet's  move  by  freight,  express, 
parcel  post  and  motor  truck — and  a  new,  up-to-date  file 
has  reported  for  duty,  to  carry  on  the  work  of  its  prede- 
cessor. Throughout  the  year,  as  important  new  firms  are 
reported  by  the  500  reporters  and  correspondents  of 
F.  W.  Dodge  Corporation,  of  which  Sweet's  Catalog 
Service  is  a  division,  these  firms  are  provided  with  the 
Sweet's  file. 

The  cycle  is  endless.  As  soon  as  the  new  Sweet's  file  is  deliv- 
ered to  your  office,  work  commences  on  the  next.  Hundreds  of 
people  participate  directly  or  indirectly  in  its  compilation  and 
distribution.  In  addition  to  those  employed  by  Sweet's  chents,  by 
paper  producers,  engravers,  printers  and  distributing  agents, 
eighty  individuals  on  the  Sweet's  staflF  are  employed  the  year 
'round  to  provide  you  with  this  service.

Steel  Bearing  Piles 

Steel  Piles  are  not  new.  Various  individual  and  com- 
binations of  different  steel  sections  have  been  used  as 
bearing  piles  for  more  than  40  years  with  entire  satis- 
faction. The  introduction  of  the  H-type  of  section  over 
25  years  ago  gave  considerable  impetus  to  the  use  of 
steel  for  this  purpose.  Examination  of  the  steel  piles 
of  hundreds  of  bridges  in  the  middle  west,  in  service 
from  25  to  38  years,  and  still  in  excellent  condition,  dis- 
closes the  important  fact  that  loss  of  metal  from  cor- 
rosion is  a  negligible  factor,  too  slight  to  be  of  any 
consequence. 

CBP  Sections  Are  New 

The  immediate  popularity  of  sturdy,  wide  flange  CB 
^Structural  Sections  (introduced  in  )  for  bearing 
pile  use  led  to  the  design  of  special  sections,  particularly 


adapted  to  the  purpose.  These  are  known  as  CBP  Sec- 
tions and  differ  from  standard  CB  Sections  in  that  webs 
and  flanges  of  the  bearing  pile  sections  are  of  approxi- 
mately uniform  thickness,  except  in  one  or  two  instances 
where  it  was  impractical  to  reduce  the  flange  thickness 
to  that  of  the  web.  CBP  Sections  are  recommended  for 
any  and  all  purposes  for  which  any  type  of  bearing 
pile  may  be  used. 

Special  Advantages 

The  great  capacity  per  pile,  the  ease  and  speed  of 
driving,  the  fact  that  steel  piles  can  be  driven  with  mini- 
mum displacement  or  disruption  of  the  soil,  thus  reduc- 
ing the  possibility  of  disturbance  to  adjacent  structures, 
the  elimination  of  jetting,  ease  of  field  splicing,  positive 
penetration  to  any  desired  depth  through  hard-driving 
material,  resistance  to  borers — these  and  many  more 
advantages  commend  steel  piles  to  those  concerned  with 
buildings  and  bridge  foundations,  trench  and  sewer  con- 
struction, grade  crossing  elimination  work,  and  a  host 
of  other  applications. 

A  New  Book 

Heretofore,  there  has  not  been  available  from  any 
one  source  a  comprehensive  record  of  tests  and  of  the 
past  uses  and  applications  of  steel  bearing  piles.  A 
profusely  illustrated,  80-page  book,  presenting  an  exten- 
tive  review  of  the  use  of  steel  piles  in  the  past,  as  well 
as  data  on  current  practice  in  the  design  and  use  of 
CBP  Sections,  will  be  sent  on  request.  Address  inquiry

A  Special  Pile  for  Every  Condition — Not  One  Pile  for  All  Conditions 


The  MacArthur  Method  employs  ''A  Special  Pile  for  Every

forming  each  type  is  such  that  all  can  be  placed  with  our  stand-

are  encountered  and  a  change  in  plans  becomes  suddenly  neces- 
sary, there  is  no  delay  incidental  to  bringing  in  equipment  for 
special  piles,  as  the  etiuipment  is  already  on  the  site  and  all 
material  used  is  available  locally. 

AlacArthur  Concrete  Piles  are  all  cast-in-place  piles  and  are 
all  of  the  straight  shaft  type.  They  include: 

Straight  Shaft  and  Pedestal  Piles — These  are  our  standard 
uncased  compressed  concrete  piles.  Used  for  all  ordinary  soil 
conditions  where  piles  up  to  40  ft.  in  length  are  required. 


Cased  Concrete  Piles — Straight  shaft,  uniform  diameter  top 
to  bottom. 

Composite  Piles  of  Cased  Concrete  and  Timber — For  use 

where  l)ott()m  (timber)  section  of  pile  is  below  permanent  water 
level.  More  economical  than  all-concrete.  Placed  in  lengths  up 
to  100  ft. 

Composite  Piles  of  Concrete  and  Pipe — Uncased  upper 
section  of  compressed  concrete  and  lower  section  of  closed  end 
pipe — any  length.  For  use  in  ver}^  soft  soils  where  piles  have 
to  be  driven  to  great  depths. 

Pipe  Piles  with  Cast  Steel  Point — Filled  with  concrete  to 
any  length.  Economical  for  driving  where  headroom  is  limited, 
such  as  for  underpinning  foundations  or  making  new  founda- 
tions inside  existing  buildings. 


Cased  Concrete  Piles 

Conceding  to  the  demands  of  many  engineers  who  have  a 
professed  leaning  toward  cast-in-place  piles  with  permanent 
casings,  we  developed  and  added  to  our  other  types,  a  pile  with 
a  permanent  casing,  and,  in  ,  actively  marketed  it. 

Since  that  time,  we  have  installed  hundreds  of  thousands  of 
lineal  feet  of  the  cased  type  of  pile  in  many  locations  in  thir- 
teen states  and  the  District  of  Columbia.  The  consistently 
satisfactory  results  obtained  during  our  long  experience  in- 
stalling uniform  diameter  or  straight-sided  uncased  cast-in-place 
concrete  piles  caused  us  to  make  the  cased  type  of  pile  cylin- 
drical or  uniform  in  diameter.

Load  Distribution  by  Bulb  Pressure 

"John  F.  Greathead,  C.E.,  Section  Engineer  in  the  days  of  the  William 
Street,  New  York,  Subway,  plotted  lines  of  equal  vertical  pressure  beneath 
a  131/^ -in.  circular  phite,  disclosing,  in  a  manner  which  can  be  readily 
grasped,  the  general  distribution  of  pressure  beneath  a  footing.  This  he 
called  the  Bulb  of  Pressure."  Lazarus  White  on  the  "Science  of  Founda- 
tions," (Trans.  A.S.C.E.,  Vol.  93,  ,  p.  335).  The  above  diagram  is 
reproduced  from  this  paper 

Straight  Shaft  Uncased  Compressed  Concrete  Piles  for  All 
Ordinary  Soil  Conditions 

This  pile  calls  for  a  workable  dry  mix  concrete  compressed  under  a 
•weight  of  7  tons  after  the  concrete  is  poured.  This  forces  a  dense, 
homogeneous  concrete  into  intimate  contact  with  the  surrounding  soil 
and  gives  maximum  skin  friction  with  the  earth.  It  is  so  much  denser 
than  the  soil  that  it  cannot  be  disturbed,  distorted  or  forced  out  of  place 
by  driving  adjacent  piles,  as  might  be  the  case  with  a  wet  uncompacted 
concrete  enclosed  by  a  thin  casing.  Perfect  piles  are  formed  on  2-ft.  6-in. 
centers  in  the  most  rubbery  of  clays. 

A  steel  driving  shell  with  walls  in.  thick  and  of  uniform  diameter 
throughout  its  length  is  driven  to  penetration,  so  that  the  shell  is  intact  and 
absolutely  true  in  diameter  throughout  while  the  concrete  is  being  placed. 
The  pile  is  as  strong  at  the  base  at  it  is  at  the  top — has  twice  the  diam- 
eter at  the  base  as  the  ordinary  tapered  form,  of  pile  and  has  more  con- 
crete in  each  pile. 

It  is  a  known  fact,  that  concrete  should  be  rammed  or  compressed 
after  being  placed  in  forms,  to  secure  perfect  cohesion  and  to  remove 
voids  caused  by  pouring.  In  a  cast-in-place  pile  it  is  necessary  to  dump 
the  concrete  down  a  steel  shell  a  consideraole  distance.  When  a  wet 
sloppy  mix  is  used,  the  sand,  cement,  water  and  stone  will  undoubtedly 
separate  and  the  chance  of  the  aggregates  again  arranging  themselves  in 
correct  proportion  is  very  remote  indeed. 

The  MacArthur  Method  calls  for  a  water  ratio  of  6  gal.  of  water  per 
bag  of  cement  with  sufficient  coarse  aggregates  to  make  what  is  termed 
a  "dry  mix." 

Note:  See  recommendations  of  Portland  Cement  Association  in  their 
booklet  "Design  and  Control  of  Concrete  Mixtures."

File  Iiengrth — It  is  necessary  to  adopt  in  the  specification  a 
length  of  pile  so  as  to  secure  uniformity  in  the  bids.  This 
length  can  be  determined  approximately  from  examination  of 
the  borings.  (We  will  be  glad  to  make  recommendations  cover- 
ing correct  bid  length  upon  receipt  of  boring  data.) 

Pedestal  Piles — It  is  sometimes  found  that  there  is  a  firm 
stratum  of  soil  lying  between  layers  of  poor  soil  which  would 
sustain  the  superimposed  load  if  it  could  be  properly  distributed 
by  a  larger  base  than  is  possible  with  standard  diameter  piles, 
thereby  making  a  desirable  saving  in  pile  length.  Also,  in  some 
cases  the  foot  of  the  concrete  pile  rests  on  an  inclined  rock, 
which  tends  to  cause  a  side  slip  of  the  pile.  The  addition  of 
a  pedestal  overcomes  this  danger  by  giving  a  larger  end  bear- 
ing and  more  intimate  bond.  ,     •  , 

Reinforced  Piles — Piles  may  be  reinforced  with  single  cen- 
tral rod  or  with  a  hooped  cage  without  delay  in  driving  opera- 
tions. When  so  reinforced  these  piles  may  be  used  to  with- 
stand uplift  (43-ton  test  load  has  been  withstood  without  move- 
ment). This  is  valuable  to  resist  overturning  movement  due 
to  wind;  or  to  reduce  cantilever  action. 

Metal  Shoe — In  wet  or  semifluid  soils  pile  forming  casing  is 
sealed  before  driving  with  a  suitable  metal  shoe.

A  FORM  FOR  EVERY  PILE— 
A  PILE  FOR  EVERY  PURPOSE 


Classification  of  Concrete  Piles 

Concrete  piles  are  of  three  types:  "Cast- 
in-place";  "Pre-cast"  and  "Composite." 
Cast-in-place  Concrete  Piles— Piles 
which  are  made  in  place  are  commonly  referred  to  as 
"cast-in-place"  concrete  piles,  divided  into  two  classes: 

(a)  Those  in  which  a  form  is  left  in  the  ground  to  preserve  the 
integrity  of  the  finished  pile,  and  the  driving  resistance  created 
(the  Raymond  Standard  Method). 

(b)  Those  in  which  the  concrete  is  placed  by  means  of  a  temporary 
driving  form  zvhich  is  rcvxovcd  before  the  concrete  hardens,  leav- 
ing the  pile  confined  only  by  earth  (not  the  Raymond  Standard 
method).  ,  .  ^.  - 

Pre-cast  Concrete  Piles— Piles  of  this  type  are  cast  in 
forms  or  moulds,  then  driven  like  wooden  piles. 

Composite  Piles— This  type  is  made  by  superimposing  a  cast- 
in-place  concrete  pile,  or  section,  on  a  previously  driven  wood 


pile.    Generally  used  where  unusual  depths  are  encountered. 


RAYMOND  CAST-IN-PLACE  CONCRETE  PILES 

Installed  by  the  Raymond  Method  in  Which  the  Non-re- 
movable Steel  Shell,  Which  Protects  the  Concrete,  is  Driven 
on  the  Outside  of  the  Mandrel  and  Retains  the  Driving 
Resistance. 


Standard  Raymond  Concrete  Pile 

(In  lengths  up  to  37  ft.  6  in.) 
The  Standard  Raymond  Concrete  Pile  is  of  uniform  taper ;  gen- 
erally 8  in.  in  diameter  at  point  and  increasing  .4  in.  in  diameter 
per  lineal  foot.  Thus  a  pile  30  ft.  in  length  would  ordinarily  have 
a  point  diameter  of  8  in.  and  a  butt  diameter  of  20  in.  Under 
certain  conditions,  however,  as  when  the  pile  is  unusually  short 
and  largely  point  bearing  on  rock,  hardpan,  heavy  gravel  or  sand, 
the  point  diameter  is  increased  to  a  little  more  than  11  in.  (see 
further  description  on  follozving  page). 


Step  Tapered  Raymond  Concrete  Pile 

(In  lengths  up  to  100  ft.  or  more) 
This  Raymond  Pile  is  tapered  as  its  name  implies, 
in  a  series  of  steps,  each  8-ft.  section  being  1  in.  larger 
in  diameter  than  the  one  immediately  below  it  and  each 
section  tapering  slightly  but  uniformly.  This  pile  is 
a  development  of  the  past  three  years  and  has  ful- 
filled a  long-felt  demand  for  a  cast-in-place  concrete 
pile  with  all  the  fundamental  safeguards  of  the  Ray- 
mond system  but  without  the  length  limitations  here- 
tofore inherent  in  the  cast-in-place  type  of  pile  (see 
further  description  on  follounng  page).

The  Raymond  Method  and  Its  Advantages 

The  distinguishing  feature  of  the  Raymond  system  is  the  steel  shell  driven  in  contact  with 
the  soil  and  never  withdrawn,  serving  the  following  essential  purposes : 

(1)  To  serve  as  a  form  for  the  piles. 

(2)  To  prevent  the  admixture  of  foreign  substances. 

(3)  To  retain  the  original  moisture  in  the  mixture  until  the  concrete  is  thoroughly  hardened. 

(4)  To  prevent  distortion  by  external  pressure,  due  to  the  driving  of  adjacent  piles  or  accumulated  pres- 
sures from  displacement  by  the  pile  itself. 

(5)  To  perfectly  retain  the  displaced  earth  forming  the  wall  of  the  cavity        that  there  may  be  no  relaxa- 
tion  of  the  ground  and  therefore  no  loss  of  the  resistance  to  which  the  pile  has  been  driven. 

(6)  To  act  as  reinforcement  of  the  pile  until  the  concrete  shall  have  attained  its  maximum  strength. 

These  fundamentals  are  adhered  to  in  Raymond  practice  whether  cast-in-place  piles  be  of 
the  Standard  Raymond  Taper,  the  Step  Taper,  or  the  Composite  type.

RAYMOND  CONCRETE  PILE  COMPANY 

Other  Advantages — The  use  of  concrete  piles  as  compared  with  wood  piles  has  many  advan- 
tages, among  which  arc  the  following: 

(1)  Absolute  permanency:  immunity  from  decay  or  from  the  attacks  of  wood  borers  and  de- 
stroyers (not  assured  even  by  creosoting). 

(2)  Economy,  because  of  greater  carrying  capacity — meaning  a  less  number  of  piles  for  a  given 
load.    The  greater  carrying  capacity  rests  upon  several  points — to  wit : 

(a)  Greater  size,  therefore  greater  displacement  and  frictional  area. 

(b)  Greater  taper,  therefore  greater  frictional  value  per  square  foot. 

(c)  Perfect  shape,  therefore  positive  contact  with  the  ground  at  every  point. 

(d)  Possibility  of  inspection  after  driving,  hence  the  ability  to  load  to  full  capacity,  instead  of  making  a 
large  allowance  for  inefficiency  as  in  the  case  of  wood  piles  subject  to  injury  by  over-driving,  tele- 
scoping, departing  from  the  vertical,  and  like  defects,  none  of  which  are  discernible  at  the  moment 
when  correction   is  possible. 

(e)  Decreased  length  of  pile  as  a  natural  consequence  of  greater  size  and  taper. 

(3)  Smaller  and  lighter  footings,  because  of  decreased  number  of  piles,  hence  less  dead  load  to 
be  carried. 

(4)  Required  pay  length  is  determined  after  driving. 

(5)  Practical  elimination  of  shoring,  underpinning,  sheeting,  pumping  and  deep  excavation  and 
the  reduction  of  masonry. 

(6)  Due  to  decreased  number  of  piles  and  consequent  reduction  in  width  of  wall  footings,  the 
centerline  of  columns  can  be  brought  nearer  to  the  building  line. 

(7)  Important  saving  in  time  caused  by: 

(a)  The  smaller  number  of  piles  required. 

(b)  The  reduction  in  the  amount  of  excavation,  shoring,  sheeting  and  pumping. 

(c)  The  reduction  in  quantities  of  footing  or  masonry. 

(d)  Manufacture  of  the  pile  in  place,  from  materials  readily  procurable  in  all  localities,  and  limit  of  man- 
ufacture to  the  actual  number  and  exact  length  of  piles  required.  There  is  no  delay  for  cutting  and 
trimming  trees,  hauling  to  shipping  point,  transporting  for  great  distances  by  rail  or  water  and  deliv- 
ery to  the  job,  perhaps  only  to  find  that  the  piles  are  too  long  or  too  short. 

Raymond  Standard  Tapered  Pile 

Installed  by  means  of  a  collapsible  steel  core  encased  in  a  spirally  reinforced  steel  shell  hav- 
ing the  point  closed  by  a  heavy  pressed  steel  boot.  The  thickness  of  the  steel  shell  and  the 
diameter  of  reinforcing  wire  spirals  depend  upon  the  character  of  the  soil  to  be  penetrated,  ob- 
structions encountered  in  driving,  etc. ;  all  to  the  end  that  when  the  driving  core  is  withdrawn,  the 
remaining  shell  must  constitute  a  clean  and  rigid  form  for  the  concrete,  free  from  water,  sand 
or  other  foreign  substance,  and  of  the  full  cross-section  of  the  driving  core,  thus  showing  that 
the  withdrawal  of  the  core  has  not  released  accumulated  pressures  nor  diminished  calculated  bear- 
ing values.    Inspection  to  provide  assurance  on  these  points  is  very  simple. 

The  heavy  taper  of  this  type  of  pile  offers  maximum  resistance  for  a  given  length— proved  by 
comprehensive  records  of  driving  resistance,  plus  extensive  series  of  loading  tests,  during  which 
the  real  carrying  power  of  the  pile  has  been  checked  with   the  driving 
resistance. 

The  failure  to  appreciate  these  features  of  the  tapered  pile  has  increased 
the  cost  of  many  concrete  pile  foundations  for  the  reason  that  contracts  have 
frequently  been  awarded  solely  on  the  basis  of  the  lowest  price  per  lineal  foot. 

Raymond  Step  Tapered  Pile 

This  type  of  pile  finds  its  greatest  usefulness  where  the  objective  is  direct 
bearing  in  a  stratum  of  hard  material  which  may  underlie  one  or  more  layers 
of  unstable  soil,  between  or  above  which  there  may  be  strata  of  sufficient 
hardness  or  density  to  resist  penetration  by  a  pile  whose  resistance  is  increased 
by  its  tapered  shape.    The  step  taper  pile  also  permits  of  driving  to  a  greater 
depth  than  the  ordinary  cast-in-place  pile  because  of  its  rugged  construction 
features,  being  driven  by  a  non-collapsible  hollow  steel  core  whose  projecting 
beveled  shoulders,  resulting  from  the  outward  steps  of  increased  diameter  at 
each  8  ft.  of  length,  bear  upon  the  specially  rolled  steel  rings  welded  to  the 
bottom  of  each  section.     Thus  the  blow  of  the  hammer 
is  transmitted  through  the  solid  core  to  these  rings  which, 
with   their   sloping  exterior   under-surfaces,   bear  against 
the  ground  and  tend  to  remove  from  the  path  of  the  pile 
boulders   and   other   obstructions   which   might  otherwise 
injure  the  shell.    The  shell  itself  is  spirally  corrugated  and 
electrically  welded  watertight  in  the  longitudinal  joints.  The 
shell  varies  in  thickness  from  14  to  16  gauge  up  to  as  light 
as  20  and  24  gauge,  depending  almost  entirely  upon  the 
nature  of  the  soil  to  be  penetrated.    Each  section  is  firml> 
tttached  by  screw  connection  to  the  one  above  it,  so  that 
the  shell  is  assembled  into  a  single  unit  with  all  joints 
properly  sealed  against  the  entrance  of  water  or  other  for- 
eign substance.

RAYMOND  CAST  IN-PLACE  CONCRETE  PILES 

Raymond  Step  Tapered  Piles  (Cont.) 


The  point  diameter  is  generally  10%  in.,  but  this  may  be 
varied  to  suit  job  conditions  and  is  sometimes  as  great  as 
11%  in.  and  12%  in.  Piles  of  this  type  have  been  placed  in 
lengths  up  to  100  ft.  and  can  be  made  longer  when  conditions 
require.  When  the  length  exceeds  56  ft.  the  excess  length  is 
of  uniform  diameter;  IOMj  in.  to  10%  in.  diameter  and  the 
shell  of  V4:  in.  to  %  in.  in  thickness,  with  cast  steel  or  cast  iron 
driving  point. 

Since  this  pile  was  introduced  in  ,  some  1,000,000  feet  of 


these  piles  in  forty-three  separate  jobs,  and  under  a  great 
variety  of  conditions,  have  been  installed  on  important  Govern- 
ment, State  and  corporate  works.  In  all  cases  they  have  re- 
ceived the  enthusiastic  approval  of  the  engineers  and  others 
interested.  These  piles  have  in  many  cases  been  successfully 
driven  to  penetration  through  materials  heretofore  regarded  as 
impossible.  This  type  of  pile  has  proved  to  be  very  economi- 
cal as  compared  with  any  other  type  where  long  piles  are 
necessary. 


Usually  Raymond  Concrete  Cast-in-Place  Piles  are  driven  to  a  working 
load  of  30  tons  each,  hut  in  some  cases  from  35  to  40  tons  are  safely 
carried.  A  working  load  of  30  tons  per  pile  is  accepted  as  standard  by 
most  building  departments.  The  usual  spacing  of  the  Standard  Tapered 
Pile  is  2-ft.  6-in.  centers  for  piles  up  to  30  ft.  in  length;  for  piles  in 
excess  of  30  ft.  in  length,  a  spacing  of  3-ft.  centers  is  more  desirable. 
For  Step  Tapered  Piles,  however,  regardless  of  length,  a  2-ft.  6-in.  spac- 
ing is  usually  satisfactory. 

In  view  of  the  very  wide  variation  in  soil  condi- 
tions and  other  considerations  affecting  both  the  price 
and  the  design,  it  is  suggested  that  the  nearest  Ray- 
mond office  be  conferred  with,  so  that  the  site  can  be 
investigated  and  recommendations  made. 


Loads  and  Spacings 

In   calculating  the   resistance   to   penetration,   the  Engineering  News 
formula,  based  on  using  a  steam  hammer,  has  been  generally  adopted  by 
the  engineering  profession. 
This  formula  follows: 


L  =  Load  in  pounds 
2  W  H  J  \V  =  Weight  of  falling  parts  in  pounds 
L  =  c  I  n  1  1  H  =  Drop  in  feet  of  falling  parts 

S  =  Final  penetration  per  blow  in  inches 


S-fO.l 


A  No.  1  steam  hammer  has  a  weight  of    lb.  falling  36  in. 
A  No.  2  steam  hammer  has  a  weight  of    lb.  falling  30  in. 

Thus  the  carrying  capacity  of  the  Raymond  Concrete  Pile  is  not  a 
matter  of  guesswork  or  speculation,  but  is  susceptible  of  computation  and 
demonstration. 


Prices 

The  Raymond  Concrete  PUe  is  "made-in-place"  and  For  even  approximate  prices   it  is  necessary  to  have  ^o"^^J;"°-I^dge 

not  sold  by  the  foot,  f.o.b.  cars,  consequently  it  is       of  the  number  of  piles,  probable  length,  the  approximate  spacmg.  sod 
impossible  to  quote  prices  without  knowing  the  condi-       conditions,  accessibility  of  the  site,  etc. 
tions  under  which  the  work  is  to  be  done. 


If  "Raymond  Concrete  Piles"  are  called  for,  this 
is  of  course  sufficient.  On  the  other  hand,  if  it  is 
for  any  reason  inadvisable  to  name  them  specifically, 
the  following  specifications  will  cover: 

"Concrete  piles  shall  be  of  a  type  specially  approved 
by  the  architect  or  engineer,  and  shall  be  placed  in 
the  following  manner: 

A  steel  viandrel  or  pile  core  shall  be  encased  in  a 
spirally  reinforced  steel  shell  (8  in.  in  diameter  at 
the  point  and  20  in.  30  ft.  above  that  point),  and 
driven  to  a  proper  penetration. 

(Note:  Where  special  conditions  indicate  the  de- 
sirability of  Raymond  Step  Tapered  Concrete  Piles, 
change  the  parenthesis  in  the  above  paragraph  to 
read: 


diameter  40  ft.  above 


Specifications 

"10  in.  in  diameter  at  the  point  and  15  in. 
that  point.") 

The  pile  core  shall  then  be  withdrazvn  from  the  shell. 
Before  placing  the  concrete,  each  shell  shall  be  inspected  and,  being 
found  perfect,  shall  thereupon  be  filled  with  concrete  placed  in  accordance 
with  the  best  practice." 


"Moulded-in-place  piles  shall  be  of  a  type  suitable  for  the  conditions 
and  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  architect  or  engineer.  They  shall  be 
formed  in  driven  casings  permanently  left  in  place,  ivhich  shall  be  of 
sufficient  strength  to  prevent  distortion  or  bulging  after  mandrel  has  been 
withdrawn  and  while  the  cavity  is  being  filled  zvith  concrete  or  during  the 
driving  of  adjacent  casings." 


RAYMOND  COMPOSITE  PILES  (Wood  and  Concrete) 


The  Composite  Pile  sJioz^m  at  the  left,  Ivds  its 
own  particular  place  in  the  scheme  of  ''A  Pile 
for  Every  Purpose."  It  was  developed  by  this 
Company  to  supply  dependable  foundations  for 
one  of  the  largest  plants  in  the  country,  where 
hard  pan  lay  at  depths  varying  from  70  to  110 
feet,  the  soil  from  the  surface  down  to  that 


point  being  soft  clay  and  silt  and  utterly  unreliable  for  either 
spread  footings  or  concrete  piles  of  any  length  practicable  from 
the  standpoint  of  cost.  At  various  times,  during  and  since  . 
approximately  50,000  Raymond  Composite  piles,  varying  in 
length  from  60  to  120  ft.,  have  been  driven  for  this  plant  alone. 
The  elevation  of  permanent  moisture  in  relation  to  the  cut-off 
of  the  piles  was  such  that  the  concrete  section  of  the  pile  was,

in  general,  about  15  ft.  in  length.  As  will  be  readily  apparent, 
the  matter  of  prime  importance  in  this  type  of  pile  is  the  joint 
between  the  concrete  and  wood  sections — the  considerations 
being  (1)  a  seal  between  the  two  sections  to  prevent  the  en- 
trance of  mud  and  water,  and  (2)  2i  sufficient  anchorage  to 
prevent  the  concrete  section  heaving  and  separating  from  the 


wood.  The  Raymond  Company  has  perfected  several  joint 
types  which  are  reliable  and  economical — four  of  which  are 
illustrated  at  the  bottom  of  the  preceding  page — and  the  ques- 
tion of  a  proper  joint  is  no  longer  a  problem.  However,  the 
particular  type  applicable  to  the  particular  situation  requires 
consideration  in  individual  cases. 


RAYMOND  PRE  CAST  CONCRETE  PILES 


Pre-cast  piles  are  cast  in 
moulds  and  then  driven  in 
place  like  wooden  piles. 

They  have  a  large  and  use- 
ful field  of  application,  par- 
ticularly in  marine  structures, 
such  as  docks,  bulkheads, 
and  similar  structures. 


The  Raymond  Concrete 
Pile  Company  is  prepared 
through  its  experience,  to  give 
good  advice  on  the  use  of  pre- 
cast piles,  and  also  to  design 
and  construct  work  in  which  a 
pre-cast  pile  can  be  used  eco- 
nomically and  advantageously. 


SPECIAL  CONCRETE  CONSTRUCTION 


In  addition  to  the  placing  of  standard  Raymond  Concrete  Piles 
for  foundation  of  structures  on  land,  we  construct  and  design 
permanent  docks,  piers,  bulkheads,  trestles,  storage  bins,  retain- 


ing walls,  bridges,  heavy  foundations,  shipways,  dry-docks,  etc. 

Each  problem  requires  special  study  for  solution  and  our 
experienced  organization  is  yours  to  command.

great  as  120  feet. 

The  Gow  Company,  through  its  engineering  connections,  is  also  equipped 
to  install  circular  caissons  by  the  mud  laden  fluid  rotary  drilling  method 
which  has  been  developed,  for  use  in  lieu  of  the  pneumatic  method,  where 
quicksand,  etc.,  is  encountered.

The  personnel  of  the  Spencer  White  &  Prentis, 
Inc.,  companies  have  been  engaged  for  many  years  in 
engineering  operations.  They  have  developed  numerous 
construction  processes,  among  which  are  Tuba  Steel 
Foundations,  the  installation  of  foundations  for  new 
buildings  under  existing  buildings  on  the  site  either  be- 
fore or  during  demolition  of  the  latter,  Pretest  Founda-

Caisson  Foundations 


Spencer  White  &  Pren-

caisson  foundations  including 
the  deepest  building  founda- 
tion in  the  world,  and  are  fully 
equipped  to  do  both  pneu- 
matic and  open  caisson  work. 
Improved  methods  for  in- 
stalling caisson  foundations, 
which  reduce  both  the  cost 


and  the  time  required  for  installation,  have  been  de- 
veloped by  these  companies.    Under  many  conditions 
these  newer  methods  permit  the  use  of  open  caissons  in

Foundations  Under  Existing  Buildings 

To  save  time  in  construction,  Spencer  White  &  Prentis,  Inc., 
have  developed  methods  for  installing  new  building  foundations 
prior  to  or  during  the  demolition  of  existing  buildings  on  the  site. 
The  time  saved  has  run  from  four  to  six  months  on  big  operations, 
and  in  one  case  has  made  it  possible  to  demolish  existing  buildings 
and  erect  a  new  70-story  building  in  eleven  months. 

Caissons  to  rock,  Tuba  Steel  Foundations  to  rock,  or  spread  foot- 
ings are  installed  in  the  basements  of  the  old  buildings  on  the  site. 
When  necessary,  due  to  lack  of  space  or  time,  temporary  footings 
are  installed  sufficient  to  carry  only  a  part  of  the 
ultimate  load,  and  are  increased  in  size  later. 

Steel  erection  is  started  immediately  upon  corn- 
pletion  of  the  demolition,  sometimes  before  it  is 
finished.  After  the  steelwork  is  under  way,  the 
general  excavation  and  incidental  work  are  done 
and  the  temporary  foundations  are  increased  to 
their  permanent  size.

Tuba  Steel 

Tuba  Steel  Foundations  are  composed  of  groups  of 
concrete  filled  steel  cylinders.  They  provide  permanent 
rock-bearing  support  at  great  savings  in  time  and  ex- 
pense over  open  or  pneumatic  caissons. 

The  Tuba  Steel  Cylinders  which  comprise  these  foun- 
dations are  steel  tubing,  10%  to  20  ins.  outside  di- 
ameter, to  %  in.  thick,  driven  to  rock  by  steam  or 
pneumatic  hammers. 

Sections  of  tubing  are  joined  together  by  internal 
cast  steel  sleeves.   After  being  seated  on  the  rock  they 


Foundations 

are  cleaned  out,  filled  with  concrete  and  capped  with 
reinforced  concrete. 

Safety — Tuba  Steel  Cylinders  derive  their  support 
from  end  bearing  and  not  from  skin  friction.  On  this 
account  they  are  not  subject  to  damaging  settlement  and 
are  not  affected  by  future  adjoining  operations.  When 
driven  to  rock  they  are  the  equivalent  in  every  respect 
of  caisson  piers. 

Speed — Tuba  Steel  Foundations  effect  a  time  saving 
over  open  caissons  of  50%   or  more,  and  can  be

than  concrete  or  wood  pile 

Tuba  Steel  Cylinders  can  be 
installed  at  much  lower  cost 
than  caisson  piers  to  rock. 
For  great  depths,  water  con- 
ditions, and  where  piers  are  to 
be  installed  near  adjoining 
structures,  the  saving  is  very 
great.  They  can  usually  com- 
pete in  price  with  any 
type  of  pile  founda- 
tion.

Note:  When  rock  is  at  a 
prohibitive  depth,  Tuba  Steel 
Cylinders  are  driven  to  other 
strata.  So  driven,  they  have  all 
of  the  advantages  of  Tuba  Steel 
P^oundations  to  rock,  except  that 
the  loadings  are  reduced. 


Pretest  Underpinning  (Patented) 

Pretest  Underpinning  is  employed  to  provide  new 
and  deeper  foundations  for  existing  structures  when 
adjacent  excavations  are  to  be  made  which  may  affect 
the  existing  foundations.  It  is  also  employed  to  arrest 
the  settlement  of  structures  whose  foundations  have 
proved  inadequate  and  to  increase  the  bearing  capacity 
of  existing  foundations  to  which  loads  are  to  be  added. 

Advantages — Pretest  Underpinning  is  applicable  to 
every  type  of  structure  and  to  nearly  every  ground  con- 
dition. It  entails  the  least  interference  with  the  full 
use  of  the  structure  and  of  adjoining  property  and 
streets    during  installa- 


tion. Pretest  Underpin- 
ning eliminates  damage 
through  settlement  by  re- 
ducing settlement  to  the 
absolute  minimum. 

Pretest  Method— De- 
tails of  the  Pretest  Un- 
derpinning method  are 
varied  as  required  to 
meet  individual  condi- 
tions. Generally,  sectional 
steel  cylinders  are  jacked 
down  beneath  the  founda- 
tion of  a  structure  to  a 
satisfactory  bearing  ma- 
terial, cleaned  out  and 
filled  with  concrete.  Each 


cylinder  is  then  tested  to  overload,  usually  50%  in 
excess  of  permanent  load,  and  the  load  of  the  struc- 
ture is  transferred  to  the  cylinder  by  the  patented  Pre- 
test wedging  method  which  maintains  the  full  test  load 
on  the  cylinder  during  wedging.  Under  any  other 
method  the  test  load  is  released,  resulting  in  rebound 
of  the  cylinder  and  subsequent  settlement  when  the  load 
of  the  structure  is  applied.  Pretest  Underpinning  pre- 
vents this  rebound  and  eliminates  settlement  or  reduces 
it  to  a  negligible  amount. 

Where  Used — Pretest  Underpinning  has  been  in- 
stalled under  hundreds 
of  structures,  including 
buildings  up  to  28  stories 
in  height,  bridge  piers, 
elevated  railroads,  retain- 
ing walls,  chimneys,  etc. 
It  has  been  used  for  un- 
derpinning the  buildings 
along  many  miles  of  sub- 
ways in  New  York  and 
Philadelphia. 

Concentrated  loads  up 
to    tons  have  been 
underpinned  by  the  Pre- 
test Method,  and  cylin- 
ders have  penetrated  to 
depths  as  great  as  90 
Testing  and  Wedging  Pretest  Cylinders  ft. 


Concrete  Underpinning 

For  structures  on  dry  materials  at  reasonable  depth,  plain 
concrete  underpinning  is  used.  The  modern  method  is  to  sink 
pits — so  located  and  constructed  that,  generally,  no  needling 
or  shoring  is  required — build  concrete  walls  or  piers  in  the 
pits  up  to  the  existing  foundations  and  transfer  the  load  to 
the  new  footings  by  dry  packing  or  wedging. 

Pretest  Soil  Tests 

The  Pretest  Method  (patented)  is  a  most  accurate  means 


of  determining  the  bearing  value  of  soils  at  reasonable  cost. 
Reaction  is  obtained  under  an  existing  structure,  against  the 
sides  of  a  pit  or  against  a  loaded  platform.  The  test  is  made 
by  hydraulic  jacks  on  any  desired  area  and  can  be  maintained 
at  any  loading  for  as  long  a  period  as  desired. 

Mass  Concrete  Construction 

Spencer  White  &  Prentis,  Inc.,  install  heavy  concrete  struc- 
tures such  as  bridge  piers,  viaducts,  dams,  retaining  walls,  etc., 
especially  under  difficult  conditions.

that  no  one  type  of  foundation  is  either  economically 
or  engineeringly  correct  for  all  soil  conditions. 

Three  typical  methods  are  shown  below.  Folder 
will  be  mailed  on  request  showing  numerous  other  types 
and  giving  full  specifications. 

We  invite  correspondence  and  would  be  glad  to 
have  our  engineers  confer  with  any  one  relative  to  their 
problems. 


Compressed  Concrete  Pile 

(a)  An  apparatus  consisting  of 
a  heavy  steel  drive  casing  and  solid 
pointed  core  driven  into  ground 
until  required  resistance  to  driving 
is  obtained. 

(b)  Core  removed. 

(c)  Casing  filled  with  concrete 
of  coarse  aggregate  and  small  slump 
and  core  replaced  in  contact  with 
concrete.  Note  that  the  force  nec- 
essary to  withdraw  casing  passes 
through  core  and  therefore  through 
concrete  so  that  there  is  no  chance 
of  withdrawing  casing  without  a 
simultaneous  deposit  of  concrete 
taking   place   under   high  pressure. 

(d)  Finished  pile;  drive  casing 
removed

Composite  Pile  (Cased  Concrete  and  Wood  with 
Reinforced  Splice) 

(a)  A  heavy  steel  casing  and  a  solid  pointed  core 
driven  into  ground  to  a  point  well  below  permanent 
ground  water  level. 

(b)  Core  removed  and  a  wooden  pile  driven  through 
casing  using  the  core  as  a  follower.  Wooden  pile  is 
provided  with  rope  grommets  to  exclude  water  and  mud. 

(c)  Core  removed  and  corrugated  rnetal  shell,  carry- 
ing reinforcing  cage  at  lower  end,  inserted  in  casing 
and  over  head  of  wood  pile. 

(d)  Corrugated  shell  filled  with  concrete;  heavy 
casing  removed. 

Detail  of  Splice — Wire-wound  tenon  of  pile,  splice 
reinforcement  (spiral  and  verticals),  dogs  which  pre- 
vent lifting  of  shell  due  to  driving  of  adjacent  piles 
before  concrete  is  set,  and  spacers  and  grommets  which 
center  wood  pile  in  driving  casing,  form  a  seat  for 
corrugated  shell,  and  exclude  mud  and  water 


Cased  Pedestaled  Concrete  Pile 

(a)  A  heavy  steel  casing  and  a 
solid  pointed  core  are  driven  into 
ground  until  solid  strata  is  reached. 

(b)  Core  removed  and  a  wet 
mixed  concrete  placed  in  casing. 
With  core  in  contact  with  deposited 
concrete,  casing  is  pulled  over  core 
until  again  fully  entered  in  casing. 

(c)  Core  and  casing  together 
are  redriven  through  deposited  con- 
crete, spreading  it  to  form  a  pedestal. 

(d)  Core  removed  and  a  corru- 
gated metal  shell  placed  inside  cas- 
ing. Shell  is  filled  with  concrete 
and  casing  removed,  soft  concrete 
in  i)edestal  flowing  around  it

thoroughly  sanitary  as  well  as 
fireproof,  though  it  may  be 
readily  cleaned.

Although  initial  cost  of  marble  may  be  slightly  in 
excess  of  certain  other  materials,  in  the  end  it  is  no 
more  expensive. 

Care  and  Cleaning  of  Marble 

Marble  is  entitled  at  all  times  to  the  treatment 
which  is  given  to  any  other  fine  product.  It  should  be 
kept  free  from  dirt  and  sources  of  stain,  not  alone 
while  the  building  is  in  progress,  but  throughout  its 
long  and  serviceable  life. 

Marble  needs  no  redecorating  or  refinishing  but 
does  need  occasional  cleaning,  and  that  work  should  be 
intelligently  done. 

A  little  book  issued  by  the  Vermont  Marble  Com- 
pany, contains  all  the  necessary  instructions.  This  book 
will  be  sent  to  any  one  who  will  take  the  trouble  to 
write  for  it. 

Internal  Structure 

All  Vermont  Marbles  are  made  up  of  tightly  inter- 
locked crystals.  This  not  only  gives  them  strength  and 
durability,  but  adapts  them  to  sculptural  and  other  intri- 
cate forms  where  fineness  of  detail  is  essential. 

Composition 

The  composition  of  marble  is  less  complex  than 
almost  any  other  stone.  It  is  almost  pure  carbonate 
of  lime,  98%  or  over  in  the  form  of  the  mineral  calcite 
(CaC03). 

A  typical  white  calcite  Vermont  marble  slightly 
mottled  with  gray,  according  to  Geological  Survey  Bul- 
letin 521,  gives  the  following  analysis: 

Carbonates   99.174 

Manganese  and  alumi- 
num oxide  005 

Insolubles  63 

Organic  matter  08 

99.889 


Compressive  Strength 

The  importance  of  crush- 
ing strength  is  greatly  over- 
estimated. Most  stones  on  the 
market  will  support  ten  times 
as  much  weight  as  is  ever  re- 
quired of  them. 

It  means  little  to  the 
average  person  to  say  that  a 
stone  will  stand  so  many  thou- 
sand pounds  to  the  square 
inch.  It  is  much  simpler  to 
say  that  the  marbles  we  rec- 
ommend for  exterior  building 
work  could  be  used  in  the 
base  of  a  tower  2Y>  to  3  miles 
high  before  failure  from  com- 
pression alone  would  result. 


Marble  is  unusually  flexible.  Blocks  of  stone  used  in 
a  building  are  often  subjected  to  a  bending  strain  due  to 
improper  setting.  The  movement  necessary  to  relieve 
the  strain  may  be  imperceptible  but  it  is  enough  to  crack 
the  average  stone.  Most  marbles  are  flexible  enough  to 
allow  readjustments  to  take  place  instead  of  fracture. 

The  weight  of  marble  is  approximately  170  lbs.  to 
a  cubic  foot. 

Hardness 

Hardness  in  a  stone  simply  means  that  it  will 
resist  abrasion,  not  that  it  will  resist  exposure  to  the 
weather. 

The  rock  in  which  diamonds  (the  hardest  known 
substance)  occur  is  made  of  two  minerals — one  having 
a  hardness  of  6  to  7  Moh's  Scale  and  the  other  a  hard- 
ness of  5.  The  surrounding  rock  is  made  up  largely  of 
a  mineral  having  a  hardness  of  2^2.-  The  diamond- 
bearing  rock  is  much  harder — yet  it  weathers  and  dis- 
integrates so  much  more  rapidly  than  the  soft  surround- 
ing rock  that  circular  depressions  mark  the  place  where 
it  is  found. 

Absorption 

The  freezing  of  moisture,  completely  filling  open 
spaces  in  a  rock,  is  the  most  severe  test  to  which  that 
rock  can  be  subjected.  No  stone  has  been  found  which 
is  unaffected  by  this  test.  It  follows,  therefore,  that 
other  factors  being  the  same,  the  best  stone  is  one  which 
will  exclude  moisture  most  completely.  Water  expands 
when  it  freezes  and  forces  the  containing  walls  farther 
apart.  Fracturing  due  to  this  cause  increases  greatly 
with  the  increase  in  absorption.

Other  things  being  equal  the  stones  which  absorb 
the  most  water  will  be  least  likely  to  endure. 

The  following  statement  was  made  by  Dr.  Hiram 
A.  Cutting,  the  eminent  geologist : 

"I  have  no  doubt  that  the  capacity  of  a  stone  to 
absorb  moisture  is  against  its  durability  even  in  the 
warm  climates,  and  vastly  more  so  in  a  changeable  and 
wintry  climate  where  it  is  often  frozen  before  any  con- 
siderable part  of  the  moisture  from  autumn  rains  can 
be  evaporated." 

In  addition  to  the  exceptionally  low  absorption  of 
Vermont  marble,  all  the  pore  space  is  not  filled  upon 
immersion. 

The  air  that  is  locked  in  the  micro-crevices  is  com- 
pressed under  freezing  conditions  and  acts  as  a  cushion, 
saving  the  stone  from  the  rupturing  action  of  freezing. 

In  the  flood  of    the  Vermont  marble  interior  of 
the  City  National  Bank,  Dayton,  Ohio,  was  subjected  to 
an  unusual  water  test.  Although  it  was  submerged  for 
three  days,  all  that  was  needed  to  restore  it  to  its  original 
condition  was  a  little  cleaning.

Weathering 

Marble  is  the  result  of  a  sedimen- 
tary formation  that  has  been  meta- 
morphosed by  heat  and  ]M-essure  to 
a  crystalline  product.   In  this  process 
any  unstable  constituents  have  been 
reduced  to  their  ultimate  condition 
and  cannot  decay  further  from  atmos- 
pheric agencies  alone. 
The  CO2  fumes  in  the  atmosphere  of  the  mod- 
ern city,  when  combined  with  rain  water,  have  a  sol- 
vent effect  on  natural  building  stones.    The  effect  is 
in  proportion  to  the  freedom  with  which  the  acid 
may  move  through  a  rock.  Marble  is  so  impervious  to 
moisture  that  the  action  is  limited  to  the  exposed  sur- 
faces of  the  stone. 

In  the  process  of  weathering  there  is  formed  a 
protective  coating  which  is  nature's  own  best  preserva- 
tive.  That  is  one  reason  why  we  do  not  recommend 


the  sandblast  for  cleaning. 

Fire  Resistance 

Vermont  marble  will  stand  a  heat  of  °  F.  with- 
out injury. 

The  Security  Savings  Bank,  San  Francisco,  a  Ver- 
mont marble  structure,  w^as  in  the  path  of  the  great 
fire.  Adjoining  buildings  of  brick  and  stone  were 
ruined  by  the  intense  heat,  but  the  Security  Bank  re- 
mained intact.  Several  other  cases  of  this  kind  might 
be  cited.

COLD  SPRING  GRANITE  COMPANY,  INC. 

Quarriers  and  Producers  of  Granite

COLD  SPRING,  MINN. 


Variety  of  Products 

COLD  SPRING  RAINBOW  GRANITE. 
COLD  SPRING  PEARL  PINK  GRANITE. 
COLD  SPRING  PEARL  WHITE  GRANITE. 
COLD  SPRING  PEARL  BLACK  GRANITE. 

Cold  Spring  Modern  Economies 

The  modern  methods  of  quarrying  emploj^ed  in  reducing 
waste  and  producing  quarry  stock  of  approximately  true  rectan- 
gularity  together  with  the  modern  cutting  and  finishing  proc- 
esses, most  of  which  are  accompHshed  by  machine,  reduces 
to  a  reasonable  basis  the  hitherto  high  cost  of  the  old  hand 
methods  in  producing  both  cut  and  polished  granite. 

No  excess  stock  is  shipped  since  the  stock  is  sawed  to  uni- 
form thickness  which,  depending  on  its  use  and  location,  may 
be  as  thin  as  one  and  one-half  (IV2)  inches. 


Recommended  Economical  Finishes 

Samples  of  stock  and  finish  will  be  furnished  on  request. 

Machine  Smooth — A  very  attractive  and  economical  pebbled 
surface  produced  by  shotting  or  rubbing  the  stock  after  it  comes 
from  the  saw. 

Rubbed — A  uniformly  smooth  surface  produced  by  rubbing 
with  carborundum.  In  all  but  the  polished  finish,  we  recom- 
mend rubbed  moulds  and  step  risers,  for  an  economy,  as  well 
as  to  assure  true  profiles  and  sharp  arrises. 

Polished — Permanent  high  polish. 

Service 

The  Cold  Spring  Granite  Company,  Inc.  is  prepared  to  co- 
operate to  the  fullest  degree  with  Architects  and  Contractors 
in  the  successful  and  economical  use  of  its  products.  Pre- 
liminary estimates  wiil  be  furnished  on  request. 


THIN  POLISHED  GRANITE  IS  IDEAL  FOR  STORE  FRONT  MODERNIZATION 


Taylor  Department  Store,  Cleveland,  Ohio 

Modernized  with  Thin  Polished  Cold  Spring  Pearl  Black  Granite 
Walker  and  Weeks,  Architects 


The  use  of  Polished  Granite  in  thin  slabs  of  one  (1),  one 
and  one-half  (IMi),  and  two  (2)  inch  thicknesses  for  the 
facing  of  street  level  facades  of  both  new  and  modernized 
business  buildings,  store  fronts,  bulkheads,  etc.,  has  been  proven 
not  only  most  attractive  in  appearance  but  actually  the  most 
economical  material  that  can  be  selected  for  these  purposes.  It 
is  interesting  to  note  that  the  leading  merchants  throughout  the 
country  for  the  past  several  years,  realizing  the  inherent,  per- 
manent beauty  of  color  and  finish  of  polished  granite  and  its 
negligible  maintenance  cost,  have  selected  this  material  for  their 
store  fronts.  In  sawing  thin  slabs  of  granite,  it  is  necessary 
that  V2  in.  thickness  variation  be  allowed. 

Outstanding  Advantages  and  Economies 

1.  Permanence  of  color  and  finish. 

2.  Variety  of  colors  and  types  of  granite. 

3.  Saving  in  stock  due  to  modern  quarry  methods. 

4.  Saving  in  manufacturing  costs  on  return  heads,  etc.,  due 
to  thinner  stock. 

5.  All  cutting,  fitting,  drilling,  etc.,  is  done  at  the  plant  with 
modern  machinery,  thus  saving  expensive  field  fabrication. 

6.  Saving  in  freight. 

7.  Saving  in  erection  cost  in  handling  and  setting. 

Prompt  Shipments 

Having  furnished  granite  for  hundreds  of  store  fronts,  we 
recognize  the  importance  of  maintaining  opening  dates  in  con- 
struction schedules,  and  therefore  we : 

1.  Have  a  large  supply  of  granite  slabs  on  hand  in  the  most 
popular  sizes  and  thicknesses. 

2.  Have  an  experienced  drafting  department  which  will 
secure  the  necessary  information  in  time  for  us  to  maintain 
prompt  shipping  dates. 

3.  Can  make  shipments  on  moderate  sized  jobs  within  three 
days  after  the  receipt  of  all  working  information. 

4.  Can  arrange  for  truck  shipments  to  many  parts  of  the 
country  which  assures  transit  time  of  from  one  to  two  days.

GOSS  PINK  DEER  ISLE  GRANITE 

For  Buildings,  Memorials  and  General  Construction — Polished,  Hammered,  Pointed  or  Rock-faced 


Color,  Texture  and  Finishes 

Goss  Pink  Deer  Isle  Granite  is  a  medium  gray,  colored  with 
lavender  pink  feldspar.  Polishing,  which  brings  out  the  colors 
and  develops  an  interesting  pattern  of  crystals  and  markings, 
is  recommended  for  base  courses  next  to  the  sidewalk  or 
where  liable  to  become  soiled. 

A  rubbed  or  honed  surface  gives  some  of  the  same  advan- 
tages but  does  not  have  the  high  gloss. 

For  most  general  purposes  and  especially  in  connection  with 
moulded  members  or  carved  details  a  hammered  finish  is 
advised. 

A  pointed  surface  has  an  interesting  but  inexpensive  finish 
with  strong  texture. 

It  is  sometimes  possible  to  obtain  astonishing  reductions  in 
cost  by  using  granite  veneer  with  sawxd  finish,  large  plain 
surfaces  and  details  laid  out  for  the  carborundum  machine. 

We  will  welcome  opportunities  to  consult  with  designers  w^ho 
would  like  to  accomplish  this. 

Compressive  Strength 

Tests  in  the  laboratory  of 
Massachusetts  Institute  of  Tech- 
nology give  an  average  com- 
pressive strength  of  32,250  lbs. 
per  sq.  in.  This  is  well  above 
all  structural  or  code  require- 
ments. 


Where  Obtainable 

Any  responsible  manufacturer 
or  dealer  can  supply  this  material. 
The  rough  granite  and  sawed  slabs 
are  shipped  to  finishing  plants  all 
over  the  country,  which  are 
equipped  to  furnish  all  classes  of 
work.  A  large  number  of  plants 
carry  stocks  on  hand,  and  the 
quarry  always  stands  ready  to 
supplement  these  with  prompt 
shipments  of  any  sizes,  shapes  or 
quantities. 

We  will  be  pleased  to  assist  you 
in  getting  in  touch  with  subcon- 


tractors in  position  to  handle  your  particular  project  to  best 
advantage,  or  to  give  preliminary  estimates. 

Production  and  Deliveries 

The  natural  advantages  of  the  quarry  site— a  free  working 
formation,  so  located  that  the  product  travels  the  short  dis- 
tance to  our  tidewater  dock  by  gravity— have  been  developed 
with  the  best  modern  equipment— derricks,  compressors,  air 
tools,  granite  saws,  etc.,  which  are  constantly  being  improved, 
replaced  and  kept  up-to-date. 

This  makes  it  possible  to  give  prompt  deliveries,  on  large 
or  small  orders,  and  to  furnish  monoliths  of  any  size  that 
may  be  desired.  We  ship  by  water  directly  from  our  quarry 
dock  to  seaport  cities,  or  deliver  to  railroads  at  Rockland, 
Me.;  Portland,  Ale.;  Boston,  Mass.;  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  and 
Wilmington,  Del. 

Specifications 

Standard  specifications  will  be  forwarded  on  request. 
These  may  be  detailed  or  in  short  form,  as  preferred.

The  Association  and  Its  Purpose 

The  chief  aim  of  this  Association  is  to  further  the 
use  and  sale  of  granite  for  building  purposes  by  extend- 
ing the  knowledge  of  its  many  qualities  and  merits,  and 
by  establishing  means  of  closer  co-operation  between 
producers  of  granite  and  architects  and  the  general 
building  public. 

The  Association  offers  an  unbiased  service  to  archi- 
tects and  others  interested  in  the  use  of  granite  for 
permanent  construction.  This  service  is  freely  offered 
wherever  it  may  assist  in  the  logical  and  proper  use  of 
granite  or  help  to  solve  the  economic  and  aesthetic  prob- 
lems which  may  arise.  Requests  for  samples  and  in- 
formation will  be  handled  promptly. 


Natural  Qualifications 

Granite  has  exceptional  strength  and  durability,  is 
practically  non-absorbent,  and  indefinitely  withstands 
exposure  to  climate  and  weather.  It  is  available  in  a 
wide  range  of  colors  and  textures  and  has  inherent 
beauty  and  character  to  be  found  in  few  other  materials. 

Granite  is  exceptionally  well  suited  for  use  in  build- 
ings where  the  exterior  facing  serves  as  a  decorative  and 
protective  veneer  rather  than  as  a  structural  element. 
Extensive  development  and  use  of  saws  and  carborun- 
dum machines  in  the  granite  industry  have  made  the 
furnishing  of  granite  veneer  both  feasible  and  eco- 
nomical.

Mount  Airy  granite,  ''TJic  Granite  of  Individuality," 
is  a  very  light  gray,  almost  white,  biotite  granite  of 
medium  texture.  Feldspar,  quartz  and  mica  characterize 
the  granite  megascopically.  The  feldspar  is  nearly  white, 
w^hile  the  quartz  is  a  blue  gray  and  the  mica  black  and 
very  evenly  distributed,  giving  an  appearance  of  decided 
strong  character.

The  mineral  constituents  of  Hitchcock  Supreme 
Quincy  Granite  (feldspar,  smoky  quartz  and  horn- 
blende) make  this  the  ideal  granite  for  all  construction. 
Polished,  it  provides  the  desired  contrast  to  all  other 
building  materials  as  well  as  to  Hitchcock  Hammered 
finish.  Hammered,  it  has  a  beautiful  medium  to  light 
gray  tone.

ESTABLISHED    SULLIVAN     GRANITE     COMPANY         NCORPORATED  907 

Sole  Producers  of  Extra  Fine  Grained  Blue-White  Westerly  Granite 

Known  as  Sullivan-Westerly  Granite 

WESTERLY.  R.  I. 


SULLIVAN-WESTERLY  GRANITE 


One  Quality- 

We  quarry  Extra  Fine  Grained 
Blue-White  Westerly  Granite  for 
Mausoleums,  ^lonuments,  Statues  and 
other  Memorials.  Trade  name  Sulli- 
van-Westerly Granite. 


Character  of  Granite 

It  is  the  appropriateness  of  the  de- 
sign, the  quality  of  the  granite,  and  the 
excellence  of  the  workmanship,  that 
determine  the  worth  of  a  memorial. 

Visit  any  cemetery  and  you  will 
note  that  Sullivan-Westerly  Granite 
stands  out  from  all  other  granites  in 
beauty  and  distinction.  In  fact,  its  de- 
sirability is  so  apparent  that  to  see 
memorials  of  this  granite  is  to  be  positively  assured  of 
its  unequalled  quality  and  beauty.  Its  obvious  merit 
creates  its  demand. 

Sullivan- Westerly  Granite,  quarried  since  ,  has 
long  been  proved  absolutely  dependable  in  every  respect 
for  a  thoroughly  satisfactory  memorial.  It  is  a  hard, 
dense,  exceedingly  fine  grained  granite,  very  white  in 
color,  and  totally  free  from  all  mineral  substances 
which  cause  deterioration. 

The  specific  gravity  of  Sullivan-Westerly  Granite 
is  2.654,  which  is  equivalent  to  165  pounds  to  the  cubic 
foot.  The  crushing  strength  of  Sullivan-Westerlx- 
Granite  is  29,500  pounds  per  square  inch,  making  our 
granite  particularly  suitable  for  large  memorials  and 
mausoleums. 

It  has  long  been  acknowledged  the  handsomest  and 
finest  of  memorial  granites. 

Largest  Blocks  Available 

It  is  not  unusual  for  us  to  ship  blocks  weighing  from 
fifty  to  sixty  tons.    OiU'  quarry  derricks  deliver  the 


-O71C  Price — One  Name — Ahmys  the  Same 

stone  direct  on 


the  cars.  Our  ow^n 
tracks  are  connected  with  the  main 
line  of  the  New  York,  New  Haven  & 
Hartford  Railroad.  In  every  detail 
the  equipment  of  the  Sullivan 
Granite  Company  is  such  that  we 
can  fill  all  orders,  up  to  the  limit  of 
transportation,  promptly  and  satis- 
factorilv. 


Value  of  Correct  Design 

The  selection  of  a  memorial  is  an 
important  matter.  Your  object  is  to 
honor  the  dead,  to  mark  a  last  rest- 
ing place  suitably,  in  a  permanent  and 
dignified  manner. 
What  a  feeling  of  reverence  and  respect  is  inspired 
when  we  look  upon  the  memorial  that  is  beautiful  and 
fitting,  be  it  elaborate  or  modest  in  its  proportions.  Our 
cemeteries  show  too  few  examples  of  these  w^orthy 
tributes  to  our  dead,  memorials  of  true  and  enduring 
beauty. 

It  is  well  to  remember  that  size  has  no  bearing  as  a 
measure  of  value.  A  smaller  memorial  of  absolute 
w  orth — positive  in  the  quality  of  permanence,  perfect  in 
every  detail — is  of  infinitely  greater  value  than  a  larger 
memorial  of  ordinary  grade. 

One  Grade  Only 

Only  one  grade  of  Sullivan- Westerly  Granite,  of 
unvarying  fine  quality,  is  sold ;  at  one  standard  price  to 
all,  as  per  price  list.  When  Sullivan-Westerly  Granite 
is  specified  for  your  memorial,  you  get  this  one  grade 
of  perfect  granite.  On  request,  a  Certificate  is  fur- 
nished, to  be  delivered  to  you,  guaranteeing  that  the 
granite  used  in  your  memorial  is  Sullivan-Westerly 
Granite. 


LONG  LIFE  TERRAZZO  FLOORS 


Westerly  granite  granules  are  the  best  adapted  for 
terrazzo  work  where  long  wear  and  beauty  of  color  is 
desired. 

Our  granite  has  a  crushing  strength  of  29,500 
pounds  per  square  inch.  At  the  same  time  it  ma- 
chine rubs  well  and  can  be  used  with  marble,  thus 


giving  longer  life  to  such  floors,  or  it  can  be  used  by 
itself  as  desired  by  the  architect. 

Prepared  in  sizes  1,  2  and  3  and  in  colors  from  blue 
to  pink. 

Particularly  adapted  for  floors  subject  to  trucking 
or  other  hard  wear.

LYNCHBURG,  VIRGINIA 


VIRGINIA  GREENSTONE 

A  Beautiful  Permanent  Stone — Non-Fading  for  Exterior  Uses — Non-Slip  for  Treads  and  Floors 


Description 

Virginia  Greenstone  is  a  gray- 
green  building  stone  which  be- 
longs in  the  same  general  group 
of  metamorphic  rocks  as  soap- 
stone  but,  due  to  the  high  ratio 
of  actinolite  to  the  chlorite  (often 
three  to  one),  Greenstone  is  un- 
usually tough,  resistant  to  abra- 
sion and  durable. 

In  color  the  stone  is  generally 
gray  green,  but  the  exact  shade 
and  texture  of  the  dressed  stone 
depends  upon  whether  it  is  gang- 
sawed,  sand-rubbed,  honed,  pol- 
ished, sandblasted  or  carved. 
Slabs  sawed  parallel  to  the  rift 
bring  out  the  texture  of  the  stone 
to  the  fullest  extent;  edge  grain  slabs  are  used  for  some 
purposes. 

Uses 

Virginia  Greenstone  is  suitable  for  all  common  archi- 
tectural uses,  both  exterior  and  interior.  Exterior 
adaptions  include  spandrels,  stone  veneer,  base  courses, 
store  fronts,  sills,  lintels,  coping,  flagging,  garden  furni- 
ture, roofing  tile,  memorials,  and  mausoleums.  It  is 
adaptable  also  for  interior  work,  especially  for  floor  tile, 
stair  treads  and  landings,  sanitary  partitions,  wain- 
scoting, bases,  thresholds,  plinths,  trim,  window  sills, 
aprons,  mantels  and  hearths. 

The  Allied  Arts  Building,  a  17-story  structure  at 
Lynchburg,  show^n  below,  is  supplied  with  Virginia 
Greenstone.  More  than  5,000  cubic  feet  of  dressed 
stone  was  used  in  its  construction,  both  for  exterior  and 
interior  purposes.  The  building  is  located  in  downtown 
Lynchburg,  and  the  vertical  emphasis  supplied  by  the 


Quaker  Meeting  House,  Lynchburg 
Erected  .     The  greenstone  used  is  stdl  in  good 
condition  and  retains  its  color 


greenstone  spandrels  in  combina- 
tion with  buff  brick  makes  the 
building  stand  out  prominently 
from  every  vantage  point. 

Properties 

The  strength  of  Virginia  Green- 
stone is  entirely  adequate  for  all 
ordinary  purposes.  Tests  by  the 
Department  of  Purchase,  City 
of  New  York,  on  specimens 
Ii/j^x4xl4  in.  showed  transverse 
strengths  of  two  samples  as 
  and    pounds,  respec- 
tively. The  compressive  strength 
of  14  specimens  averaged   
pounds  per  square  inch.  Tests  by 
other  laboratories  and  the  be- 
havior of  the  stone  in  load-bearing  uses  substantiate 
these  figures. 

Absorption  of  the  stone  is  low,  results  of  tests  on 
typical  samples  ranging  from  0/17  per  cent  of  moisture, 
by  weight,  after  24-hour  immersion  to  0/22  per  cent 
after  14-day  immersion.  Tests  also  show  excellent 
acid  and  alkali  resistance,  making  the  stone  exception- 
ally suitable  for  laboratory  uses. 

Users 

Virginia  Greenstone  has  been  used  in  a  wide  variety 
of  projects  and  for  many  purposes.  A  few  installa- 
tions on  Government  buildings  are  listed  below. 

Service 

The  Virginia  Greenstone  Company,  Inc.,  will  be 
pleased  to  furnish  samples  and  additional  information 
regarding  this  unusual  stone  and  will  w^elcome  an  oppor-

Facilities 

This  company  was  organized  and  opened  its  first 
quarry  in  .  Later  it  purchased  the  Genesee  Valley 
Blue  Stone  Company's  property  of  about  200  acres  and 
extensively  developed  the  quarries  which  had  been  in 
operation  since    at  what  is  now  Ambluco,  Wyom- 
ing County,  N.  Y.  Later,  "North  River*'  Blue  Stone 
quarries  were  purchased  and  also  worked  on  a  substan- 
tial basis  in  the  foothills  of  the  Catskill  mountains. 

At  both  quarries  mills  and  yards  are  equipped  with 
modern  machinery.  Large  volumes  of  business  can  be 
shipped  without  delay.  Sawed  stock  can  be  easily  fin- 
ished up  by  local  cut  stone  contractors. 

Genesee  Valley  Blue  Stone 
Color  and  Texture — A  distinctive  uniform  shade  of 
light  blue,  blending  well  with  adjacent  light  colored  sur- 
faces, or  giving  a  sharp  clean  contrast  with  dark  mate- 
rials. It  is  of  a  fine  grain  and  even  texture,  being  made 
up  mostly  of  pure  hard  quartz  as  shown  below. 

MiNERALOGICALLY  CONSIDERED 

Fine  hard  sand,  mostly  quartz  70% 

Clay,  as  binding  material  28% 

Water    2% 

In  this  blue  stone,  quartz,  the  essential  constituent, 
being  harder  than  the  accessory  minerals,  is  pre-emi- 
nent on  the  wearing  surface,  which  makes  the  stone  slip- 
proof  and  very  durable. 

Strength,  Weight  and  Fire  Resistance — Few,  if 
any,  stones  have  a  greater  crushing  and  transverse 
strength  than  this  blue  stone.  Likewise,  the  stone  has 
high  tensile  and  shearing  strengths.  The  following 
table  gives  its  crushing  strength,  as  compiled  from  tests 
made  by  the  United  States  Ordnance  Department : 

Crushing  Strength 
Rockport  granite  (Kidder's  Hand  Book)  ..  17,750  lb.  per  sq.  in. 

Vermont  marble   Average  13,500  lb.  per  sq.  in. 

Genesee  Valley  blue  stone   19,970  lb.  per  sq.  in. 

Although  of  great  density,  it  weighs  only  approxi- 
mately 150  lb.  per  cu.  ft.  when  cut  ready  to  set.  It  offers 
great  resistance  to  extreme  heat,  and  the  dieelectric 
strength  test  is  among  the  highest  of  all  natural  stones. 

Durability — Specimens  of  this  blue  stone  have  been 
critically  and  carefully  analyzed  by  eminent  mineralo- 
gists and  pronounced  one  of  the  most  durable  of  all 
stones.  In  abrasive  tests  it  excels  most  other  stones. 
Like  all  stones,  it  should  be  cut  to  set  on  its  natural  bed. 

It  is  said  by  one  who  has  been  in  the  business  all 
of  his  life  and  who  has  made  careful  study  of  the  stone 
edifices  in  Europe,  that  this  Genesee  Valley  Blue  Stone 


is  very  much  the  same  as  the  stone  in  the  famous  stair- 
way of  the  court  in  Bargello  Palace,  Florence,  Italy. 

Chemical  Analysis 

Silica    76.50% 

Alumina   14.75% 

Oxide  of  iron    6.35% 

Water    2.00% 

99.60% 

Adaptability — Genesee  Valley  Blue  Stone  is  a  liver 
rock  and  does  not  produce  natural  split  flagging  and 
curbing.  It  can  be  fabricated  and  carved  for  practi- 
cally any  architectural  work.  The  sheets  of  stone  in 
these  Ambluco  quarries,  being  of  unusually  low  levels, 
represent  early  deposits  and  are,  therefore,  much  harder 
and  more  compact  than  stone  quarried  from  higher 
levels.  Cutter  and  Sawed  Face  Ashlar 

Even  more  artistically  effective  than  seam  face  gran- 
ite, cutter  face  (vertical  seam  face)  blue  stone  ashlar 
has  been  worked  into  buildings  of  the  early  American 
farm  house  and  English  Tudor  styles.  These  cutter  faces 
are  permanently  and  beautifully  stained  many  colors 
and  soft  shades,  producing  an  old  tapestry  design  when 
laid  random.  Also  the  combination  of  sand  sawed  and 
shot  sawed  faces  furnishes  a  pleasing  relief  from  the 
smooth  planed  and  rubbed  finishes. 

"North  River"  Blue  Stone 

Color,  Texture,  Etc. — Although  nearly  uniform  in 
color,  slight  variations  in  shades  from  dark  gray  blue 
through  blue  to  purplish  dark  blue  breaks  the  monotony 
of  a  stone  of  uniform  color  and  eliminates  artificial  imi- 
tations. "North  River"  Blue  Stone  is  of  fine  grain  and 
even  texture,  containing  about  78%  silica,  making  the 
stone  non-slip  at  all  times. 

Durability — The  record  of  nearly  a  century  of  use 
of  "North  River"  Blue  Stone  speaks  for  itself.  Au- 
thentic knowledge  of  this  blue  stone  places  it  ahead  of 
all  stones  for  hardness,  enduring  and  non-slip  qualities 
for  use  as  exterior  door  sills,  steps,  platforms,  etc. 

Specification  Suggestions  for  Exterior  Use 

Genesee  Valley  or  "North  River"  Blue  Stone  should  be  speci- 
fied, and  to  guard  against  substitution  of  inferior  blue  stones, 
mention  this  company's  name  and  address  as  producers. 

Specifications  should  require  all  blue  stone  (as  well  as  most 
other  stones)  to  be  thoroughly  seasoned  and  to  be  cut  so  as  to 
set  on  its  natural  bed,  especially  when  used  for  grade  courses. 

The  practical  finishes,  in  order  of  their  costs  are :  Sand 
sawed ;  shot  sawed ;  rock  face ;  wet  sand  rubbed ;  fine  axed 
(6-cut)  ;  horizontally  (machined)  tooled;  and  vertically  (hand) 
tooled.  These  blue  stones  also  take  most  any  finish  applied  to  a 
natural  stone.  The  sand  sawed  finish,  showing  no  saw  marks, 
is  very  uniform  and  brings  out  the  character  of  the  stones.  This 
is  produced  by  a  slow  process  and  does  not  burn  and  bruise 
the  surface  of  a  stone  as  does  planing  and  axing. 

Naturcleft  Flagging 

A  natural  split  flagstone  of  definitely  known  qualities  from 
the  finest  quarries  in  New  York.  Its  many  soft  mellow  color 
tones  are  unequalled  by  any  other  similar  material.  Specify 
Naturcleft  Flagging  as  furnished  by  the  American  Blue  Stone 
Company,  New  York,  N.  Y.,  and  be  sure  to  get  the  genuine. 

Co-operative  Service 

Our  organization,  through  its  members'  lifelong  experience 
with  blue  stone,  offers  its  knowledge  in  an  impartial  manner, 
unbiased  by  thought  of  personal  profit.

COWING  PRESSURE  RELIEVING  JOINT  CO. 

  West  Superior  Street 

Delaware    CHICAGO,  ILL. 


COWING  PRESSURE  RELIEVING  JOINT 


Purpose 

This  joint  gives  positive  protection  against  cracks  and  spalls 
in  buildings  of  stone,  terra  cotta,  marble  or  granite. 

Description 

Cowing  Pressure  Relieving  Joint  is  a  corrugated  sheet  lead 
filler  enclosed  in  a  sheet  lead  envelope  the  thickness  of  the  bed 
joint,  and  used  in  the  place  of  one  mortar  joint  in  approximate 
alternate  stories.  Cowing  Joint  is  made  to  the  templet  of  the 
piers  and  is  placed  in  the  wall  some  place  within  the  window 
opening,  3  to  7  ft.  below  the  shelf 
angle.  It  carries,  at  all  times,  the  dead 
load  from  the  joint  to  the  shelf  angle 
above,  which  is  3  to  7  lbs.  to  the  sq.  in. 

Structural  Feature 

This  joint  zones  a  building  into  story 
heights  and  prevents  the  breaking  or 
si)alling  of  stone,  terra  cotta,  marble  or 
granite  facing  blocks.  It  delivers  ex- 
act and  automatic  compensation  for  all 
destructive  stresses  thrown  on  facing 
material  due  to  shortening  of  steel 
caused  by  temperature  changes,  com- 
pression of  steel  vibration,  wind  stress 
and  imposed  loads. 

It  permits  the  shelf  angles  to  func- 
tion, which  they  cannot  do  in  a  build- 
ing where  mortar  only  has  been  used. 
It  allows  the  building  to  find  its  level 
and  adjust  its  load  without  injury  to 
the  facing  material. 

Cowing  Joint  will  carry  the  normal 
load  of  the  facing  material  until  super- 
imposed pressure  accumulates.  Under 
such  pressure  the  joint  compresses  and 
relieves  the  stress  from  the  facing  ma- 
terial. The  load  imposed  by  such  stress 
is  kept  on  the  steel  as  intended  and  the 
facing  material  and  mortar  are  pre- 
served. 

Permanency 

Once   installed   in   a   building,  the 
Cowing  Joint  remains  permanent.     It  will  not  squeeze  out. 
Being  lead,  time  and  weather  have  no  effect  on  it.    It  preserves 
the  mortar  joints  and  practically  eliminates  future  tuck  pointing. 

Causes  of  Cracks  and  Breaks 

In  tall  structures,  regardless  of  the  rigidity  of  the  structural 
steel  or  reinforced  concrete  frame,  there  are  movements  which 
occur  that  will  create  an  over-stressing  of  the  facing  material 
at  various  points.  These  movements  may  be  caused  by  com- 
pression of  the  steel,  wind  action  or  unequalized  expansion  or 
contraction  between  the  frame  and  the  facing  material  due  to 
temperature  changes. 

Where  these  movements  occur — if  there  is  not  some  elasticity 
in  the  face  of  the  building— there  is  sure  to  be  some  cracking 
due  to  overstress. 

The  facing  under  such  conditions  is  obviously  called  upon  to 
support  not  only  a  large  measure  of  its  own  weight  for  the  total 
height  of  the  building,  but  loads  of  backing  masonry,  and  also 
some  weight  of  the  structure  itself,  that  are  transmitted  to  it 
by  any  shortening  of  the  columns  or  other  destructive  stresses. 

While  it  is  true  there  is  a  compensating  factor  in  the  fact 
that  extremes  of  temperature  must  strike  and  act  upon  the 
facing  material  first,  and  must  naturally  be  more  intense  in  the 
facing  material  than  in  the  column  section  protected  by  its 
envelope  of  masonry,  it  is  nevertheless  a  fact  that  the  difference 


in  the  co-efficient  of  expansion  of  steel  and  stone  is  such  that 
ill  a  building  260  ft.  high  a  change  of  60°  temperature  in  the 
exterior  walls  would  cause  the  columns  to  shorten  about  M>  in. 
more  than  the  face  of  the  building. 

The  action  described,  which  in  a  structure  has  the  effect  of  a 
vise,  is  the  only  logical  way  of  accounting  for  the  cracking  of 
perfectly  sound  facing  blocks.  Tests  of  facing  blocks,  after 
they  had  been  so  cracked,  have  been  found  to  have  a  crushing 
strength  equal  to  the  average  product  of  their  particular  grade, 
which  is  always  many  times  more  than  sufficient  to  carry  any 
possil)le  load  that  could  come  upon  them  from  the  evident 
manner  in  which  they  were  designed 
to  be  used.  It  is  clear,  therefore,  that 
the  cracking  is  not  due  to  defective 
material,  but  to  an  overstrain  or  stress 
it  was  not  intended  to  bear.

Specifications 

Buildings  Faced  with  Stone, 
Terra  Cotta,  Marble  or  Granite — 

In  all  steel  skeleton  buildings  entirely 
faced  with  the  aforementioned  ma- 
terials, use  one  course  of  'Cowing  Joint  to  each  story 
height.  Install  the  joint  across  the  columns  and  weight- 
carrying  mullions  to  the  full  depth  of  the  regular  facing 
block  at  the  sill  course  level  or  at  some  point  within  the  window 
opening. 

Buildings  with  Ashlar  on  Lower  Floors  Only— On  tall 
buildings  with  2,  3  or  4  stories  of  stone,  terra  cotta,  marble  or 
granite,  use  Cowing  Joints  the  full  depth  of  the  regular  facing 
block  across  the  column  and  weight-carrying  mullions  at  the 
sill  course  or  some  point  within  the  window  opening  at  the 
second  and  at  the  top  floor  of  the  ashlar. 

For  Solid  Masonry  Walls— Install  one  course  of  Cowing 
Joint  4  in.  deep  placed  on  bed,  at  intervals  of  12  or  15  ft.  in 
height,  to  provide  for  surface  expansion.  Explanatory  chart 
sent  on  request. 

Strike  Joints  as  Set— All  joints  may  be  struck  as  set, 
eliminating  the  initial  tuck  pointing.  Where  the  Cowing  Joint 
is  installed,  bed  mortar  joints  will  also  be  protected  against 
the  destructive  stresses  and  their  life  increased,  resulting  in  a 
saving  of  future  tuck  pointing. 

If  it  is  desirable  to  blend  this  Joint  with  the  exact  color  of 
the  mortar,  it  may  be  recessed  approximately  i/4  in.  and  pointed 
with  a  non-staining  mastic  compound  in  color  and  texture  to 
match  the  surrounding  masonry. 

Specify— Cowing  Joint,  226  West  Superior  Street,  Chicago.

CONTINENTAL  GL 

Sizes  and  Colors 

Continental  Glazed  ]>rick  and  Tile  are  manu- 
factured in  both  standard  size  glazed  brick  and  5x8-in. 
or  two-brick  size  glazed  tile.  They  are  made  in  all 
colors  and  finishes  which  can  be  produced  in  high  fired 
ceramic  tile  of  this  type. 

Quality 

The  same  high  grade  plastic  fire  clay  is  used  in  the 
manufacture  of  the  body  of  Continental  Glazed 
Brick  and  Tile  as  we  have  used  in  our  regular  buff 
and  gray  face  brick  for  many  years.  Our  method  of 
manufacture  insures  perfect  bond  between  the  body  of 
our  tile  and  the  glaze.  Because  we  manufacture  by 
the  one-burn  process,  both  the  body  of  the  ware  and 


:ED  BRICK  AND  TILE 

the  glaze  are  subject  to  a  very  high  temperature  in  the 
burning.  Both  the  body  and  the  glaze  will  withstand 
oils  and  acids  and  are  not  affected  by  the  methylene 
blue  or  liquid  ink  test. 

Quantity 

We  have  furnished  glazed  brick  and  tile  for  many 
outstanding  buildings  in  different  parts  of  the  country. 
Our  plant  is  always  in  operation. 

Shapes 

We  are  equipped  to  manufacture  all  standard  fittings 
and  shapes  and  can  also  make  on  order  any  specials 
that  may  be  required.  Write  for  details  of  shapes  or 
any  other  information  desired. 


McNEES-KITTANNING  BUFF  AND  GRAY  FACE  BRICK 


Quality 

McNees-Kittanning  Buff  and  Gray  Face  Brick 
have  been  the  standard  of  quality  for  thirty  years.  They 
are  made  from  the  highest  grade  plastic  fire  clay.  We 
have  a  large  acreage  of  this  clay  which  has  a  very 
uniform  quality — there  has  not  been  any  noticeable 
variation  during  our  thirty  years  of  manufacturing 
experience.  This  assures  uniform  size  and  color  and 
enables  us  to  duplicate  at  any  time  any  shade  of  brick 
we  have  ever  made. 

We  have  supplied  brick  for  outstanding  buildings  all 
over  the  country.  We  believe  we  enjoy  a  wider  ship- 
ping range  than  the  manufacturers  of  any  other  brick, 
as  this  particular  type  of  light  brick  is  manufactured 
only  at  Kittanning. 


Permanent  Colors 

McNees-Kittanning  Buff  and  Gray  Face  Brick 
are  burned  at  high  temperature  entirely  by  natural  gas 
to  the  lightest  clear  shades  of  buff  and  gray.  This 
makes  their  color  permanent  and  accounts  for  their  not 
soiling  after  being  in  the  walls  and  exposed  to  the 
weather  for  many  years. 

Near  White  Gray — We  believe  our  gray  brick  are 
the  lightest  in  color,  or  nearest  white  of  any  brick 
manufactured. 

Buff — Our  buff  brick  are  made  in  several  different 
tones  of  light  clear  buff  and  graded  to  uniform  shades. 
This  enables  us  to  supply  large  orders  of  an  absolutely 
uniform  shade  or,  if  a  mingle  is  desired,  we  can  mix 
the  diflPerent  shades,  the  color  tones  blending  perfectly. 


UNGLAZED  BUFF  AND  GRAY  FACING  TILE 


These  are  made  in  uniform  shades  of  light  buff  and 
gray  in  the  same  sized  units  as  our  glazed  tile  and  re- 
quire the  same  line  of  shapes  or  fittings.  They  are 
load-bearing  and  can  be  used  as  part  of  the  wall  instead 
of  just  a  lining.  As  they  can  be  laid  more  quickly  per 
square  foot  and  are  lighter  in  weight,  the  cost  in  the 


wall  is  considerably  less  than  for  standard  size  brick. 

The  type  of  coring  used  in  both  our  glazed  and  un- 
glazed tile  enables  the  mason  to  make  cuts  on  the  job 
more  readily  than  with  other  tile.  This  eliminates  the 
shipping  of  different  sized  pieces  and  the  trouble  of 
keeping  them  separate  on  the  job.

Company  and  Service 

The  Hydraulic-Press  Brick  Company 
has  been  specializing  in  the  manufacture  of 
Face  Brick  for  over  a  half  century.  The 
especially  high  quality  of  its  products  and 
the  fairness  of  its  sales  policy  have  won 
for  the  Company  a  wide  public  confidence. 

With  modern  plants,  situated  in  the  best 
clay  and  shale  fields  of  the  country,  and 
in  close  proximity  to  the  principal  markets, 
its  facilities  are  adequate  to  handle  opera- 
tions of  any  kind. 

Process 

In  the  production  of  Hy-tex  Brick,  both 
the  "Dry-Press"  and  "Stiff-Mud"  processes 
of  manufacture  are  used. 

Hy-tex  Dry-Pressed  are  made  under  a 
forty-ton  hydraulic  pressure  on  machines 
of  the  Company's  own  invention,  and,  after 
firing,  have  an  absorption  low  enough  to 
prevent  penetration,  yet  sufficient  to  guar- 
antee a  perfect  bond  between  brick  and

Face  Brick  to  Blend  with  Limestone 

The  Hanley  Company  specializes  in  shades  of  grey 
brick  to  blend  with  various  types  of  stone  and  granite  for 
small  as  well  as  monumental  buildings.  The  new  Shade 
119  illustrated  below  is  the  result  of  years  of  effort  to 
bring  out  at  a  reasonable  price  what  is  believed  to  be  the 
finest  "stone  shade"  of  face  brick  ever  made.  When  used 
with  Indiana  Stone  it  should  be  laid  with  54"  joints  and 
a  grey  mortar  to  carry  out  the  color  effect  of  the  wall. 


With  this  unprecedented  color  of  brick  available,  un- 
usual structural  combinations  of  stone  and  brick  design 
become  possible  due  to  the  fact  that  "layer  effects"  caused 
by  sharp  color  lines  between  brick  and  stone  are  avoided. 

The  Limestone  Shade  No.  119  is  made  in  three  sizes 
commonly  known  as  face  brick  size  (8  x  2^4  x  3j4), 
double  brick  size  (8  x  4%  x  3^)  and  triple  size  (12  x 
4}i  X  3%).  Working  with  these  larger  units  in  the  grey 
color  give  to  the  designer  the  possibility  of  a  low  cost

GLAZED  BRICK: 


Planley  Glazed  Brick  are  made  in  single  size  (8  x  2>4 
X  3%)  and  double  size  (8  x  4%  x  3%)  in  a  satin  and 
lustrous  finish.  Standard  colors  are  white,  cream,  white 
with  black  specks,  grey,  tan,  dark  blue,  light  blue,  dark 
green,  light  green,  black  and  mottled  finishes. 

In  order  to  insure  the  highest  quality  weather  proof 
glazes  we  recommend  the  insertion  of  the  Glazed  Brick 
&  Tile  Institute  test  in  all  si>ecifications  as  fohows : 
Crazing :  A  definitely  controlled  and  recorded  steam  auto- 
clave test  shall  be  made  as  follows:  Three  units  care- 
fully marked  for  identification  shall  be  tested.  They  shall 
be  thoroughly  dry  and  then  placed  in  an  autoclave  and 
the  steam  pressure  started  and  slowly  brought  up  to 
between  25  and  30  pounds  pressure  in  thirty  minutes,  the 
pressure  then  increased  gradually  to  between  65  and  75 
pounds  in  the  next  fifteen  minutes.  Then  increased  grad- 
ually to  150  pounds  in  not  less  than  15  minutes.  The 
pressure  shall  then  be  held  at  150  ix)unds,  plus  or  minus 
5  pounds,  for  a  period  of  one  hour.  The  pressure  shall 
then  be  released  by  a  gradual  opening  of  the  autoclave 
to  allow  a  gradual  cooling  over  a  i)eriod  of  not  less  than 
one  hour,  to  room  or  hand-handling  temi)erature.  The 
l)rick  shall  then  be  removed  and  examined.  Development 
of  crazing,  spalling,  i^eeling  or  cracking  shall  be  cause 
for  rejection. 

Shapes  Now  Standardized 

The  use  of  glazed  brick  has  been  greatly  simplified 
and  cheapened  l)y  the  issuance  by  the  Glazed  Brick  (S: 
Tile  Institute  of  standardized  shapes  which  the  Hanley 
Company  uses.  All  radii,  lengths,  heights,  and  nomencla- 
ture are  uniform  in  the  industry  and  shai>es  specified  can 
l)e  ol)tained  from  any  manufacturers.  Hanley  Glazed 
Brick  Shai)e  catalogue  will  be  sent  upon  request. 

Detailing 

All  interior  glazed  l)rick  installations  should  l)e  de- 
tailed l)y  the  architect  in  accordance  with  standard  l)rick 
and  doul)le  l)rick  sizes  to  obtain  the  most  attractive  wall 
at  lowest  cost,  and  to  avoid  confusion  at  the  job. 


Advantages  of  Glazed  Double  Brick  Interior 

These  units  are  merely  twice  as  high  plus  a  joint  as  a 
standard  lirick  (8  x  4%  x  3%),  weigh  under  9  ix)unds 
and  can  be  laid  hy  the  bricklayer  with  one  hand.  Sizes 
vary  much  less  than  on  larger  units ;  warpage  is  far  less 
than  with  larger  units ;  closures  and  trim  shapes  are 
simple  to  install  and  are  made  absolutely  true. 

The  cost  of  laying  double  brick  units  is  30%  less  per 
square  foot  than  single  brick  units. 

Glazed  Double  Brick  have  a  vitreous  surface,  resist 
l)encil  marks,  ink,  grease  and  other  dirt  accumulations. 

Shipping  and  Manufacturing  Facilities 

The  Hanley  Company  is  the  largest  manufacturer  of 
fine  ceramic  products  in  the  country.  The  two  plants  are 
located  to  give  rapid  service  to  the  h^astern  markets  and 
have  good  rail  connections  for  the  Western  markets. 

The  quality  of  such  Hanley  products  as  Floor  and 
Wall  Tile,  Quarry  Tile,  Flame-Tinted  Tile,  Floor  Brick, 
Acid  Brick,  Roofing  Tile,  Bradford  Red  Face  Brick, 
Limestone  Color  Face  Brick  and  Glazed  l)rick,  is  ob- 
tained by  virtue  of  the  exact  control  of  heat  and  ma- 
chinery which  these  two  plants  are  famous  for.  The  fact 
that  the  Hanley  Co.  is  believed  to  l)e  the  largest  manu- 
facturer of  face  and  glazed  brick  is  the  result  of  the  fine 
ware  produced  in  these  plants. 

Cost  Estimates 

Comparative  wall  costs,  for  both  interior  and  exterior 
work,  of  the  many  new  types  of  material  will  be  sent 
upon  request.  Generally  speaking  the  double  brick  units 
give  low  wall  costs  if  used  in  straight  large  unbroken 
surfaces  where  a  minimum  of  shapes  are  recjuired.  Glazed 
and  unglazed  units  are  made  in  thicknesses  of  2",  3",  4", 
6",  and  8"  in  various  colors. 

With  large  sizes  now  available  in  unglazed  finishes  a 
very  reasonable  wall  construction  may  be  obtained  by 
using  glazed  material  for  the  lower  half  of  the  wall 
surface  and  an  unglazed  unit  of  the  same  size  and  a 
blending  color  for  the  top  half  of  the  wall. 

In  general  this  type  of  construction  is  only  slightly 
higher  in  cost  than  using  plaster  for  the  upper  part  of  the 
wall  and  is  load  bearing,  sanitary,  durable,  construction.

COLONIAL 

Sand  finished  red  clay  building  brick  are  produced 
in  four  distinctive  types  and  each  is  selected  into  four 
distinctive  grades.  Variations,  combinations  and  blends 
make  the  company's  products  adaptable  to  the  taste  of 
the  most  fastidious  architect  or  owner. 

Selection — Large  capacity  and  advantageous  burning 
conditions  make  possible  the  selection  of  brick  ranges 
to  suit  the  architectural  treatment  of  individual  jobs. 
No  matter  how  difficult  the  selection  required,  the  cost 
of  all  brick  is  strongly  influenced  by  the  economies 
inherent  to  large  production. 

Sizes — The  attention  of  architects  is  called  to  the 
various  sizes  of  the  products  offered.  Bond,  course 
height,  and  wall  thickness,  will  naturally  affect  the 
choice  of  a  practical  unit.  Ranges  in  heights  from  2i/s 
to  2%  in.,  in  width  from  3%  to  33^  in.,  in  length 
to  814  in.,  give  a  choice  adaptable  to  most  requirements. 


RED  BRICK 

Up  Draft— IManufactured  side  cut  or  repressed  end 
cut.  These  brick  show  characteristic  dark  kiln  marks, 
varicolored  water  marks,  occasional  natural  iron  spots 
on  a  background  color  varying  from  purple  red  to  light 
brownish  red.  All  selections  from  close  to  wide  ranges 
including  clinkers. 

Down  Draft— Manufactured  side  cut  or  repressed 
end  cut.  These  brick  in  a  range  of  colors  from  deep 
purple-red  to  light  "terra-cotta"  brownish  red,  have 
clear  faces  without  kiln  markings  or  developed  iron. 
Headers  in  most  ranges  are  adaptable  to  pattern  work 
due  to  a  slightly  darker  color  than  the  face. 

Special  Shapes — Several  stock  designs  for  water 
tables,  band  courses,  jambs,  etc.,  also  special  brick 
moulded  or  ground  to  the  architects'  specifications  and 
drawings.  Specialists  of  long  experience  will  assist 
the  architect  and  builder  in  matters  of  detail. 


BUILDING  BLOCK 


Hard  burned  building  block  with  amazing  load  car- 
rying capacity  are  being  recognized  for  their  utility  and 
economy.  They  are  cored  vertically  and  are  classified 
as  a  soHd  masonry  unit  (25%  void  or  less).  They  are 
designed  for  use  independently  or  in  conjunction  with 
brick  (51/2  in.  course  height  =  2  courses  of  brickwork  @ 
2%  in.)  in  walls,  piers,  etc.  As  a  mass  masonry  unit 
they  are  unexcelled  due  to  rapid  erection  and  high 
strength.  They  are  hard  burned  for  use  exposed  to 
weather  or  sub-soil  conditions  and  at  the  same  time  are 
suitable  for  plastering  without  furring.  On  many 
buildings  an  extremely  low  cost  interior  has  been  se- 

Moulded  Red  Brick— Front  Briek— Enameled  Brick-

with  one  hand.

The  Stark  Brick  Company  is  one  of  the  pioneers 
in  Glazed  Products  in  this  country. 

With  a  personnel  having  experience  since  ,  they 
are  today  the  largest  producers  in  the  glazed  field. 

The  first  of  the  revolutionary  de-airing  machines  was 
installed  in  a  Stark  plant,  which  today  has  four  com- 
plete de-airing  production  units. 

All  Stark  products  except  Harvard  Brick  are  now 
produced  by  the  de-airing  process,  which  removes  the 
air  from  the  clay  during  the  forming  process,  resulting 
in  greater  strength,  freedom  from  blisters,  and  other 
like  defects. 


With  three  large  plants  embodying  the  latest  equip-

For  over  a  score  of  years,  Stark  has  been  an  un- 
questioned leader  among  fine  brick.  Some  of  the 
major  reasons  why  they  have  gained  such  wide 
popularity  are  the  lasting  beauty,  sanitation  and  re- 
sistance of  the  hard  glazed  surface  to  acid,  grease, 
and  moisture.  The  only  attention  necessary  is  an 
occasional  washing.

which  will  be  permanent  and  not  crack,  chip  or  loosen. 

The  size  of  "Artile"  is  3%x3%x8  in.,  the  face  of  which 
is  divided  into  two  equal  sections  by  a  in.  vertical  dove- 
tail false  mortar  joint. 

As  the  wall  is  laid,  these  false  joints  are  "pointed  up," 
producing  square  wall  tile.  This  construction  cannot  be 
distinguished  from  expensive,  flat  wall  tile  veneered  upon 
a  load  bearing  wall.

THE  STARK  BRICK  COMPANY 
GENERAL  USES  AND  ADVANTAGES 


All  Stark  glazes  and  products  present  the  same  general 
advantages.  A  choice  depends  upon  varying  possibilities  in 
surface  treatments.  Among  the  major  advantages  of  Stark 
products  are  the  following: 

(1)  High  degree  of  sanitation. 

(2)  Walls  impervious  to  moisture. 

(3)  The  surfaces  naturally  resist  fire  and  acid  and  are  easily 
cleaned  when  desired. 

(4)  Great  facility  in  architectural  designs,  with  wide  selec- 
tion of  colors  and  sizes. 

(5)  High  in  light  reflecting  or  diffusing  qualities. 

(6)  Permanent  beauty  and  color. 

Where  Used — Interiors — Depending  on  the  specific  require- 
ments of  the  project,  any  Stark  product  can  and  may  be  speci- 
fied in  all  buildings  where  a  loadbearing  or  veneering  unit  with 
a  sanitary,  permanent,  facing  is  desired.  Stark  Glazed  products 
are  particularly  desirable  for  interior  walls  where  light  reflec- 
tion or  diffusion  are  vitally  important,  together  with  sanitation, 
permanency,  and  low  eventual  cost  of  upkeep. 

Exteriors — Stark  Ceramic  Colorglaze  materials  are  used  for 
monumental  type  buildings,  store  fronts,  garages,  and  service 
stations.  The  Unglazed  unit  is  a  perfect  material  for  lower 
cost  usages  where  superior  mechanical  character  is  desired, 
together  with  enduring  life  and  appearance. 

Uses — For  original  construction  and  modernization  or  re- 
habilitation of  existing  structures,  both  for  interior  and  ex- 
terior. Stark  products  are  currently  being  used  in  the  following

CONSTRUCTIONAL  DETAILS 


The  most  important  factor  in  laying  a  floor  with  our  Sanitary 
Floor  Brick  is  to  tamp  the  brick  well  and  to  continue  the  work 
and  finish  the  grouting  before  leaving  the  job  to  set.  If  the 
brick  are  tamped  down  for  a  certain  area,  they  should  not  be 
allowed  to  stand  overnight,  but  filled  in  with  grouting  before 
leaving  the  work. 

The  bed  of  concrete  varies  from  1  in.  to  3  in.,  depending  on 
the  pitch  required.  For  a  bed  1  in.  thick,  use  one  part  of 
cement  to  two  parts  of  torpedo  sand.  For  a  bed  2  in.  thick, 
use  one  part  of  cement  to  two  and  one-half  parts  sand.  For  a 
3  in.  bed,  one  part  of  cement  to  three  parts  sand. 

This  mixture  should  be  quite  dry  and  have  just  enough  water 
to  make  it  workable.  As  the  brick  are  tamped  down,  the  water 
will  come  to  the  surface  and  help  to  cement  the  brick  firmly  to 
the  bed.    No  part  of  this  cement  is  allowed  to  form  any

part  of  the  joints  and  brick  are  laid  as  closely  as  possible. 

The  grouting  is  then  applied,  which  is  composed  of  very 
fine,  or  reground  Portland  Cement  and  water.  The  joints  are 
filled  thoroughly  before  the  job  is  allowed  to  stand  and  usually 
the  surface  must  be  worked  over  several  times  with  a  squeegee 
before  the  joints  are  filled.  Additional  water  may  be  added 
to  the  grouting  as  required. 

SHAPES 

Any  "Brictile"  Shape  will  be  furnished  burned  to  match 
floor  brick. 

BONDING  STRENGTH  OF  STARK  PRODUCTS 

The  illustration 
shows  a  section  of 
a  Stark  "Brictile" 
wall  cut  back  to  the 
first  row  of  holes. 
The  bonding 
strength  of  the 
wall  is  reinforced 
by  a  second  row 
of  vertical  holes 
behind  these. 

When  the  mortar 
is  spread,  a  por- 
tion of  it  first 
works  downward 
into  the  holes  be- 
low, the  extent  of 
which  is  seen  in 
this  illustration.  As 
the  next  row  of 
"Brictile"  is  placed,  a  portion  of  the  mortar  is  forced  upward 
into  the  holes  above.  The  location  of  the  holes  permits  the 
use  of  reinforcing  rods,  if  desired,  for  free  standing  walls. 
After  mortar  sets,  this  wall  is  one  solid  unit.  (Brick,  "Brictile," 
and  "Artile"  have  the  same  bonding  advantages.)

NOTE 

The  photographic  panel  re- 
produced at  the  left  shows  an 
**Artile"  panel.  Figures  1,  2  and 
3  are  half  "Artile"  with  a  hed 
and  cross  joint.  This  panel  has 
been  subjected  to  very  rigid 
tests  to  determine  the  strength 
of  the  mortar  in  the  dovetailed 
joint.  After  the  tests  were 
completed  the  mortar  in  the 
dovetail  joints  of  three  whole 
"Artile"  remained  intact,  while 
all  other  joints  were  broken.

Composition  and  Manufacture  of  Wyandot  Brick 

An  all-clay,  genuinely  sand  molded  brick,  made  from  yellow 
clay  which  bums  red.  Variety  and  color  flashing  obtained  by 
the  location  of  brick  in  the  kilns.  Brick  is  burned  to  the  fusion 
point  of  the  clay.  Made  by  the  same  process  as  the  handmade 
brick  of  years  ago,  but  by  machinery.  Old-fashioned  box  molds 
lined  with  sand  are  used.  This  sand  is  part  of  the  surface  of 
brick,  burned  in  and  cannot  rub  off.

above  colors. 

Commons— Hard  Lmr— Not  selected  for  color— vitrified— 
suitable  for  all  outside  purposes. 

Backups — suitable  for  inside  work  only. 

Contour  and  Texture— A  slight  irregularity  of  contour  re- 
lieves it  of  any  mechanical  exactness.  It  has  a  soft,  velvety 
exterior  over  a  flinty  interior — mortar  adheres  readily  to  surface. 

Moisture  Absorption — Tests  from  1%  to  8%.

The  Corning  Glass  Works, 
recognizing  the  demand  by 
architects  and  designers  for 
translucent  walls,  introduces  a 
new  glass  construction  unit  to 
tlie  building  field. 

I  '  Size 

Kv  t^^^^        The   size,    ll%xll%x4  in.,

plus  a  M:  in.  mortar  joint,  re- 
sults in  a  unit  construction  which  is  readily  adapted  to  the 
sizes  of  most  building  materials. 


'PYREX"  GLASS  CONSTRUCTION  UNIT 


**Pyrex"  Glass  Construction  Unit 

ll%xll%x4  in.  Weight:  13  lbs. 


Glass 

These  units  are  made  from  one  of  the  "Pyrex"  Brand  Heat 
Resistant  Glasses,  which  has  a  coefficient  of  expansion  under 
.  for  each  degree  of  temperature  change  between  19° 
and  350°  C.  This  quality  makes  them  ideal  for  use  on  the 
exterior  of  buildings  where  they  will  be  subjected  to  severe 
and  sudden  temperature  changes.  This  characteristic  also 
adapts  them  for  illuminating  purposes  where  intense  heat  and 
cold  may  exist  on  opposite  sides  of  the  glass. 

Strength 

Each  unit  is  capable  of  withstanding  a  direct  load  equivalent 
to  the  weight  of  a  wall  of  these  units,  including  mortar,  seven 
hundred  feet  high.  Even  though  building  codes,  at  present, 
consider  glass  units  as  curtain  wall  material  only  and  do  not 
permit  their  use  as  bearing  walls,  the  strength  of  this  unit  is 
more  than  sufficient  for  any  conceivable  installation. 

Seal  and  Dead  Air  Space 

The  seal  obtained  by  the  adhesion  of  hot  glass  insures  a 
hermetically  sealed  block,  which  prevents  air  from  entering 
the  block.  This  feature  eliminates  the  possibility  of  non- 
dehydrated  air  entering  the  block  and  the  formation  of  con- 
densation on  the  inside  of  the  unit  during  cold  weather. 

This  glass-sealed  dehydrated  air  chamber  creates  a  unit  with 
an  exceptionally  high  insulating  value.    Of  course  there  will 


be  no  infiltration  loss  of  heat 
through  a  wall  of  these  units. 

Fluting 

Scientifically  designed  fluting 
on  the  interior  faces  of  the 
unit  produces  a  high  diffusion 
of  light,  obscures  images,  cre- 
ates an  ever-changing  decora- 
tive pattern  and  eliminates  the 
possibility  of  undesirable  lens 
effect.  The  smooth  outside  sur- 
faces reduce  the  cleaning  prob- 
lem to  a  minimum. 

Cementing  Material 

These  units  are  set  up  with 
a  lime  Portland  Cement  mor- 
tar. A  mix  of  one  part  lime, 
one  part  cement  and  six  parts 
sand  is  recommended.  When 
the  unit  is  used  in  exterior 
walls,  this  mixture  should  be 
waterproofed  by  the  addition 
of  ammonium  or  calcium  stear- 
ates,  or  some  other  recognized 
waterproofing  compound.  The 
mortar  should  be  mixed  as  dry 
as  possible  for  good  workabil- 
ity, since  glass  is  impervious  to 

moisture  as  contrasted  with  ordinary  masonry.  The  joint  sur- 
faces of  the  unit  are  corrugated  to  insure  a  perfect  bond  be- 
tween the  glass  and  the  mortar. 

Re-enforcing 

For  large  areas  of  glass  construction  units,  we  recommend 
the  use  of  steel  re-enforcing,  either  Vs  in.  pencil  rods,  in. 
round  rods,  of  ^xIMj  in.  flat  bars.  These  may  be  located  every 
course,  every  other  course,  or  even  farther  apart,  depending  on 
the  size  of  the  panel.  It  is  suggested  that  the  architect  or  builder 
consult  a  representative  of  the  Corning  Glass  Works  for 
details  on  this  point. 

Replacement 

Should  one  of  these  units  break,  it  is  as  easily  replaced 
as  a  ceramic  or  masonry  block.

Uses 

The  uses  for  the  "Pyrex" 
Glass  construction  unit  are  un- 
limited depending  upon  the 
imagination  of  the  designer. 
In  the  short  time  that  this  unit 
has  been  on  the  market,  in- 
stallations have  been  made  in 
private  residences,  in  conjunc- 
tion with  air  conditioning,  as 
interior  and  exterior  walls  for 
offices,  decorative  wall  treat- 
ment, bars,  and  shop  fronts. 
It  is  recommended  for  use  as 
exterior  walls  in  dark  courts, 
hospital  partitions,  in  bath- 
rooms and  kitchens  as  skylight 
units,  and  for  installation  in 
locations  where  light  but  not 
visibility  is  desired.

GENERAL  DESCRIPTION  OF  INSULUX  GLASS  MASONRY 


Insulux  Glass  Blocks  are  light  in  weight  and 
ore  of  a  size  that  is  convenient  for  the  mason 
to  handle.  They  lay  up  quickly  in  the  same 
manner  as  other  masonry  units. 


Owens-Illinois  Glass  Blocks  are  hollow,  partially 
evacuated,  translucent  units  of  water-clear  glass. 
They  are  laid  up  by  masons  using  ordinary  mortar 
joints.  They  are  suitable  for  functional  uses  as  light- 
transmitting  walls  of  high  thermal  resistance;  they  of- 
fer a  wide  range  of  decorative  possibilities.  Insulux 
Glass  Blocks  possess  properties  and  advantages 
unique  in  the  field  of  building  materials. 

ECONOMY — Exclusive  manufacturing  developments 
make  Insulux  Translucent  Masonry  lower  in  cost  than 
other  glass  masonry  construction,  and  compare  with 
the  cost  of  walls  and  average  quality  glazed  steel 
sash. 

LIGHT  TRANSMISSION— Variations  in  the  prismatic 
patterns  impressed  upon  the  faces  of  the  blocks  result 
in  light-transmitting  values  and  diffusing  properties 
over  a  wide  range,  with  an  absence  of  glare,  afford- 
ing light  comparable  to  that  from  northerly  exposed 
windows  or  skylights. 

UNIFORMITY— Rigid  inspection 
and  the  Owens-Illinois  manufac- 
turing process  produce  a  block 
of  unvarying  characteristics. 

STRENGTH— Insulux  Glass 
Blocks  have  high  compressive, 
lateral,  impact  and  bond  strength. 

THERMAL  RESISTANCE— Insu 
lux  Glass  Blocks  prevent  infiltra- 
tion losses,  their  heat  conductiv- 
ity is  low,  they  reduce  the  effect 
of  solar  radiation. 


SOUND  TRANSMISSION— Glass  Block  walls  possess 
a  well-defined  deadening  effect  against  the  trans- 
mission of  sound. 

FIRE  RESISTANCE — ^Insulux  Glass  Masonry  walls, 
due  to  their  double  faced  construction  and  thickness, 
provide  remarkable  resistance  to  fire  attack. 

MOISTURE — The  partial  vacuum  of  dry  rarefied  air 
prevents  condensation  inside  the  blocks.  In  still  air 
the  outdoor  temperature  necessary  to  produce  surface 
condensation  on  the  inside  of  an  Insulux  Glass  Ma- 
sonry wall  is  minus  16.4°F.  with  an  inside  tempera- 
ture of  70  °F.  and  a  relative  humidity  of  40%.  (Purdue 
University  test.) 

CLEANLINESS — Insulux  Glass  Masonry  walls  are 
easy  to  clean  and  maintain.  They  are  non-absorbent 
to  liquids  or  odors.

PRACTICALITY  —  Experience 
with  glass  blocks  has  estab- 
lished their  practical  value  over 
a  period  of  years. 

REPLACEMENT— The  simplicity 
of  the  mortar  joint  makes  re- 
moval and  replacement  easy. 
From  these  features  and  advan- 
tages, it  can  be  easily  seen  that 
Insulux  Glass  Blocks  possess 
characteristics  not  found  in  other 
types  of  masonry  or  in  other 
glass  building  units.

LIGHT   TRANSMISSION   AND  DIFFUSION 

All  standard  sizes  of  Insulux  Glass  Blocks  are  available  in  the  4  standard  cuttings 
shown.  The  various  face  cuttings  have  been  arrived  at  through  extensive  research  to 
obtain  an  interesting  decorative  quality,  combined  with  a  variation  in  the  light  trans- 
mission coefficients.  The  design  of  the  cuttings  does  not  permit  a  lens  effect,  thus 
avoiding  glare  or  a  spotty  concentration  of  light. 

Owens-Illinois  Insulux  Glass  Blocks  are  translucent — permitting  the  transmission  of 
light  while  effectively  obscuring  images.  The  prismatic  cuttings  create  a  pattern  which 
serves  as  a  screen,  improves  the  quality  of  the  light  transmitted,  eliminates  the  glare

STANDARD  CUTTINGS 


and  increases  the  decorative  appeal  of  the  product  by  giving  it  a  definite  texture  when 
laid  up  to  form  a  glass  masonry  wall. 

Each  face  cutting  is  designated  by  number.  This  number,  when  added  to  the  series 
number,  identifies  the  block  both  for  size  and  cutting  design.  For  instance,  the  4%  x  8 
in.  block  (series  No.  1)  with  the  face  cutting  pattern  No.  11,  would  be  identified  as 
block  No.  1-11.  The  53/4x53/4  in.  block  (series  No.  200)  with  face  cutting  pattern  No. 
11,  would  be  identified  as  block  No.  200-11. 

LIGHT  TRANSMISSION— Where  the  intensity  of  light  to  be  admitted  is  the  factor  to 
be  considered  in  the  selection  of  glass  blocks,  a  variety  of  face  cuttings  is  offered.  A 
choice  can  be  made  according  to  the  light  transmission  percentages — making  interior 
lighting  controllable.  The  various  face  cuttings  offer  a  wide  range  of  transmission 
coefficients.  Thus,  too  brilliant  light  can  be  controlled  by  the  choice  of  a  block  having 
a  suitably  low  transmission  factor.  Where  all  the  light  possible  is  required  for  interior 
vision,  a  wall  built  of  blocks  with  Cutting  No.  11  transmits  86.5%  of  the  incident  light. 
This  value  is  comparable  to  the  transmission  value  of  ordinary  windows  which  have 
an  average  coefficient  of  from  85%  to  95%.  The  exterior  faces  of  the  blocks  are  either 
smooth  or  have  simple  ribs — to  minimize  the  accumulation  of  surface  dirt  and  to  make 
its  removal  easy.  This  is  important  since  the  efficiency  of  any  glass  as  a  light-trans- 
mitting medium  is  seriously  impaired  by  surface  dirt. 

LIGHT  DIFFUSION — The  light  transmitted  by  Insulux  Masonry  is  diffused  perfectly. 
It  is  glareless  and  is  comparable  to  the  light  from  a  northerly  exposed  window  or 
skylight.  The  elimination  of  glare  and  shadows  promotes  efficiency,  comfort  and 
quality  of  workmanship.  This  light  is  particularly  desirable  for  close  work.  Professor 
George  Sherman  of  the  Physics  Department  of  Purdue  University  says,  as  a  result  of 
his  tests,  "When  any  of  the  cross-rib  or  pyramid-face  blocks  are  held  six  inches  from 
an  intense  light  such  as  a  high-power  concentrated-filament  lamp,  no  glare  is  observed 
when  the  block  is  viewed  at  any  angle.  In  the  single-rib  blocks  (No.  11  Cutting)  only 
a  very  small  glare  is  found  under  this  very  severe  test.  All  blocks  tested  showed  an 
excellent  diffusion."  An  ever-changing  decorative  effect  is  produced  by  the  play  of 
light  as  the  angle  of  vision  changes. 

STANDARD  CUTTINGS— There  are  4  standard  cuttings.  Cutting  No.  11  consists  of 
vertical  ribs  which  are  impressed  upon  the  exterior  faces  of  the  block.  The  design  of 
Cutting  No.  1  consists  of  horizontal  ribs  on  the  inside  of  the  2  faces  of  the  block  and 
vertical  ribs  on  the  outside  of  the  2  faces  of  the  block.  Cutting  No.  4  consists  of  very 
fine  pyramidal  prisms  pressed  onto  the  inside  of  the  2  faces  of  the  block,  the  exterior 
being  smooth.  Slightly  larger  pyramidal  prismas  are  pressed  upon  the  inside  of  the  2 
faces  of  the  block  to  form  Cutting  No.  5,  the  exterior  being  smooth. 

SPECIAL  STANDARDS — A  number  of  additional  face  cuttings  are  available  at  no 
increase  in  cost.  These  are  designated  as  "Special  Standards,"  of  which  the  illustra- 
tions are  representative.  They  are  not  regularly  stocked  in  local  warehouses  but 
prompt  shipment  can  be  obtained  from  the  factory  at  Muncie,  Indiana.  These  Special 
Standard  designs  offer  a  further  range  of  light  transmission  values  and  decorative 
possibilities.  No.  7  Cutting  has  large  vertical  ribs  on  the  inside  of  both  faces,  exterior 
faces  smooth.  Cutting  No.  10  has  small  ribs  vertically  on  one  exterior  face  and  hori- 
zontally on  the  other  exterior  face,  the  two  interior  faces  being  smooth.  Cutting  No.  2 
has  large  ribs  running  on  both  faces.  Cutting  No.  3  is  similar  to  Standard  Cutting 
No.  4,  except  that  a  diamond  pattern  is  created  by  small  arrises  running  diagonally 
and  at  right  angles  to  each  other. 

SPECIAL  BLOCKS— The  Owens-Illinois  Glass  Company  will  be  pleased  to  consult 
with  interested  persons  in  the  creation  of  glass  masonry  blocks  for  special  conditions. 
Special  face  cuttings,  colored  blocks  and  blocks  of  special  sizes  can.  be  produced. 
Information  will  be  gladly  furnished  upon  request.

•  STRUCTURAL  STRENGTH  •  RESISTANCE  TO  HEAT  LOSS 


Owens-Illinois  Glass  Blocks  are  a  pressed  glass  prod- 
uct which  results  in  absolutely  uniform  wall  thickness 
impossible  to  obtain  by  the  blown  process.  The  uni- 
form wall  thickness  makes  it  possible  to  thoroughly 
anneal  the  blocks,  thereby  developing  to  the  highest 
degree  the  natural  mechanical  strength  of  the  ma- 
terial. 

COMPRESSIVE  STRENGTH  —  Insulux  Glass  Blocks 
are  not  now  offered  as  a  load-bearing  material,  yet 
they  possess  ample  compressive  strength  to  be  self- 
supporting  within  the  limits  prescribed  by  the  ratio 
of  their  thickness  to  any  practical  height.  The  average 
ultimate  strength  developed  by  this  material  in  tests 
is  800  pounds  per  square  inch  with  the  standard 
ASTM  cap.  A  safe  working  load  for  Insulux  Glass 
Masonry  erected  in  accordance  with  the  specifica- 
tions appearing  on  page  16  of  this  catalog,  using  a 
safety  factor  of  4,  is  200  pounds  per  square  inch. 
LATERAL  STRENGTH— Tests  show  that  a  panel  10  ft.- 
0  in.  X  15  ft.-O  in.  would  withstand  a  90  to  100  mile 
gale.  Therefore,  it  will  withstand  the  usual  20  pounds 
per  square  foot  wind  pressure  allowance,  with  a 
safety  factor  of  four. 

IMPACT  STRENGTH— The  thickness  of  the  shell  wall 
of  the  block  and  its  design  make  it  withstand  normal 
wall  impact  without  failure. 

MORTAR  BOND  STRENGTH— The  standard  require- 
ment for  mortar  bond  in  brickwork  is  13.8  pounds  per 
square  inch  in  tension.  Tests  on  Insulux  Glass  Ma- 
sonry show  an  average  of  27.2  pounds  per  square 
inch.  Similarly,  they  have  proved  equal  in  shear  to 
many  other  masonry  materials. 

THERMAL  EXPANSION- The  expansion  and  con 
traction  of  Insulux  Glass  Blocks  under  temperature 
changes  correspond  closely  with  those  of  mortar  in 
conjunction  with  which  they  are  used.

merce recommends  the  following  working  stresses  in 
compression  in  lbs.  per  sq.  in.  They  are  presented

The  high  resistance  of  Insulux  Glass  Masonry  to  heat 
loss  by  conduction  or  infiltration  reduces  the  cost  of 
air  conditioning  and  artificial  heating.  It  offers  pro- 
tection against  penetration  of  solar  heat.  In  the  manu- 
facturing process,  the  air  in  the  hollow  glass  block  is 
trapped  at  a  very  high  temperature.  When  the  block 
is  cooled  it  contains  only  thoroughly  dry  air  under 
partial  vacuum,  the  rarefied  dead  air  trapped  in  small 
volume  forming  an  excellent  heat  insulator.  Tests 
show  Insulux  Glass  Block  to  be  one  of  the  best  insu- 
lators among  building  materials,  and  unique  when 
its  light-transmitting  properties  are  also  considered. 

CONDUCTION — Average  coefficients  of  heat  trans- 
mission in  Btu's  per  hour  per  square  foot  per  F°  dif- 
ference in  temperature  are  based  on  a  wind  velocity 
of  15  mph.  Coefficients  for  masonry  walls  marked  *

INFILTRATION  —  Air  infiltration  through  cracks 
around  windows  represents  a  considerable  heat  loss 
either  in  air  conditioning  or  heating.  Insulux  Trans- 
lucent Masonry  used  to  admit  light,  because  of  the 
depth  of  its  solid  mortar  joint,  reduces  this  loss  to  a 
minimum.  If  openings  must  be  used  for  natural  ventila- 
tion, they  can  be  much  smaller  in  area  and  periphery.

compared  with  an  equal  area  of  single  glazed  steel 
sash  for  the  midday  period  of  4  hours.  This  is  of 
paramount  importance  in  relation  to  comfort  and  air 
conditioning.

A  daylight  view  of 
the  Owens-Illinois 
Building  at  the  Cen- 
tury of  Progress  Ex- 
position. Architect, 
Eloy  Ruiz.  This 
building  was 
erected  as  an  Expo- 
sition novelty,  but 
nevertheless 
marked  a  definite 
phase  in  the  devel- 
opment of  glass  ma- 
sonry. Insulux  Glass 
Blocks  have  been 
materially  improved 
since  this  structure 
was  built. 


29 


The  lighting  of  this 
building  made  it  as 
beautiful  by  night 
as  by  day.  Built  en- 
tirely of  glass  block, 
it  withstood  the  ex- 
tremely rigorous 
weather  conditions 
of  the  Chicago  lake 
front,  attesting  to 
the  practicality  of 
glass  masonry  con- 
struction. 


SOUND  DEADENING — Minute  vibrations  are  set  up 

in  partitions  consisting  of  single  thin  sections  of  wood, 
glass  or  metal  by  the  alternating  pressure  of  the  inci- 
dent sound.  The  amount  of  transmission  depends 
upon  the  mass  or  stiffness  of  the  partition.  Partitions 
constructed  of  Insulux  Glass  Masonry  possess  rigidity 
and  thickness,  making  them  effective  in  deadening 
the  transmission  of  sound. 

FIRE  RESISTANCE — In  order  to  form  an  effective  fire 
stop  to  fires  of  the  usual  duration  and  intensity,  it  is 
necessary  to  prevent  the  passage  of  flame  through 
any  material.  Incidental  crazing  and  cracking,  how- 
ever severe,  does  not  destroy  the  value  of  the  ma- 
terial as  a  fire  stop.  The  cooling  and  impact  of  fire 
streams  may  cause  cracks  and  crazing  but  do  not 
result  in  failure  of  the  Insulux  Glass  Masonry  wall 
under  conditions  encountered  with  proper  fire  pro- 
tection. 

MOISTURE  PENETRATION— Moisture  can  penetrate 
an  Insulux  Glass  Masonry  wall  only  through  the  mor- 
tar joints  which,  with  the  mortars  specified,  is  prac- 
tically impossible.  Neither  under  test  nor  in  actual 
use  has  condensation  collected  on  the  inside  surface 
of  an  Insulux  Glass  Masonry  wall  within  practical 
ranges  of  temperature,  humidity  and  air  motion. 

CLEANLINESS  AND  MAINTENANCE— Insulux  Glass 
Masonry  has  the  high  sanitary  property  that  is  in- 
herent in  glass.  The  surface  of  glass  is  non-porous 
which  prevents  the  passage  of  air  and  gases  and  will 
not  absorb  odors,  water  or  grease.  Several  of  the  face 
cutting  designs  of  Insulux  Glass  Blocks  have  smooth 
exterior  faces,  the  prismatic  cutting  being  impressed 
upon  the  interior  of  the  faces  of  the  block.  In  other 


designs  the  faces  have  simple,  flat,  rounded  ribs  on 
their  exteriors.  The  simplicity  of  the  surfaces  thus  ob- 
tained minimizes  the  accumulation  of  surface  dirt  and 
makes  its  removal  easy.  The  use  of  glass  masonry 
eliminates  air  infiltration  which  is  often  a  path  by 
which  dirt  and  dust  enter  a  building.  The  hard  bril- 
liant surface  of  glass  blocks  does  not  disintegrate  and 
cannot  be  easily  marked,  written  upon  or  defaced. 
The  weather  does  not  affect  glass  masonry,  it  does 
not  oxidize,  it  requires  no  painting  nor  other  interior 
finish. 

REMOVAL  AND  REPLACEMENT— A  damaged  glass 
block  can  be  removed  easily  from  the  wall  by  drilling 
holes  in  the  mortar  joint  in  opposite  corners  and  then 
inserting  a  keyhole  saw  through  the  joint  and  sawing 
out  the  block.  The  new  block  is  then  buttered  with 
mortar,  inserted  in  place  and  the  job  completed  by 
pointing. 

USES  OF  INSULUX  MASONRY— Since  Insulux  Trans 
lucent  Masonry  admits  diffused  light  of  desirable 
character  without  allowing  heat  flow,  it  offers  an 
economy  in  the  construction  of  air-conditioned  and 
artificially  heated  buildings  obtainable  in  no  other 
building  material.  The  sanitary  properties  make  glass 
masonry  desirable  for  use  in  such  buildings  as  hos- 
pitals, dairies,  bakeries  and  breweries.  The  water- 
clear  glass  may  be  floodlighted  to  produce  striking 
and  easily  varied  decorative  effects.  The  diffusion 
characteristics  definitely  indicate  its  use  in  public 
schools,  shops,  offices,  or  any  place  where  close  work 
is  the  daily  routine  and  shadows  are  undesirable. 
An  infinite  number  of  applications  will  suggest  them- 
selves to  designers  and  builders  far  beyond  the  scope 
of  any  tabulation  that  might  be  attempted. 


European  architects 
have  long  been  fa- 
miliar with  glass 
block  construction. 
This  kaffeehaus  by 
architect  Bohuslav 
Fuchs  illustrates  a 
striking  combination 
of  its  functional  and 
decorative  use. 


No  special  skill  is 
required  in  remov- 
ing and  replacing 
glass  blocks.  The 
buttered  block  is 
easily  replaced  and 
pointing  the  joint 
completes    the  job.

0  Below  are  shown  various  details  for  openings  through  Insulux  Masonry- 
walls.  Doors,  windows,  louvers  or  other  openings  can  be  made  as  easily 
as  with  other  types  of  masonry.  Any  type  of  frame  or  trim  is  easily 
installed.  The  frames  for  openings,  with  their  anchors  bent  at  90°,  should 
be  put  in  place  first  and  the  glass  masonry  built  to  them.  The  size  of 
frames  for  openings  should  be  adjusted  to  the  course  heights  of  the  blocks 
to  be  used  since  blocks  cannot  be  chipped  to  fit  uneven  spaces.  Different 
methods  of  anchoring  large  panels  of  translucent  masonry  to  intermediate 
supports  are  illustrated.

01nsulux  Glass  Blocks  offer  many  possibilities  for  patterns,  either  used 
alone  or  combined  with  ordinary  brickwork  or  other  masonry.  In  Fig- 
ure 1,  the  half  block  has  been  combined  with  the  rectangular  block. 
Figure  2  is  ordinary  Running  Bond.  Figure  3  shows  the  glass  block 
bonded  into  a  brick  masonry  wall  by  means  of  quoins.  The  Checker- 
board Bond  shown  in  Figure  4  can  be  varied  by  the  selection  of  differ- 
ent face  cuttings.  Figure  7  illustrates  the  use  of  the  half  blocks  by 
means  of  which  almost  any  brick  bond  pattern  can  be  rendered  in 
glass  masonry.  Figure  9  shows  Spiral  Bond  which  requires  a  chase  at 
the  jambs  to  cover  the  start  of  the  pattern.

MODERNIZATION  OF 
INDUSTRIAL  BUILDINGS 

>The  obsolescence  of  industrial  buildings  is  in 
many  cases  no  less  than  that  of  the  machin- 
ery and  equipment  which  they  house.  With 
the  increase  in  efficiency  brought  by  modern 
air-conditioning  methods^  the  heat  loss  of  large 
windows  becomes  a  critical  item  of  expense. 
The  use  of  Insulux  Translucent  Masonry  pro- 
vides perfectly  diffused  lighting  and  reduces 
the  cost  of  heating  during  the  cold  months  and 
air  conditioning  during  the  summer.

STORE  FRONT  DESIGN 
IN  INSULUX  BLOCK 

|In  the  design  shown  on  this  page,  advantage 
has  been  taken  of  both  the  functional  and  the 
decorative  properties  of  the  material.  The 
glass  bulkhead  and  spandrel  admit  light  into 
the  building  during  the  daylight  hours,  or  can 
be  floodlighted  from  the  inside  to  increase  the 
"eye  appeal"  of  the  front.  Colored  floodlight- 
ing at  night  turns  the  store  front  into  a  compell- 
ing advertisement.  The  use  of  water-clear 
blocks  permits  great  flexibility  in  the  color 
scheme.  A  simple  change  in  the  lamps  or 
screens  used  in  the  artificial  lighting  results 
in  an  entirely  new  effect  whenever  desired.

INSULUX  BLOCK  FOR 
MODERN  INTERIORS 

#The  imagination  of  the  creative  designer  is 
allowed  full  play  with  Insulux  Translucent 
Masonry.  The  sparkling  surface  and  the  pos- 
sibility of  striking  color  effects  by  means  of 
artificial  lighting  mark  a  new  step  in  the  de- 
velopment of  the  modern  architectural  treat- 
ment of  interiors.  Reference  to  the  plan  of  the 
columns  suggests  one  method  of  lighting.  The 
encasing  around  the  structural  column  is 
painted  white  to  reflect  the  light  and  create 
an  even  tone  of  illumination.  The  metal  cor- 
ners containing  the  strip  lighting  are  remov- 
able for  the  replacement  of  lamps.  The  glass 
face  of  the  bar  is  lighted  by  a  series  of  small 
reflectors,  as  shown  in  the  section.

INTERIOR  PARTITIONS 
OF  INSULUX  MASONRY 

•insulux  Glass  Masonry  offers  many  advan- 
tages over  other  materials  in  the  construction 
of  interior  partitions.  Office  corridor  partitions 
can  be  made  highly  resistant  to  sound  trans- 
mission and  attractive  in  appearance,  as 
shown  in  Figures  1,  2  and  3.  The  high  sanitary 
property  of  Insulux  Glass  Block  and  its  lack 
of  porosity  makes  it  an  ideal  material  for 
shower  enclosures,  hospital  and  food  factory 
construction.  In  industrial  and  loft  buildings, 
it  is  ideal  for  dividing  spaces  without  the  loss 
of  light,  as  suggested  in  Figure  5.  The  decora- 
tive quality  of  Insulux  Glass  Block  makes  it  a 
suitable  material  for  many  other  uses,  one  of 
which  is  suggested  in  Figure  6.

INSULUX  MASONRY 
FOR  RESIDENCES 

0On  this  page  are  suggested  two  uses  for  In- 
sulux  Glass  Masonry,  but  many  others  will 
occur  to  the  designer.  The  ability  to  admit 
light  of  pleasing  quality  while  obscuring  the 
vision  of  outsiders  makes  it  adaptable  to  uses 
such  as  are  indicated  here.  Openings  over- 
looking unpleasant  surroundings  may  be 
made  to  admit  light,  at  the  same  time  obscur- 
ing an  unsightly  view.  The  problem  of  secur- 
ing adequate  light  in  bathrooms  without  sac- 
rificing privacy  is  one  easily  solved  with  In- 
sulux  Translucent  Masonry.  Basement  laun- 
dries and  recreation  rooms  can  be  well  lighted 
by  Insulux  bulkheads,  as  shown  in  the  draw- 
ing at  the  lower  right.

BASIC  SPECIFICATIONS 


GLASS  BLOCK — Where  glass  block  are  shown  on  drawings  or 
called  for  in  these  specifications,  they  shall  be  Insulux  Glass  Block 
as  manufactured  by  the  Owens-Illinois  Glass  Company. 

SIZE  AND  CUTTING— All  Insulux  Glass  Block  shall  be  of  size 
and  cutting  design  as  shown  on  drawings  (or)  shall  be  of  the 
following  sizes  and  cutting  designs  (here  list  the  location,  sizes  and 
cutting  design  numbers.) 

CEMENT — All  cement  used  in  mortar  shall  be  a  portland  cement 
complying  with  the  specifications  of  the  American  Society  for  Test- 
ing Materials. 

LIME — All  lime  used  for  mortar  may  be  either  quicklime  or  hy- 
drated  lime. 

Quicklime   shall  be  fresh,  well  burned,  free  from  ashes,  core, 

clinker,  other  foreign  materials  or  air-slaked  particles. 

Quicklime  shall  be  slaked  in  a  water-tight  box  using  sufficient 

water  to  prevent  burning  and  to  make  a  creamy  putty.  During  the 

slaking  it  shall  be  thoroughly  hoed  to  prevent  burning. 

All  slaked  lime  shall  be  aged  for  at  least  7  days  before  using  and 

the  resultant  putty  shall  be  sufficiently  stiff  to  permit  easy  shoveling. 

HYDRATED  LIME— All  hydrated  Ume  shall  be  of  standard  brand, 
shall  meet  the  standard  specifications  of  the  American  Society  for 
Testing  Materials  and  shall  be  delivered  in  the  original  packages 
of  the  manufacturer. 

SAND — All  sand  used  for  mortar  shall  be  clean,  sharp  with  angu- 
lar particles,  free  from  vegetable  matter,  loam,  clay  or  other  foreign 
matter.  It  shall  comply  with  the  standard  specifications  of  the 
American  Society  for  Testing  Materials. 

MORTAR  COLORS — All  mortar  colors  shall  be  mineral  colors  of 
standard  brand  and  shall  be  delivered  to  the  job  in  the  original 
packages  of  the  manufacturer. 

Mortar  colors  may  be  paste  or  dry  powder,  chemically  inert  and 
alkaline  proof.  All  mortar  colors  shall  be  used  according  to  manu- 
facturer's directions. 

WATER — Shall  be  clean,  free  from  alkalis  or  organic  matter. 

MASONRY  MORTARS — A  masonry  mortar  of  high  strength  and 

low  volume  change  may  be  used  instead  of  the  portland  cement 
and  lime  mixture,  if  desired.  Any  standard  brand  of  masonry  mor- 
tar, of  which  there  are  several  meeting  the  above  requirements, 
will  be  found  satisfactory.  Such  masonry  mortar  shall  be  mixed 
and  used  according  to  the  manufacturer's  directions. 

MORTAR — Materials  used  in  making  the  mortar  shall  be  measured 
by  volume.  For  this  purpose  25  pounds  quicklime  or  40  pounds  hy- 
drated lime  shall  equal  one  cubic  foot  of  portland  cement. 
All  mortars  shall  be  composed  of  one  part  portland  cement,  one 
part  lime  and  four  parts  sand.  If  conditions  warrant  it,  sand  can 
be  altered  to  use  as  high  as  five  parts.  It  shall  be  mixed  in  a 
watertight  box  and  hoed  from  end  to  end  until  thoroughly  incorpo- 
rated. Consistency  shall  be  such  that  the  hoe  is  clean  when  with- 
drawn from  the  mortar. 

LAYING — Fill  all  joints  uniformly  and  completely  and  allow  the 
mortar  to  set  after  each  five  courses.  Compress  or  point  joints  on 
both  surfaces  with  metal  pointing  tool.  Tool  when  set.  If  block  must 
be  disturbed  after  laid,  clean  it  and  relay.  All  openings  must  have 
steel  lintels  except  those  spanned  by  an  Insulux  unit. 

CALKING — Where  called  for  by  the  details,  use  a  plastic,  non- 
hardening,  water-repellant  calking  compound  of  approved  brand. 

REINFORCEMENT— Use  20  gauge  x  13/4  in.  x  6  ft.  strips  with  1  in. 
diameter  perforations,  W4  in.  OC  galvanized  after  shearing.  Place 
reinforcing  strips  in  all  glass  masonry  panels  over  6  ft.  0  in.  wide, 
every  fifth  course.  Lap  strings  8  in.  allowing  ends  to  act  as  an- 
chors to  the  masonry  piers  by  projecting  into  the  masonry  at 
least  18  in. 


SCIENTIFIC  TEST  DATA 

Technical  data  are  available  as  the  result  of  extensive  laboratory 
tests  on  many  of  the  aspects  of  translucent-masonry  construction. 
Additional  information  on  scientific  questions  will  be  furnished 
gladly  upon  request. 

COST  OF  INSULUX  MASONRY 

It  is  only  by  the  Owens-Illinois  method  of  manufacturing  glass 
blocks  that  a  product  of  great  uniformity  can  be  produced  at  low 
cost.  Insulux  Glass  Masonry  compares  in  first  cost  with  medium 
quality  8  in.  thick  brick  walls  or  average  quality  glazed  steel  sash 
— but  offers  high  heat  resistance  and  other  advantages  materially 
reducing  the  expense  of  maintenance.  The  simple  reinforcing 
method  recommended  combines  complete  effectiveness  and  eco- 
nomical installation.  Prompt  quotations  will  be  furnished  by  an 
Owens-Illinois  representative  upon  request.  The  cost  of  any  ma- 
terial in  place  is  the  only  basis  for  accurate  comparison.

The  simple  morlar  joint,  made  possible  by  the  Owens-Illinois  method 
of  securing  bond,  makes  the  cost  of  erection  and  repair  of  Insulux 
Glass  Masonry  lower  than  if  the  bond  depended  upon  an  irregu- 
larly shaped  mechanical  key.  Ordinary  care  in  handling  Insulux 
Glass  Blocks  on  the  job  will  result  in  a  complete  absence  of  break- 
age. No  greater  precautions  are  necessary  than  in  the  handling  of 
fine  face  brick,  terra  cotta  or  cut  stone.

TRADE  careful 

NKTCO 


The  Natco  Line  of  Structural  Clay  Prod- 
ucts comprises  units  which  can  be  economically 
and  effectively  used  for  walls,  partitions  and 
foundations,  for  fireproof  floors  of  many  mark 
kinds,asaprotection  for  steel  structural  mem- 
bers, for  roofs — in  short,  they  have  an  application  some- 
where in  every  building,  everywhere  in  some  buildings. 

Wherever  used,  Natco  Structural  Clay  Tile  give 
maximum  strength  with  minimum  weight.  All  units 
are  made  of  selected  clay,  cured  and  burned  under  the 


supervision  of  graduate  ceramic 
engineers.  Permanent  in  form  and  struc- 
ture, they  are  not  affected  by  heat,  cold, 
dampness  or  chemicals.  They  do  not  warp 
or  disintegrate.  Being  made  of  hard-burned 
clay,  they  are  highly  resistive  to  fire. 

The  Engineering  Department  of  the  Corporation  will 
glady  co-operate  in  working  out  the  most  efficient  and 
economical  use  of  Natco  Structural  Clay  Tile  on  specific 
applications. 


NATCO  GLAZED  TILE  FOR  INTERIOR  WALLS  AND  PARTITIONS 


The  different  types  of  Natco  Glazed  Tile,  described 
below,  are  glass-hard,  are  easily  cleaned  and  kept  clean. 
The  colors,  the  shades,  the  glazed  surfaces  endure  with 
no  liability  of  any  future  maintenance,  painting  or  re- 
pair bills.  Proof  against  fire,  the  large  comparatively 
light  units  are  also  quickly  and  easily  handled  and  laid. 
The  new  De-Airing  Process,  used  in  its  manufacture, 
by  removing  all  entrapped  air  from  the  clay  before  it 
is  formed  into  shape,  eliminates  imperfections  and  pro- 
motes true  and  even  edges. 


Natco  Glazed  Tile,  due  to  its  pleasing  appearance, 
sanitary  qualities,  insulation  advantages,  as  well  as 
savings,  both  in  first  and  maintenance  costs,  is  ideal 
for  walls,  partitions,  wainscots  in  public,  institutional, 
commercial  and  industrial  buildings  of  every  type  and 
kind.  It  readily  adapts  itself  to  strikingly  modern  as 
well  as  conservative  decorative  wall  treatments. 

Below  is  a  description  of  the  various  types  of  Natco 
Glazed  Tile.

in  mottled  buffs,  pinks,  greens,  grays,  browns,  etc. 

Salt  glazes  are  furnished  in  mingled  buff  shades.  The  min- 
gling in  both  the  ceramic  and  salt  glaze  is  much  more  pleasing 
and  artistic  than  uninteresting,  uniformly  matched  shades.

Unglazed  Facing  Tile  are  much  less  than  other  forms  of 
permanent  facing.

GYPSUM  PARTITION  AND  FURRING  TILE 


Our  gypsum  partition  and  furring  tile  is 
now  identified  under  the  following  brand  names  : 
''Certain-teed"  or  ''Certain-teed  Acme." 

The  following  data  is  pertinent  to  both 
brands. 

Gypsum  tiles  are  used  for  non-bearing 
construction  in  building  interiors,  such  as  par- 
titions and  wall  furring,  used  as  protection  against  fire 
on  columns,  in  elevator  shafts,  stair  wells,  etc.  These 
tiles  possess  all  the  necessary  physical  requirements  for 
a  perfect  fireproofing  material  and, 
in  addition,  are  light  in  weight,  per- 
mitting easier  and  faster  handling 
and  cutting  aw^ay  of  openings  in  a 
standard  wall  if  necessary. 

Gypsum  partition  tiles  are  also 
easily  chased  for  conduits,  switch 
boxes  or  pipe  lines. 

Grounds  may  be  easily  nailed 
to  gypsum  tile  and  bucks  may  be 
anchored  by  nailing  with  tenpenny 
cut  nails  directly  into  the  end  of 
each  block  course. 

Another  advantage  of  gypsum 
tile  to  be  taken  into  consideration 
when  designing  the  structural  part 
of  a  building  is  the  saving  in  dead  load  when  using 
gypsum  tile  partitions. 

Gypsum  tile  is  not  only  extremely  light,  but  because 
of  the  large  units,  less  mortar  is  required  for  setting, 
and  due  to  its  uniform  moulding  in  manufacture,  accu- 
rate weight  of  gypsum  is  assured  and  a  saving  of  plaster 
effected.  All  these  savings  tend  to  lessen  the  dead  load 
and  naturally  reduce  the  cost  of  construction. 

Fire  Protection 

Gypsum  tiles  have  passed  unusually  severe  and  ex- 
haustive tests  on  their  fire-resistant  properties.  They 
are  especially  recommended  for  non-bearing,  fireproof 
partitions,  stairways  and  elevator  enclosures,  and  un- 
plastered,  non-bearing  warehouse  partitions,  and  for 
similar  construction  where  a  highly  fire-resistant  mate- 
rial is  required.

Partition  Tile 


Non-conductor  of  Sound 

Gypsum  partition  tiles  are  excellent  non- 
conductors of  sound  and  for  that  reason  are 
recommended  and  successfully  used  in  hospitals, 
schools,  office  buildings,  apartments,  hotels  and 
all  buildings  where  a  soundproof  partition  is 
desired.  Authentic  tests  determine  that  less 
than  1/100  of  1  per  cent  of  incident  sound  is  trans- 
mitted through  gypsum  tile  partition  plastered  with 
gypsum  plaster. 

Other  Advantages 

Gypsum  tiles  by  test  have  been 
proved  to  embody  maximum  den- 
sity, great  crushing  strength,  su- 
preme fire,  sound,  and  vermin  proof 
qualities,  with  slight  water  absorp- 
tion and  negligible  breakage. 

Certain-teed  and  Certain-teed 
Acme  gypsum  tile  are  marked  off 
by  inches  both  longitudinally  and 
vertically.  This  feature  minimizes 
labor  expense  and  expedites  erec- 
tion. 

Laying 

Gypsum  unfibered  plaster 
should  always  be  used  to  lay  these  tiles.  It  makes 
a  perfect  bond  and  a  stronger  wall  than  either  lime  or 
Portland  cement  mortar.  Approximately  I/2  ton  of 
plaster  is  required  to  set    sq.  ft.  of  block.

BASIC  SPECIFICATION  FOR  GYPSUM  PARTITION  AND  FURRING  TILE 

Using  Certain-teed  or  Certain-tccd  Acme  Gypsum  Tile  in  a  Fireproof  (Fire-resistive)  Building 


Notes:  This  specification  is  prepared  for  use  in  connection  with  the 
installation  of  non-bearing  gypsum  partitions  and  furring  in  a  fire-re- 
sistive building.  It  may  be  used  as  written  if  the  contractor  for  parti- 
tions and  furring  is  a  Sub-Contractor  to  the  (General  Contractor.  If, 
however,  the  gypsum  partitions  and  furring  are  to  be  mcluded  under 
Mason  Work,  or  Lathing  and  Plastering,  according  to  locality  and  condi- 
tions the  opening  paragraphs  (Section  I  (a),  (b)  and  (c))  should  be 
modified  accordingly. 

After  various  paragraphs  will  be  found  interpolated  notes — which 
offer  information  and  suggestions.  Notes  included  in  (  )  refer  directly 
to  preceding  paragraph. 

Following  this  specification  will  be  found  "General  Notes"  in  expla- 
nation of  various  provisions  of  the  specification  which  are  referred  to  in 
the  interpolated  notes. 

Alternate  specifications  are  suggested  and  will  be  found  in  small  type 
in  [  ]  inserted  after  the  proper  clauses  or  section  of  the  main  specifica- 
tion paragraphs. 

Note  for  Specification  Writer:  When  writing  a  specification  for  a 
project  at  hand  it  is  only  necessary  to  use  the  paragraphs  that  cover  the 
type  of  construction  contemplated.  It  may  be  necessary  to  slightly  revise 
certain  paragraphs  to  fit  the  individual  requirements. 

I.  General 

(a)  The  General  Conditions  of  this  specification  are  hereby 
made  to  constitute  a  part  of  the  specification  for  the  furnishing 
and  installation  of  Gypsum  Partition  and  Furring  Tile. 

(If  partition  and  furring  tile  are  to  be  furnished  and  set  as  a  part 
of  Masonry  Work,  or  of  Plastering  Work,  omit  paragraph  (a)  and  place 
the  heading  "Gypsum  Partitions  and  Furring"  at  head  of  paragraph 
(b)  changing  it  to  (a).) 

(b)  This  Contractor  shall  report  any  floors,  door  bucks, 
etc.,  and  any  walls,  windows,  etc.,  which  are  not  secure,  plumb, 
true  and  level  to  the  General  Contractor  for  correction  before 
proceeding  with  any  gypsum  block  work. 

(In  some  parts  of  the  country,  the  architect  may  wish  to  eliminate 
this  provision  depentling  upon  local  conditions;  sec  also  Far.  (a)  under 
General  Notes.) 

(c)  This  Contractor  shall  accurately  lay  out  all  partitions 
and  furring  and  set  one  course  of  tile  one  block  high  before  door 
bucks,  etc.  arc  placed. 

(If  Gypsum  Partition  and  Furring  are  under  Mason  Contractors 
work,  they  will  probably  be  laid  out  by  the  General  Contractors  super- 
intendent and  this  paragraph  may  be  eliminated.) 

II.    Extent  of  Work  and  Exceptions 

(a)  Furnish  all  materials,  labor,  scaffolding,  etc.  necessary 
to  install  and  complete  the  following,  ready  for  plastering. 

(If  there  are  any  special  places  where  gypsum  block  is  to  be  used  and 
any  exceptions  as  here  mentioned,  this  paragraph  should  be  modified  and 
the  drawings  noted  accordingly.) 

(b)  All  partitions  enclosing  or  separating  lobbies,  corri- 
dors, rooms  and  elsewhere  throughout  the  building,  unless  other- 
wise shown,  marked  or  specified. 

(c)  All  furring  on  the  interior  of.  all  exterior  walls  and  all 
other  places  so  indicated. 


III.  Materials 

Partition  and  Furring  Tile 

(a)  All  of  the  foregoing  shall  be  constructed  of  ("Certain- 
teed"  or  "(jertain-teed  Acme")  gypsum  tile  as  manufactured  by 
the  Certain-teed  Pkodixts  Corporation,  New  York,  N.  Y.,  or 
other  tile  meeting  the  tests  of  the  American  Society  for  Test- 
ing Materials  if  approved  in  writing  1)y  the  Architect.  All 
blocks  shall  be  thoroughly  seasoned  before  shipment. 

(If  other  than  the  types  of  Certain-teed  tile  on  which  this  specifica- 
tion is  based  are  to  be  used  modify  Par.  (a)  accordingly.) 

(See  Standard  Specifications  for  Gypsum  Tile  adopted  by  the 
American  Society  for  Testing  Materials.) 

(b)  Unless  otherwise  indicated  or  specified  all  partitions 
shall  be  of  (3,  4  or  6)  in.  hollow  tile  and  all  furring  of  (3 
or  4)  in.  "split"  tile.  Where  2  in.  tile  is  called  for  on  the 
drawings,  they  shall  be  solid  and  where  tile  3  in.  or  more  in 
thickness  is  called  for,  same  shall  be  hollow. 

(If  it  is  desired  for  certain  enclosures  to  use  solid  tile  where  hollow 
are  here  called  for  or  vice  versa,  Par.  (b)  should  be  changed  to  suit.) 

(c)  All  blocks  for  partitions  and  furring  shall  be  of  stand- 
ard 12x30  in.  size.  Not  more  than  8%  of  the  tile  used  shall

dry  location,  well  protected  from  dampness. 

(d)  This  Contractor  shall  do  all  cutting,  fitting  or  patching 
of  tile  required  to  accommodate  any  partitions  or  furring  to 
electrical  conduits,  plumbing  and  heating  pipes,  etc.  which  may 
be  installed  ahead  of  his  work. 

M  ortar 

(a)  All  gypsum  tile  construction  shall  be  laid  up  with 
gypsum  mortar  composed  of  unfibered  cement  plaster  as  manu- 
factured by  the  Certain-teed  Products  Corporation,  thor- 
oughly mixed  in  the  proportions,  by  weight,  of  1  part  gypsum 
to  not  more  than  3  parts  of  clean,  sharp,  dry  sand.  Gypsum 
mortar  shall  not  be  retempered  and  only  as  much  mortar  as 
can  be  used  in  3  hours  shall  be  mixed  at  one  time. 

IV.  Partitions 

(a)  The  first  course  of  all  gypsum  tile  used  for  perma- 
nently located  partitions  and  for  furring  shall  be  laid  in  a  bed 
of  gypsum  mortar  spread  on  the  rough  floor  slab.  Tile  courses 
must  not  be  started  upon  frozen  concrete  nor  upon  cinder  con- 
crete when  such  is  used  for  the  purpose  of  fill  only.  Wherever 
a  tile,  cement  or  terrazzo  base,  etc.  is  to  be  installed  and  m  any 
basement  partitions  or  furring  the  starting  course  shall  be  of 
hollow  clay  tile  equal  in  thickness  to  the  gypsum  tile  specified.

(When  partitions  may  be  of  a  temporary  nature  such  as  those  sub- 
dividing office  space  they  may  preferably  be  started  on  top  of  the  finished 
floor  to  facilitate  possible  changes.  This  applies  except  on  wood  floors 
where  the  blocks  should  be  started  on  the  underlying  masonry  construc- 
tion When  such  sub-dividing  partitions  are  shown  on  plans  and  are  to 
be  started  on  the  finished  masonry  floor  they  should  be  so  indicated  and 
Par.  (a)  amplified  accordingly.    (See  also  Par.  (b)  under  General  Notes.) 

(Wherever  wall  tiles  are  to  be  set  against  gypsum  block,  the  specifica- 
tion writer  should  provide  under  the  Specification  for  Tile  Work  the 
paragraphs  given  below  which  are  quoted  from  the  Basic  Specification  for 
Tile  Work,  Revised  Edition,    of  the  Associated  Tile  Manufacturers.) 

Specification  for  Tile  Work 

"Wherever  tile  work  is  to  he  set  against  gypsum  tile  this  Contractor 
shall  furnish  and  place  a  layer  of  building  paper;  this  shall  be  overlaid 
with  stiffened  expanded  metal  lath  or  wire  lath.  Lath  shall  be  secured 
in  place  by  special  anchorage  or  lacing  as  conditions  require. 

"At  the  option  of  the  tile  contractor,  one  heavy  coat  of  asphaltum 
paint  or  other  equal  dampproofing  coat  may  he  substituted  for  building 
paper  hack  of  the  metal  lath  specified  for  use  on  gypsum  tile. 

(b)  The  gypsum  block  of  all  partitions  shall  be  laid  in 
horizontal  superimposed  courses  with  vertical  joints  broken 
All  blocks  shall  be  solidly  bedded  in  mortar  and  all  vertical 
joints  shall  be  full.  Partitions  shall  extend  from  the  floor,  as 
before  specified,  to  the  height  indicated.  All  permanently  located 
full  height  partitions  shall  extend  to  the  underside  of  floor 
construction  above  and  all  other  to  the  ceiling  and  shall  there 
be  wedged  with  wedges  cut  from  the  block  and  with  the  joints 
slushed  from  both  sides  with  gypsum  mortar. 

(c)  Partitions  intersecting  brick,  or  other  masonry  walls, 
shall  be  securely  anchored  to  such  walls  by  means  of  approved 
masonry  bond  or  metal  anchors,  or  by  lOd  nails  driven  into 
the  masonry  joints  at  each  gypsum  block  course. 

(d)  Partitions  shall  be  bonded  at  the  corners  by  overlapping 
alternate  courses  back  and  forth  (log  cabin  fashion).  All 
intersecting  partitions  shall  be  bonded  by  overlapping  not  less 
than  at  every  third  course.  Overlapping  tile  shall  cover  the 
courses  below  to  the  full  thickness  of  the  construction.  The 
ends  of  overlapping  tiles  where  exposed  on  the  face  shall  have 
the  cores  plugged  with  mortar  by  this  Contractor  as  the  tiles 
are  laid. 

V.  Furring 

(a)  The  gypsum  tile  furring  shall  be  laid  as  is  herein 
required  for  partitions.  Furring  shall  continue  to  frame 
wherever  plastered  or  wood  jambs  are  specified.  All  furring 
in  contact  with  the  construction  shall  be  securely  anchored 
to  the  masonry  by  means  of  lOd  nails  driven  into  the  masonry 
joints  at  intervals  not  greater  than  every  2  ft.  horizontally  and 
vertically.  Metal  ties  or  other  approved  methods  for  securing 
furring  to  the  masonry  may  be  used. 

Note:  To  avoid  excessive  breakage  of  furring  tile  in  transit  the 
Certain-teed  Products  Corporation  will  furnish  a  3  or  4-in.  furring  tile 
which  can  be  easily  split  on  the  job,  making  a  IV2  or  2  in.  tile  as  may 
be  required  by  the  specification. 

(See  "General  Notes"  Par.  (c)  for  data  regarding  the  use  of  split 
furring  against  stone  walls.) 

VI.  Bucks 

(See  also  "General  Notes"  Par.  (d)  and  (e).) 

(a)  Wood — Wood  bucks  will  be  furnished  and  set  as  speci- 
fied under  "Carpenter  Work." 

(b)  All  wood  bucks  of  openings  3  ft.  or  less  in  width  shall 
be  secured  to  the  ends  of  the  partition  tile  with  lOd  nails 
driven  into  every  course.  For  openings  wider  than  3  ft.  anchor 
strips  of  metal  lath,  wire  mesh  or  sheet  metal  shall  be  nailed 
or  stapled  securely  to  the  bucks  and  built  into  each  course  by 
this  Contractor. 

(c)  Metal — Metal  bucks  will  be  furnished  and  set  as  speci- 
fied under  "Metal  Work"  with  anchors  built  into  the  partition 
by  this  Contractor. 

(Both  wood  and  metal  bucks  are  referred  to  in  the  above  paragraph. 
Provisions  for  either  or  both,  as  required,  should  be  inserted,  by  the 
specification  writer,  in  specifications  for  trades  affected,  as  follows:) 

SpeciHcaiion  for  Carpenter  Work 

"Wood  Bucks  for  Gypsum  Partitions— all  doors,  interior  sash  and 
all  other  openings  required,  bucks  shall  be  furnished  and  set  by  this  Con- 
tractor. They  shall  be  not  less  than  1%  in.  thick  and  of  a  width  equal 
to  the  thickness  of  the  block  and  shall  have  not  less  than  ^>  in.  grounds 
nailed  to  the  sides  and  projecting  beyond  the  bucks  not  less  than  %  \n. 
forming  a  rabbet  to  receive  the  ends  of  the  partition  tile.  All  bucks 
shall  be  carefully  braced  plumb  and  true  and  left  ready  to  receive  gypsum 
tile,  finished  jambs,  heads  and  trim." 

"Wood  Bucks  for  Gypsum  Furring— A^o/«;  As  these  will  vary  accord- 
ing to  kind  of  wall,  location  and  reveal  of  windows  and  doors  the  architect 
should  here  describe  to  suit  or  refer  to  detail  drawings. 

"Other  Bucks— A^of^:  The  Architect  should  here  specify  bucks  for 
openings  in  any  walls  or  partitions  of  other  materials  than  gypsum. 


SpeciBcation  for  Metal  Work 

"Metal  Bucks— Note:  The  architect  should  here  specify  the  metal 
bucks  for  openings  in  walls  and  partitions.  It  is  not  considered  practical 
to  include  definite  specification  for  same  herein,  as  the  type  of  metal  buck 
to  be  used  and  the  method  of  installation  will  depend  upon  the  height  of 
the  partition,  sise  of  opening  and  other  features  of  construction." 

VIL    Nailing  Strips  and  Grounds 

See  also  "General  Notes"  Par.  (f) 

(a)  Nailing  strips  for  baseboards,  chair  rail  and  such  trim 
will  be  furnished  by  the  Carpenter  and  shall  be  set  in  the 
gypsum  tile  construction  by  this  Contractor  or  as  otherwise 
arranged  by  him. 

(b)  The  nailing  strips,  not  less  than  %  in.  thick  and  of 
such  other  dimensions  as  to  completely  cover  the  end  of  the 
block,  shall  be  nailed  directly  to  one  end  of  each  gypsum  tile 
with  not  less  than  four  lOd  nails.  Nailing  strips  for  toilet  and 
other  heavy  fixtures  shall  be  iVj  in.  thick  and  shall  be  spaced 
15  in.  o.c. 

(c)  Plaster  grounds  will  be  furnished  and  set  as  specified 
under  Carpenter  Work. 

(Nailing  strips  are  referred  to  in  the  above  paragraphs.  Provisions 
should  be  made  in  the  specification  for  Carpenter  Work  for  the  furnishing 
of  nailing  strips  and  grounds,  as  follows:) 

Specification  for  Carpenter  Work 

"Nailing  Strips  and  Grounds — Furnish  the  contractor  for  Gypsum 
Tile  Work  with  nailing  strips  to  be  spaced  30  in.  on  center  wherever  base- 
board, chair  rail,  etc.,  occur — these  shall  be  %  in.  thick,  12  in.  long  and 
in  width  equal  to  the  thickness  of  the  block  specified  for  partitions  and 
furring." 

VIII.  Untels 

Note:  Several  types  of  lintels  are  here  specified,  each  of  which  ha« 
its  suitable  use  according  to  the  size  of  the  opening,  type  of  block,  height 
of  ceiling,  etc.  As  any  or  all  of  these  may  occur  in  one  building,  the 
architect  should  select  the  type  applicable,  and  cross  out  any  of  those  not 
to  be  used. 

For  Openings  Not  Over  22  in.  Wide 

(a)  Built-up — Openings  in  partitions  of  gypsum  tile  which 
are  not  more  than  22  in.  in  width  shall  be  spanned  by  a  gypsum 
tile  which  shall  have  a  bearing  at  each  end  upon  the  jamb  of 
not  less  than  4  in. 

For  Openings  Not  Over  4  ft.  Wide 

(a)  Jack  Arch — When  openings  are  more  than  22  in.  but 
not  more  than  4  ft.  in  width,  the  gypsum  tile  over  the  opening 
shall  be  laid  in  the  form  of  a  jack  arch.  Skewbacks  shall 
be  cut  in  the  tile  used  over  the  jambs,  intermediate  tile  shall 
be  beveled  to  fit  the  skewbacks,  and  a  key  block  to  fit  shall  be 
set  in  the  center  of  the  jack  arch.  Bevel  cuts  shall  not  be 
less  than  4  in.  to  the  foot.  The  skewback  tile  shall  have  a 
bearing  on  the  jambs  of  not  less  than  12  in.  nor  shall  they  be 
set  so  as  to  project  beyond  the  face  of  the  jambs  to  a  distance 
greater  than  Vs  of  the  bearing. 

(b)  When  jack  arch  construction  is  employed,  the  jack 
arch  shall  be  reinforced  with  strips  of  not  less  than  No.  14  gauge 
woven  wire  mesh  not  less  than  2  in.  wide,  or  the  reinforce- 
ment may  consist  of  2  strips  of  not  less  than  No.  24  gauge 
perforated  metal  not  less  than  1  in.  wide.  The  reinforcement 
herein  prescribed  shall  be  continuous  and  shall  be  bedded  in  the 
mortar  joint  between  the  jack  arch  and  the  course  immediately 
above  extending  into  the  partition  construction  not  less  than 
30  in.  beyond  the  face  of  each  jamb. 

(Jack  arches  may  often  be  omitted  when  substantial  header  bucks  are 
used  but  this  is  a  case  for  decision  on  each  individual  job.  It  has  been 
suggested  that  mat  reinforcement  set  in  a  bed  of  mortar  on  paper  on  top 
of  the  wood  buck  and  the  tile  set  immediately  to  secure  a  good  bond 
would  prove  very  efficient.  With  an  additional  strip  of  reinforcement  in 
the  next  course,  this  method  would  probably  prove  satisfactory  for  open- 
ings up  to  6  ft.  wide  when  the  ceiling  height  is  not  unusual.  This  method 
is  merely  suggested  here  as  a  possible  alternate.) 

For  Openings  More  Than  4  ft.  Wide 

(a)  Metal— Openings  in  partitions  of  gypsum  tile  which 
are  more  than  4  ft.  in  width  shall  be  spanned  by  metal  lintels 
as  shown  on  the  drawings  or  as  specified  under  "Iron  Work. 
All  metal  lintels  shall  be  of  such  form  as  to  provide  a  distributed 
and  uniform  bearing  upon  the  supporting  construction  and  shall 
provide  a  bearing  upon  each  jamb  of  not  less  than  8  in.  (Unless 
supported  by  the  metal  buck.)

(b)  All  sand  for  base  coats  shall  be  clean  and  sharp,  free 
from  alkali,  salt  or  quick-sand  and  from  objectionable  amounts 
of  loam  or  clay  and  shall  be  graded  from  fine  to  coarse.  All 
sand  used  shall  meet  the  requirements  of  the  A.S.T.M.  specifi- 
cations for  plastering  sand. 

(If  anv  sand  float  finish  is  to  be  included,  the  sand  for  same  should 
be  specified  in  Par.  above.) 

Mixing 

(c)  All  plaster  shall  be  mixed  in  clean,  tight  boxes  or  in 
machine  mixers  specifically  designed  for  the  purpose  and  in  ac- 
cordance with  best  local  practice,  the  intent  of  the  specifications 
and  the  direction  of  the  maker  on  file  in  the  office  of  the  archi- 
tect. 

(Mixing  and  the  importance  of  clean  water  and  direction  of  the  maker 
are  of  vital  importance  to  good  work.) 

XII.    Proportions  and  Application 

(a)  The  base  coat  shall  consist  of  one  part  fibred  plaster, 
to  not  more  than  three  parts  by  weight  of  dry  sand. 

(b)  Surfaces  of  the  blocks  shall  be  wet  before  plastering 
but  not  so  wet  that  water  remains  standing  on  surface. 

(c)  The  plaster  shall  be  applied  to  a  thickness  of  V2  in. 
beyond  the  block  faces  in  two  operations.    A  thin  layer  shall 

GENERAL 

Regarding  the  Provisions  of  the 

Note:  The  above  Basic  Specification,  if  used  as  herein  given,  will 
provide  for  all  gypsum  tile  partition  and  furring  required  to  make  a  com- 
plete job,  also  includes  suggested  specifications  for  plastering  on  gypsum 
tile,  and  useful  data  pertaining  to  the  work  of  other  trades  that  contact 
with  gypsum  tile  work. 

(a)  The  contractor  for  the  gypsum  tile  work  should  be 
impressed  with  the  importance  of  reporting  any  unsatisfactory 
conditions  of  parts  to  receive  the  partitions  and  furring  as  he 
will  naturally  be  held  responsible  for  the  satisfactory  installation 
of  the  tile  ready  for  the  plastering.  See  Basic  Specification  I 
(a). 

(b)  Gypsum  Tile  partitions  may  be  started  on  finished 
floors  except  wood.  This  will  allow  the  partitions  to  be  moved 
at  any  time  without  requiring  repairs  to  the  floor.  Where  wood 
sleepers  and  floors  are  used,  the  partitions  should,  as  specified, 
be  started  on  the  masonry  construction.  See  Basic  Specification 
IV  (a). 

(c)  Due  to  the  rough  interior  surface  of  rubble  stone  walls, 
split  furring  is  not  recommended  for  such  locations.  The  use 
of  a  2  in.  solid  tile  built  like  a  free  standing  partition  inside 
the  stone  wall  will  be  found  very  satisfactory.  See  Basic  Speci- 
fication V  (a). 

(d)  Before  specifying  the  type  of  bucks  to  be  used,  due 


first  be  applied  with  strong  pressure  to  secure  a  good  bond  and 
shall  be  followed  immediately  with  a  second  layer  which  shall 
be  straightened  to  a  true,  even  plane  keeping  back  sufficiently 
from  the  grounds,  or  inside  the  in.  thickness,  to  allow  for 
finishing  coat.  The  surface  shall  be  broomed  or  otherwise 
roughened  to  receive  the  finishing  coat. 

Finishing  Coat' 

(a)  Smooth  White  Finish  shall  be  Prepared  Trowel  Finish 
mixed  to  the  proper  consistency  with  clean  water  only,  and 
applied  according  to  manufacturer's  directions. 

Note:  If  it  is  desired,  a  mixture  of  lime  putty  and  finishing  plaster 
may  be  used  for  the  smooth  white  finishing  coat  in  which  case  substitute 
the  following  paragraph: 

[(aO  Smooth  White  Finish  shall  be  one  measure  of  dry  Gauging  Plas- 
ter or  Gypsum  Finishing  Plaster  to  not  more  than  3  measures  of  Fin- 
ishing Lime  Putty  thoroughly  and  uniformly  mixed.  If  lump  lime  is 
used  it  must  be  perfectly  slaked.  Hydrated  Lime  should  be  soaked  for 
24  hours  before  using.] 

(b)  Finishing  coat  shall  be  applied  throughout  the  building 
except  behind  skirting  and  any  place  noted  below  and  shall 
be  smooth  white  finish  trowelled  to  a  dense,  true  surface. 

(Here  insert  any  exceptions) 

Note:  If  Sand  Float  Finish  is  desired  in  some  locations  instead  of 
Smooth  White,  add  the  following  paragraph  after,  at  end  of,  Par.  (b), 
noting  the  exceptions  and  giving  the  locations. 

[(bO  Sand  Float  Finish  shall  be  four  measures  Gypsum  Cement  Plaster 
unfibred,  of  a  brand  manufactured  by  Certain-teeu  Products  Cokpora- 
tion,  one  measure  of  perfectly  slaked  fresh  burned  plasterer's  lump 
lime  putty  or  standard  hydrated  finishing  lime  and  five  measures  of  clean 
sharp  sand.] 

Note:  This  specification  does  not  contemplate  that  colored,  textural 
or  special  effects  will  be  required  as  a  finish  in  any  portion  of  this  job. 
If  so,  insert  the  location  and  description  under  Finishing  Coat  in  appro- 
priate paragraphs. 

(c)  Finishing  coat  shall  be  applied  when  the  base  plaster 
is  set  firm  and  hard  and  not  until  thoroughly  dry.  The  surface 
of  the  base  coat  shall  be  sprinkled  with  water  before  the  finish 
coat  is  applied. 

(It  is  important  that  the  base  coat  of  any  plastering  job  shall  be  thor- 
oughly dry  before  the  finish  coat  is  applied.  There  are  some  who  recom- 
mend that  the  finish  coat  shall  be  applied  while  the  brown  coat  is  damp. 
This,  however,  will  permit  drying  cracks,  if  they  occur,  to  show  in  the 
finish  coat  which  will  be  obviated  if  the  brown  coat  is  permitted  to  dry 
first  and  then  moistened  to  receive  the  fiiiishing  coat.) 

(d)  All  surfaces  throughout  shall  be  applied  and  finished 
in  the  most  workmanlike  manner  and  shall  be  left  plumb  or 
level  and  true  and  even  planed,  free  from  trowel  marks,  blotches 
and  without  joinings  showing. 

(e)  All  finished  plastering  shall  be  protected  from  wind 
and  in  hot  dry  weather  shall  be  sprinkled  with  water  until  set. 
In  freezing  weather,  this  Contractor  shall  arrange  with  the 
General  Contractor  that  the  plastering  shall  be  protected  from 
frost  until  set  hard. 

(In  windy,  hot,  dry  weather  openings  should  be  screened  but  not 
closed.  In  all  clear  weather  after  plastering  has  set,  doors  and  windows 
should  be  kept  open  as  fully  as  possible.  Screens  are  not  necessary  after 
plaster  has  set.) 

NOTES 

Preceding  Basic  Specifications 

consideration  should  be  given  to  the  height  of  the  ceilings,  the 
size,  height  and  frequency  of  openings  and  character  and  weight 
of  doors,  if  any,  to  be  hung  at  such  openings.  Where  the  open- 
ings are  numerous  or  large,  or  the  doors  heavy  especially  as 
in  the  case  of  fire  doors,  the  bucks  should  extend  from  the 
floor  to  the  ceiling.  Metal  lath,  placed  as  specified  in  Sec- 
tion VIII  will  lessen  the  possibility  of  plaster  cracks  if  any 
strain  occurs  at  the  junction  of  bucks  in  any  partition.  See 
Basic  Specification  Section  VI. 

(e)  In  specifying  metal  bucks,  the  architect  should  bear 
in  mind  those  parts  of  the  completed  construction  which  come 
under  the  work  of  other  trades  and  specify  accordingly.  Steel 
channel  bucks  under  ''Iron  Work" ;  wood  bucks,  trim,  etc.  under 
"Carpenter  Work" ;  the  setting  of  the  gypsum  tile  under  "Lath- 
ing and  Plastering."    See  Basic  Specifications  Section  VI. 

(f)  All  nailing  strips  and  plaster  grounds  should  be  speci- 
fied under  "Carpenter  Work."  If  patented  grounds  or  nailing 
blocks  are  desired,  so  specify.  Heavy  fixtures  such  as  toilets, 
tanks,  blackboards,  etc.,  should  be  bolted  through  the  block  or 
nailed  to  nailing  bucks  not  less  than  W2  in.  thick  of  the  char- 
acter specified  for  other  trim,  spaced  not  to  exceed  15  in.  See 
Basic  Specifications  Section  VII.

Special  Advantages  of  Gypsteel  Gypsum 
Partition  Tile 

The  high  quality  of  Gypsteel  Gypsum  Par- 
tition Tile  is  due  to  the  combination  of  purity 
of  the  gypsum  with  a  distinctive  process  of 
control  that  insures  uniformity  in  the  finished 
product. 

The  great  purity  of  gypsum  manufactured 
by  the  Gypsteel  Process  at  our  Linden  plant 
insures  a  stronger  and  tougher  block,  with  a 
minimum  waste  from  chipping  and  breakage. 

Another  factor  tending  to  minimize  break- 
age and  waste  is  our  express  trucking 
service  within  and  adjacent  to  the  New 
York  Metropolitan  area,  whereby  block 
is  delivered  from  our  mill  direct  to  the 
job  within  a  few  hours  by  truck.  This 
truckload  delivery  assures  clean,  strong 
block  free  from  breakage  and  waste. 

The  machinery  by  which  Gypsteel  i 
Block  is  made  at  our  Linden  plant  in- 
sures absolute  accuracy  and  produces 
blocks  true  to  size,  accurately  propor- 
tioned, and  of  uniform  weight,  strength 
and  density. 

General  Advantages  of  Gypsum 
Partition  Tile 

(1)  Fireproof — Gypsum  Partition  Tile  are 
approved  for  first  class  fireproof  construc- 
tion by  the  Building  Departments  of  all 
cities  and  have  the  highest  rating  in  all  Insur- 
ance Rating  Bureaus. 


GYPSTEEL  GYPSUM  PARTITION  TILE 


(2)  Savings  in  Labor— Gypsteel  Partition  Tile  are 
stronger  than  ordinary  tile.  Breakage  is  reduced  to 
an  absolute  minimum  with  resulting  savings  in  material 
and  labor.  Additional  savings  are  achieved  because  of 
their  accuracy  in  size  and  uniformity  in  composition, 
strength  and  weight. 

(3)  Heat  Insulation— The  great  superiority  of  gyp- 
sum partition  tile  in  preventing  the  transmission  of 
heat  has  been  frequently  demonstrated  by  numerous 
tests  under  many  conditions.  Distinctly  high  quahties 
of  thermal  protection  for  embedded  steel  are  an  out- 
standing characteristic  of  gypsum  partition  tile.  Re- 
p()rts  of  actual  tests  are  available  on  request. 

(4)  Sound  Insulation— Tests  made  many  times, 
especially  at  the  New  England  Conservatory  of  Music, 
have  demonstrated  the  superior  value  of  gypsum  par- 
tition tile  in  retarding  conduction  of  sound  from  one 
room  to  another. 

(5)  Light  Weight— Gypsum  Partition  Tile  are  so 
light  in  weight  that  their  use  effects  a  large  reduction 
in  the  total  dead-load,  and  this  permits  of  correspond- 
ing savings  in  the  steel  framework  and  foundations. 

(6)  Savings  in  Plaster— Gypsteel  Gypsum  Partition 
Tile  are  strong,  they  chip  and  break  very  little,  mean- 
ing there  is  less  mortar  used,  and  less  pointing-up  to  be 
done.  Their  uniformity  of  size  and  proportions  assure 
true  plaster  base  and  effect  a  substantial  saving  in  the 
j)lastering.  .  . 

(7)  Perfect  Plaster  Base— Gypsteel  Partition  Tile 
are  made  of  gypsum,  with  a  very  small  percentage  of 

wood  planer  chips,  and  laid  up  in  gypsum  mortar. 
The  chemical  bond  established  between  the  gypsum 
tile,  and  the  gypsum  in  both  the  mortar  and  plas- 
tering, produces  a  wall  of  great  strength  and 
rigidity.  . 

(8)  Easily  Altered— Gypsum  Partition  Tile  cuts 
with  a  saw,  permitting  of  alterations  being  made 
in  partitions  with  a  minimum  of  expense  and 
annoyance. 

Sizes 

All  Gypsteel  Partition  Tile  are  12x30  ins. 
They  are  furnished  in  standard  thicknesses  2,  3 
and  4  ins.  solid  and  3,  4,  5  and  6  ins.  hollow.

The  Pioneer  of  the  Industry 

The  Carney  Cement  Com- 
pany has  manufactured  cement 
since    —  and  originated 
masonry  cement  as  it  is  known 

today.  Carney  is  unlike  other  cements — it  is  made 
from  a  deposit  of  natural  cement  rock  particularly 
adapted  to  the  manufacture  of  highly  plastic,  truly 
hydraulic  masonry  cement.  This  rock  contains  the  cor- 
rect proportion  of  lime  and  clay  so  that  when  burned 
and  ground  the  resulting  cement  produces  a  lasting  bond 
under  all  conditions  of  use — either  above  or  below 
ground  no  further  addition  of  lime  is  needed  on  the  job. 
The  only  materials  added  to  Carney  Cement  in  manu- 
facturing are  those  that  give  the  cement  its  water- 
tightness  and  its  resistance  to  efflorescence.  The  Carney 
Cement  Company  maintains  elaborately  equipped,  effi- 
ciently manned  chemical  laboratories  for  the  purpose  of 
controlling  constant  uniformity  of  the  product. 

A  Perfectly  Balanced  Mortar 

Possessing  all  the  desirable  properties  in  rnasonry 
cement  which  embody  ample  strength,  workability,  and 
high  water  retaining  capacity. 

High,  Water  Retaining  Capacity 

The  degree  of  plasticity  or  workability  of  a  mortar 
is  directly  related  to  the  water  retaining  capacity  of  the 
cement.  Carney  Cement  has  an  extremely  high,  water 
retaining  capacity.  This  attribute  also  assures  a  better 
bedding  of  the  brick  in  the  mortar — a  feature  which  is 
particularly  attractive  where  porous,  highly  absorbent 
brick  is  used. 

Simple  Mix 

Correct  mortar  consistency  is  assured  where  Carney 
Cement  is  used.  Mixing  errors  are  avoided  because  of 
the  simplicity  of  mixing.  One  part  of  Carney  Cement 
mixed  with  three  parts  sand  and  water  produces  a  per- 
fect mortar.  No  other  materials  are  required. 

Tight,  Efflorescence  Resisting  Joints 

As  stated  above,  the  high  water  retaining  capacity  of 
Carney  Cement  assures  better  bedding  of  the  brick  in 
the  mortar.  This  assures  a  tightly  knitted  wall.  As  a 
further  precaution  against  water  penetration  through 
joints,  calcium  stearate,  which  is  water  repellent,  is 
added  to  Carney  Cement  when  manufactured.  Efflores- 
cence due  to  soluble  salts  which  may  be  present  in  the 
sand  or  water  is  prevented  by  the  calcium  stearate  com- 
ponent of  Carney  Cement. 

Non-fading  and  Frost  Resistant 

The  moisture  repelling  character  of  Carney  Cement 
assures  permanent  resistance  to  fading  of  colored  mor- 
tars. This  feature  also  prevents  the  disintegration  of 
the  joints  resulting  from  frost  action.  Carney-laid  joints 
resist  moisture  absorption  and  consequently  are  immune 
to  frost  action. 


(^or  ^rick  and  Tile  Mortar 


Quantity  Requirements 

Carney  Cement  is  packed  in 
cloth  or  paper  sacks — one  cubic 
foot  each — four  sacks  to  the 
barrel.  One  barrel,  mixed  with 
three  parts  sand,  will  lay  up  800  to    brick,  depend- 
ing upon  the  thickness  of  the  mortar  joint.  Further- 
more, waste  from  dropping  and  wall  cleaning  is  largely 
eliminated  where  Carney  mortar  is  used,  due  to  its 
excellent  plasticity. 


Past  Records  Have  Earned  for  Carney  Cement  Its  Prominent  Position 
in  the  Field  of  Masonry 

The  above  example  is  one  among  many  which  explains  the  favorable 
position  which  Carnev  Cement  enjoys.  Over  twenty  years  ago,  Carney 
Cement  was  approved  by  (iraham,  Anderson,  Probst  and  White  for  the 
masonry  on  the  Field  Museum,  Chicago.  Seventy-five  carloads  of  Carney 
were  required  for  the  project.  Last  year,  the  same  architects  who  have 
approved  the  use  of  Carney  on  many  subsequent  projects,  used  Carney 
on  the  largest  post  office  in  the  world  at  Chicago.  Performance  is  the 
greatest  salesman  of  Carney  Cement.  Carney  possesses  an  unsurpassed 
record  for  excellence  of  service  that  extends  over  a  period  of  50  years. 
A  few  recent  Carney  jobs  are  listed  below.

Product 

Hy-Test  Masonry  Cement,  a  finely 
ground  waterproofed  plastic  smooth-work- 
ing cement  for  laying  brick,  stone,  tile,  terra 
cotta  and  other  masonry  units,  combining 
the  smoothness  in  lime  and  the  strength  in  Portland 
cement. 

Composition 

Hy-Test  Masonry  Cement  is  an  intimate  mixture  of 
Portland  cement  and  hydraulic  lime,  both  meeting 
A.S.T.M.  requirements,  into  which  is  ground  at  the  mill 
a  recognized  waterproofing  compound  which  not  only 
waterproofs  but  tends  to  reduce  shrinkage  of  the  mortar 
and  increases  bonding  efficiency  between  the  mortar  and 
brick. 

How  It  Is  Used 

The  proper  proportion  is  one  part  Hy-Test  with  three 
parts  clean  graded  sand,  by  volume,  with  sufficient  water 
added  to  bring  to  proper  consistency.  No  admixtures 
of  any  kind  necessary  to  produce  a  plastic  mortar. 

Advantages 

The  main  function  of  any  mortar  is  to  efficiently  and 
durably  bond  the  brick  together  in  order  to  keep  water 
from  penetrating  through  the  joint. 

Instead  of  making  our  own  claims  as  to  the  advan- 
tages secured  with  Hy-Test  cement,  send  5^  to  the 
Superintendent  of  Documents,  Washington,  D.  C,  for 
a  copy  of  U.  S.  Research  Paper  No.  683  which  will 
give  you  unbiased  facts  of  the  results  produced  with 
50  different  kinds  of  mortars  tested  at  the  National 
Bureau  of  Standards  in  a  three  year  investigation  sup- 
ported by  the  National  Lime  Association,  Portland 
Cement  Association,  American  Face  Brick  Association, 
and  a  group  of  Masonry  cement  manufacturers, — or 
write  to  the  American  Society  for  Testing  Materials 
for  copy  of  "Permeability  Tests  of  Eight  Inch  Brick 
Walls,"  by  L.  A.  Palmer,  describing  the  amount  of 
water  passing  through  240  eight-inch  brick  walls  laid 
with  different  kinds  of  mortars. 

Hy-Test  Masonry  Cement  was  used  in  the  tests  con- 
ducted at  the  Bureau  of  Standards  and  is  described  in 
the  above  mentioned  papers  as  Mortar  No.  B  VI. 

The  investigation  definitely  established  that  most 
water  penetrates  a  wall  "between  the  mortar  and  the 
brick"  and  that  therefore  a  mortar  must  have  (a)  bond- 
ing efficiency,  (b)  flexibility,  (c)  low  shrinkage  (volume 
change)  subsequent  to  hardening,  (d)  must  be  able  to 
maintain  the  bond  under  weather  exposure  of  freezing 
and  thawing,  (e)  high  water  retaining  capacity. 

(a)  Bonding  Efficiency — The  American  Society  for 
Testing  Materials  Reprint  containing  the  article  "Per- 
meability Tests  of  8-In.  Brick  Wallettes,"  by  L.  A.

having  produced  the  greatest  extent  of  ad- 
hesion with  a  diversified  range  of  brick, 
because  the  figures  definitely  show  that  the 
average  penetration  of  water  through  a 
series  of  brick  walls  laid  with  Mortar 
No.  B  VI  was  less  than  with  any  other  type  of  mortar. 

(b)  Flexibility — U.  S.  Research  Paper  No.  683,  page 
641  rates  Mortar  No.  B  VI  as  one  of  the  mortars  that 
gave  the  most  concordant  results  on  flexibility,  or 
stretching  properties. 

(c)  Low  Shrinkage — U.  S.  Research  Paper  No.  683, 
page  636  rates  Mortar  No.  B  VI  among  those  mortars 
having  low  volume  change  (low  shrinkage)  subsequent 
to  hardening. 

(d)  Bond  Durability — U.  S.  Research  Paper  No. 
683,  page  638  rates  Mortar  No.  B  VI  as  having  the 
highest  possible  record  in  durability  of  bond  after  freez- 
ing and  thawing  for  a  period  of  one  year. 

(e)  Water  Retaining  Capacity — U.  S.  Research 
Paper  No.  683,  page  641  rates  Mortar  No.  B  VI  as 
one  of  the  mortars  having  high  water  retaining  capacity 
or  the  power  to  resist  undue  suction  by  highly  porous 
brick. 

Strength 

The  highest  stress  on  brickwork  permitted  by  any 
Building  Code  in  America  is  250  lbs.  per  square  inch  or 
18  tons  per  square  foot  at  28  days.  Hy-Test  mortar 
will  withstand  6  times  this  load  in  the  same  period  when 
cured  under  normal  conditions.  It  has  been  approved  by 
the  Building  Departments  of  every  important  city  in  the 
United  States. 

Specification 

Mortar — ''All  mortar  for  interior  and  exterior  brick- 
work below  and  above  grade,  for  rubble  stone,  interior 
partitions  and  other  masonry  units  shall  be  composed  of 
Hy-Test  Waterproofed  Masonry  Cement  (B  VI  grade) 
and  clean  graded  sand,  with  enough  water  to  bring  to 
proper  consistency.  Three  cubic  feet  of  sand  shall  be 
added  to  each  bag  of  Hy-Test  cement.  If  mortar  is 
mixed  by  hand  the  cement  and  sand  shall  first  be  thor- 
oughly mixed  dry  before  the  water  is  added. 

Waterproofing  must  be  ground  into  the  cement  at 
the  mill.  It  is  of  utmost  importance  to  thoroughly  wet 
all  brick  that  absorb  water  rapidly.  In  cold  weather 
proper  precautions  shall  be  taken  to  protect  the  green 
work  from  freezing."

MEDUSA  WHITE  PORTLAND  CEMENT 

Plain  and  Waterproofed 


Medusa  Plain  White  Portland  Cement 

Medusa  Portland  Cement  Company  was  the  first  manufac- 
turer to  produce  and  place  on  the  market  for  commercial  pur- 
poses a  true  white  portland  cement.  The  plant  to  produce  this 
product  was  built  in    and  the  material  has  been  sold  and 
shipped  continuously  to  all  parts  of  the  world  since  that  time. 

Quality — Medusa  White  Portland  Cement  is  a  true  port- 
land  cement  which  passes  the  requirements  for  portland  cement 
of  the  American  Society  for  Testing  Materials.  It  differs  from 
the  gray  portland  cement  only  in  that  it  is  pure  white  and  non- 
staining.   All  other  qualities  are  similar. 

Where  to  Use — It  produces  a  concrete  and  mortar  of  the 
same  great  strength  as  regular  gray  portland  cement  and  should 
be  used  in  place  of  gray  cement  when  pure  white,  or  tinted 
effects,  are  desired.  Many  beautiful  colored  effects  can  be  se- 
cured through  the  use  of  colored  aggregates  or  pure  mineral 
colors. 

Mortar  Specifications — For  a  non-staining  mortar  for  the 
setting  and  pargeting  of  cut  stone,  we  recommend: 

1  part  Medusa  White  Portland  Cement. 

3  parts   clean    sand,    crushed   white   marble    or   screened  limestone 
chips,  graded  so  that  all  coarse  particles  will  pass  a  %-»n.  screen 
with  no  more  than  15%  pass- 
ing a  No.  60  screen. 

With  every  bag  of  Medusa 
White  Portland  Cement  use 
10  lbs.  of  hydrated  lime  or  one- 
fifth  part  by  volume  of  the  ce- 
ment. Properly  slaked  and  aged 
lime  putty  may  be  used  instead 
of  hydrated  lime. 

Swimming  Pools — This 
product  is  used  for  plaster  coat- 
ing the  inside  of  concrete  swim- 
ming pools  on  the  sidewalls 
and  floors.  Also  in  pouring  the 
entire  walls  of  the  tank.  Com-

Cast  Stone— Medusa  White  Portland  Cement  (plain  or 
waterproofed)  should  be  used  for  facing  of  cast  stone.  Complete 
specifications  can  be  secured  from  the  Cast  Stone  Institute, 
Chicago,  111. 

Other  Uses — Architects  and  Engineers  are  finding  new  uses 
for  this  material.  A  few  of  them  are  interior  plastering;  curbs; 
white  concrete  for  buildings;  sidewalks;  steps;  art  marble;  floor 
tile;  runways  for  airports,  etc. 

Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement 

This  is  our  regular  white  portland  cement  with  which  Medusa 
Waterproofing  Powder  is  mechanically  ground  during  manufac- 
ture, insuring  a  complete  dispersion  of  the  powder  and  obtaining 
its  maximum  waterproofing  value.  The  waterproofed  cement 
passes  all  requirements  for  portland  cement  and  those  of  the 
American  Society  for  Testing  Materials.  W^e  recommend  its 
use  for  all  work  requiring  white  portland  cement. 

The  use  of  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement 
reduces  absorption  and  penetration  of  water  to  a  negligible 
degree.  It  is  also  very  effective  in  reducing  volume  change 
and  eliminating  crazing  and  hair- 
checking.  In  mortar  it  will  prevent 
the  staining  elements  in  other  ma- 
sonry material  from  passing  into  the 
stone. 

The  workability  is  enhanced  by  the 
waterproofing  content.

MEDUSA  WATERPROOFING  FOR  CONCRETE  AND  MORTAR 
Powder  and  Concentrated  Paste 

the  process  of  manufacture,  insuring  a  complete  dis- 
persion and  so  obtain  the  maximum  waterproofing  value. 

The  use  of  Medusa  Waterproofed  Cements  elimi- 
nates the  use  of  admixtures  on  the  job  and  the  expense 
of  supervision  to  insure  that  the  correct  amount  of 
waterproofing  has  been  added.  Medusa  Waterproofed 
Cements  have  proved  successful  for  30  years. 


Description 

All  concrete  and  mortar  below  grade  or  exposed  to 
the  elements  should  be  waterproofed  to  give  insurance 
against  wet  and  damp  walls  and  floors,  to  retard  dis- 
integration due  to  the  freezing  and  thawing  of  moisture 
absorbed — and  ground  acids. 

Authorities  on  waterproofing  agree  that  the  most 
effective  way  to  prevent  water  absorption  in  concrete 
and  mortar  is  to  incorporate  a  water  repellent  material 
which  breaks  down  capillary  attraction  on  the  surface. 
This  method  is  most  economical  and  assures  the  user 
that  the  entire  mass  of  concrete  or  mortar  is  thoroughly 
and  permanently  waterproofed. 

Medusa  Waterproofing  (Powder  or  Paste)  is  the 
original  water  repellent  waterproofing  for  concrete  and 
mortar.  It  has  been  used  for  more  than  30  years  under 
severe  water  conditions  and  always  gives  satisfaction. 
It  contains  a  large  percentage  of  stearate.  Stearate  is 
recognized  as  the  best  waterproofing  agent  known. 

Directions  for  Use 

Powder:  Use  2  lbs.  of  Medusa  Waterproofing 
Powder  to  each  sack  of  portland  cement  used.  Medusa 
Waterproofing  Powder  is  added  dry  to  the  cement 
and  aggregate.  Mix  dry  with  cement  alone  where  hand 
mixing  is  employed. 

Concentrated  Paste:  One  gallon  of  Medusa  Con- 
centrated Paste  weighs  eight  (8)  pounds — enough  to 
properly  waterproof  thirteen  (13)  sacks  of  cement.  We 
recommend  one  gallon  (8  lbs.)  of  Concentrated  Paste 
be  dissolved  in  12  gallons  of  water  at  60°  F.  or  above. 
Add  one  gallon  of  this  waterproofing  paste  solution  for 
each  sack  of  cement  when  mixing  the  concrete  or  mortar. 

The  same  waterproofing  results  are  obtained  with 
either  Powder  or  Paste. 

The  use  of  Medusa  Waterproofing  is  recommended 
only  in  territories  where  Medusa  Waterproofed  Gray 
Portland  Cement  or  Medusa  Waterproofed  White 
Portland  Cement  is  not  obtainable.  Medusa  Water- 
proofed Cements — Gray  and  White — are  our  regular 
Portland  cements  with  which  the  correct  amount  of 
Medusa  Waterproofing  is  mechanically  ground  during 


Specific  Uses 

Medusa  Waterproofing  should  be  used  in  all  con- 
crete and  mortar  below  grade ;  when  exposed  to  the 
elements  or  moisture.    A  few  specific  uses  are : 


Mortar 

Swimming  Pools 
Basement  Walls 
Basement  Floors 
Retaining  Walls 
Plaster  Coats 


Cast  Stone 
Concrete  Products 
Shower  Baths 
Terrazzo 
Stucco 

Elevator  Pits 


Storage  Silos 
Tunnels 
Subways 
Dairy  Barns 
Dairy  Plants 
Burial  Vaults 


Waterproofed  Mortar 

The  use  of  Medusa  Waterproofing  in  portland 
cement  mortar  will  tend  to  prevent  the  subsequent  dis- 
coloration and  unsightly  appearance  of  brickwork 
caused  by  efflorescence  which  may  be  attributed  to  the 
mortar. 

The  use  of  Me.dusa  Waterproofed  Mortar  prevents 
the  absorption  of  moisture  through  the  joints.  Unless 
the  mortar  is  waterproofed,  it  is  possible  that  such  a 
quantity  of  water  will  be  absorbed  as  to  cause  consid- 
erable inconvenience  and  damage. 

Packages 

Medusa  Waterproofing  Powder  Is  shipped  in  40- 
Ib.  paper-lined  cloth  bags.  Medusa  Concentrated 
Waterproofing  Paste  is  shipped  in  8-lb.  (1-gal.) 
cans;  40-lb.  (5-gal.)  cans  and  225  and  400-lb.  steel 
drums.

MEDUSA-LITE  FOR  INTERIOR  WALLS 
Washable,  Durable,  Quick  Drying,  Economical,  One  Coat 


Description 

Medusa-Lite  is  a  super  llat  wall  finish  developed  to 
meet  the  exacting  requirements  for  a  truly  beautiful, 
economical,  durable  flat  finish  paint. 

This  quick  drying  paint  is  used  on  walls,  ceilings, 
and  other  interior  surfaces  of  concrete,  brick,  tile,  stone, 
plaster,  insulating  board,  wood,  metal,  canvas,  wall 
board,  etc.  Because  of  its  fast  drying  qualities  the  walls 
and  ceilings  of  homes  can  be  painted  in  the  morning 
and  will  be  dry  so  that  the  house  can  be  set  in  order 
in  the  evening.  Medusa-Lite  is  inexpensive,  easy  to 
apply  and  can  be  used  on  so  many  different  surfaces 
it  has  a  tremendous  advantage  for  use  in  painting  ware- 
houses, factories,  stores  and  dairies. 

How  Medusa-Lite  Is  Used 

Medusa-Lite  comes  in  paste  form  and  requires  only 
water  as  a  thinner.  This  is  why  it  can  be  sprayed  with 
ordinary  equipment  or  applied  with  a  brush.  Because 


of  its  unusual  easy  working  qualities,  Medusa-Lite  is 
much  less  expensive  in  application.  One  coat  is  usu- 
ally sufficient  for  most  surfaces.  No  sizing  or  previ- 
ous treatment  is  necessary  before  painting  walls, 
whether  old  or  new,  which  is  a  tremendous  saving. 
The  paint  itself  is  odorless. 

Color 

Medusa-Lite  is  made  in  white  and  seven  popular 

pastel  shades.    These  colors  are  intermixable  and  can 

be  tinted  with  either  dry  colors  or  colors  in  oil.  The 

colors  themselves  are  permanent,  do  not  turn  yellow, 

and  are  limeproof.    They  have  a  high  light  reflective 

value — 90%  and  greater.    Colors  do  not  change  under 

the  influence  of  light,  heat,  or  fumes  which  affect  other 

coatings.  ^ 

^  Coverage 

Most  surfaces  require  only  one  coat.  The  approxi- 
mate covering  range  is  from  300  to  700  ft.  per  gallon 
depending  on  the  type  of  surface  to  be  painted.

MEDUSA  PORTLAND  CEMENT  COMPANY 

MEDUSA  STONESET  CEMENT 

A  Non-staining,  Waterproofed,  Mortar  Cement 
What  It  Is 


Medusa  Stoneset  Cement  is  a  non-staining  mortar  cement 
which  has  been  waterproofed  by  the  addition  of  the  proper 
amount  of  Medusa  Waterproofing  mechanically  ground  in  at 
the  mill  during  the  process  of  manufacture. 

It  is  manufactured  from  the  same  raw  materials  as  Medusa 
Non-staining  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement.  Ihese 
raw  materials  are  free  from  the  elements  which  cause  staining, 
and  waterproofness  is  assured. 

Medusa  Stoneset  Cement  has  the  smooth  workability  and 
great  plasticity  which  is  so  necessary  in  stone  setting  mortar. 

Where  to  Use 

Medusa  Stoneset  Cement  is  to  be  used  in  mortar  for  setting, 
pargeting,  and  pointing  of  cut  stone,  and  for  laying  up  tace 
brick.  Its  low  cost  also  permits  its  use  for  mortar  in  the  backup 
wall  as  well  as  for  exterior  wall.  ,         „  ,  , 

The  use  of  one  mortar  throughout  the  wall  has  many  ad- 
vantages from  the  standpoint  of  economy  and  convenience,  ihe 
use  of  a  non-staining,  waterproofed  mortar  throughout  the  wall 
provides  additional  assurance  against  staining  and  efflorescence. 

We  do  not  recommend  Medusa  Stoneset  Cement  for  any 
other  use  except  masonry  mortar.  Medusa  Portland  Cements, 
white  and  gray  (plain  or  waterproofed),  should  be  used  tor 
other  purposes.  ^  ,     .  iir 

Because  of  its  white  color  and  great  plasticity  Medusa 
Stoneset  Cement  is  ideal  for  laying  up  face  brick.  It  can  be 
easily  tinted  to  the  desired  shade. 

Non-staining 

A  non-staining  cement  means  a  cement  that  will  not  stain 
the  stone  with  which  it  comes  in  contact.  Long  and  exhaustive 
tests  have  proved  that  Medusa  Stoneset  Cement  is  non-stain- 
ing. 

Waterproofed 

Authorities  agree  that  it  is  absolutely  necessary  that  all  non- 
staining  mortars  be  waterproofed  to  prevent  the  staining  ele- 
ments in  other  materials  in  backup  masonry  from  passing  into 
the  stone. 


The  fact  that  Medusa  Waterproofing  is  mechanically  ground 
into  Medusa  Stoneset  Cement  during  the  process  of  manufac- 
ture is  assurance  that  the  cement  is  absolutely  waterprooted. 

The  Medusa  Process  of  mechanically  grinding  in  Medusa 
Waterproofing  in  the  manufacture  of  Medusa  Waterproofed 
Cements,  white  and  gray,  has  been  successful  for  25  years. 

Workability 

]Medusa  Stoneset  Cement  produces  a  mortar  of  great  work- 
ability and  plasticity.  Stone  setters  will  find  the  workability 
and  plasticity  of  Medusa  Stoneset  Cement  to  be  of  par- 
ticular advantage  in  the  placing  of  stone.  Its  easy  spreading 
qualities  make  it  especially  adaptable  for  pargeting  and  for 
use  in  mortar  for  the  backup  wall. 

Color 

The  color  of  Medusa  Stoneset  Cement  is  white,  which 
harmonizes  well  with  all  shades  of  limestone,  granite,  marble, 
etc. 

Specifications  for  Mixing 

Medusa  Stoneset  Cement  is  to  be  mixed  in  approximate 
proportions  of  1  part  of  Medusa  Stoneset  Cement  to  3  parts 
of  sand,  by  volume.  The  sand  should  be  well  graded,  clean, 
and  free  from  organic  matter.  To  facilitate  hand  mixing,  the 
sand  should  be  dampened  before  Medusa  Stoneset  Cement  is 
added. 

No  Admixtures  Are  Necessary 

When  using  Medusa  Stoneset  Cement  no  admixtures  are 
necessary  to  secure  waterproofness  or  plasticity.  This  fact  is 
extremely  important  to  the  architect,  contractor  and  owner. 

The  contractor  is  saved  the  expense  and  labor  of  adding 
admixtures  and  the  architect  is  assured  that  the  proper  amount 
of  waterproofing  has  been  added. 

Setting  Time 

The  setting  time  of  Medusa  Stoneset  Cement  is  approxi- 
mately :  .     ,    -  -  t  r      •  X 
Initial— Z  hours  40  minutes.   Final— 7  hours  15  minutes.

Swimming  Pools 

Medusa  Portland  Cement  Paint  has  been  extensively  used 
for  swimming  pools  and  the  success  of  this  work  has  been 
demonstrated  by  the  thousands  of  satisfied  customers.  Being 
immune  to  the  effect  of  water  containing  the  proper  amount 
of  chemicals  used  to  keep  the  pool  sanitary,  presenting  a 
surface  readily  cleaned  by  scrubbing,  containing  no  adulterant 
that  could  become  the  breeding  place  for  germs,  this  paint  is 
a  most  satisfactory  product  for  use  in  swimming  pools. 


Covering  Capacity 

I'or  ordinary  smooth  masonry  surfaces  the  covering  capacity 
will  range  from  200  to  350  sq.  ft.  per  10  lbs.  of  paint  for 
one  coat.  There  are  exceptionally  rough  and  extremely  porous 
surfaces  such  as  cinder  and  Haydite  blocks  where  the  above 
coverage  will  not  apply. 

Mixing  and  Application 

To  mix  the  paint  measure  out  the  amount  of  water  required 
and  pour  the  paint  into  the  water  slowly,  stirring  well  to 
prevent  forming  of  lumps. 

The  paint  should  be  applied  within  two  hours  after  being 
mixed. 

Immediately  after  applying  the  paint,  the  brushes  should  be 
thoroughly  washed  with  clean  water  and  hung  up  to  drain 
and  dry. 

First  Coat — Use  5  quarts  of  water  to  10  lbs.  of  paint.  Add 
the  paint  slowly  while  stirring  the  water.  This  will  prevent 
the  forming  of  lumps. 

Second  Coat — Same  as  above  except  that  4  quarts  of  water 
should  be  used  with  10  lbs.  of  paint.  Be  sure  to  zuct  the  first 
coat  before  applying  the  second. 

A  thinner  paint  is  recommended  for  the  first  coat  so  that 
it  can  work  its  way  into  the  cracks  and  surface  pores  and  seal 
them,  preparing  a  good  base  for  the  second  coat. 

The  second  coat  can  be  applied  the  day  following  the 
application  of  the  first  coat. 

Each  coat  should  be  lightly  sprayed  as  soon  as  it  has 
hardened  sufficiently  so  as  not  to  damage  the  paint.

MEDUSA  FLOOR  COATING 

For  Concrete  Basement  and  Industrial  Floors 


Description 

Medusa  Floor  Coating  is  a  product  composed  principally 
of  rubber  hydrocarbon  derived  from  the  finest  crepe  rubber, 
and  this  product  is  fully  covered  by  patents.  The  physical 
qualities  of  this  material  partake  of  those  of  rubber,  but 
provide  many  unique  advantages  that  must  not  be  grouped 
nor  confused  with  so-called  "rubber  paints." 

Its  alkali  resistance  is  not  affected  by  the  lime  usually 
present  in  concrete  floors.  The  extreme  hardness  of  Medusa 
Floor  Coating  withstands  abrasive  conditions.  This  protective 
coating  affords  stability  to  the  concrete. 

Colors 

Medusa  Floor  Coating  is  furnished  in  eight  colors : 
White  Battleship  Gray  Brown  Green 


Light  Gray 


Chinese  Red 


Red 


Black 


Packages 

Shipped  in  quarts,  gallons,  5  gallons  and  55  gallon  drums. 

Covering  Capacity 

On  the  average  smoothly  trowelled  floor,  the  coverage  is 
about  600  sq.  ft.  per  gallon,  one  coat. 


Mixing  and  Application 

Medusa  Floor  Coating  should  be  thoroughly  stirred  before 
applying.  Dilute  the  first  coat  with  35%  turpentine,  or  mineral 
spirits. 

AIedusa  Floor  Coating  resists  moisture  but  must  have  a  dry 
surface  for  application.  The  floor  should  be  clean;  free  from 
dirt,  oil,  grease,  etc.  To  assure  this  use  a  muriatic  acid  wash 
of  10%  solution. 

Around  laundry  tubs,  we  suggest  the  floor  be  cleaned  with 
a  solution  of  two  pounds  trisodmm  phosphate  to  one  gallon  of 
hot  water.  When  either  of  the  above  solutions  are  used,  let 
stand  for  15  minutes;  then  wash  off  with  clean  water,  let  the 
surface  dry  before  applying  coating. 

Medusa  Floor  Coating  dries  to  touch  in  one  hour  under 
favorable  conditions  so  that  two  or  three  coats  may  be 
successively  applied.  (Be  sure  that  one  coat  is  dry  before 
application  of  the  next  coat.)  Under  ideal  conditions  the  floor 
will  be  ready  for  normal  service  within  24  hours;  for  severe 
use  the  coating  should  be  allowed  to  dry  for  2  or  3  days. 

The  first  coat  should  be  well  brushed  into  the  surface,  using 
a  short  bristle  brush.  The  second  coat  should  be  brushed  out 
to  give  even  spread  and  good  covering  capacity.  On  a  surface 
where  there  is  considerable  wear,  we  suggest  a  third  coat. 
This  extra  coat  will  more  than  repay  you  for  the  additional 
coating  used  and  the  time  used  to  apply  it.

ROCKLAND-ROCKPORT  LIME  CO-,  INC- 

Rockland  Waterproof  Lime  for  Leakless  Masonry 
ROCKLAND,  MAINE 

GENERAL  SALES  OFFICE— 50  East  42nd  Street,  NEW  YORK,  N.  Y. 


Description 

Rockland  Waterproof  Lime  is  a  high-grade  pul- 
verized quicklime  containing  active  waterproofing 
ingredients  added  at  the  manufacturing  plant  by 
special  process  (patented).  When  slaked  with  water 
it  produces  a  lime  putty  which  is  remarkably  fat  and 
plastic.  Masonry  mortar  mixed  one  part  Rockland 
Waterproof  Lime  putty,  one  part  portland  cement  and  six  parts 
sand  (or  richer  in  lime  content)  is  permanently  non  absorptive 
and  water  repellent.  Rockland  Waterproof  Lime  is  packed  in 
moistureproof,  Cellophane  lined,  80-lb.  paper  bags,  25  bags  to 
the  ton. 

Advantages  of  Rockland  Waterproof  Lime 

Mortar  made  with  Rockland  Waterproof  Lime  has  all  the 
advantages  of  regular  lime  mortar,  has  increased  workability 
before  set,  and  is  permanently  waterproof,  after  set,  in  the 
finished  wall. 

Because  the  waterproofing  elements  are  incorporated  in  the  lime 
at  the  mill,  there  is  no  necessity  for  special  supervision  by  the 
architect.  Therefore  the  effectiveness  of  a  water  repellent  mor- 
tar of  this  kind  is  not  dependent  on  the  accuracy  of  a  laborer. 

Comprehensive  laboratory  tests  for  water  permeability  prove 
that  mortar  made  with  Rockland  Waterproof  Lime  is  superior 
to  mortar  waterproofed  by  the  addition  of  integral  water- 
proofing compounds.  Testing  laboratory  data  will  be  sent  on 
request. 

While  extreme  conditions  of  leaking  masonry  are  usually  due 
to  actual  cracks  in  the  mortar  and  bond  failures  which  leave 
openings  between  the  mortar  and  the  adjoining  surfaces,  even 
a  mortar  without  cracks  and  perfectly  bonded  to  adjoining 
surfaces  frequently  absorbs  considerable  water  through  capil- 
lary pores  which  inevitably  occur  in  almost  any  mortar. 

Since  the  mortar  comprises  up  to  25  per  cent  of  a  brick  wall 
and  since  the  mortar  may  be  much  more  absorbent  than  the 
surrounding  brick,  it  is  possible  that  more  than  50  per  cent  of 
the  total  water  absorbed  by  the  wall  enters  by  absorption 
through  the  mortar  joints  which  act  as  feeders  to  the  adjoining 
surfaces  of  both  face  course  and  back-up  courses  of  brick. 
Hence,  the  mortar  joints  deserve  primary  attention  in  any 
attempt  to  eliminate  or  reduce  absorption. 

The  ideal  mortar  for  building  a  perfect  masonry  wall  ap- 
pears to  be  a  mortar  of  high  lime  content  which,  when  hard- 
ened, is  permanently  non  absorbent  and  water  repellent. 

Used  in  sufficient  quantities  Rockland  Waterproof  Lime  is  a 
preventive  of  efflorescence.  A  close  inspection  of  hundreds  of 
buildings  substantiates  this  claim. 

Strength 

A  mortar  made  with  one  part  of  portland  cement,  one  part 
of  Rockland  Waterproof  Lime  putty  and  six  parts  of  sand 
(all  by  volume)  is  safe  for  loads  of  250  lbs.  per  sq.  in. 

This  is  considerably  in  excess  of  the  requirements  for  mortar 
strength  on  any  modern  building.  According  to  Professor 
MacGregor's  tests,  made  at  Columbia  University,  the  strength 
of  a  brick  wall  using  a  1-1-6  mix  is  fully  as  great  as  a  brick 
wall  laid  up  with  a  1-3  portland  cement  mix  witli  no  lime. 


Authoritative  References 

Recognition  of  the  advantages  of  a  rich  lime  con- 
tent is  reflected  in  the  present  specifications  of 
leading  architects  and  engineers.  One  part  portland 
cement,  one  part  lime  putty  and  six  parts  of  sand 
by  volume  is  now  recommended  by  the  Common 
Brick  Manufacturers  Association,  and  the  Face  Brick 
Manufacturers  Association.  The  U.  S.  Bureau  of  Standards 
R.  P.  No.  321,  "Volume  Changes  in  Brick  Masonry  Materials," 
shows  that  a  mortar  containing  one  part  of  portland  cement, 
two  parts  of  lime  and  nine  parts  of  sand  had  less  shrinkage 
than  a  1-3  portland  cement  mix.  Similar  conclusions  in  the 
advocacy  of  rich  lime  mortar  were  reached  by  tests  made  by 
the  Massachusetts  Institute  of  Technology,  the  Mellon  Institute 
of  Pittsburgh  and  other  independent  scientific  bodies. 

A  committee  of  the  Boston  Society  of  Architects  (New 
England  Chapter  of  A.I. A.)  recommends  lime  in  masonry 
mortar  in  proportions  "not  less  than  one  part  of  lime  to  one 
part  of  cement  and  six  parts  of  sand  by  volume." 

The  Supervising  Architect's  Office  of  the  Treasury  Depart- 
ment of  the  United  States,  the  Veterans  Bureau,  the  Depart- 
ment of  Public  Works  of  the  State  of  New  York,  public 
utilities,  such  as    companies,  railroads,  etc.,  as  well 
as  thousands  of  individual  architects,  now  recognize  lime's 
essential  place  in  sound  mortar. 

Cost 

Rockland  Waterproof  Lime  reduces  the  cost  of  mortar  very 
considerably.  Cost  analyses  show  a  saving  of  a  dollar  to  three 
dollars  a  yard.  Possessing  as  it  does  all  the  qualities  neces- 
sary for  the  best  mortar,  and  these  at  lower  cost  than  com- 
parable materials,  architects  should  have  no  hesitancy  in 
specifying  it,  or  recommending  its  use  to  contractors.

RIVERTON  LIME  &  STONE  COMPANY,  INC. 

MAIN  OFFICE,  QUARRIES  AND  KILNS 

RIVERTON.  VIRGINIA 


FLAMINGO  HYDRAULIC  LIME  PRODUCTS 


"Flamingo"  is  the  trade  name  applied  to  the  easy- 
working,  waterproofing  and  quick  hardening  hydraulic 
lime  (which  will  set  and  harden  even  under  water) 
produced  !)y  the  RivtKTON  Lime  &  Stone  Company, 
Inc.,  at  Riverton,  Virginia. 

Flamingo  is  manufactured  by  direct  process  from 
the  hydraulic  limestone  from  their  own  quarries,  and 
their  processes  are  protected  by  patent. 

More  than  sixty  years'  experience  in  burning  lime 
and   twenty  years'   research   and   investigation  stand 
behind  the  manufacturers  of  Flamingo  Products  and  their 
guarantee. 


They  have  been  operating  their  quarries  and  kilns 
at  Riverton  continuously  since  . 

Hydraulic  Lifnc  is  not  a  new  product.  It  has  been, 
and  is  being  used  as  a  masonry  cement  in  all  types 
of  buildings  in  England  and  European  countries. 
Buildings  erected  hundreds  of  years  ago  with  hydraulic 
lime  mortar  demonstrate  its  permanence,  its  water- 
proofing qualities  and  its  ability  to  resist  the  ravages 
of  time. 

There  are  three  products,  Flamingo  for  Concrete, 
FiHERED  Flamingo  and  Waterproofed  Flamingo  for  Masonry 
Mortar. 


Flamingo  for  Concrete 

Makes  concrete  more  dense,  workable,  mobile  and  uniform 
and  gives  marked  increase  in  strength.  It  reduces  shrinkage 
and  cracking,  and  is  more  resistant  to  weathering. 

For  watertight  concrete  add  11  lbs.  of  Flamingo  for  Concrete 
per  bag  of  portland  cement  in  a  1  :2  :4  mix  (with  a  minimum  of 
SV2  bags  Portland  cement  per  cu.  yd.)  and  take  usual  precau- 
tions regarding  water  used,  thorough  spading,  etc. 


Flamingo  for  Stucco 

The  latest  development  for  modern  stucco,  as  used  on  the 
Model  Home  of  America  at  Atlantic  City,  N.  J.  It  is  plastic, 
permanent,  economical  and  waterproofed. 

For  scratch  coat  on  metal  lath  use  2  cu.  ft.  of  sand  to 
each  bag  of  Fibered  Flamingo.  For  all  other  coats,  use  3 
cu.  ft.  of  sand  to  each  bag  of  Waterproofed  Flamingo  for 
Masonry  Mortar. 


waterproofed  FLAMIN( 

Flamingo  is  guaranteed  to  meet  all  the  U.  S.  Govern- 
ment ''Master  Specifications  for  Masonry  Cement." 
Number  443,  Circular,  Bureau  of  Standards  Number 
321,  and  all  amendments  and  replacements,  including 
''Federal  Specifications  for  Masonry  Cement"  SS-C-181, 
January  6,  . 

Prevents  Leaky  Walls  and  Dampness 

The  use  of  Flamingo  does  away  with  water  seepage  through 
the  mortar  joints,  and  puts  an  end  to  dampness  on  the  inside 
walls.  Modern  research  has  demonstrated  that,  assuming  good 
workmanship,  leaky  walls  are  due  either  to  lack  of  proper  bond 
or  to  cracks  or  fissures  in  the  mortar  itself,  sometimes  left 
when  brick  is  laid  in  harsh,  stiff  working  mortar,  and  often  due 
to  the  expansion  and  contraction  of  the  cementing  material  used 
in  the  mortar,  after  it  has  set.  Flamingo  is  ground  and  milled 
so  fine,  and  the  mortar  is  so  plastic  and  spreads  so  smoothly, 
that  it  sinks  into  the  pores  and  adheres  everywhere  to  the  sur- 
face of  the  brick  and  fills  every  crevice  in  the  joint,  thus 
making  so  perfect  a  bond  that  water  seepage  between  the  brick 
and  the  mortar  is  wholly  eliminated.  Furthermore  (due  to  its 
composition) ,  Flamingo  is  not  subject  to  the  extremes  of  con- 
traction and  expansion  after  it  has  set  zvhich  often  result  in 
cracks  and  fissures  found  in  many  mortars.  Flamingo  for 
Masonry  Mortar  contains  a  carefully  proportioned  amount  of  a 
standard  waterproofing,  which  is  ground  in  and  further  im- 
proves its  waterproofing  qualities.  Flamingo  mortar  is  water- 
tight, and  is  for  use  below  as  well  as  above  grade. 

Strength 

Flamingo  mortar  meets  not  only  the  standard  building  code 
strength  requirements  for  the  heaviest  load-bearing  walls,  but 
those  prescribed  by  the  Bureau  of  Standards  and  the  United 
States  Government  for  the  masonry  cement  used  in  Govern- 
ment buildings. 

Flamingo  mortar  takes  its  initial  set  in  from  2V2  to  3V2 
hours,  and  its  final  set  in  from  6  to  8  hours,  and  progressively 
increases  in  strength  until  it  is  as  hard  as  the  brick  itself. 

Uniformity  of  Strength  and  Color 

The  color  of  Flamingo  mortar  is  notably  and  consistently 
light  and  uniform.  The  architect  and  builder  may  be  sure  that 
uniformly  sanded  Flamingo  mortar  will  be  uniform  in  both 
strength  and  color  at  all  times,  and  under  all  conditions.  The 
natural  color  of  Flamingo  mortar  approximates  that  of  straight 


)  FOR  MASONRY  MORTAR 

lime  mortar,  modified  and  softened  by  the  light  cream  tint  of 
the  neat  Flamingo.  Standard  mineral  mortar  colors  may  be 
used  if  guaranteed  by  the  manufacturers  for  use  with  cement 
and  lime  mortar,  and  added  to  the  mortar  as  directed  by  the 
manufacturers.  We  are  prepared  to  do  this  at  the  plant  to 
your  order. 

Clean  Joints  and  Perfect  Bed 

Because  Flamingo  strikes  up  "neat  and  slick"  it  gives  a 
clean,  firm,  and  neat  joint.  It  is  of  a  buttery  consistency,  and 
spreads  so  smoothly  that  perfect  bedding  is  insured.  It  slides 
freely  and  works  its  way  into  all  the  crevices  that  cannot  be 
reached  with  a  trowel.  Its  notable  fatness  keeps  the  mass 
plastic  during  the  process  of  laying  the  masonry  unit. 

Efflorescence 

Numerous  tests  in  laboratory  and  field  have  definitely  proved 
that  Flamingo  will  not  cause  efflorescence,  and  because  of  its 
waterproofing  qualities  it  greatly  reduces  the  tendency  of 
efflorescence  even  in  those  brick  high  in  soluble  salts. 

Mixing 

The  standard  mix  is  1  Flamingo  to  3  sand,  by  volume; 
or  1  bag  Flamingo  to  3  cu.  ft.  of  sand.  Alix  the  sand  and 
Flamingo  thoroughly,  add  water  and  complete  the  mixing. 
The  mortar  is  ready  for  use  immediately. 

How  Packed 

Flamingo  is  put  up  in  62^^-lb.,  multiwall  paper  bags,  con- 
taining 1  cu.  ft.  (plus)  of  material.  Four  bags  to  the  barrel 
of  4  cu.  ft.  (plus)  weighing  250  lb. 

Where  Obtainable 

Flamingo  can  be  procured  from  the  Riverton  Lime  &  Stone 
Company,  Inc.,  Riverton,  Virginia,  through  Building  Mate- 
rial dealers,  either  from  their  stock,  or  on  special  order.  If 
unable  to  secure  through  your  dealer,  write  us;  or  wire  us  col- 
lect if  in  immediate  need. 

Typical  Flamingo  Jobs 

Flamingo  is  approved  and  has  been  used  on  projects  of  the 
U.  S.  Treasury,  Veterans'  Bureau,  War  Department,  Depart- 
ment of  the  Interior,  etc.  Large  numbers  of  schools,  hospitals 
and  private  buildings  prove  the  high  quality  of  Waterproofed 
Flamingo  for  Masonry  Mortar. 

Lists  of  projects  on  which  Flamingo  has  been  used,  with  the 
names  of  the  architects  and  builders,  will  gladly  be  furnished.

Using  one  part  cement  to  four  parts  of  dry  rodded  aggregate.  Mixing 
water  6  gal.  per  sack  of  cement  (water  ratio  .80).  Curves  represent  a 
typical  concrete  mixture 


Tri-Cal  Cement  is  manufactured  under  the  most  careful  and 
scientific  control  to  insure  absolute  uniformity.  It  is  a  true 
Portland  cement  containing  no  admixture  or  adulteration.  It  is 
ground  to  a  high  degree  of  fineness  and  produces  dense  imper- 
meable concrete  of  exceptionally  high  strength  at  the  early  ages 
and  better  concrete  at  all  ages.  It  has  a  high  content  of  tri- 
calcium  silicate  which  is  the  influencing  factor  in  its  rapid 
hardening  characteristics. 

Characteristics 

All  of  the  useful  properties  of  concrete  may  be  attained  with  the  use 
of  Tri-Cal  in  much  less  time.  Conditions  being  the  same,  mix  for  mix,  the 
concrete  strength  usually  produced  with  ordinary  Portland  cement  at 
7  days  is  now  attained  with  Tri-Cal  in  from  24  to  36  hours;  similarly,  the 
strength  usually  produced  with  Portland  cement  in  28  days  is  attained 
with  Tri-Cal  in  from  3  to  4  days.

tives  making  non-acid  solution;  *'hoe  in"  with  mini- 
mum handling  and  form  strong  chemical  union  with 
the  mortar;  produce  tones  that  are  rich,  uniform, 
fade-proof;  do  not  cause  or  increase  efflorescence; 
economical. 

Colors — Stock  shades:  Black,  Brown,  Dark  Brown, 
Windsor,  Red,  Buff,  Fern  Green,  Colonial  Drab,  Amber, 
Terra  Gotta,  French  Gray.    Special  shades  made  to  order. 

Specifications — All  mortar  to  be  colored  or  stained  with 
Pecora  Mortar  Stain,  manufactured  by  PECORA  PAINT 
COMPANY,  INC.,  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  using  by  measure  1 
bucket  of  paste  or  pulp  to  7  buckets  of  face  wall  mortar. 

Mortar  must  be  cold  before  mixing  in  stain.  To  secure 
a  uniform  and  smooth  shade,  "hoe  in"  stain  thoroughly.  Keep 
soft  in  package  bv  covering  with  water.  Pour  this  off  before 
using.  Do  not  allow  stain  to  freeze  before  mixing  with  mor- 
tar. Note:  Depending  upon  depth  of  shade  desired,  the  fol- 
lowing proportions  per    brick,  ordinary  stretches,  will  be 
found  to  approximate  quantity  desired: 

Red,  Buff,  Terra  Cotta  and  Amber — For  ^-in.  joint  use 
45  to  55  lb. 

Brown,  Windsor,  Colonial  Drab,  Fern  Green,  French 
Gray  and  Dark  Brown — For  %-\n.  joint  use  35  to  45  lb. 

Black — For  yg-hi.  joint  use  20  to  30  lb. 

Mortar  varies  and  takes  more  or  less  stain  according  to 
richness  of  lime  and  quality  of  sand.  Before  laying  brick  it  is 
suggested  that  a  small  portion  of  the  stained  mortar  be  taken 
from  the  mortar  bed  and  dried  out  thoroughly  to  determine 
whether  the  proper  quantity  of  stain  is  being  used  to  produce 
the  shade  desired. 


Pecora  Metal  Sash  and  Casement  Putties 

Manufactured  in  three  grades  to  meet  varying 
competitive  conditions.  They  are  easy  to  apply,  work 
freely  under  the  knife,  set  sufficiently  on  the  surface 
for  painting  within  a  reasonable  time  and  do  not 
wrinkle,  sag  or  form  oil  pockets.  They  dry  readily 
by  oxidation  and  will  retain  life  through  long  period 
of  most  exacting  conditions,  due  to  vibration  and 
expansion  and  contraction  of  metal  and  glass.     Made  of 
blended  and  processed  oils,  with  first  quality  pigments  and 
driers. 

No.  100 — Contains  100%  linseed  oil.  Sets  in  approxi- 
mately 48  hours,  hardens  throughout,  yet  retains  elasticity. 
Recommended  where  highest  type  of  glazing  is  necessary 
and  cost  is  not  a  vital  factor.  Can  be  used  successfully  on 
wood  sash  also. 

No.  70 — Contains  70%  linseed  oil.  Sets  in  approxi- 
mately 24  hours.  Price  is  attractive  and  putty  will  meet  all 
around  conditions. 

No.  50 — Contains  50%  linseed  oil.  Sets  in  approxi- 
mately 24  hours.  Sets  firm  in  joint,  will  not  crack,  creep  or 
fall  out.  Will  not  harden  in  package.  Popular  for  competi- 
tive work. 

Note:  When  ordering,  be  sure  to  mention  grade  of  putty  desired. 


Casement  Putty — Especially  designed  lur  glaznig  oi 
casement  type  metal  sash.  Sets  in  24  to  48  hpurs  and  remains 
elastic  in  final  drying.  Will  not  fall  out,  nor  will  it  disinte- 
grate under  exposure  to  weather  conditions  during  setting 
period.  As  casement  sash  is  puttied  on  the  outside,  be  sure 
to  specify  "Pecora  Casement  Putty." 

Pecora  Suction  Putties 

For  use  in  erection  of  structural  glass  and  other  tile.  Avail- 
able in  two  types:  one  in  grayish  white  and  the  other  in  black. 
The  former,  while  quite  sticky,  is  not  diflficult  to  handle  and 
has  been  used  extensively  in  connection  with  glass  tile.  Suit- 
able for  exterior  and  interior  work  and  can  be  made  in  prac- 
tically any  color  desired.  In  the  erection  of  black  tile,  some 
contractors  claim  black  putty  more  suitable — our  Black  Suc- 
tion Putty  has  proved  satisfactory  in  every  respect.  Details 
on  request. 

Pecora  Klere-Seal  Dampproofing  Liquid 

Made  of  a  combination  of  best  water-resisting  and  water- 
proofing materials  known  to  present-day  science. 

Properties — A  colorless,  liquid  compound,  limpid  as 
water  and  absolutely  free  of  jell  or  stringing;  free-flowing, 
easy  working  and  adaptable  to  brush  or  spray  gun.  Dries  to 
a  flat  finish  in  10  to  30  minutes  depending  on  weather.  Re- 
mains unchanged  on  long  standing  and  under  normal  tem- 
perature conditions.  Will  not  get  white  or  thick  in  package, 
nor  cause  discoloration  by  whitening  or  grease  on  the  surface 
to  which  it  is  applied.  Estimated  covering,  average,  about 
200  sq.  ft.  per  gal.,  using  2  coats,  with  greater  or  lesser  cover- 
age depending  on  porosity  and  other  surface  conditions. 

Results — First,  seals  all  pores  against  any  penetration 
of  dampness  or  moisture.  Second,  eliminates  disintegration 
action  of  weathering,  freezing  and  the  accompanying  cracking 
and  chipping,  retards  absorption  and  discoloration  by  dirt, 
soot,  dust  and  fading.  Also  checks  efflorescence.  Full  par-

PECORA  PAINT  COMPANY,  INC. 


PECORA  CALKING  COMPOUND:  KNIFE  CONSISTENCY.  GUN  CONSISTENCY 


Pecora  Calking  Compound 

A  plastic  material,  impervious  to  heat, 
cold  and  moisture,  or  acid  fumes.  When  set, 
it  forms  a  tough  skin  on  the  surface  but  re- 
mains permanently  pliable  and  elastic  under- 
neath. It  adheres  tenaciously  to  wood,  stone, 
terra  cotta,  concrete,  iron,  steel,  glass  or  any 
other  building  material,  while  its  permanent 
elasticity  adjusts  itself  under  all  ordinary  con- 
ditions to  movements,  due  to  expansion  and  contraction  or 
warping  of  the  surfaces  it  joins.  It  is  made  in  two  con- 
sistencies; knife  grade  and  gun  grade.  The  knife  grade  is 
about  the  consistency  of  putty  and  is  easily  applied  with  a 
putty  knife  or  a  hand  calking  tool.  The  gun  grade  is  lighter 
in  weight  and  is  generally  applied  with  a  hand-calking  gun. 
Stock  colors  are  battleship  gray  and  cream  white.  Other 
shades  furnished  if  ordered  in  not  less  than  30-gal.  lots  of 
the  gun  calking,  and  quart  cartridge  for  use  in  conjunction 
with  our  High  Pressure  Calking  Gun ;  and  400-lb.  to  500-lb. 
drums  of  the  knife-calking  compound.  Gun  grade  put  up  in 
1,  5,  10,  30,  55-gal.  packages.  Knife  grade  in  12>^,  25,  50, 
100,  500,  900-lb.  packages. 

Air  Leakage  Prevention : — It  is  used  as  a  plastic  filler 
for  spaces  between  exterior  window  and  door  frames  and 
the  surrounding  masonry  to  prevent  the  leakage  of  water, 
air  and  dust  into  a  building  from  the  outside  and  the  leakage 
of  warm  air  from  the  inside,  thus  reducing  heating  costs  and 
other  maintenance  expenses.  It  is  used  on  both  new  and  old 
constructions.  It  is  also  used  for  calking  joints  in  extending 
masonry  members,  such  as  cap  stones,  cornices,  belt  courses, 
water  tables,  balustrades,  etc.  This  practical  usage  requires 
a  material  that  will  not  stain  the  masonry,  be  it  marble,  lime- 
stone, granite,  terra  cotta,  pre-cast  stone  or  concrete.  It  will 
^not  run  or  melt,  shrink  or  crack  in  extremes  of  temperature, 
caused  by  varying  weather  conditions.  It  adheres  perma- 
nently to  both  sides  of  the  joint,  giving  and  taking  with  any 
movements  due  to  contraction  or  expansion,  thus  making 
every  joint  so  calked  a  permanent  expansion  joint.  Pecora 
Calking  Compound,  whenever  and  wherever  properly  in- 
stalled, has  fulfilled  all  these  requirements. 

Application : — There  are  three  recommended  methods 
of  application,  viz:— (1)  hand  calking,  (2)  hand-gun  calk- 
ing, and  (3)  power-gun  calking. 

(1)  A  very  satisfactory  job  can  be  done  by  a  good  conscien- 
tious mechanic,  by  forcing  the  compound  into  the  joints  with  a 
hand  tool,  such  as  a  putty  knife,  small  trowel  or  calking  key.  For 
this  method  of  application  Pecora  "Knife"  consistency  (sold  by 
the  pound)  should  be  used. 


(2)  The  High  Pressure  Cartridge  Calk- 
ing Gun  is  the  newest  method  in  use.  If  care 
is  taken  to  force  calking  compound  back  into 
the  joint  (not  merely  laying  a  thin  strip  of  it 
on  top)  a  good  calking  job  can  be  done.  For 
this  method  of  application  Pecora  "Gun"  con- 
sistency (sold  by  the  gallon)  should  be  used. 

(3)  Power-gun  calking  (whereby  the  gun 
calking  compound  is  forced  into  the  joint  under 
heavy  pneumatic  pressure)  is  recognized  by  all 

authorities  as  the  most  efficient  method  of  calking.  Installa- 
tions done  by  this  method  will  cost  somewhat  more  because 
of  the  greater  amount  of  calking  compound  that  can  be  forced 
into  any  given  depth  of  a  joint,  but  on  large  construction 
projects  many  of  the  leading  architects  insist  on  this  method 
of  application,  especially  for  the  calking  of  masonry  joints. 

Joints  to  be  calked  most  efficiently  should  be  at  least  ^  in. 
in  width  and  preferably  not  less  than  ^  in.  in  depth.  If  wider 
than  y2  in.  or  deeper  than  2  in.,  these  should  be  packed  with  calk- 
ing cotton  to  within  not  less  than  ^  in.  of  the  face  surface  and 
the  remaining  space  should  be  filled  with  calking  compound.  Use 
of  oakum  for  packing  a  joint  (especially  a  masonry  joint)  should 
be  avoided,  as  oils  in  the  oakum  are  likely  to  stain  stone. 

All  joints  to  be  calked  should  be  built  up  or  cut  out  square 
down  the  sides  (not  V-shape),  and  they  should  be  thoroughly 
cleaned  of  all  dust,  dirt  and  loose  matter  before  the  calking  com- 
pound is  forced  in.  Otherwise  the  calking  compound  cannot 
bond  properly. 

If  the  calking  compound  is  to  come  in  contact  with  material 
that  is  of  a  very  porous  nature,  the  joint  should  be  brushed  or 
sprayed  with  a  coat  of  shellac  that  will  close  the  pores,  thus  pre- 
venting undue  "suction,"  which  would  have  a  tendency  to  lessen 
the  life  of  the  compound.

RICKETSON  MINERAL  COLOR  WORKS 

Manufacturers  of  Mortar,  Cement  and  Plaster  Colors 
229  East  Wisconsin  Avenue,  MILWAUKEE,  WIS. 


THE  COMPANY 


Dependability  —  Ricketson  Mineral 
Color  Works  have  been  the  makers  of  the 
highest  grade  of  mortar  color  for  more  than 
50  years.  This  has  been  fifty  years  of 
progress,  in  the  development  of  better  mor- 
tar colors.  Ricketson  colors  have  been  used 


in  some  of  the  largest  and  more  important 
buildings  in  the  United  States. 

As  the  oldest  mortar  color  manufacturers 
in  the  country,  we  unhesitatingly  stand  back 
of  our  colors  now  so  finely  ground  as  to 
give  the  most  effective  coloring  value. 


A  NEW  PROCESS  IN  THE  MANUFACTURE  OF  RICKETSON  IMPROVED  MORTAR  COLORS 


Our  New  Scientific  ''Air  Floated''  Process 

Our  new  "air  floated"  process,  and  specially  designed 
machinery  will  grind  our  ores  to  a  velvety,  "flour-like" 
fineness,  greatly  adding  to  their  penetration  and  conse- 
quent coloring  value.  All  trace  of  the  unstable  oxides 
is  removed,  leaving  only  those  colors  that  will  perma- 
nently resist  every  effect  of  weathering,  without  the 
slightest  change.  They  never  fade.  The  architect  and 
builder  who  specifies  Ricketson  Mortar  Colors  is  assur- 
ing himself  that  his  work  will  remain  as  he  left  it  so  far 
as  the  mortar  color  is  concerned. 

There  are  other  reasons  why  Ricketson  Colors  are 
extremely  advantageous  to  use.  Being  absolutely  pure 
coloring  matter  without  filler  or  binder  and  insoluble  in 
water,  they  never  cake  or  deteriorate,  no  matter  how 
long  kept  before  using. 

Their  perfect  purity  and  the  impalpable  fineness  to 
which  they  are  ground  produce  a  number  of  desirable 
results.  It  makes  them  easy  to  obtain  a  perfect  mix.  It 
gives  them  greater  coloring  strength  than  most  mortar 
colors  on  account  of  their  high  percentage  of  ferric 
oxide,  so  that  they  go  farther,  pound  for  pound.  And 
it  enables  them  to  act  as  a  filler  for  the  materials  with 
which  they  are  mixed.  Laboratory  tests  show  that 
Ricketson  Mortar  Colors  produce  a  stronger  mortar  or 
concrete  aggregate. 

Color 

The  drab,  lifeless  colors  that  gave  anything  but  a 
cheerful  aspect  to  the  buildings  of  yesterday,  have  given 
way  to  new  brilliance  of  hues  for  two  very  good  reasons. 
First,  the  natural,  human  love  for  color.  Second,  man's 
new-found  ability  to  provide  color  in  architecture 
which  successfully  withstands  the  attack  of  sun  and 
weather. 

Today,  not  only  wood  and  fabrics  are  beautified  with 
enduring  colors,  but  through  the  efforts  of  such  special- 
ists as  the  Ricketson  corps  of  color  craftsmen,  even  the 
stone  beneath  our  feet,  the  adamant  of  the  walls,  and 
the  everlasting  masonry  of  the  great  skyscrapers  are 
bathed  in  hues  which  will  last  for  ages. 

Regular  Mortar  Colors 

Red,  Brown,  Light  and  Dark,  Buff,  Double  Strength 
Chocolate,  Green,  Black.  Odd  tints  may  be  made  by  the 
combination  of  various  of  the  above  colors. 


Mortar  Color  Specifications 

All  Mortar  Color  used  shall  be  lime,  alkali  and  sun- 
proof, finel}^  ground  mineral  Colors  in  dry  form  as 
manufactured  by  Ricketson  Mineral  Color  Works, 
and  shall  be  used  in  strict  accordance  wnth  manufac- 
turer's specifications.  It  is  obviously  difficult  to  lay 
down  a  set  of  rules  or  a  mixing  formula  for  the  use  of 
Mortar  Colors  as  the  width  of  the  joint  and  depth  of 
shade  desired  will  really  determine  what  amount  of 
color  should  be  used.  For  laying  1,000  brick  from  75 
lbs.  to  125  lbs.  of  color  should  be  used,  depending  on 
the  color  and  the  width  of  the  joint. 

Fundamental  Rules — A  few  fundamental  and  never 
to  be  violated  rules  can,  however,  be  set  down,  and 
include  these : 

First — If  lump  lime  is  used  in  place  of  hydrated  lime, 
it  must  be  thoroughly  slaked  and  allowed  to  cool  at 
least  24  hours  before  the  color  is  added.  Hot  lime,  or 
even  warm  lime,  fades  the  best  of  colors. 

Second — The  dry  colors  should  be  mixed  thoroughly 
with  sand,  hydrated  lime  and  cement  before  the  water 
is  added.  After  the  water  is  added  the  mixing  should  be 
continued  until  the  mass  is  free  from  spots  or  streaks 
of  color. 

Third — Use  mortar  as  thick  as  practicable.  Do  not 
use  a  ''thin"  mortar.  Keep  the  different  batches  as  near 
the  same  consistency  as  possible. 

Fourth — Measure  or  weigh  mortar  color;  do  not 
guess.  The  first  lot  of  color  should  be  weighed,  and 
after  this  has  been  done  and  the  right  shade  secured,  a 
measure  holding  that  amount  should  be  used  for  all  sub- 
sequent batches  of  mortar.  This  is  the  only  way  in 
which  a  uniform  shade  can  be  secured.  That  the  con- 
tractor may  be  sure  of  the  shade,  it  is  best  to  make 
up  some  sample  panels  before  starting  the  job.  Make 
the  panels  as  thick  as  the  finished  wall  and  back  them 
with  mortar,  so  the  drying  will  be  under  normal  con- 
ditions. Mortar  dries  out  lighter  than  it  appears  when 
wet. 

Efflorescence — Is  caused  by  the  depositing  of  soluble 
salts  on  the  wall  surface  after  the  water  of  solution  has 
evaporated.  These  soluble  salts  may  exist  in  the  mortar 
used  in  laying  up  the  stone  or  brick,  or  they  may  exist  in 
the  brick  or  stone.  This  efflorescence  is  not  caused  by 
the  incorporation  of  mortar  color  into  the  mortar;  it  can 
and  does  occur  when  uncolored  mortar  is  used.

RICKETSON  MINERAL  COLOR  WORKS 


RICKETSON'S  CEMENT 

Ricketson  Cement  Colors 

For  Stucco,  Exteriors,  Floors,  Sidewalks,  Driveways,  Porches, 
Tennis  Courts,  Tile,  Brick  and  all  cement  products. 

Beautifying  concrete  with  Ricketson's  Cement  Colors  has  won 
the  popular  acclaim  among  architects  and  contractors  all  over 
the  country.  Colored  concrete  is  in  vogue  today,  more  than 
ever.  Costs  less  than  any  other  form  of  surface.  Avoids 
painting,  easy  to  keep  clean,  and  will  make  an  otherwise  drab- 
looking  concrete  show  life  and  pleasing  effects.  Ricketson's 
Cement  Colors  are  known  for  their  superior  strength,  color  bril- 
liance of  tone,  and  absolute  proof  against  heat,  alkali  or  atmos- 
pheric conditions.  Adds  strength  to  the  concrete  and  makes  a 
harder  surface. 

How  to  Obtain  Best  Results 

The  following  quantities  of  Cement  Color  are  required  for 
laying  100  sq.  ft.  of  floor  topping,  one-half  inch  thick.  Standard 
1  to  2  mix. 

Gray  Portland  Cement  2  sacks  (^^^  bbl.) 

Clean,  Sharp  Sand  4  cu.  ft.  (375  lbs.) 

Ricketson's  CP  Cement  Color  18  lbs. 

For  %  in.  topping  add  50%  and  1  in.  add  100%  to  above 
quantities.  Establish  mixture  from  samples  built  up  under  job 
conditions  and  allow  to  dry,  because  by  this  method  you  will 
know  in  advance  what  the  job  will  look  like  when  completed. 
Measure  every  ingredient  in  each  batch  of  color  mortar,  includ- 
ing water. 

Use  9  lbs.  of  Ricketson's  Cement  Color  to  each  bag  of 
Portland  cement.    Always  use  clean  sand. 

Final  troweling  should  be  done  after  concrete  has  stiffened ; 
this  assures  a  smooth,  polished  finish.  Integral  waterproofing 
hardener  can  be  added  to  mix  materials,  also  polishing  or  a 
surface  treatment  can  be  applied  if  necessary. 

Ricketson's  Plaster  Colors 

Make  Your  Own  Colored  Plaster  and  Stucco  at  a 
Saving  of  40% — Now,  with  Ricketson's  Plaster  Colors,  it  is 
possible  to  produce  the  most  modern  tinted  effects  in  plaster  and 
stucco,  inside  the  house  and  out  and  for  all  public  buildings  and 
institutions,  at  a  cost  that  is  not  prohibitive. 

The  demand  for  color  in  and  about  the  home  is  not  a  mere 
passing  fancy.   Those  who  have  made  a  study  of  the  subject 


AND  PLASTER  COLORS 

assure  us  that  the  use  of  color  is  not  only  here  to  stay  but  will 
increase  as  new  methods  and  new  economics  are  put  into 
practice. 

Ricketson's  Plaster  Colors  solve  a  big  problem.  They  make 
possible  a  more  extensive  use  of  colored  plaster  and  stucco 
because  of  the  saving  they  effect  over  the  ready-colored  plasters 
and  over  plaster  that  is  tinted  after  being  laid  on. 

Because  of  the  purity  and  character  of  the  materials  which 
compose  Ricketson's  Colors,  walls  and  other  surfaces  tinted 
with  these  colors  retain  their  original  beauty,  as  the  colors 
are  non-fading  and  weatherproof — You  Can't  Fade  'Em. 

Ricketson's  Colors  become  a  part  of  the  plaster  itself.  They 
are  mixed  in  with  the  other  ingredients  when  the  plaster  is 
mixed. 

How  to  Obtain  Best  Results 

Formula  No.  1,  Hard  Finish : 

Based  on  Average  Mortar  Box  Capacity  of  600  lbs. 

Keene's  Cement  125  lbs. 

Finishing   Lime  175  lbs. 

White    Silica    Sand  300  lbs. 


To  above  add  3  cans  of  Ricketson's  Color. 
Formula  No.  2,  Common  Finish. 


600  lbs. 


Ilydrated  Finish  Lime  450  lbs. 

Plaster  of  Paris  150  lbs. 

600  lbs. 

To  above  add  three  4-lb.  cans  of  Ricketson's  Color. 

The  above  formulas  are  standard  mixtures  for  permanent 
beautiful  plasters  and  stuccos  in  homes,  office  buildings, 
churches  and  theatres.  Six  hundred  pounds  is  the  capacity 
of  the  average  mortar  box  and  requires  three  standard  pack- 
ages of  Ricketson's  Plaster  Color  to  match  the  colors  shown 
in  this  folder.  For  one-third  this  amount,  use  one  can  and 
to  increase  the  size  of  the  batch,  increase  all  ingredients  in 
proportion. 

If  you  prefer,  you  can  use  your  own  formula;  the  same 
colors  as  those  shown  will  result  regardless  of  the  formula  used. 
Merely  keep  the  proportion  of  one  can  of  color  to  each  200 
pounds  of  plaster.  If  stronger  shades  arc  desired,  increase  the 
amount  of  color.  It  is  understood,  of  course,  that  the  lime, 
gypsum,  Keene's  cement,  sand  and  all  ingredients  other  than 
the  color  should  be  as  nearly  white  as  obtainable.

Clinton  Electrically  Welded  Wire  Fabric  Scope  of  Use 

Clinton  Electrically  Welded  Wire  Fabric  is  the  ideal 
mesh  reinforcement  for  concrete.  It  is  extensively  used 
in  concrete  floors,  walls,  roads,  sidewalks,  pipe,  sew- 
ers, reservoirs,  levees  and  all  forms  of  concrete  slab 
construction. 

When  used  to  reinforce  floor  slabs  the  larger  longi- 
tudinal wires  are  located  in  line  of  greatest  stress  while 
the  transverse  members  arranged  at  right  angles  to  the 
longitudinal  aflPord  the  most  eflicient  means  of  distrib- 
uting concentrated  loads  in 
a  direction  perpendicular  to 
the  main  reinforcing  mem- 
bers.

Fabric  is  particularly  eflicient  in  resisting  stresses 
caused  by  temperature  changes. 

Material — It  is  a  square  or  rectangular  wire  mesh 
with  its  points  of  intersection  electrically  welded  and 
can  be  furnished  in  various  gauges  of  wire  and  spac- 
ings.  The  wire  used  in  manufacture  is  a  special  grade 
of  high  quality  steel  wire  that  has  a  minimum  tensile 
strength  of  70,000  lbs. 

Finish — Qinton  Electrically  Welded  Wire  Fabric 
can  be  furnished  with  either  plain  steel  or  galvanized 
wire. 

Economy  and  Accuracy  of  Installation 

The  fabric  is  delivered  in  rolls  or  sheets.  Rolls  any 
desired  length  not  exceeding  150  ft.  for  heavy  sizes 
and  400  ft.  for  light  sizes.  Great  quantities  can  be 
placed  quickly  and  accurately  by  unskilled  labor,  with 

the  assurance  that  every 
strand  is  in  its  proper  posi- 
tion. This  renders  it  a 
simple,  safe  and  most  eco- 
nomical reinforcing  mate- 
rial for  all  forms  of  slab 
construction.

Bull  Dog  Floor  Clips 

The  use  of  Bull  Dog  Floor  Clips  to 
secure  strips  or  sleepers  for  wood  floor 
laid  over  concrete  assures  both  structural 
efficiency  and  economy. 

Rigid  tests  indicate  that  firm  anchorage 
is  assured  when  our  instructions  are  fol- 
lowed. This  means  a  firm  level  floor,  no 
buckle,  dome,  or  squeak.  Friction  tight 
nails  for  securing  sleeper  to  clip  are  fur- 
nished gratis  with  all  Bull  Dog  Floor 
Clips. 

When  Bull  Dog  Standard  width  (P^ 
in.)   (illustrated  in  cut  below),  or  Bull 
Dog  Sui3er  Junior  width  ( }|  in.)  is  used, 
no  fill  is  necessary  or  required.  Dead  air  space  elimi- 
nates dry  rot. 

Economy 

The  use  of  Bull  Dog  Floor  Clips  saves  5^^  per  sq.  ft., 
because  the  cost  of  material  and  labor  for  a  concrete 
fill  is  eliminated.  Bull  Dog  Clips  can  be  placed  rapidly, 
and  sleepers  can  be  laid  50%  faster  than  if  anchored

by  a  fill  material.  Clips  spaced  16  in.  on 
centers  require  576  anchors  per   
sq.  ft.  of  floor  slab.  This  reduces  dead 
load  18,000  lb.  per    sq.  ft.  of  floor 
area,  which  means  a  proportionate  reduc- 
tion of  reinforcing  steel. 

Quick  delivery  is  assured  at  all  times. 
We  have  163  representatives  throughout 
the  United  States  with  stocks  maintained 
at  20  well-located  shipping  points. 

Where  Ordinances  Require  a  Fill 

With  a  fill,  it  is  not  necessary  to  use  the 
Standard  or  Super  Junior  Bull  Dog  Clip.  The 
Junior  %-in.  wide  (see  table)  is  suitable  for  this 
type  of  construction  and  effects  a  still  greater 
saving  in  anchoring  floors  to  concrete.  With  sleepers  spaced 
16  in.  on  centers  and  clips  spaced  30  in.  on  centers  along  each 
sleeper  300  clips  are  required  for  each  lOOO  sq.  ft.  of  slab  at  a 
cost  of  $6.00.  This  cost  is  more  than  offset  in  the  time  and 
expense  of  bracing  the  strips,  beveling,  etc.  and  a  large  saving 
in  expense  of  fill,  material  and  labor.

taking  the  compressive  stresses,  as  will  be  described  in  what 
follows.  A  glance  at  the  attached  sketch  of  a  typical  cross  sec- 
tion will  clarify  the  relationship  of  the  various  parts  of  the 
system. 

As  a  practical  construction  expedient,  the  steel  reinforcement 
is  prefabricated  in  the  form  of  light  reinforced  trusses,  ranging 
in  weight  from  IVi  to  28  lbs.  per  lin.  ft.,  depending  upon  span 
and  load.  From  these  trusses  are  hung  the  forms  for  receiving 
the  Aerocrete.  As  a  result,  these  forms  are  of  the  most  eco- 
nomical type,  consisting  of  flat  sheathing  lumber  laid  on  string- 
ers, and  the  need  for  posting,  shoring  or  centering  is  eliminated. 
The  top  member  of  the  truss  is  designed  to  take  the  stresses 
resulting  from  the  weight  of  the  Aerocrete  and  the  stone  con- 
crete. Therefore,  the  forms  can  be  stripped  in  from  three  to 
five  days,  or  as  soon  as  the  Aerocrete  and  concrete  have  set 
sufficiently  to  safely  support  their  own  weight  over  the  span 
between  the  trusses. 

The  trusses  are  spaced  from  3  to  4  ft.  apart,  the  wider 
spacing  being  somewhat  more  economical  where  conditions  per- 
mit. As  part  of  their  erection,  the  trusses  are  stayed  by  means 
of  rigid  channel  bridging,  in  accordance  with  the  best  construc- 
tion practice  for  this  type  of  member.  After  the  forms  have 
been  placed  and  the  Aerocrete  is  poured,  the  stone  concrete  is 
placed  within  24  to  72  hours.  The  concrete  may  be  finished 
monolithically  to  receive,  or  to  act  as,  the  finished  flooring.  As 
part  of  the  construction,  light  reinforcement,  consisting  of  light 
welded  wire  mesh,  is  placed  in  the  bottom  of  the  slab.  One- 
quarter  inch  pencil  rods  18  in.  on  centers  are  placed  in  the  stone 
concrete  as  temperature  reinforcement. 

The  finished  construction  gives  a  smooth  underside,  ready  for 
plastering.  This  underside  consists  of  a  continuous  flat  surface 
of  Aerocrete  to  which  a  good  bond  with  plaster  is  easily 
•  obtained. 

Using  a  light  reinforced  truss  in  the  construction  enables  con- 
duits, and  in  the  larger  sizes,  pipes  as  well,  to  be  run  in  any 

3.  STRUCTURAL  AEROCRETE  IN 

Aerocrete  can  be  produced  in  Structural  Grade  to  weigh 
from  60  to  80  lbs.  per  cu.  ft.  as  desired.  This  material  is  offered 
as  highly  suitable  for  use  in  so-called  "Short  Span  Construc- 
tion." That  is  to  say,  for  spans  up  to  8  ft.  between  structural 
steel  framing,  slabs  from  ZV^i  to  5  in.  thick,  but  generally  4  in., 
reinforced  with  welded  wire  mesh  or  with  reinforcing  bars. 
Where  bars  are  used,  transverse  temperature  reinforcing  of 
pencil  rods  is  required  18  in.  on  centers. 

Construction  of  this  type  is  highly  flexible  as  regards  design 
as  well  as  low  in  cost  to  install.  It  is  speedy  to  erect  and  adapt- 


direction  through  the  open  webs.  In  this  way  the  necessity  for 
a  floor  fill  is  obviated,  with  a  consequent  saving  in  cost,  in  dead 
load,  and  in  floor  thickness. 

The  design  of  the  trusses  themselves  is  of  considerable  en- 
gineering interest.  The  top  member  may  consist  of  two  angles, 
a  tee  or  other  shape  of  sufficient  lateral  stiffness  and  with  a 
margin  to  allow  for  the  additional  stresses  that  occur  from  the 
addition  of  the  designed  applied  load.  The  bottom  member 
consists  of  two  parts — first,  a  portion  similar  to  the  top  mem- 
ber which,  secondly,  is  assisted  by  two  flat  reinforcing  bars. 
These  run  along  in  the  bottom  steel  in  the  center  of  the  span, 
and,  at  a  distance  of  L/5  from  the  end,  they  are  bent  upward 
to  join  the  top  chord  at  the  end  of  the  member.  They  end  in 
substantial  hooks,  which  are  embedded  in  stone  concrete.  It 
may  be  stated,  therefore,  that  this  reinforcement  assists  in 
giving  intermediate  support  to  the  beam  and  thus  to  the  floor 
construction,  adding  greatly  to  its  stiffness  and  rigidity. 
As  a  result,  the  floor  can  be  considerably  overloaded  without 
approaching  the  allowable  deflection  of  l/360th  of  the  span, 
and  a  heavy  concentrated  load  is  distributed  over  two  or  more 
joists,  due  to  the  effective  distribution  of  load  by  the  thick  slab, 
without  causing  distress  to  the  floor  construction. 

To  sum  up,  this  floor  system  consists  of  a  stone  concrete  slab 
reinforced  by  a  steel  member,  prefabricated  to  carry  the  forms 
and  the  dead  load  and  an  Aerocrete  filler.  Compressive  and 
tensile  stresses  are  taken  in  the  concrete  and  steel.  Sheer 
stresses  are  taken  by  the  steel  and  the  Aerocrete.  Flat  forms 
are  hung  from  the  steel  so  that  the  erection  is  speedy,  easy  and 
economical.  Conduits  can  be  run  through  the  trusses  in  any 
direction.  A  permanent  economical  plaster  finish  is  insured,  due 
to  the  flat  continuous  underside  of  Aerocrete.  The  stone  con- 
crete may  be  finished  monolithically.  The  resulting  floor  is 
absolutely  fireproof  and  highly  soundproof.  The  nature  of  the 
design  permits  of  extreme  flexibility  in  laying  out  the  system 
in  practice.  Owing  to  the  special  reinforcing  of  the  trusses,  an 
exceptionally  stiff  and  rigid  floor  results. 

SHORT  SPAN  CONSTRUCTION 

able  to  irregular  conditions  of  framing.  Since  the  forms  are 
hung  from  the  steel,  the  work  goes  forward  rapidly  without 
interfering  with  the  progress  of  the  other  trades. 

Structural  Aerocrete  is  a  highly  satisfactory  material  for  use 
in  the  structural  slab  and  for  fireproofing  the  structural  steel 
in  Short  Span  Construction.  Its  low  weight  as  compared  to 
stone  and  cinder  concrete  results  in  substantial  savings  in 
framing  and  in  foundation  costs.  Its  thermal  insulation  makes  it 
preferred  as  a  fire  resistant  material.  Its  property  of  resisting  the

passage  of  sound  is  excellent  and  is  described  elsewhere  herein. 
Combined  with  the  above,  its  ease  and  economy  of  placing 
make  it  a  preferred  material  for  work  of  this  nature. 

Although  Structural  Aerocrete  can  be  produced  in  a  range 
of  weights  from  60  to  80  lbs.  per  cu.  ft.,  for  the  sake  of 
simplicity  we  have  selected  two  of  the  most  generally  used 
grades  for  analysis. 

The  first  is  one  weighing  60  lbs.  per  cu.  ft.  using  a  mixture 
of  sand  and  clean  hard  coal  cinders  as  aggregate.  Where  avail- 
able slag  or  other  light  aggregate  of  suitable  consistency  can 
be  used  in  place  of  cinders.  The  second  grade  is  one  weighing 
80  lbs.  per  cu.  ft.,  using  coarse  sand  graded  up  to  to  Vi" 
as  the  aggregate. 


Full  engineering  data,  for  the  use  of  the  designer,  is  given 
in  the  attached  tables.  The  regular  "straight  line"  formulas 
have  been  used  in  the  computations.  Numerous  tests,  however, 
have  demonstrated  that  the  arch  effect  in  this  type  of  construc- 
tion makes  these  formulas  highly  conservative.  For  those  who 
are  familiar  with  these  results,  we  have  carried  the  tables  up 
to  a  value  for  working  stress  in  the  concrete  of  40%  of  the 
ultimate.  For  designers  wishing  to  use  a  lower  value  full 
design  data  is  given  so  that  the  proper  reinforcement  and 
depth  of  slab  can  be  arrived  at  readily. 

A  large  number  of  representative  jobs  running  back  over 
seven  years  can  be  given  to  any  interested  architect  or  engineer. 
Several  are  illustrated  on  the  last  page  of  this  catalogue. 


4.  ROOF  CONSTRUCTION 


Aerocrete  is  an  ideal  material  for  structural  roof  or  roof 
fill.  Its  low  weight  results  in  a  saving  of  structural  steel  while 
its  excellent  heat  insulating  qualities  obviate  the  need  for 
including  expensive  and  often  unsatisfactory  insulation  mate- 
rials. Aerocrete  is  permanent  as  well  as  moisture  and  vermin 
proof.   It  gives  an  excellent  base  for  built-up  roofing. 

For  a  flat  roof,  Aerocrete  poured-in-place  on  forms  is  gen- 
erally to  be  recommended  in  accordance  with  one  of  the  three 
designs  outlined  above.  For  a  sloping  roof,  precast  Aerocrete 


planks  should  be  specified.  They  give  a  smooth  under-surface 
for  plastering. 

Aerocrete  is  one  of  the  cheapest  kinds  of  permanent  roof 
for  heated  buildings.  In  specifying  Aerocrete,  the  Architect 
is  specifying  structural  roof  and  insulation  at  the  same 
time. 

For  example,  4  in.  of  50-lb.  Aerocrete  transmits  only  0.38 
B.t.u.'s  per  hour  per  square  foot  per  degree  difference  l^ahren- 
heit,  or  the  equivalent  of  an  inch  of  insulating  board. 


5.  SOUNDPROOF  PARTITION  SLABS 


We  manufacture  Aerocrete  partition  blocks  for  use  in  apart- 
ment houses,  hotels,  hospitals,  and  other  buildings  in  which 
good  sound  insulation  is  a  factor  of  primary  importance.  Archi- 
tects, owners,  and  loaning  institutions  are  all  paying  in- 
creasing attention  to  this  important  factor  in  building  con- 
struction. 

Aerocrete  is  highly  resistant  to  sound.  At    sound  cycles 
per  second,  a  4-in.  Aerocrete  partition  block  showed  a  sound 
attenuation  of  42  decibels.  This  resistance  factor  is  equal  to 
that  of  a  double  wall  of  7-in.  thickness  consisting  of  materials 
principally  used  in  the  past. 


Therefore  a  sound  insulating  partition  of  Aerocrete  is  more 
economical  to  erect.  The  architect  or  builder  is  also  able  to 
maintain  standard  thickness  of  partition  walls,  thereby  saving 
valuable  rental  space. 

Aerocrete  partition  blocks  are  made  in  3,  4,  and  6-in.  thick- 
nesses. We  will  gladly  submit  a  list  of  the  large  number  of 
important  buildings  in  which  Aerocrete  partition  blocks  have 
been  used  with  the  most  satisfactory  results. 

As  back-up  blocks  behind  spandrels,  Aerocrete  partition  blocks 
zvill  reduce  zcall  thickness  for  recessing  radiators  and  give  bet- 
ter heat  insulation. 


6.  AEROCRETE  FLOOR  AND  ROOF  FILL 


Dependent  on  the  purpose  for  which  it  is  used,  Aerocrete 
fill  is  made  in  weights  from  40  to  80  lbs.  Like  all  Aerocrete, 
the  fill  is  chemically  pure,  therefore  no  danger  of  corrosion  is 
present  when  piping  and  conduits  are  embedded  in  the  fill. 

Compared  to  other  kinds  of  fill,  Aerocrete  is  considerably 
lighter.  This  saving  in  dead  weight  means  saving  in  structural 
steel  and  in  foundations. 

Aerocrete  fill  gives  a  more  soundproof  floor.  When  poured, 
the  Aerocrete  mass  is  quite  fluid  and  fills  easily  every  crevice 
in  the  floor  around  pipes,  ducts,  etc.    This  property  makes 


Aerocrete  a  superior  material  for  sleeper  fill  and  also  acts  to 
largely  restrain  the  telephoning  ,of  sounds  along  plumbing  and 
heating  pipes  and  structural  members.  Furthermore,  it  is  inex- 
pensive because  it  is  easy  to  place  and  the  quantity  of  material 
to  be  handled  is  smaller. 

For  roof  fill,  Aerocrete  of  required  density  and  thickness 
gives  sufficient  thermal  insulation  without  additional  imperma- 
nent insulating  boards. 

Aerocrete  gives  a  monolithic  job,  highly  soundproof  and  heat 
insulating,  verminproof  and  permanent.

Featherweight  Concrete  Insulating  Roof  Slabs 

These  slabs  represent  the  latest  development  in  permanent, 
fireproof,  no-maintenance  roof  construction.  They  are  precast 
of  Haydite  aggregate  (trapped  air  cells)  instead  of  sand,  zveigJi 
as  low  as  10  lb.  per  sq.  ft.,  are  strong,  and  possess  new  insulat- 
ing value.  Featherweight  Slabs  go  on  the  same  light  steel 
frame  that  carries  other  roofs.  Used  for  flat  or  sloping  roofs. 
Composition  covering  is  required. 

Featherweight  Nailing  Concrete  Slabs 

Form  a  fireproof  concrete  deck  to  which  slate,  ornamental 
tile,  copper  or  other  roofing  can  be  directly  nailed. 

Featherweight  Interlocking  Slabs  for  Pitched  Roofs 

Form  a  complete  waterproof  roof,  entirely  eliminating  all 
composition  covering.  Their  attractive  red  color  enhances  the 
appearance  of  the  building. 

Featherweight  Glass  Insert  Slabs 

When  used  in  combination  with  Featherweight  Interlocking 
Slabs  for  top  lighting,  these  slabs  form  an  ideal  "daylight  roof." 
Can  be  distributed  to  admit  light  over  entire  floor  space,  or 
concentrated  over  any  operation.  Glass  is  embedded  in  the 
concrete  during  manufacture.   


Federal  Cork  Insulated  Slabs 

Afford  a  splendid  supcrinsulation  for  use  in  extreme 
conditions,  as  for  instance  on  certain  types  of  paper  mill 
buildings. 

The  Roof  for  Permanence 

Featherweight  Slabs  are  made  of  the  most  indestructible  of 
all  commonly  used  materials — reinforced  concrete.  They  are 
not  affected  by  heat,  cold,  ice,  snow,  fire,  water,  acid  fumes, 
gases,  or  any  other  destructive  forces.  They  actually  grow 
stronger  with  age. 

Laid  directly  on  structural  steel,  they  make  a  light  weight, 
fireproof  construction  requiring  no  painting,  repairing  or  re- 
placement. 

The  slabs  carry  a  load  well  above  all  building  code  re- 
quirements. 

Federal  is  the  lowest  cost  permanent  roof  obtainable  today. 
Over  two  hundred  million  square  feet  are  in  use. 

Service  and  Structural  Details 

All  Federal  roofs  arc  installed  and  fully  guaranteed  by  us. 
Our  engineers  will  gladly  suggest  the  most  economical  layout  of 
both  steel  and  slabs,  without  charge  or  obligation.  "Catalog

CALISTONE  ROOF  AND  FLOOR  SLABS  AND  INSULATING  CONCRETE  AGGREGATE 


General  Description  of  Material  and  Purposes 

Calistone  is  a  light  weight  insulating  concrete  made  from 
Calicel  Concrete  Aggregate  mixed  with  Portland  cement  or 
gypsum  and  is  used  for  the  following  purposes : 

(1)  Roof  slabs,  over  structural  framing. 

(2)  Floor  slabs,  over  junior  beams,  bar  joists,  etc. 

(3)  Alonolithic  insulation  over  concrete  roof  slabs. 

(4)  Alonolithic  sound-deadening  fill  between  floor  sleepers 
or  between  rough  concrete  floor  slab  and  finished  floor,  such 
as  terrazzo,  tile,  compo,  etc. 

(5)  Alonolithic  insulation,  either  inside  or  outside  of  smoke 
flues,  breechings,  etc. 

It  is  also  used  to  a  great  extent  in  the  industrial  field  as  a 
monolithic,  refractory  insulator  in  the  construction  of  dry  kilns, 
furnaces,  boilers,  etc.  Luminite  or  high  alumina  cement  only  is 
recommended  as  its  cementing  agent  in  the  latter  cases. 

The  Material  and  Manufacture 

Calicel,  basically,  is  highly  expanded  stone.  It  is  a  cellular 
mineral,  a  refractory  insulator,  a  synthetic  combined  silicate 
of  lime  and  alumina  formed  at  temperatures  in  excess  of 
°  F.,  being  so  cooled  that  the  molten  mass  is  expanded 
from  10  to  40  volumes.  This  highly  cellular  structure  resembles 
petrified  sponge.  Subsequent  refining  and  grading  operations 
produce  finished  Calicel  which  serves  as  an  aggregate  for  Calicel 
acoustical  materials  as  well  as  thermal  insulators. 


Adaptability  and  Methods 
of  Use 

Calicel  Concrete  Aggregate  is 
mixed  with  Portland  cement 
and  water  in  much  the  same 
manner  as  ordinary  concrete 
aggregates.  The  resulting  con- 
crete, known  as  Calistone,  is 
then  deposited  in  the  desired 
thickness  (usually  2  to  3  inches) 
over  a  supporting  member 
which  may  be  metal  lath, 
K  &  M  corrugated  or  flat 
sheets,  special  steel  deck  (spans 
up  to  7  ft.  0  in.),  or  concrete 
deck. 

Certain  of  these  supports 
serve  as  their  own  reinforce- 
ment, but  in  some  cases  it  is 
essential  to  add  reinforcement 
of  wire  mesh  or  rods.

ing force  for  consultation  with  architects  and  engineers,  and 
welcomes  discussion  of  individual  problems.  Further  data, 
reports,  etc.,  will  be  forwarded  upon  request. 

Merits 

Though  Calistone,  as  constituted  at  present,  is  not  repre- 
sented as  a  structural  concrete,  it  furnishes  remarkable  strength, 
particularly  so,  when  its  weight  of  approximately  50  pounds 
per  cubic  foot  is  considered — its  strength  being  as  great  as, 
often  far  greater  than,  other  similar-purpose  fireproof  materials 
of  equal  density. 

It  is  absolutely  vermin,  rodent  and  fire  proof. 
Portland  cement  Calistone  will  not  soften,  disintegrate  or 
dissolve  when  subjected  to  excessive  saturation. 

It  is  more  free  from  expansion  or  contraction  than  standard 
concrete  due  to  the  nature  of  the  aggregate. 

Splendid  sound-deadening  and  sound-absorbing  qualities  are 
had  as  Calicel  Concrete  Aggregate  is  essentially  the  same  ag- 
gregate as  used  in  the  manufacture  of  Calicel  Acoustical  Tile 
and  Plaster  and  Calicel  Sound  Fill. 

The  following  data  is  from  reports  of  Prof.  J.  C.  Peebles

NAILCRETE  (NAILING  CONCRETE) 


Nailcrete— Devjeloped  after  extended  labora- 
tory research  and  tests  in  connection  with 
economic  construction  methods  has  been  in 
successful  commercial  use  for  20  years. 

Nailcrete  is  a  cementitious,  fibrous,  all-mineral  patented 
fireproof  compound,  containing  no  animal  or  vegetable  matter, 
no  acids,  alkalis  or  any  substance  injurious  to  metals,  wood  or 
other  construction  materials  coming  in  contact  with  it.  Nail- 
crete is  supplied  in  bags  containing  the  correct  quantity  for 
the  unit  mix.  It  is  mixed  on  the  job  with  portland  cement, 
screened  sand  and  clean  water,  and  screcdcd  smooth  and  level. 

Advantageous  Qualities  and  Physical  Properties — Nail- 
crete is  absolutely  fireproof  and  verminproof  ;  will  not  shrink, 
swell,  or  rot;  is  unaffected  by  dampness,  a  poor  conductor  of 
heat  and  an  effective  sound  deadener. 

Nailcrete  has  the  same  compressive  strength  as  1-3-6  cinder 
concrete  and  is  20%  lighter  (weighs  about  96  lb.  per  cu.  ft.). 
Coefficient  of  expansion,  also  setting  and  drying  periods  are 
substantially  the  same  as  those  of  cinder  concrete.  Nailcrete 
calls  for  the  same  precautions  against  freezing,  quick  drying, 
etc.,  as  are  necessary  with  ordinary  concrete. 

Uses  of  Nailcrete — (a)  SubHoors — Nailcrete  is  laid  as  a 
subfloor  on  top  of  the  structural  slab  or  floor  arch,  to  which  is 
directly  applied  wood  flooring,  cork  tile,  etc. 

(b)  Reinforced  Floor  Slabs  for  Metal  Lumber — Nailcrete 
is  used  2  in.  thick  on  top  of  metal  lath  placed  on  metal  lumber 
or  bar  joist  floor  beams. 

(c)  Roof  Coating — A  fireproof,  rotproof  nailing  base  IV2  to 
2  in.  thick  directly  on  top  of  roof  slab  to  receive  tile,  slate, 
copper,  etc. 

(d)  Reinforced  Roof  Slab — A  poured-in-place  construction 
on  rafters  of  steel,  metal  lumber  or  bar  joists. 

(e)  Precast  Lightweight  Roof  Slabs — Manufactured  with 
reinforced  all  mineral  Nailcrete  Cinder  Concrete  in  sizes  to 
meet  requirements.    A  structural  slab  and  nailing  base. 

(f)  Plaster,  Interior  and  Exterior — For  interior  plastering.

Uses — Nailcrete  Blocks  are  used  in  load-bearing  walls,  partition  walls, 
and  as  an  efficient  and  economical  backup  of  cut  stone,  cast  stone,  and 
brick  veneered  walls.  Nailcrete  lUocks  are  furnished  in  all  sizes  useful 
in  constructing  3,  4,  6,  8,  12  and  16-in.  masonry  walls. 


especially  for  fireproofing,  sound-insulating,  and 
as  a  nailing  base  for  wood  paneling;  for  exterior 
plastering  or  penthouse  walls,  skylight  curbs,  etc., 
to  receive  the  sheet  metal  covering. 

Specifications  for  Nailcrete 

Note:   Always  specify  Nailcrete  by  name. 

Materials — Nailcrete  shall  be  made  with  portland  cement  and  sand 
strictly  in  accordance  with  the  specifications  of  the  manufacturer.  All 
sand  shall  be  sharp,  clean,  and  screened  through  i/4-in.  mesh. 

Preparatory  Work — Immediately  before  Nailcrete  is  laid,  the  surface 
to  be  covered  shall  be  swept  broom-clean,  thoroughly  wetted  and  grouted. 

Setting"— All  Nailcrete  shall  be  allowed  to  set  properly  before  being 
walked  on. 

Note:   Ordinarily  2  days  in  summer  and  3  days  in  winter. 

Nailcrete  Sulbfloors— On  structural  floor  construction  Nailcrete  shall 
be  laid  2  in.  thick  and  screeded,  and,  if  necessary,  troweled  to  a  level. 

When  Nailcrete  is  dry,  the  surface  shall  be  given  a  brush  coat  of 
asphaltic  waterproofing  before  flooring  is  laid.  Flooring  to  be  nailed 
with  8d  cut  nails,  driven  at  an  angle  of  approximately  45°. 

Note:  For  high  class  work  specify  (under  the  heading  of  Carpentry) 
1  layer  of  tarred  paper  (not  less  than  2-ply)  additional  deadening  felt, 
if  desired,  and  the  finish  wood  flooring  to  he  used.  Underflooring  is 
never  necessary  zcith  strip  flooring  but  is  recommended  where  parquet 
flooring  is  to  be  used. 

On  Metal  Iium'ber  Beams — Cover  the  floors  of  rooms,  etc.  (specify 
which  ones  are  to  be  covered),  with  metal  lath  securely  directed  to  the 
beams  (not  over  2  ft.  apart)  and  on  top  of  the  metal  lath  put  a  bed  of 
Nailcrete  not  less  than  2  in.  thick  at  the  thinnest  point,  screeded  level 
to  receive  the  finish  flooring  specified  under  Carpentry. 

Note:  In  high  class  ivork  specify  paper  as  above.  Even  in  work  of 
the  highest  class  underflooring  is  unnecessary,  as  stated. 

Nailcrete  Roof  Coating* — The  structural  roof  construction  shall  be 
covered  with  2  in.  of  Nailcrete. 

Note:  If  slate  are  thicker  than  %  in.,  consult  The  Nailcrete  Cor- 
poration as  to  the  thickness  of  the  Nailcrete. 

Reinforced  Sloping*  Hoof  Slalt) — Cover  steel  rafters  with  self- 
centering  lath  (as  specified  by  manufacturers)  or  pour  in  place  fabric- 
reinforced  Nailcrete  slab    in.  thick.    (See  table  for  areas  of  steel 

and  safe  loads.) 

Plaster — Interior — Plaster  interior  walls  to  an  approved  finish,  true 
and  even  as  per  instructions  of  The  Nailcrete  Corporation. 

Exterior — Plaster  the  exterior  of  penthouse  walls,  skylight  curbs,  etc., 
with  Nailcrete  plaster  1  in.  thick  in  2  coats,  scratch  and  finish,  trowelecl 
(or  floated)  true  and  even. 

Note:  If  the  Nailcrete  plaster  is  to  be  applied  to  gypsum  blocks,  the 
blocks  should  be  covered  first  with  proper  bonding  material,  and  the 
Nailcrete  is  then  to  be  applied  while  the  bonding  material  is  still  tacky,

CONCRETE  BUILDING  BLOCKS 

Pireproof — Cinder  concrete  is  accepted  as  one  of  the  best  fireproofing 
materials.  Nailcrete  Cinder  Blocks,  made  of  cinders,  Nailcrete  and 
cement  are  incombustible  and  extremely  fire  resisting. 

Nailability  and  Nailholding" — These  outstanding  features  are 
largely  due  to  the  presence  of  Nailcrete  in  the  blocks.  They  take  and 
thcv  hold  nails.  The  lightest  trim  and  moulding  can  be  attached  to 
interior  walls;  and  shingles,  siding  or  weatherboards  to  exterior  walls. 

Iiig-htness — Because  of  the  inherent  lightness  of  the  aggregates  used — 
Nailcrete  Blocks  are  among  the  lightest  load-bearing  masonry  units 
made.  This  reduces  the  dead  load  and  often  permits  the  use  of  lighter 
steel  with  subsequent  savings. 

Underwriters'  Blocks — Nailcrete  Blocks  have  been  tested  and  ap- 
proved by  the  Underwriters'  Laboratories,  Inc.,  Chicago,  and  certified 
blocks  can  be  supplied. 

Specifications — For  Plastered,  Stuccoed  or  Exposed  Exterior  or 
Interior  Walls — Load-bearing  exterior  and  interior  walls  and  partition 
walls  will  be  of  Nailcrete  Nailable  Cinder  Concrete  Blocks. 

For  Backup  of  Cut  Stone,  Cast  Stone  and  Brick  Walls— Backing  of  cut- 
side  walls  will  be  of  Nailcrete  Nailable  Cinder  Concrete  Blocks.

What  Porete  Is 

Porete  is  a  lightweight  cellular  concrete  made  of  Port- 
land cement  and  sand.  It  is  of  uniformly  honeycombed  struc- 
ture and  combines  the  durability  of  concrete  with  the  lightness 


of  wood.  Porete  is  made  of  a  very  rich  cement  mix  and  any 
reinforcing  metal  is  thoroughly  coated  and  protected  against 
corrosion. 

Porete  can  be  cast  in  different  weights  from  19  lbs.  per  cu.  ft. 
to  70  lbs.  per  cu.  ft.  and  heavier.  On  account  of  the  air  cells 
which  it  contains,  it  is  a  good  heat  and  sound  insulator  and  a 
better  fire  resisting  material  than  solid  concrete.  Its  permanency 
is  equivalent  to  that  of  concrete  and  its  strength  improves 
with  age. 

The  Porete  Mfg.  Co.,  organized  in  ,  is  the  pioneer  in  the 
development  of  lightweight  cellular  concrete  and  its  adaptation 
to  roofs  and  floors.  The  nailable  Porete  roof  decks  for  steep 
roofs,  as  well  as  the  various  flat  roof  constructions,  of  which 
millions  of  square  feet  have  been  erected,  are  recognized  as 
the  best  in  the  roofing  field. 


PRECAST  FLOOR  AND  ROOF  SLABS 

Slabs  Made  of  Lightweight  Aerated  Concrete 


No.  lA — Short  Span  Porete  Slabs  with  Field  Finish 

Purlin  spacing  2  ft.  8  in.,  thickness  194  in.,  weight  10  lbs. 
per  sq.  ft. ;  nailable ;  good  heat  insulation. 

These  slabs  are  reinforced  with  woven  galvanized  wire 
fabric.  P/i-in.  thick  slabs  are  clipped  to  channels  or  laid  on 
T-irons  and  covered  with  a  ^^>-in.  nailing  finish.  This  is  the 
best  deck  for  roofs  of  complicated  nature  intersected  by  hips, 
valleys  and  dormers.  On  roofs  above  45°  pitch,  we  recommend 
the  slabs  to  be  laid  on  T-irons  as  shown. 

The  short  span  precast  slab  construction  with  T-irons  and 
wedge  pins  as  shown  in  the  cut  on  the  right  has  become  the 
standard  for  steep  tower  and  mansard  roofs.  The  exposure  of 
such  roofs  to  high  winds  at  great  heights  demands  a  roof  deck 
to  which  tile,  slate,  copper  or  lead  roofing  can  be  nailed  with 
safety.  Many  of  the  most  prominent  skyscrapers  with  tower 
roofs  in  the  cast  are  covered  with  this  construction. 


No.  IB — Long  Span  Porete  Slabs  with  Field  Finish 

Purlin  spacing  3  to  6  ft.,  thickness  2  to  ZV2  in.,  weight  11  to 
16  lbs.  per  sq.  ft. ;  nailable ;  excellent  heat  insulation. 

These  slabs  are  reinforced  with  welded  galvanized  wire  fab- 
ric.   They  are  laid  on  channels  or  I-beams  to  which  they  are 


fastened  with  steel  clips.  They  are  covered  with  a  ^^»-in.  nail- 
ing finish.  The  steel  purlins  can  be  laid  horizontally  or  in 
vertical  planes.  This  is  the  best  deck  for  sloped  roofs  with 
large  unbroken  areas  as  on  school  buildings,  churches,  etc.  It 
is  advisable  to  lay  out  the  steel  with  a  spacing  as  uniform  as 
possible  to  avoid  many  different  size  slabs.  This  deck  has  very 
high  heat  insulating  value.  Due  to  the  monolithic  field  finish 
it  makes  a  first  grade  foundation  for  the  roofing  particularly 
where  slate,  tile  or  sheet  metal  roofing  has  to  be  nailed  up. 


No.  1C — Long  Span  Porete  Slabs  without  Field  Finish 

Purlin  spacing  3  to  6  ft.,  thickness  2  to  3Mj  in.,  weight  11  to 
10  lbs.  per  sq.  ft. ;  nailable ;  excellent  heat  insulation. 

These  slabs  are  reinforced  with  welded  galvanized  wire 
fabric.  They  are  used  on  the  same  kind  of  roofs  as  the  Long 
Porete  Slabs  with  field  finish  under  No.  IB.  The  main  differ- 
ence is  that  these  slabs  are  cast  to  accurate  thickness  so  that 
when  they  are  laid  tight  together  they  form  a  smooth  bed  for 
the  roofing  which  goes  on  top  of  it  without  the  application 
of  a  field  finish.    (Sec  illustration  on  top  next  page.)

No.  2A — Channel  Slabs 

Made  of  dense  vibrated  eoncretc  using  lightweight  aggre- 
gate. No  field  finish.  Purlin  spacing  5  to  8  ft.,  thickness 
3^/4-in.  leg,  1-in.  web;  weight,  12  to  14  lbs.  per  sq.  ft.  depend- 
ing upon  aggregate;  not  nailable;  fair  heat  insulation. 

These  slabs  are  reinforced  with  a  deformed  steel  bar  in  each 
leg  and  a  welded  wire  fabric  in  the  web.  They  are  laid  on 
channel  or  I-beam  purlins,  and  the  joints  are  pointed  up  with 
elastic  cement.  They  make  the  most  economical  roof  deck  for 
large  unbroken  roof  areas  and  are  particularly  well  suited  for 
warehouses,  manufacturing  plants,  piers,  etc. 


No.  3— Rib  Steel  Roof  Decks 

Made  of  copper  bearing  sheets  of  No.  20  to  No.  24  gauge 
covered  with  a  field  concrete  finish,  purlin  spacing  3  to  10  ft., 
thickness  of  slab  3  to  in.,  weight  9  to  16  lbs.  per  sq.  ft., 
can  be  made  nailable;  fair  heat  insulation. 

These  decks  are  recommended  particularly  on  buildings  for 
large  unbroken  roof  areas  with  flat  or  sloped  roofs  where 
great  rigidity  of  the  roof  deck  is  required.  The  ribs  are  IV2 
in.  deep  on  standard  and  2  in,  deep  on  supersheets,  and  are 
spaced  6  in.  on  centers.  The  sheets  are  laid  on  structural  steel 
purlins  and  securely  fastened  to  them  with  clips.  After  the 
sheets  are  laid,  they  are  covered  with  concrete.  On  flat  roofs, 
the  usual  application  is  1  in.  of  cement  grout,  on  sloped  roof 
W2  in.  of  nailing  concrete  suitable  for  the  nailing  of  slate,  tile 
or  metal  roofing.  The  ribs  are  reinforced  with  independent 
steel  bars  or  with  heavy  sheet  metal  "Z"  bars  welded  to  the 
bottom  of  each  corrugation.  The  sheets  are  painted  with  a 
shop  coat  of  either  black  asphaltum  or  aluminum  paint  on 
the  bottom.  This  construction  is  suitable  not  only  for  medium 
spans  but  also  purhn  spacing  up  to  12  ft. 


Porete  is  made  by  aerating  a  slurry  of  Portland  cement  and 
small  aggregates.  This  aerated  mixture  is  poured  to  the 
proper  level  where  it  sets;  no  expansion  takes  place  after- 
wards. The  weight  per  cu.  ft.  of  the  final  cellular  concrete 
is  predetermined.  An  ordinary  concrete  mixer  of  the  tilting 
type  can  easily  he  adapted  to  pour  this  cellular  concrete. 

Porete  Fill  can  be  made  in  any  weight  from  19  lbs.  to  90 
lbs.  per  cu.  ft.  Fills  which  weigh  32  lbs.  per  cu.  ft.  and  less 
are  designated  as  Poretherm  on  account  of  their  high  insulat- 
ing qualities.  The  table  on  right  gives  the  insulating  value  for 
different  weights  compared  with  other  materials. 

Poretherm  32  As  an  Insulating  Fill  for  Roofs  and  Floors 

Poretherm  32  is  a  low  cost,  high  grade  insulation  material 
that  can  be  poured  on  the  job.  It  consists  of  almost  nothing 
else  but  Portland  cement.  2.1  in.  in  thickness  have  an  insula- 
tion equivalent  to  1  in.  of  cork.  It  is  a  heat  and  sound 
insulating  materal  par  excellence,  because  it  is  permanent  and 
fireproof.  Unlike  materials  of  vegetable  or  wood  fibre,  it  does 
not  deteriorate  when  continuously  exposed  to  moisture.  It  is 
odorless,  permanent  and  fungi  proof.  Poretherm  is  solid, 
uncompressible  luider  ordinary  loads  and  does  not  settle  or  sag 
like  loose  insulating  materials.  It  is  cast  monolithically  with- 
out joints,  which  are  liable  to  decrease  the  insulation. 

When  used  as  an  insulating  fill  on  roofs,  it  is  not  necessary 
to  grade  the  structural  slab  accurately,  as  Poretherm  being 
not  much  more  expensive  than  concrete,  when  poured  on  the 
structural  slab  will  fill  up  all  the  irrgularities.  It  can  also  be 
used  for  farming  crickets  for  drainage.  On  account  of  all 
these  features  and  the  low  cost  of  the  raw  materials,  Pore- 
therm 32  is  today  one  of  the  most  economical  insulating  ma- 
terials on  the  market.  The  Roof  Fill  is  usually  covered  with 
a  1 :3  cement  finish       in.  thick  before  the  roofing  is  applied. 


PORETE  FILL  (Cast  in  Situ) 

Poretherm  32  is  also  made  in  precast  blocks  for  heat  and 
sound  proof  partitions.  Size  12  in.  x  30  in.  x  3  in.  to  6  in. 
thick.  ^  . 

Poretherm  19— Weighs  19  lbs.  per  cu.  ft.,  is  recommended 
for  high  and  low  temperature  insulation,  and  is  particularly 
economical  on  floors  and  roofs  of  refrigerating  buildings.

Floor  Fills  Heavier  Than  32  Lbs.  per  Cu.  Ft. 

Floor  Fills  to  be  poured  on  top  of  structural  floors  are 
made  of  an  aerated  concrete  weighing  45  to  90  lbs.  per  cu,  ft., 
the  weight  depending  upon  the  requirements.  They  are  cast 
from  2  to  4  in.  thick  or  more. 

This  fill  provides  an  insulation  against  heat  and  sound  and 
a  medium  to  fill  the  space  where  conduits,  pipes  and  sleepers 
are  placed  with  no  danger  of  deterioration.  Cement,  terrazzo, 
composition  or  wooden  floors  can  be  applied  to  this  directly. 


For  heat  and  sound  insulation,  particularly  in  apartments, 
hotels  and  hospitals,  where  the  transmission  of  noise  from  one 
floor  to  another  is  objectionable,  Porcte  Fill  is  unsurpassed. 
Its  cleanliness,  fireproofness  and  permanency  make  it  ^^ar- 
ticularly  desirable  in  this  class  of  buildings.  This  lightweight 
fill  is  not  made  to  hold  nails. 

All  these  floor  fills  can  be  furnished  and  erected  by  the 
PoRETE  Mfg.  Co.  or  they  can  be  applied  by  the  Building  Con- 
tractor under  the  supervision  of  the  Porete  Mfg.  Co. 


FLOOR  SYSTEMS 


Steel  Beam  and  Lightweight  Porete  Fill  Floor  System 

In  this  system  the  steel  beams,  which  can  be  standard  rolled 
sections,  J  &  L  Jr.  Beams  or  Trussed  Joists,  are  completely 
embedded  in  the  lightweight  concrete  weighing  32  to  50  lbs. 


ROUGH  FLOOR  TO  RECEIVE 
FINISHED  FLOORING 


Joists  on  Close  Centers 


per  cu.  ft.,  the  weight  depending  upon  the  loads  and  span. 
A  catenary  wire  reinforcement  over  the  beams  is  used. 

This  Floor  System  is  exceedingly  simple  and  flexible.  The 
steel  beams  are  designed  to  carry  the  necessary  loads.  A  tem- 
porary centering  is  hung  up  from  the  steel  beams,  so  that  no 
expensive  shoring  is  needed.  Pipes  and  conduits  can  be  directly 
embedded  into  the  fill.    Holes  can  easily  be  cut  where  required. 

When  the  beams  are  on  close  centers  (24  to  30  in.)  the  floor 
slab  can  be  as  thin  as  6  in.  When  4-in.  beams  are  used  this 
leaves  1  in.  below  and  1  in.  above  the  beams. 

For  close  spacing  of  the  beam  centers,  a  fill  weighing  only 
32  lbs.  per  cu.  ft.  will  develop  all  the  necessary  strength  to 
carry  the  usual  live  loads.  This  light  fill  is  covered  with  ^/4-in. 
thick  1 :3  rough  cement  finish  which  serves  as  a  construction 
floor  until  the  finished  floor  is  put  on  top.  This  makes  an 
exceedingly  light  floor  which  weighs  only  about  20  lbs.  per 
sq.  ft.  for  a  thickness  of  6  ins. 

For  wider  spacing  of  the  beams  up  to  8  ft.  the  thickness  of 
the  fill  should  not  be  less  than  8  in.  and  the  weight  45-55  lbs. 
per  cu.  ft.,  depending  upon  the  load  and  spacing. 


Long  Span  Precast  Unit  Floor  System 


This  is  a  one-way  reinforced  concrete  slab  consisting  of 
T-beams  poured  in  place  between  6-ft.  long  precast  hollow 
concrete  units.    The  precast  filler  units  are  made  of  vibrated 
concrete  with  a  rough  surface,  so  as  to 
make  a  perfect  bond  with  the  concrete 
which  is  poured  in  the  field. 

The  unusual  length  of  6  ft.  for  the 
precast  units  is  the  cause  for  the  possi- 


Cross  Channels  Filled 
with  Poured  Cement 


bility  of  quicker  erection  with  less  labor  and  for  a  minimum 
of  temporary  framing  and  shoring  not  possible  with  other 
systems  of  floor  construction.

The  Porete  Long 
Span  System  is 
based  on  standard 
reinforced  con- 
crete practice.  This 
floor  system,  with- 
out a  cement  finish 
on  top,  is  good  for 
75  lbs.  per  sq.  ft. 
live  load  for  spans 
up  to  20  ft.  and  correspondingly  higher  loads  on 
shorter  spans. 

The  precast  units  are  made  under  rigid  factory 
control  in  automatic  machines  using  the  vibrating 
method — every  one  alike  and  all  of  high  quality  con- 
crete cured  under  ideal  conditions  for  the  right  length 
of  time. 

All  these  floor  syste7ns  have  a  fiat  beamlcss  ceiling  under- 
neath. This  reduces  the  height  of  the  building  for  the  same 
effective  headroom;  better  lighting  and  ventilation  is  obtainable. 
The  rough  surface  on  the  underside  provides  a  good  plaster 
bond.  For  warehouses  zvhere  no  plastering  is  required,  the 
underside  of  these  floors  furnishes  in  itself  a  light  and  attrac- 
tive ceiling. 


PORETE  NAILFILL 


Porete  Nailfill  is  an  all-mineral  compound  principally  com- 
posed of  asbestos.  When  mixed  with  Portland  cement,  sand 
and  water,  it  forms  a  plastic  mortar  that  sets  similar  to  con- 
crete, and  when  matured  it  becomes  an  elastic,  lightweight 
concrete,  into  which  nails  can  be  driven  as  readily  as  into 
wood,  and  in  which  the  nails  will  hold.  As  it  consists  entirely 
of  minerals,  it  is  fireproof  and  verminproof.  Like  concrete  its 
strength  improves  with  age ;  it  will  not  disintegrate  and  will 
always  retain  its  nailing  qualities. 

Porete  Nailfill  concrete  forms  a  permanent,  resilient,  light- 
weight nailing  base.  A  2-in.  layer  is  placed  on  top  of  the 
concrete  slab  with  which  it  forms  an  excellent  bond.  The 
wood  flooring  can  be  nailed  directly  to  this  base,  as  soon  as 
it  is  set  and  dry.  The  weight  of  Porete  Nailfill  concrete  is 
96  lbs.  per  cu.  ft.

POREX  SLABS 

Made  of  Portland  Cement  and  Mineralized  Wood  Fibre 

Porex  Slabs  are  made  of  high  grade  mineral- 
ized wood  fibre  bound  under  high  pressure  with 
Portland  cement.  Iking  bound  with  Portland 
cement,  which  is  insoluble  in  water,  the  Porex 
Slabs  will  stand  up  under  continuous  exposure 
to  water.  For  this  reason  they  can  be  stored 
out  of  doors  in  the  rain  and  frost  without  be- 
ing damaged.  The  materials  of  which  they  are 
made  are  straight  Portland  cement  with  a  tough 
mineralized  wood  fibre  as  an  aggregate. 

Porex  Slabs  are  odorless,  vermin  and  fungi 
proof;  they  are  highly  fire-resisting.  Covered 
with  Vj-in.  cement  plaster  on  the  fire  side,  they 
will  resist  a  fire  of  °  Fahr.  for  over  an 
hour. 

Due  to  their  light  weight  Porex  Slabs  are 
excellent  for  heat  and  sound  insulation.  They 
can  be  sawed  like  ordinary  lumber.  On  account 
of  the  large  size  slabs,  covering  11  sq.  ft.,  the 
labor  cost  for  erecting  them  is  low. 

Because  of  its  porous  texture,  Porex  has  a 
high  sound  absorption.  When  used  on  ceilings 
or  walls  it  will  provide  great  acoustical  qualities 
combined  with  an  attractive  surface  finish  of 
natural  gray  color.  The  exposed  surface  can 
be  painted  any  suitable  color,  and  it  can  be 
cleaned  easily  with  a  brush. 

Porex  Slabs  are  20  in.  wide  x  80  in.  long,  1 
in.  and  1%  in.  thick,  covering  an  area  of  11.1 
sq.  ft.  Nine  slabs  have  an  area  of  100  sq.  ft. 
The  1-in.  slabs  weigh  2  lbs.  per  sq.  ft.  and  the 
1%-in.  slabs  4  lbs.  per  sq.  ft. 


Porex  Roofs  and  Floors 

1%-in.  Thick  Forcx 

The  1%-in.  slabs  are  recommended  as  floor 
and  roof  slabs  on  wooden  or  steel  joists  up  to 
24-in.  centers.  When  used  in  this  way  they  are 
usually  covered  with  a  thin  cement  grout  V-k  in. 
thick.  On  floors  this  makes  a  good  construc- 
tion floor  until  the  finished  floor  is  ready  to  be 
set  up. 

On  roofs  when  slate  or  tile  has  to  be  nailed 
up,  a  in.  thick  Porete  Nail  Fnish  should  be 
applied  instead  of  the  cement  finish.

Porex  Slabs  are  nailed  to  the  upright  studs 
on  16-in.  centers  over  a  waterproofing  paper, 
or  they  are  fastened  to  steel  framing  with  spe- 
cial clips.  After  they  are  erected  they  are 
covered  with  two  coats  of  cement  stucco.  Their 
rough  surface  makes  an  excellent  bond  with 
stucco,  and  the  stucco  is  not  affected  by  the 
materials  of  which  the  Porex  Slabs  are  made. 

The  1-in.  thick  Porex  Slabs  are  also  economi- 
cal for  fireproof  ceilings  under  wooden  or  steel 
joists  in  basements  and  attics;  for  forms  or 
centering  of  concrete  slabs;  and  for  furring  of 
brick  and  stone  walls.

These  slabs,  when  used  for  roof  decks  for  schools,  churches, 
auditoriums,  gymnasiums,  factories,  etc.,  accomplish  three  im- 
portant objectives,  namely,  fireproofing,  adequate  insulation, 
and  sound  absorption,  which  is  now  recognized  as  being  so 
important  to  meet  modern  ideas  of  efficiency  and  general  wel- 
fare. This  modern  type  of  construction  accomplishes  in  one 
unit  what  required  three  individual  operations  by  former  meth- 
ods. Where  economy  is  paramount  no  further  decoration  is 
necessary.

Truscon  Rib  Tile 

This  reinforced  cement  roofing'  tile  is  self-weathering  and  is  laid  directly 
on  the  roof  purlins.  It  is  fireproof,  watertight,  of  lijiht  weight,  economi- 
cal, not  only  in  first  cost,  but  in  its  permanence  without  upkeep  expense. 
These  tile,  together  with  the  necessary  trim,  are  furnished  in  red  color 
and  add  materially  to  the  architectural  beauty  of  any  building. 

Truscon  Glass  Insert  Tile 

These  reinforced  tile  are  exactly  the  same  dimensions  as  the  standard 
rib  tile  and  are  interchangeable  with  them.  The  glass  is  inserted  after  the 
tile  is  laid  and  glazed  from  the  outside.  Provides  increased  light  over 
entire  roof  area  or  over  certain  operations  as  required.  Should  a  glass 
become  broken  it  can  readily  be  replaced  without  disturbing  the  tile. 

Truscon  Haydite  Flat  Slabs 

These  precast  reinforced  factory-made  flat  slabs  are  laid  directly  on  the 
supporting  structural  steel.  Joints  are  cemented  ready  for  application  of 
composition  roofing.  The  erection  labor  is  speedily  performed  without 
interference  with  the  work  of  any  other  trade.  No  centering  or  costly 
form  work  is  required.  Light  weight — made  from  Haydite  aggregate — 
fireproof,  economical  first  cost,  with  no  maintenance.  Vibrated  to  give 
extreme  density  and  solidity.    Adaptable  for  both  flat  and  pitched  roofs. 


Truscon  Haydite  Channel  Slabs 

The  channel  section  design  of  these  slabs  permit  light  weight  construc- 
tion, where  longer  spans  than  practical  for  flat  tile  are  required. 

This  type  of  slab  is  used  under  the  same  conditions  and  present  the 
same  advantages  as  the  flat  slabs. 

Truscon  Nailing  Concrete  Slabs 

Where  it  is  desirable  to  nail  an  ornamental  roof  covering  and  at  the 
same  time  retain  fireproofness,  Truscon  Nailing  Slabs  have  been  developed. 
The  lower  portion  is  of  structural  concrete  and  the  upper  1  i/i  ins.  of  nail- 
ing concrete.  The  base  portion  may  be  either  the  flat  type  or  the  channel 
type,  with  a  maximum  span  of  5  ft.  4  ins,  and  6  ft.  8  ins.  respectively. 

All  of  the  foregoing  types  are  properly  reinforced  and  only  the  best 
materials  are  used. 

Concrete  mixes  are  all  scientifically  controlled  by  weight  and  all  slabs 
are  cured  under  constant  temperature. 

Being  factory  made,  rigid  inspection  is  enforced,  which  insures  uniform 
excellence  in  composition,  workmanship  and  results — a  standardized  prod- 
uct of  extreme  accuracy. 

Installation  made  as  easily  in  winter  as  in  summer.

Construction  Service 

This  company,  backed  by  over  20 
years'  experience  in  gypsum  construc- 
tion, is  at  your  service  for  advice  and 
estimates  for  the  above  types  of  con- 
struction installed  complete  in  any  part 
of  the  v^orld. 

Advantages  of  Subpurlin  Types 

The  subpurHn  types  of  construction 
have  all  the  advantages  of  light  weight, 
rapid  erection,  high  insulation  properties, 
fire  resistance,  vibration  resistance,  per- 
manence, strength  and  excellent  under- 
surface  appearance. 

The  simplicity  of  the  subpurlin  designs  permits  adaptation 
to  any  layout  of  supports  by  varying  the  size  of  subpurlin  in 
accordance  with  standard  structural  design.  Subpurlins  bear 
on  walls  and  no  special  bracing  of  purlins  is  required  as  with 
other  designs. 

In  replacement  of  old  roofs  and  floors  where  applications  to 
framing  are  difficult,  or  where  a  uniform  paneled  undersurface 
is  desired,  its  use  has  been  found  particularly  advantageous. 

Subpurlin  Types  of  Monolithic  Gypsum  Floor  and  Roof 
Construction 

The  approval  of  architects,  engineers,  and  owners  throughout 
the  United  States  and  Canada  is  convincing  proof  that  the 
Hoge  and  the  Enclosed  subpurlin  types  are  well  suited  to  the 
great  majority  of  conditions,  and  conform  readily  to  the 
standards  of  design  and  appearance  required  by  architects. 

Hoge  Subpurlin  Type— In  the  Hoge  type  small  subpurlins 
are  laid  about  32  in.  apart  on  the  top  of  walls,  beams  or 
purlins  spanning  the  distance  between  beam  or  wall  supports. 


Hoge  Type  of  Monolithic  Gypsum  Floor  and  Roof  Construction 

On  the  lower  flanges  of  the  subpurlins  are  supported  %-in. 
standard  gypsum  board,  insulation  or  other  composition  board, 
with  joints  made  over  purlins  to  form  a  solid  undersurface, 
paneled  by  the  lower  flanges  of  the  subpurlins.  The  subpurlins 
are  designed  to  carry  all  loads,  which  are  transferred  to  them 
by  continuous  mesh  reinforcement  running  across  and  resting 
over  top  of  the  subpurlins.  Standard  gypsum  composition  is 
poured  in  place  over  the  gypsum  board  or  insulation  board  and 
finished  smooth  to  the  required  slab  thickness,  ready  to  receive 
the  roof  or  floor  finish.  The  undersurface  can  be  left  with 
the  attractive  composition  board  finish  or  may  be  decorated 
as  desired. 

Enclosed  Subpurlin  Type — Where  fireproofing  or  greater 
insulation  value  is  desired,  the  subpurlins  are  supported  on 
the  purlins  or  blocked  above  the  top  of  purlins  with  insulating 
material.  Removable  forms  are  so  placed  as  to  permit  covering 
the  bottom  of  the  subpurlins  with  %:-'m.  or  more  of  gypsum 
composition,  leaving  a  solid,  plain  gypsum  undersurface  even 
with  the  top  of  the  purlins,  the  full  thickness  of  the  slab  being 
a1)Ove  the  superstructure,  yielding  maximum  insulation  value.

NATIONAL  GYPSUM  COMPANY 

Monolithic  Poured-in-Place  Gypsum  Floor  and  Roof  Construction 


GENERAL  OFFICES 

BUFFALO,  N.  Y. 


This  Type  of  Construction,  in  Use  for  Almost  a  Half  Century,  Has  Been  Further  improved  by  a 
Patented  Method  Which  Makes  This  System  Preferable  from  Every  Standpoint  .  .  .  Quickly 

Constructed,  Permanent,  Fireproof,  Inexpensive 


Poured-in-Place  Gypsum  Roof  Construction  Which  Actually  Becomes  An  integral  Part  of  the  Main  Steel  Construction 

Withstands  vibrations  and  will  resist  storms  and  cyclones    sufficient  in  force  to  destroy  roofs  of  conventional  design 


SIX  OUTSTANDING  ADVANTAGES 


1.  Light  Weight — Slab  weighs  only  one-third  as 
much  as  concrete,  thus  reducing  the  dead 
load  and  decreasing  the  cost  of  supports  and 
foundations. 

2.  Rapid  Construction — Slab  may  be  used  within  an 
hour,  and  the  roof  covering  can  be  placed  if  desired 
the  following  day. 

3.  High  Insulation  Value — Four  times  the  insulation 
value  of  concrete.  Reduces  fuel  consumption  and 
heating  equipment  requirements.  A  building  that  is 
warmer  in  winter  and  cooler  in  summer. 

4.  Fireproof — Gypsum  construction  as  fi reproofing  for 


steel  has  successfully  passed  numerous  fire  tests, 
and  is  generally  recognized  as  being  equal  to  other 
material  as  fireproofing  for  steel  work,  with  a  mini- 
mum of  dead  load. 

5.  Vibration  Crack  Resistant — Owing  to  the  tough- 
ness and  elasticity  of  the  gypsum  composition  there 
is  a  noticeable  absence  of  vibration  cracks  on  all 
installations  of  this  material. 

6.  Low  Maintenance  Cost — Repairing  and  mainte- 
nance cost  is  low.  Slab  is  easily  cut  where  changes 
in  construction  are  necessary.  Nails  can  be  driven 
in  slab  to  secure  slate,  tile,  etc. 


Monolithic  Gypsum  construction  for  floors  and  roofs 
(gypsum  fibre  concrete  with  steel  reinforcing)  has  long 
been  favored  for  its  permanence  and  economy. 

The  natural  advantages  of  this  construction  have 
been  further  enhanced  by  a  patented  method  which 
permits  of  more  rapid  installation  and  incidentally  may 
be  designed  for  any  required  loading  condition. 

The   roof   construction   design,   absolutely  perfect 


from  an  engineering  standpoint,  permits  the  roof  to 
become  an  integral  part  of  the  main  steel  construction — 
tht*  undersurface  providing  an  attractive  ceiling  that 
requires  no  decoration. 

Speed  of  erection,  permanence,  effective  insulation 
and  fireproofing,  plus  low  initial  cost  combine  to  make 
this  system  outstanding.  For  further  details,  please

GYPSTEEL 

Gypsteel  Plank  is  manufactured  in  two  types  and 
three  sizes,  to  meet  varying  conditions  of  service,  each 
retaining  the  same  fundamental  principle  of  design; 
namely,  similarity  to  wood  lumber  in  form,  use,  con- 
venience, and  adaptability,  with  the  certain  strength 
that  is  assured  only  by  steel  reinforcing.  Each  is  a 
solid  slab  of  factory  cast,  extra  dense  gypsum  (manu- 
factured under  the  patented  Gypsteel  Process),  made

in  a  standard,  convenient-to-handle  size,  adaptable  to 
varying  job  conditions,  with  a  minimum  of  cutting  and 
waste. 

In  one  type  Plank  is  reinforced  with  a  binding  of 
copper-bearing,  galvanized  steel,  tongued  and  grooved 
like  lumber,  that  meshes  to  form  a  steel  I-beam.  The 
other  is  reinforced  with  steel  channels  cast  within  the 
Plank.  It  is  also  tongued  and  grooved,  but  of  gypsum, 
and  the  units  are  locked  together  by  means  of  ingenious 
steel  dowels.

spans  up  to  5  ft.  0  in. 
The  tongued  and  grooved  steel  binding,  which  en- 
closes the  ends  as  well  as  the  sides,  is  a  single  piece 
frame,  locked  and  reinforced  at  the  corners.  The 
gypsum  core  is  additionally  reinforced  with  mesh.

spans  up  to  3  ft.  0  in. 
Junior  Plank  is  also  enclosed  with  a  single  piece 
tongued  and  grooved  frame,  binding  the  ends  as  well 
as  the  sides,  exactly  like  the  Senior  Plank  except  that 
it  is  of  lighter  gauge.    It  is  also  reinforced  with  mesh.

For  roofs  on  spans  up  to  7  ft.  0  in. 

Reinforced  longitudinally  with  two  steel  channels 
embedded  in  the  slabs.  Sides  and  ends  are  tongued 
and  grooved  gypsum.  Running  crosswise,  and  cast 
within  the  body  of  the  Plank  are  five  steel  dowels.

APPLYING 

Plank  is  laid  directly  over  wood  or  steel  members  of 
any  type  and  either  uniform  or  variable  spacing  up  to 
7  ft.  0  in.  on  roofs,  and  up  to  5  ft.  0  in.  on  floors.  It 
may  be  nailed  direct  to  wood  supports,  or  attached  to 
a  steel  frame  by  means  of  simple  clips. 

Plank  is  erected  zvitJiout  regard  to  joist  or  purlin 
spacing  by  staggering  end  joints.  Joints  need  not  come 
over  the  supports.  There  are  no  joints  to  grout,  forms 
to  erect,  nor  delays  from  freezing  weather. 

The  strength  of  a  Gypsteel  Junior  or  Senior  Plank 
floor  or  roof  is  in  the  meshed  steel  binding.  This  bind- 
ing forms  a  2-in.  steel  I-beam,  stiffened  by  the  gypsum 
core.  In  Dowelled  Plank  each  unit  is  reinforced  with 
two  steel  channels,  2-in.  in  depth,  running  its  full 
length.  The  units  are  "locked'*  together  by  steel  dowels 
cast  within  each  Plank  that  are  driven  through  and  into 
the  next  unit  as  each  is  erected.  Observe  in  the  de- 
tailed section  on  the  preceding  page  how  the  dowels, 
driven  into  the  adjacent  Plank,  enter  the  recess  formed 
in  the  steel  channels. 

Thus,  in  each  type  of  Plank,  the  principle  employed 
serves  to  lock  all  units  together  and  to  evenly  distribute 
loads  that  may  be  concentrated  on  one  or  more  units. 

For  floors  or  flat  roofs,  where  a  metal  lath  and 
plaster  ceiling  is  to  be  installed  below,  usually  the  most 
economical  method  is  to  use  Junior  Plank  in  combina-

tion  with  light  steel  joists.  Practically  any  type  of 
standard  finish  flooring  may  be  applied  over  Plank. 
Ordinary  double  floors  are  laid  by  simply  nailing  the 
rough  flooring  direct  to  the  Gypsteel  Plank  (satisfac- 
tory and  economical  results  are  obtained  using  lx4s, 
spaced  about  12-in.  on  centers),  and  then  laying  the 
finished  flooring  in  the  usual  manner.  Linoleum,  mastic 
tile  and  similar  flooring  may  be  laid  over  a  l/4-in.  mini- 
mum coat  of  Plankote*  troweled  over  the  Plank  surface 
by  the  flooring  contractor.  Plankote,  manufactured  by 
this  corporation,  bonds  perfectly  with  Gypsteel,  sets 
quickly  and  firmly,  and  is  easily  troweled  to  a  smooth 
hard  finish. 

For  roofs,  where  the  ceiling  side  is  exposed,  economy 
recommends  the  use  of  either  Senior  or  Dowelled  Plank 
with  the  purlins  spaced  as  far  apart  as  is  consistent  with 
the  load  requirements.  Any  type  of  standard  roofing 
is  easily  applied.  For  built-up  roofings,  follow  the 
usual  specifications  for  application  over  wood  decks, 
nailing  the  first  layer  of  paper  or  felt,  and  spot  mop- 
ping, if  desired,  but  not  mopping  the  entire  area. 
Shingle,  slate,  and  other  roofings  of  this  type  may  be 
nailed  direct  to  Plank  using  square  cut  nails  penetrating 
iy2-in. 


Plank  is  Laid  Just  Like  Lumber,  but  with  the  End  Joints  at  Random 
Regardless  of  Location  of  Supports 


Advantages 

1.  Plank  may  be  nailed,  sawed,  cut  or  bored  as  readily  as 
wood. 

2.  No  waste  because  of  laps  or  cutting;  the  shortest  piece 
may  be  used. 

3.  Easy  to  handle  and  erect;  requires  only  carpenter's  tools. 

4.  Will  not  rot,  shrink,  or  warp;  vermin  and  termite  proof. 

5.  Absolutely  incombustible. 

6.  Unusually  high  insulating  properties. 

7.  Eliminates  form  work  and  water  in  construction;  there 
is  no  waiting  for  material  to  "set."

GYPSTEEL  PRE  CAST  CEILING  SLABS 

Gypsteel  Precast  Ceiling  Slabs  are  designed  to  fur- 
nish a  flat  ceiling  of  class  ''A"  fireproof  construction 
in  steel  frame  buildings  of  any  type. 

Used  in  combination  with  Senior  or  Junior  Plank, 
they  are  suspended  beneath  the  supporting  steel,  com- 
pletely fireproofing  these  members  with  2  in.  of  solid 
gypsum,  and  making  possible  a  light  weight,  flat  ceiling 
floor  system  with  the  highest  fireproof  rating. 

Suspended  beneath  the  bottom  chords  of  roof  trusses, 
Gypsteel  Pre-cast  Ceilings  not  only  fireproof  the  steel, 
but  effect  substantial  savings  in  fuel  through  their  own 
high  insulating  value  and  by  isolating  the  normally 
unused  space  above  the  bottom  chord. 

Gypsteel  Ceilings  are  approved  for  first-class  con- 
struction by  the  building  of  departments  of  principal 
cities.

WHY  FIREPROOF  CONSTRUCTION— Because  the 
long  term  cost  is  less. 

Because,  though  steel  is  incombustible,  it  has  little 
strength  at  high  temperatures  and  will  fail  if  not 
protected. 

Because  insurance  cost  is  less. 

WHY  GYPSUM — Because  gypsum  is  the  best  struc- 
tural fireproofing  material  in  general  use  (see  Gen- 
eral Technical  Data  on  opposite  page  for  proof  of  this 
statement). 

WHY  UNITED  STATES  GYPSUM  COMPANY— Be- 
cause the  United  States  Gypsum  Company  has  for  a 
third  of  a  century  pioneered  in  the  development  of 
the  many  structural  applications  of  gypsum,  both 


poured  in  place  and  precast,  and  maintained  the 
leadership  in  this  field. 

Because  the  company  has  the  most  complete  line 
and  is  therefore  in  position  to  recommend  and  sell  the 
best  type  of  construction  for  the  particular  job. 

Because  the  company  has  twenty-eight  plants  serv- 
ing the  Engineering  Sales  Division  located  to  speed 
delivery  and  reduce  transportation  costs. 

Because  the  company  maintains  a  staff  of  research 
and  construction  engineers  specially  schooled  in  the 
economics  of  structural  design.  Their  services  are 
available  to  architects  without  obligation  of  any  sort. 

Because  the  company  maintains  a  complete  erec- 
tion organization.  The  employment  of  this  service 
fixes  the  responsibility  for  both  material  and  work- 
manship on  the  manufacturer  who  is  most  interested 
in  satisfactory  results.

DESCRIPTION 


SHEETROCK-PYROFILL  ROOF  CONSTRUCTION  — 

Consists  of  Sheetrock  undersurface  in  lengths  equal 
to  the  main  purlin  spacing  supported  on  the  flanges  of 
light  rail  sub-purlins,  spaced  32  V2  inches  on  centers 
and  clipped  to  the  main  purlins. 

Over  which  is  poured  a  slab  of  gypsum  fibre  con- 
crete (Pyrofill)  reinforced  with  an  electrically  welded 
galvanized  steel  fabric. 

SHEETROCK  UNDERSURFACE— Consists  of  %  in. 
Sheetrock,  32  in.  wide,  and  in  lengths  equal  to  the 
main  spacing  so  all  joints  occur  over  the  main  pur- 
lins. 


WEATHERWOOD  UNDERSURFACE — Consists  of 
either  V2  or  1  in.  thick  Weatherwood  Insulating  Board, 
32  in.  wide,  and  in  lengths  equal  to  the  main  purlin 
spacing  so  all  joints  occur  over  the  main  purlins. 

SUB-PURLINS— Light  rails  (or  tees)  laid  at  right  angles 
to  the  main  purlins,  spaced  approximately  32V^2  in.  on 
centers  and  clipped  to  the  main  purlins. 

REINFORCEMENT— Consists  of  a  continuous  elec- 
trically welded  galvanized  steel  fabric  (specially 
made  to  USG  specifications)  with  No.  12  longitudinal 
wires  4  in.  on  centers  and  No.  14  transverse  wire  8  in. 
on  centers. 


WEATHERWOOD-PYROHLL  ROOF  CONSTRUCTION 

— Consists  of  Weatherwood  Insulating  Board  under- 
surface (either  ^2  or  1  in.  thick)  in  lengths  equal  to  the 
main  purlin  spacing  supported  on  the  flange  of  light 
rail  sub-purlins.  Spaced  32^2  in.  on  centers  and 
clipped  to  the  main  purlins. 

Over  which  is  poured  a  slab  of  gypsum  fibre  con- 
crete (Pyrofill)  reinforced  with  an  electrically  welded 
galvanized  steel  fabric. 


PYROFILL  (GYPSUM  FIBER  CONCRETE)— Consists  of 
gypsum  stucco,  water,  and  not  to  exceed  12^2  lbs.  of

PYROFILL 


ADAPTABILITY— Whenever  steel  framing  is  used 
(whether  the  rcof  be  flat,  45°  pitched,  monitor,  saw- 
tooth, Pond,  Aiken,  etc.),  the  inherent  value  of  either 
Sheetrock-Pyrofill  or  Weatherwood-Pyrofill  construc- 
tion may  be  advantageously  employed. 

FIREPROOF — The  inherent  advantages  of  gypsum  for 
fireproofing  are  universally  recognized. 

LIGHT  WEIGHT— The  Standard  21/2  in.  slab  weighs 
only  12  lbs.  as  against  37  lbs.  for  3  in.  stone  concrete. 
This  saving  is  reflected  throughout  the  structure,  in- 
cluding columns  and  footings. 

APPEARANCE— The  flat  undersurface  with  uniform 
paneled  effect  is  singularly  pleasing  to  the  eye. 

NOTE — //  the  underside  of  the  slab  is  to  be 
painted  or  otherwise  decorated,  such  work 
should  not  be  done  until  the  waterproof  roof 
covering  has  been  applied  and  the  slab  is 
thoroughly  dry. 

ECONOMICAL— The  simplicity  of  the  construction 
plus  the  light  weight  and  the  speed  with  which  it  is 
installed  makes  either  Sheetrock-Pyrofill  or  Weather- 
wood-Pyrofill Roof  Construction  extremely  economical. 

NO  MAINTENANCE— Calcined  gypsum  is  chemically 
inert.  Examinations  of  steel  rods  embedded  for  fifteen 
years  in  gypsum  have  shown  no  evidence  of  progres- 


sive corrosion.  The  maintenance  cost  is  practically 
nothing. 

HIGH  INSULATION— Gypsum  has  the  highest  insulat- 
ing value  of  any  fireproof  structural  building  mate- 
rial. It  is  effective  in  protecting  the  building  from  ex- 
tremes of  outside  temperature,  both  in  summer  and 
in  winter. 

The  following  table  gives  the  heat  loss  through 
various  types  of  roof  construction  expressed  in  B.t.u.'s 
per  hour,  per  sq.  ft.,  per  degree  difference  in  tempera- 
ture. All  values  are  figured  with  a  5-ply  roof  covering: 

21/2  in.  Sheetrock-Pyrofill   35  B.t.u.'s 

3    in.  Sheetrock-Pyrofill   32  B.t.u.'s 

21/2  in.  Weatherwood-Pyrofill  {V2  in.  board)  .25  B.t.u.'s 
3     in.  Weatherwood-Pyrofill  (1    in.  board)  .18  B.t.u.'s 

SPECIAL  ADVANTAGE  OF  WEATHERWOOD-PYRO- 
FILL ROOF  CONSTRUCTION— Weatherwood-Pyrofill 
Roof  Construction  has  the  special,  additional,  and 
unique  advantage  of  providing  a  high  degree  of 
acoustical  absorption.  This  is  particularly  important 
in  auditoriums,  gymnasiums,  and  similar  buildings 
but  is  also  of  considerable  importance  in  many  types 
of  factories  and  industrial  buildings. 

The  approximate  acoustical  absorption  provided 
is  given  in  the  following  table:

USG  TEE  SYSTEM*  PYROFILL  ROOF  CONSTRUC- 
TION— This  construction  which  was  formerly  called 
"The  Mark's  'T'  System"  is  quite  similar  to  Sheetrock- 
Pyrofill  and  Weatherwood-Pyrofill  constructions.  The 
principal  difference  is  that  standard  32  x  36  in.  plaster 
board  or  Weatherwood  is  used  with  1  x  1  x  Vs  in.  tee 
irons  laid  across  the  main  tees  to  support  the  ends  of 
the  board.  The  construc- 
tion details  are  identical. 

USG  IMBEDDED  RAIL 
CONSTRUCTION  —  This 
construction  is  also  similar 
to  Sheetrock-Pyrofill  con- 
struction in  that  the  sub- 
purlins  and  mat  reinforc- 
ing are  the  same.  The  big 
difference  is  that  remov- 
able wood  forms  are  used, 
hung  three-quarters  of  an 
inch  below  the  bottom 
flange  of  the  sub-purlins. 
This  provides  a  uniform 
gypsum  undersurface  un- 
broken by  exposed  sub- 


Sheetrock-Pyrofill  Roof  Construction — Pouring  Pyrofill 


purlins.  This  construction  also  permits  the  fireproofing 
of  the  main  purlins  with  Pyrofill  at  low  cost. 

PYROFILL  MONOLITHIC  CONSTRUCTION— This  is 
the  oldest  type  of  gypsum  roof  and  floor  construction 
in  general  use  and  for  some  buildings  it  is  still  the 
best.    In  this  construction,  twisted  wire  cables  are 

stretched  over  the  main 
purlins  and  then  deflected 
in  the  center  of  each  span 
and  Pyrofill  (gypsum  fiber 
concrete)  is  poured  on  re- 
movable wood  forms  to 
desired  thickness.  In  this 
construction  the  cables 
(figured  by  suspension 
formula)  take  the  entire 
load  and  the  gypsum  acts 
merely  as  a  filler. 

On  a  large,  flat  roof 
when  no  exposed  steel  is 
allowed,  this  construction 
will  be  found  very  eco- 
nomical and  satisfactory.

PYROBflR  SHORT  SPAN  ROOF  TILE 


DESCRIPTION 


PYROBAR  SHORT  SPAN  ROOF  TILE— Pyrobar  Short 
Span  Roof  Tile  are  cast  in  steel  moulds  using  a  dense 
mix  of  specially  processed  gypsum  and  are  reinforced 
with  electrically  welded  galvanized  steel  fabric.  They 
are  furnished  in  three  sizes:  3  x  12  x  30  in.  solid,  3x18 
x36  in.  solid,  and  4  x  12x30  in.  hollow,  all  weighing 
17  lbs.  per  square  foot. 

The  tile  are  laid  directly  on  steel  supports  with- 
out mortar  and  with  sides  tight  together  with  full  bear- 
ing on  the  sub-purlins.  The  grouting  grooves  are 
then  filled  with  gypsum  mortar  and  the  roof  is  immedi- 
ately ready  for  the  application  of  the  roof  covering. 

SPECIAL  UNITED  STATES  GYPSUM  BULB  TEE  SUB- 
PURLINS — This  section  has  been  developed  primarily 
for  use  with  Short  Span  Pyrobar  Roof  Tile  as  a  more 
economical  sub-purlin  than  standard  tees.  The  wide 
flange  provides  ample  bearing  for  the  tile,  and,  being 
designed  particularly  for  this  purpose,  it  has  consid- 
erably greater  load  carrying  capacity  than  a  standard 
tee  of  equal  sectional  area.  The  United  States  Gyp- 
sum Company  is  prepared  to  furnish  the  bulb  tees, 
erected  in  place  in  connection  with  its  installation  of 


Short  Span  Pyrobar  Roof  Tile,  or  in  connection  with 
the  installation  of  Pyrobar  by  others,  bulb  tees  can 
be  furnished  fabricated  ready  for  erection. 

GUTTER  AND  CURB  TILE  •  DRAINAGE  FILL— 

Gutter  Tile — Curbs  under  sawtooth  sash,  etc.  re- 
straining drainage  fill  or  subject  to  roof  loads,  are 
constructed  of  3-in.  solid  reinforced  Pyrobar  Gutter 
Tile,  12  in.  wide  and  made  in  lengths  to  fit  the  struc- 
tural steel  work. 

Curb  Tile — Curbs,  above  and  below  monitor  and 
sawtooth  sash,  end  walls,  etc.,  which  do  not  sustain  a 
roof  load  or  restrain  drainage  fill  are  constructed  of 
3-in.  solid  non-reinforced  Pyrobar  Curb  Tile,  15  x  30  in. 

Drainage  Fill — The  use  of  Pyrofill  for  drainage  fill 
is  ideal  on  account  of  its  light  weight  and  the  quick 
setting  qualities  of  gypsum.  Where  deep  fill  is  re- 
quired, the  Pyrofill  is  laid  over  dry  cinders  tamped 
in  place.  The  Pyrofill  provides  a  smooth  surface  for 
the  roof  covering  and  is  an  excellent  material  for  con- 
structing fillets  and  leveling  off  uneven  and  broken 
surfaces  in  connection  with  difficult  roof  framing. 


OUTSTANDING  HDVflNTflGES 


ADAPTABILITY— Pyrobar  Short  Span  Roof  Tile  sup- 
ported on  tee  sub-purlins  is  by  far  the  most  flexible 
precast  roof  construction.  It  is  easily  cut  and  fitted  at 
hips,  valleys,  dormers,  and  openings  which  is  very 
important  for  many  roofs.  It  can  be  used  with  economy 
on  any  type  of  factory  or  industrial  building,  power 
plant,  school,  etc.  The  solid  tile  is  a  nailing  base. 


FIREPROOF— Gypsum  is 
and  the  inherent  advan- 
tages of  gypsum  for  fire- 
proofing  are  universally 
recognized.  For  proof  of 
the  fireproof  qualities  of 
gypsum,  see  page  1. 

LIGHT  WEIGHT  — The 

weight  of  the  tile  plus  the 
USG  Bulb  Tee  is  only 
about  18  lbs.  per  square 
foot  (less  than  half  the 
weight  of  3  inches  of  stone 
concrete). 

APPEARANCE— The  inte- 
rior appearance  is  neat 
and  the  unplastered  sur- 
face is  an  excellent  light 
reflector. 


absolutely  incombustible 


ECONOMICAL— Pyrobar  Roof  Tile  are  low  in  cost  and 
permanent.  The  large  light  weight  units  are  easily  and 
speedily  erected  in  any  weather  in  which  it  is  possible 
to  work. 

The  Pyrobar  tile  are  laid  directly  on  the  supporting 
steel  work  and  require  only  the  grouting  of  joints  to 
make  the  roof  ready  for  the  waterproof  covering.  This 
can  follow  immediately,  materially  shortening  the  con- 
struction period  and  making  possible  earlier  occupancy. 


NO  MAINTENANCE— Cal- 
cined gypsum  is  chemi- 
cally inert.  Examinations 
of  steel  rods  embedded  for 
fifteen  years  in  gypsum 
have  shown  no  evidence 
of  progressive  corrosion. 
The  maintenance  cost  is 
practically  nothing. 

HIGH  HEAT  INSULATION 

— Gypsum  has  the  highest 
insulating  value  of  any 
fireproof  structural  build- 
ing material.  It  is  effective 
in  protecting  the  building

HEAT  TRANSMISSION  VALUES— In  the  following  the 
transmission  is  expressed  in  B.t.u.'s  per  hour,  per  square 
foot,  per  degree  difference  in  temperature.  All  roof 
decks  are  figured  with  5-ply  roof  covering. 

3  in.  Solid  Pyrobar  Roof  Tile  41  B.t.u.'s 

4  in.  Hollow  Pyrobar  Roof  Tile  35  B.t.u.'s 

NAILING  BASE— The  3  in.  solid  is  recommended  par- 
ticularly for  nailing  purposes  because  it  assures  maxi- 
mum penetration  and  thus  the  greatest  nail-holding 
ability. 

Application  of  ordinary  slate  or  ornamental  tile  to 
roofs  up  to  60°  slope  should  be  made  with  nails  having 
not  less  than  2  in.  penetration.  When  the  slope  of  the 
roof  is  greater  than  60°  or  extra  heavy  slate  or  tile  is 
to  be  used,  refer  the  problem  to  the  Company's 


_3 

68 

Engineers  for  special  study  and  recommendations. 

The  roof  deck  should  be  thoroughly  dry  or  as  nearly 
so  as  can  be  reasonably  obtained.  Square  cut  cement 
coated  Naval  bronze  nails  have  proven  their  superior- 
ity after  a  large  number  of  tests  on  all  types. 

Application  of  sheet  metal  (tin  or  copper)  requires 
thoroughly  rigid  fastening,  due  to  the  strain  put  upon 
the  cleat  nails  by  the  expansion  and  contraction  of 
the  sheets.  There  should  be  sufficient  cleats  to  securely 
anchor  the  sheets  to  the  roof  construction.  Standard 
practice  indicates  that  the  spacing  of  cleats  should  be 
approximately  8  in.  on  centers,  each  secured  with  two 
nails  having  not  less  than  2  in.  penetration. 

It  is  standard  practice  to  use  a  sheet  of  roofing  felt 
between  the  gypsum  roof  deck  and  the  ornamental 
covering,  whether  of  slate,  tile,  or  metal.

PYROBHR  LONG  SPAN  HOLLOW  ROOF  TILE 


DESCRIPTION 


GENERAL — Pyrobar  Long  Span  Hollow  Precast  Roof 
Tile  are  cast  in  steel  moulds  using  specially  processed 
gypsum  and  are  reinforced  with  electrically  welded 
galvanized  steel  fabric.  They  are  made  SVi  in.  thick, 
18  in.  wide,  and  any  length  from  4  to  6V2  feet  to  fit  the 
purlin  spacing  on  the  job.  They  are  made  in  either  butt 
end  or  lap  joint  end  for  I-beam  or  channel  purlins  re- 
spectively, and  can  be  furnished  notched  if  required 
for  roof  thrust.  The  weight  of  this  tile  is  23  pounds  per 
square  foot. 

Curb  and  Gutter  Tile  and  Drainage  Fill  are  the  same 
as  described  on  page  6. 

OUTSTANDING  ADVANTAGES- 
CD  Fireproof — See  page  1. 

(2)  Light  Weight — See  pages  1  and  2. 

(3)  Appearance — The  flat,  even  surface  is  extremely 
pleasing  in  appearance  and  provides  a  high  light  re- 
flection coefficient. 

ECONOMICAL — Pyrobar  Roof  Tile  are  low  in  cost  and 
permanent.  The  large  light-weight  units  are  easily  and 
speedily  erected  in  any  weather  in  which  it  is  possible 
to  work.  The  tile  are  laid  directly  on  the  supporting 
steel  work  and  require  only  the  grouting  of  joints  to 
make  the  roof  ready  for  the  waterproof  covering.  This 
can  follow  immediately,  materially  shortening  the  con- 
struction period  and  making  possible  earlier  occu- 
pancy. Maintenance  cost  is  practically  nothing. 

HEAT  INSULATION— Gypsum  has  the  highest  insulat- 
ing value  of  any  fireproof  structural  material.   It  is 


equally  effective  in  protecting  the  building  from  ex- 
tremes of  outside  temperature,  both  in  summer  and  in 
winter.  Pyrobar  Long  Span  Hollow  Roof  Tile  has  the 
very  low  transmission  of  .29  B.t.u.'s.  For  complete  list, 
see  page  2. 

ADAPTABILITY— Long  Span  Hollow  Pyrobar  Roof  Tile 
are  primarily  designed  to  provide  a  flat  uniform  ceiling 
with  maximum  light  reflection  and  insulation.  They  are 
manufactured  in  lengths  4  ft.  to  6  ft.  6  in.  to  suit  the  steel 
framing,  and  5  V4  in.  deep.  The  tile  can  be  notched  to  fit 
over  the  purlin  flanges  if  desired  and  can  be  furnished 
either  with  or  without  lap  joint,  depending  on  the  bear- 
ing afforded.  Lap  joint  tile  should  be  used  whenever 
channel  purlins  are  provided.  Long  Span  Tile  are  not 
recommended  for  roofs  with  difficult  framing  requiring 
considerable  cutting  nor  where  a  nailing  deck  is 
required. 

PURLIN  REQUIREMENTS— The  tile  are  made  to  span 
from  purlin  to  purlin  (either  steel  or  wood).  No  tees  or 
other  type  of  sub-purlins  are  required.  The  most  eco- 
nomical purlin  spacing  is  approximately  6  feet. 

INSTALLATION— The  tile  are  laid  directly  on  the  steel 
sub-purlins  or  wood  framing  with  sides  tight  together. 
The  grouting  joints  on  the  top  surface  are  then  filled 
with  gypsum  mortar  and  the  roof  is  immediately  ready 
for  the  application  of  the  roof  covering. 

SPECIFICATIONS  —  The  specifications  for  Pyrobar 
Short  Span  Roof  Tile  given  on  page  7  may  be  used  by 
substituting  "Long  Span  Hollow"  for  "Short  Span." 


METfiL  BOUND  GYPSUM  FLOOR  and  ROOF  TILE 


DESCRIPTION 


GENERAL — This  is  a  gypsum  tile  that  uses  a  metal 
edging  to  overcome  the  reduction  in  strength  resulting 
from  its  reduction  in  thickness  (as  compared  with  other 
USG  decks).  This  metal  edging  is  also  depended  upon 
to  serve  as  a  cantilever  for  ends  of  tile  projecting  be- 
yond supporting  joists.  Its  success  depends  upon  the 
maintenance  of  a  perfect 
bond  between  the  metal 
edging  and  the  gypsum. 
The  units  are  2  in.  thick,  15 
in.  wide,  and  10  ft.  long. 


clear  span  of  4  ft.  between  beams,  and  50  lbs.  total 
load  on  roofs,  with  a  6  ft.  spacing  of  purlins. 

ADVANTAGES— The  construction  is  light  weight  (12 
lbs.  per  square  foot).  No  special  sizes  are  required 
since  the  end  joints  need  not  fall  over  supports. 


LOADING  — 75  lbs.  total 
safe  load  for  floors,  with  a 


Wire  Mat  ^ 
Reinforcing  /

INSULATION— Since  the 
metal  edge  extends 
through  the  tile  tending  to 
conduct  heat,  we  recom- 
mend that  14  in.  insulation 
board  be  used  over  the 
tile  for  roof  construction.

%6-in.  galvanized  rod  is  embedded  in  each  tile  so  that 
they  may  readily  be  attached  to  a  supporting  system  of 
hot  rolled  plasterer's  channels.  The  tile  may  bo  c'.- 


tached  directly  to  the  steel  or  suspended  from  it.  Girders 
may  be  fireproofed  with  Pyrobar  beam  and  girder 
fireproofing. 

ADVANTAGES— Especially  indicated  for  the  protec- 
tion of  light  steel  floor  systems,  they  provide  full  fire 
protection  and  an  economical  plaster  base  in  one  ma- 
terial. Space  for  pipes  and  conduits  is  provided  with- 
out resorting  to  heavy  floor  fills. 


HYDROCAL*  MASTIC  FLOOR  FINISH 


DESCRIPTION 


GENERAL— Hydrocal  (Patented),  a  new  specially  proc- 
essed gypsum  cement  of  great  strength,  is  utilized  in 
place  of  Portland  cement  in  this  many  purpose  mastic 
floor  mixture.  Hydrocal  is  mixed  with  sand  and  emulsi- 
fied asphalt  in  various  proportions,  depending  upon 
the  nature  of  the  work  to  be  done.  For  heavy  traffic, 
crushed  stone  or  gravel  is  added  to  the  aggregate. 

The  mastic  composition  is  poured  like  concrete  and 
leveled  off  and  finished  in  thicknesses  from  Vi  in.  to 
3/4  in.  over  the  base.  It  may  be  used  over  gypsum, 
concrete,  wood,  or  metal  floor  constructions. 


ADVANTAGES  —  Hydrocal  requires  less  emulsified 
asphalt  than  does  Portland  cement  in  mixtures  of  this 
character,  resulting  in  a  lower  cost. 

It  is  quick  setting  and  durable,  providing  a  surface 
resistant  to  dusting,  cracking,  and  wear,  even  under 
factory  trucking.  It  may  be  used  as  a  low  cost  leveling 
mixture  for  underlayment,  under  composition,  carpets, 
etc.  It  is  not  recommended  under  extreme  acid,  oil,  or 
moisture  conditions. 

The  materials  may  be  purchased  or  the  floor  finish 
will  be  installed  complete  by  the  company.

RED  TOP*  RIB  FLOORS 


DESCRIPTION 


GENERAL — Electrically  welded  bar  trusses  (see  below), 
prefireproofed  with  gypsum  at  the  producing  mills  are 
laid  directly  on  the  top  flanges  of  the  supporting  steel, 
to  which  they  are  field  welded. 

Sheetrock  is  then  laid  on  the  shoulders  of  the  Red 
Top  Ribs  and  a  Sheetrock  Pyrofill  slab  poured  in  place. 
The  ribs  are  generally  placed  25  in.  on  center  for  floors 
and  33  in.  on  center  for  roofs.  For  floor  loads  exceed- 
ing 150  lbs.,  the  spacing  is  proportionately  reduced. 


ADVANTAGES— It  will  be  noted  that  each  rib  forms 
the  stem  of  a  Tee  Beam  in  which  the  Sheetrock  Pyrofill 
is  the  cross  member.  The  loads  are  based  on  the 
strength  of  the  steel  truss  members  alone  so  that  the 
Tee  construction  represents  additional  strength  and 
stiffness,  not  considered  in  the  calculations. 

It  also  serves  to  prevent  any  lateral  sway  or  ten- 
dency of  the  rib  to  rotate.  The  enclosing  gypsum  makes 
the  slab  a  rigid  whole,  effectively  tying  the  entire  struc- 
ture together. 


FIREPROOF — This  construction  is  generally  accept- 
able any  place  where  concrete  is  accepted  in  building 
codes  and  insurance  classifications. 

It  is  unnecessary  to  use  concrete  for  fireproofing  as 
both  the  supporting  steel  beams  and  girders  may  be 
fireproofed  with  Pyrobar  beam  fireproofing  after  the 


slab  is  poured,  as  may  the  columns,  saving  additional 
weight  and  steel  costs. 

ECONOMIES — The  elimination  of  all  temporary  center- 
ing, the  fireproofing  of  the  ribs,  and  the  construction 
largely  factory  built,  makes  for  speedy  erection  and 
immediate  use  of  the  slabs. 

The  light  weight  (less  than  20  lbs.  per  square  foot) 
provides  economies  in  supporting  steel  from  roof  to 
foundation  that  will  generally  make  this  floor  construc- 
tion more  economical  for  any  type  of  fireproof  steel 
building.  In  tall  buildings,  useful  reductions  in  footing 
sizes  and  costs  are  possible. 

CEILINGS — Where  a  beam  ceiling  is  desirable,  the  cast 
rib  and  Sheetrock  panels  are  attractive  in  appearance. 
Metal  lath  and  plaster  ceilings  may  be  attached  or  sus- 
pended in  the  usual  way,  in  which  event  the  space  be- 
tween the  ceiling  and  the  Sheetrock  Pyrofill  slab  may 
be  used  for  conduits.  It  is  also  perfectly  possible  to 
embed  conduits  in  the  slab  itself  as  they  may  be 
readily  laid  over  the  ribs  and  Sheetrock  before  the  Pyro- 
fill is  poured,  making  cinder-fill  unnecessary,  reducing 
the  total  height  of  the  building  and  making  substantial 
savings  in  the  dead  load  carried  by  the  supporting 
steel. 

Where  this  construction  has  been  used,  surprising 
savings  in  supporting  steel  and  actual  slab  costs  were 
secured  over  other  structural  designs  of  equal  merit  in 
fire  protection  and  strength.

68 


DESCRIPTION 


GENERAL— 

Deck  Plates— USG  deck  plates  are  rolled  from  cop- 
per-bearing steel.  Mill  painted  in  gray.  Other  mate- 
rials on  special  order.  USG  Deck  Plates  are  18  in.  wide 
with  11/2  in.  deep  reinforcing  ribs,  6  in.  on  centers. 
Stiffening  beads  are  formed  midway  between  the  ribs. 
Deck  plates  are  interlocking  and  end-lapping  type, 
clipped  together  when  erected,  forming  an  integral  sur- 
face for  the  application  of  insulation  and  roofing  ma- 
terials. 

Clips — Two  standard  types.  One  for  fastening  the 
deck  plates  to  the  purlins  and  the  other  for  locking  the 
plates  together  between  the  purlins. 

ADAPTABILITY— USG  Steel  Roof  Decks  are  adaptable 
for  all  steel  frame  structures,  fitting  any  purlin  spacing. 

ADVANTAGES— 

Long  Life — The  use  of  copper-bearing  steel  and  in- 
sulation assures  long  life  and  low  maintenance. 

Economy — Cost  is  lowest  of  any  incombustible  roof 
deck. 

(1)  Structural  Steel  Savings  result  from  light  weight 
of  roof  unit. 

(2)  Fuel  Costs  are  reduced  through  the  use  of  in- 
sulation. 

(3)  Erection  is  rapid,  due  to  simplicity  of  design  and 
method  of  clipping.  Saddles  are  made  from  deck  plates 
and  are  easily  placed.  These  features  speed  comple- 
tion of  the  building  and  effect  economies  in  construction. 


Results  —  Clean,  sanitary  and  pleasing  interior. 
Year-round  comfort  for  occupants.  No  condensation  to 
harm  material  or  machinery. 

ENGINEERING  DATA— The  allowable  safe  loads  given 
in  the  table  below  are  based  on  actual  tests  on  bare 
plates.  Application  of  insulation  gives  additional  rigid- 
ity to  the  deck.

PYROBfiR  PARTITION  and  FURRING  TILE, 
COLUMN,  BEfiM  and  GIRDER  FIREPROOFING 


DESCRIPTION 


GENERAL— Pyrobar  Gypsum  Tile  consist  of  97%  gyp- 
sum and  3%  special  wood  fiber.  They  are  moulded  in 
steel  moulds  by  continuous  automatic  machine  proc- 
ess, which  insures  accurate  proportions  and  an  even 
distribution  of  gypsum,  fiber  and  water,  resulting  in 
tile  of  uniform  size,  weight,  strength  and  density. 

PARTITION  AND  FURRING  TILE— A  Pyrobar  tile  is 
30  in.  long,  12  in.  high  and  of  various  thicknesses  from 
1  Vi  to  6  in.  For  complete  sizes  and  weights,  see  table 
on  page  16. 

Smooth  face  tile  are  made  for  warehouse  and  simi- 
lar use  where  the  furring  and  partitions  are  to  remain 
unplastered. 

Pyrobar  tile  meets  fully  the  standard  specifications 
for  Gypsum  Partition  tile  or  block  of  the  American  So- 
ciety for  Testing  Materials. 

All  Pyrobar  Gypsum  Tile  are  trade-marked  for  the 
protection  of  owners,  architects,  engineers  and  con- 
tractors. 

COLUMN  COVERING— Column  fireproofing  is  accom- 
plished either  with  2  in.  solid  or  3  in.  hollow  Pyrobar 
Partition  Tile.  When  desired,  or  required  by  a  build- 
ing code,  the  space  between  the  covering  and  the  steel 
may  be  solidly  backfilled  with  pieces  of  Pyrobar  Tile 
and  gypsum  mortar. 

BEAM  AND  GIRDER  FIREPROOFING— Beam  and 
Girder  Fireproofing  employs  shoe  tile,  angle  tile,  soffit 
tile,  and  standard  Pyrobar  partition  tile.  (See  page 
17.) 

Pyrobar  Shoe  Tile,  which  fit  over  the  lower  flanges 
of  the  steel,  in  combination  with  Pyrobar  Partition  Tile 
for  side  protection  are  used  as  beam  fireproofing  for 
sections  with  a  flange  width  not  over  9  in.  They  are 
moulded  in  a  double  unit,  18  in.  long,  sufficient  for  18 
in.  of  beam.  They  are  light  in  weight,  easily  split,  and 
placed  with  a  minimum  quantity  of  mortar  and  labor. 
The  double  unit  reduces  breakage  during  shipment 
and  handling. 

For  rolled  sections  and  built-up  members  with 
flange  widths  of  3  in.  to  17  in.  Pyrobar  soffit  tile  may 
be  used  in  combination  with  Pyrobar  partition  tile  for 
a  side  covering.  The  soffit  tile  are  channel  shaped  to 
protect  the  bottom  and  also  the  edges  of  the  lower 
flange.  They  are  specially  moulded  at  the  mill  in  13 
standard  widths  and  in  standard  36  in.  lengths.  For 
jobs  of  appreciable  size,  special  soffit  tile  of  the  same 
type  will  be  manufactured  to  fit  any  built-up  member. 

These  constructions  provide  a  full  two  inches  of 
protection  to  all  parts  of  the  steel,  and  fulfill  the  require- 


ments of  the  National  Board  of  Fire  Underwriters. 

SET  FAST*  CEMENT— This  is  a  specially  prepared 
gypsum  cement  used  with  water  and  sand  as  a  mor- 
tar for  setting  gypsum  partition  tile,  and  gypsum  fire- 
proofing and  column  covering.  It  is  also  extensively 
used  as  a  mortar  for  interior  clay  tile  partitions  and 
fireproofing.  Its  easy  working  qualities  together  with 
the  early  strength  of  the  gypsum  makes  Set  Fast  Ce- 
ment Mortar  ideal  for  economical  rigid  mortar  joints  in 
all  interior  tile  work. 

APPROVED  USES — In  the  following  classes  of  fire- 
proof construction,  Pyrobar  Precast  Gypsum  Tile  are 
approved  by  the  Underwriters'  Laboratories,  Inc.,  and 
most  city  building  codes. 

Non-bearing  corridor  walls,  partitions,  wall  furring 
and  false  columns  and  pilasters.  Partitions  and  corri- 
dors in  merchandise  storage  warehouses. 

Fire  division  walls. 

Elevator,  stairway,  dumbwaiter  and  corridor  en- 
closures. 

Light  wells,  pipe  chases,  heat  and  vent  ducts. 
As  covering  for  columns,  beams,  girders,  trusses 
and  other  steel  members  requiring  fireproofing. 
Floor  fill,  instead  of  cinder  concrete  fill. 
Fireproof  insulation  on  concrete  roofs. 

RECOMMENDED  THICKNESS— PARTITION  AND 
FURRING  TILE— Pyrobar  Gypsum  Tile  for  furring  and 
partitions  are  made  in  standard  face  dimensions 
(12x30  in.)  in  both  solid  and  hollow  types,  and  vari- 
ous thicknesses  to  meet  Underwriters'  standards  and 
the  building  codes  of  the  various  cities.  For  table  of 
sizes  and  weights,  see  page  16. 

The  thickness  of  the  partition  should  be  determined 
primarily  by  the  ceiling  height  and  by  its  location. 
As  a  rule  3  or  4-in.  tile  is  the  thickness  used  for  the 
average  building  where  partitions  do  not  exceed  15  ft. 
in  height.  Corridor  partitions  are  generally  thicker 
than  transverse  partitions. 

Two-inch  solid  Pyrobar  Tile  are  used  for  parti- 
tions not  exceeding  10  ft.  in  height  and  for  covering 
columns,  constructing  pipe  chases,  vent  ducts,  dumb- 
waiter shafts,  etc. 

Split  and  hollow  Pyrobar  Furring  are  laid  up 
against  exterior  walls  and  securely  spiked  every 
square  yard,  loints  should  be  broken  the  same  as  for 
partition  work.  Furring  may  also  be  fastened  to  the 
building  wall  by  means  of  wall  ties  built  into  the 
masonry.  The  hollow  portion  of  the  tile  should  be 
placed  against  the  walls,  thus  minimizing  the  contact 
area  with  the  outside  walls.

Where  furring  stands  free  from  the  wall,  allowing 
space  for  pipes,  vents,  etc.,  it  is  customary  to  use  2-in. 
solid  or  3  or  4-in.  hollow  Pyrobar  Tile  to  assure  neces- 
sary rigidity. 

Free  standing  furring  should  be  anchored  to  the 
exterior  wall  either  by  dwarf  walls  between  the  furring

and  exterior  wall,  or  by  building  into  the  exterior  wall 
corrugated  metal  wall  ties  of  sufficient  length  to  span 
the  space  and  be  embedded  in  the  furring  tile  joints. 

ERECTION  SERVICE— Where  desired,  Pyrobar  Tile 
are  completely  erected  by  the  USG  Engineering  Sales 
Division. 


flDVflNTflGES 


NOTE — See  ''Why  Gypsum  -  General  Technical 
Data,  "page  i,  and  particularly  the  "Summary 
of  Gypsum  Advantages, "  page  2. 

FIREPROOF — Gypsum  Tile  alone  have  successfully 
passed  the  Underwriters'  requirements  for  fireproof 
partitions. 

LIGHT  WEIGHT— See  pages  1  and  2. 

IDEAL  PLASTER  BASE— See  page  2. 

EASILY  AND  CHEAPLY  ERECTED— The  large,  uni- 
form units  are  much  easier  and  therefore  cheaper  to 
erect  than  other  masonry  partition  units. 

PLASTER  SAVINGS— Pyrobar  Tile  are  cast  in  steel 
moulds  assuring  a  product  with  straight  edges  and 
true  faces.  This  insures  a  perfectly  even,  true  wall 
which  takes  a  minimum  amount  of  plaster. 

Experience  shows  that  plastering  over  Pyrobar  Tile 
requires  only  80%  as  much  plaster  as  over  clay  tile. 

ECONOMICAL— Breakage  is  almost  negligible.  Cut- 
ting around  openings  and  pipes  does  not  cause  waste 
as  all  the  pieces  can  be  used,  whereas  with  clay  tile 
a  full  tile  is  usually  wasted  in  cutting  even  a  small 
piece. 

Ordinarily  from  5  to  7%  less  Pyrobar  Tile  is  re- 
quired for  a  job  than  clay  tile. 


ALTERATIONS— Alterations  in  the  partitions  after 
completion  of  the  building  are  easily  made.  Addi- 
tional openings  in  Pyrobar  walls  may  be  cut  with  a 
saw,  thus  saving  replastering,  patching  debris,  and 
time. 

GROUNDS — Grounds  for  plastering  are  nailed  di- 
rectly to  the  tile.  Nailing  blocks  may  be  spiked  to  the 
tile  ends  for  the  support  of  wood  trim,  blackboards, 
etc.  Heavy  fixtures  may  be  supported  by  bolting 
through  the  walls  using  large  metal  washers  on  the 
bolts. 


SPECIAL  SHAPES — Pyrobar  Tile  are  made  in  special 
shapes  and  sizes  to  fit  all  conditions.

THE  ROBERTSON  ELECTRICAL  DISTRIBUTION  SYSTEM 

In  order  to  make  full  use  of  the  wiring  distribution 
properties  of  Robertson  Cellular  Steel  Floors,  a  set 
of  unit  fittings  has  been  devised  for  the  purpose  of 
continuing  wiring  from  the  source  of  feed  to  the  cell 
in  which  it  is  desired  to  locate  an  outlet.  One  or  more 
of  the  unit  duct  feeders  illustrated  herewith  are  placed 
for  each  type  of  distribution  desired.  The  units  are 
interchangeable,  and  access  ports  can  be  placed  on  any 
centers  that  are  multiples  of  6  in. 

The  adjustable  covers  act  as  screeds  and  are  at  the 
finish  fill  line.  The  fioor  covering  conceals  them.  They 
are  readily  identified  for  future  wiring  by  markers. 
When  a  unit  must  be  used,  the  floor  covering  is  removed 
at  the  particular  location  desired.  After  the  installation 
of  wiring,  a  floor  covering  adaptor  is  placed.  For  pages 
containing  complete  explanation,  sec  File  Index.

Flexibility  of  Use 

Robertson  Cellular  Steel  Sections  possess  the  flexi- 
bility of  use  once  belonging  only  to  lumber;  yet  they 
have  far-reaching  advantages  provided  only  by  skillfully 
designed  and  fabricated  steel.  As  proved  both  by  tests 
and  actual  installations,  these  building  units  are  strong, 
lacking  in  bulk,  flexible  in  use,  adaptable,  fire-safe,  wind 
and  earthquake-resistant,  and  economical  to  use. 

These  units  can  be  used  for  floors,  walls  and  roofs 
of  houses.  Although  originally  developed  for  use  as 
floors,  they  are  being  used  successfully  and  extensively 
on  the  West  Coast  for  walls  and  roofs.  Used  for  one, 
two  or  all  three  factors  in  the  building,  definite  advan- 
tages are  provided  by  Robertson  Cellular  Steel  Units. 

Used  for  Floors 

Construction  is  speeded  and  a  safe  floor  is  provided 
for  other  trades  as  soon  as  the  units  are  laid  in  place. 

Electrical  wiring  can  be  run  inside  the  cells. 

Excavation,  masonry  and  building  height  are  saved 
by  the  unit's  combination  of  strength  with  absence  of 
bulk. 

Being  "dry**  construction,  the  units  enable  winter 
work  to  progress. 

Any  wearing  surface  may  be  applied. 

The  underside  of  the  inverted  flat-top  units  com- 
monly used  for  residence  construction  may  be  painted 
with  oil  or  plastic  paints,  thus  eliminating  the  conven- 
tional plastered  ceiling.  This  feature  brings  the  cost 
to  a  level  comparable  with  contemporary  types  of  floor 
construction. 

Used  for  Walls 

Some  of  the  advantages  of  Robertson  Cellular  Steel 
Units,  obviously,  apply  to  their  use  for  both  floors  and 
walls  in  the  same  degree.  In  addition:

FIRE-SAFE— EARTHQUAKE  AND  WIND-RESISTANT 


70 


Little  muss  is  made  at  the  building  site  in  comparison 
with  other  types  of  wall  construction. 

Any  exterior  finish  desired  may  be  applied.  The  walls 
may  be  painted  and  given  a  very  modern  appearance; 
they  may  be  given  a  sand  finish ;  or  brick  veneer,  wood 
or  other  finishing  materials  may  be  applied.  In  the 
interior,  plastered  walls  are  made  possible  by  nailing 
wall  board  or  insulation  board  directly  to  the  steel. 

These  walls  resist  the  lateral  stress  produced  by  earth- 
quake shocks  and  are  also  resistant  to  the  force  of  high 
winds. 

Used  for  Roofs 

Many  of  the  advantages  of  Robertson  Cellular  Steel 
Units  when  used  for  floors  and  walls  are  common  also 
to  their  use  for  roofs.  Both  flat  and  peaked  roofs  may 
be  constructed  of  these  units,  which,  being  load  bearing, 
provide  an  ideal  sun  deck  as  designed  for  many  modern 
homes. 

With  insulation  and  water-proofing,  the  units  provide 
a  perfectly  weatherproof  roof. 

Being  incombustible,  they  add  to  the  safety  of  the 
home. 

Certain  other  advantages,  common  to  all  uses  of 
Robertson  Cellular  Steel  Units  are  elimination  of  the 
hazards  of  termites,  dry  rot,  warping  and  shrinking  and

Experience 

Service  and  materials  have  been  furnished  in  con- 
nection with  Republic  Slagblok  Floors  for  more  than 
  buildings. 


Construction 

Republic  Slagblok  Floors  consist  of  pre-cast  slag-concrete 
units  in  combination  with  poured  reinforced  concrete  ribs  ior 
use  both  as  floor  and  roof  slabs.         ,     -i  t.  i     n    i     ^  -.t. 

Units  composed  of  two  blocks  (see  detail  below)  placed  with 
open  sides  together,  measure  16x16  in.  and  are  placed  on  forms, 
usually  on  20-in.  centers  allowing  for  ribs  4-in.  wide  to  run 
parallel  to  the  supports  in  both  directions.  . 

The  detail  shows  the  simplest  form  of  slab  construction  in 
which  concrete  ribs  are  poured  flush  with  the  top  ot  the 
blocks.  Factors  entering  into  the  design,  however,  frequently 
necessitate  a  topping  of  concrete,  poured  with  the  ribs,  oyer 
the  entire  slab  surface.  A  monoHthic  topping  of  this  descrip- 
tion may  be  left  rough  for  fill  and  finish  or  trowelled  sniooth 
to  receive  carpets,  linoleum  or  other  finished  floor  surfaces. 

Design 

The  Slagblok  units,  made  of  slag-concrete,  are  produced 
under  a  special  patented  process  giving  them  a  high  compres- 
sive strength  and  a  perfect  bonding  quality  with  the  concrete 
poured  around  them.  In  the  design,  theretore,  the  net  area  of 
the  blocks  is  considered  as  a  structural  part  of  the  slab  tor 
both  "one-way"  and  "two-way"  construction.  The  latter,  under 
ordinary  conditions,  is  the  more  economical. 

Complete  design  information  will  be  furnished  on  request. 

Approval 

Slagblok  construction  has  been  approved  by  nearly  all  the 
principal  cities  in  the  East  including  New  York,  Boston,  Wash- 
ington, New  Haven,  Hartford,  Albany,  Syracuse,  Rochester,  etc. 

Advantages 

Plat  Ceilings— The  wide  variety  of  panel  sizes  which  may  be  de- 
signed economically  with  Slagblok  construction  .include  all  the  usual 
room  sizes  ranging  upward  to  spans  encountered  in  the  large  classrooms 
if  school  buildings  Clear  spans  within  the  rooms  are  assured,  therefore, 
bv  locating  beams  at  the  partitions.  ... 

Beduced  Story  Heiffh.tB-As  all  materials  entering  into  the  construc- 
tion of  Slagblok  floors  perform  actual  work,  the  System  will  allow  for  as 
shallow  a  slab  as  can  be  employed  for  a  given  span  Compared  to  other 
?ypes  of  construction,  Slagblok  floors  provide  either  increased  ceiling 
heights  or  decreased  story  heights  with  proportional  economies  in  masonry. 
In  a  tall  building,  the  gain  is  frequently  sufficient  to  allow  for  an  addi- 
tional story  within  the  same  building  height. 


comparison  with  short  span  construction,  by  eliminating  the  inter- 
mediary beams  and  the  corresponding  arrises  and  beam  sides  ^nd  in  com- 
parison with  ribbed  slab  construction,  by  the  omission  of  metal  lath  and 
the  use  of  thinner  plaster  applied  directly  to  the  underside  of  the  slab 
without  any  special  provision  for  bonding.  A  two  coat  plaster  gives  satis- 
factory results  on  Slagblok  ceilings. 


As  the  Slagblok  is  of  the  same  nature  and  color  as  the  concrete  ribs, 
the  finished  ceiling  will  always  present  a  uniform  appearance  when  the 
standard  requirements  of  good  plastering  are  fo'lo^ed^ 

PlexibiUty  in  Providlngr  for  Mechanical  Work— Because  the 
System  is  well  adapted  to  the  use  of  a  monolithic  finish  pipes,  conduits, 
underfloor  ducts,  etc.,  may  be  easily  installed  in  the  slab  '"corpora  ing 
them  in  the  concrete  ribs  which  run  in  both  directions  or  by  substitutm^ 
shallower  blocks  or  omitting  blocks  entirely  to  provide  additional  depth 

^^Bi^dity— The  two-way  reinforcement  of  Slagblok  floors  both  provides 
for  the  lateral  distribution  of  loads  and  forces  and  increases  the  capacity 

'^Eq'iik'f  Bes^^^^^^^  Negative  and  Positive  Moments-As  a  dis- 

tinctTve  feature  of  the  Slagblok  System  e(iual  resistance  to  nc^^.^^xe  and 
positive  moments  is  obtained  through  the  use  of  equal  wall  thicknesses 
for  the  tops  and  bottoms  of  tlie  blocks.  . 

No  Unisertainty  of  Concrete  Quantities— All  Slagblok  units  being 
completely  closed,  the  quantities  of  poured  concrete  are  independent  of 
the  consistency  of  the  concrete. 

Cost 

Installed  costs  per  square  foot  will  vary  with  spans,  loads,  etc.,  but 
compare  very  favorably  with  other  types  of  fireproot  floor  construction. 

Service 

The  Republic  Fireproofing  Company,  Inc.,  does  not  contract  for 
installation.  The  company  sells  the  Slagblok  units  and  the  reinforcing 
bars  for  slabs,  beams,  and  columns;  provides,  without  extra  charge,  all 
working  drawings  in  connection  therewith,  and  also  furnishes  such  inspec- 
tion service  in  the  field  as  mav  be  deemed  necessary  for  the  satisfaction 
and  protection  of  all  concerned. 

The  engineering  staff  is  available  at  any  time  for  consultation  regarding 
the  use  of  the  Slagblok  System  and  will  furnish  estimates  on  prospective 
operations.

SOME  ADVANTAGES  OF  "SMOOTH  CEILINGS,"  ALL  FLAT,  BEAMLESS  FLOOR-CONSTRUCTION 

For  Reinforced  Concrete  or 


(1)  The  ceilings  are  flat  in  the  construction  itself. 

(2)  No  suspended  or  metal  lath  and  plaster  ceilings 
are  required  to  hide  the  construction  and  make  the  ceil- 
ings flat.  Plaster  may  be  applied  directly  to  the  concrete 
ceiling,  with  or  without  bond  coat,  depending  on  con- 
ditions.   Cost  is  thus  reduced.

Note:    Main  ducts  for  air  conditioning  or  ventilating  systems  may 
be  run  on  corridor  ceiling  with  branches  to  rooms  at  ceiling.  Cor- 
ridor ceiling  may  be  furred  to  cover  ducts.  .  No  beams  to  interfere. 

(3)  The  ceilings  may  be  finished  or  ground  smooth 
and  decorated  on  the  concrete  without  plaster.  Cost 
may  thus  be  further  reduced. 

(4)  This  system  will  usually  save  several  inches 
in  the  height  of  each  story  because  less  height  is  re- 
quired by  the  floor  construction.  Several  feet  are 
saved  in  the  height  of  the  average  building.  Both 
construction  and  operating  costs  are  thus  reduced. 

(5)  Cost  of  forms  for  concrete  is 
very  low,  and  salvage  on  form  lum- 
ber is  exceptionally  high,  because  a 
minimum  amount  of  cutting  and 
fitting  is  required. 

(6)  Cost  of  plastering,  finishing, 
decorating  and  lighting  the  building 
is  reduced  because  beams,  girders, 
drop  panels  and  flared  column  caps 
are  omitted. 

(7)  Pipes  and  small  ducts  can 
pass  through  the  slab  around  the 
column  without  interfering  with  the 
construction.  Pipes  can  run  between 
flanges  of  steel  columns.  Columns 
can  thus  be  smaller.    See  Fig.  A. 

(8)  Load  tests  on  this  construction 
show  very  small  deflections,  good  recov- 
ery, low  stresses  in  the  concrete  and  steel. 

This  system  has  been  used  and  approved 
by  the  U.  S.  Government.  It  i^'as  used  in

purlins  or  rafters  to  form  the  roof  sheathing  or  roof  slab. 

(2)  Carries  normal  roof  loads  over  usual  purlin  spacings 
with  ample  factors  of  safety. 

(3)  End  laps  are  .of  telescoping  type  and  always  occur  over 
the  purlins. 

(4)  Side  laps  are  of  interlocking  type  with  a  complete  rib 
to  provide  equal  strength  at  all  points. 

(5)  Fully  provides  for  expansion  and  contraction. 

(6)  Methods  of  lapping  prohibit  the  flow  of  asphalt  to  the 
interior  of  the  building. 

(7)  Welded  or  clipped  in  place  to  form  a  rigid  yet  self  ad- 
justing deck. 

(8)  Forms  a  smooth,  firm,  inherently  dry  mopping  surface 
for  the  application  of  insulation  and  waterproofing  felts  which 
are  included  in  the  Holorib  Complete  Roof  Unit. 

(9)  Holorib  Complete  Roof  Unit— Is  insulated  to  prevent 
condensation,  thereby  protecting  the  steel  against  corrosion. 

(10)  Is  light  in  weight,  often  reducing  structural  require- 
ments. (One  sq.  ft.  of  Holorib,  insulation  and  smooth  sur- 
face waterproofing  weighs  approximately  5  lbs.)

string or  curved  surfaces  on  all  types  of  buildings. 

(14)  Can  be  finished  with  slate  or  shingles  or  tile  to  pro- 
vide architectural  appearance. 

(15)  Saves  winter  fuel.  Provides  cooler  interiors  in  warm 
weather. 

(16)  Saves  insurance.  Takes  fireproof  rating  when  used 
over  buildings  that  house  incombustible  contents. 

(17)  Compares  favorably  in  cost  with  all  other  types  of 
roof  construction  having  equal  advantages. 

(18)  A  long  lived  roof,  requiring  a  minimum  of  maintenance. 

The  Holorib  Complete  Roof  Unit 

The  Holorib  Complete  Roof  Unit  has  as  its  base  the  fam- 
ous Holorib  Steel  Roof  Deck,  superior  to  either  concrete  slabs 
or  wood  sheathing.  Its  triangular  rib  construction  provides 
rigidity  vvith  the  lightest  possible  weight  thus  reducing  struc- 
tural steel  costs  and  offering  a  saving  both  in  initial  expense 
and  subsequent  maintenance. 

Its  middle  stratum  is  composed  of  pressure  resisting  insu- 
lating sheets  which  prevent  heat  loss  thus  conserving  fuel  and 
providing  protection  from  summer  heat. 


WATCI^PROOFINQ  PELTS  INSULATION 


Its  outer  surface  is  long  lived  waterproofing  designed  for 
permanent  protection  against  leakage. 

These  component  parts :  waterproofing,  insulation  and  steel 
deck  have  a  natural  affinity,  each  for  the  others.  They  are 
bonded  together  and  waterproofed  by  moppings  of  roofing  as- 
phalt and  further  secured  by  Holorib  Expanding  Nails.  Thus 
united,  they  form  a  complete  roof  ;  permanent ;  proof  against 
weather,  fire  or  rot.  Condensation  on  the  under  side  is  elimin- 
ated. Specified  temperatures  and  humidities  are  easily  main- 
tained. 

The  Holorib  Steel  Roof  Deck 

Wide  Span  Holorib — Wide  Span  Holorib  is  made 
for  standard  roof  deck  construction  in  18,  20  and  22 
U.  S.  S.  gauge  steel  sheets  for  spans  of  4  ft.  to  8  ft.  6 
in.  Effective  covering  width  is  18  in.  and  sheets  are 
furnisl^d  in  proper  lengths  to  make  all  end  laps  di- 
rectly over  purlins  or  rafters. 

Each  plate  is  so  formed  as  to  be  reinforced  by  three 
self-contained  triangular  ribs  extending  longitudinally 
and  spaced  6  in.  apart.  When  the  plates  are  erected, 
the  broad  flat  bases  of  these  ribs  rest  directly  on  the 
purlins  and  are  secured  to  them  either  by  welding  or 
by  clipping.  Thus  they  provide  maximum  rigidity  with 
minimum  deflection  under  normal  loads.

Each  plate  is  formed  to  contain  five  triangular  reinforcing 
ribs  extending  longitudinally  and  spaced  3M  ins.  apart.  When 
erected,  the  flat  bases  of  these  ribs  rest  directly  on  the  purlins 
and  are  held  by  clipping.  Due  to  the  light  gauge  of  this  metal, 
it  is  difficult  to  weld  it  to  the  purlins  satisfactorily. 

Materials— Standard  Holorib,  both  Wide  Span  and  Nar- 
row Span,  is  made  either  from  copper-bearing  or  non-copper- 
bearing  steel  as  specified.  When  the  deck  is  properly  insu- 
lated, condensation  is  prevented  with  a  corresponding  absence 
of  corrosion  regardless  of  the  type  of  steel  used.  Non-copper- 
bearing  steel  can  be  used  satisfactorily  where  economy  is  a 
factor. 

(Where  specified,  copper  bearing  steel  with  from  .20%  to  .25% 
copper  will  be  supplied  at  slight  extra  cost.) 

Painting — Holorib  Sheets  are  given  one  dip  coat  of  gray 
paint  and  thoroughly  oven  dried  before  shipment.  One  addi- 
tional coat  on  the  under  side  by  the  painting  contractor  is 
recommended  after  erection. 

(Where  processes  within  the  building  are  of  a  nature  to  cause 
or  require  high  temperatures  or  high  humidities,  consideration 
should  be  given  to  special  paint  as  an  additional  factor  of  safety.) 

End  Laps  and  Side  Laps 

One  end  of  each  sheet  is  "crimped"  so  that  it  "telescopes" 
into  the  end  of  the  adjoining  sheet.  This  method  of  joining 
leaves  all  ribs  complete  with  practically  full  strength  and  af- 
fords a  real  protection  against  dripping  asphalt  in  case  of  fire 
on  the  roof  and  against  igniting  the  roof  in  case  of  fire  inside 
the  building. 

The  standard  length  of  this  telescoping  end  lap  is  2V2  ins. 
All  end  laps  are  made  directly  over  purlins. 

One  lateral  edge  of  each  Holorib  sheet  is  turned  down- 
ward to  form  a  "barge  strip"  (1  in.  deep  on  Wide  Span  Holo- 
rib, V2  in.  deep  on  Narrow  Span  Holorib). 

When  erected,  this  barge  strip  nests  or  interlocks  into  the 
triangular  rib  of  the  adjacent  sheet,  forming  an  interlocking 
side  lap  which  is  tight,  smooth  and  permanent  but  which  allows 
the  deck  to  conform  to  the  movements  of  the  material  above 
it.  Note  that  the  outside  rib  of  each  sheet  is  complete,  afford- 
ing the  same  strength  at  all  points  of  the  deck.  No  side  lap 
clips  are  necessary. 

Laying  and  Attaching 

The  erection  of  Holorib  is  simple  and  may  be  done  by  the 
General  Contractor  ,or  the  Roofing  Contractor  with  the  aid  of 
complete  installation  instructions  and  a  thoroughly  engineered 
roof  diagram  furnished  on  every  operation.  If  desired, 
Detroit  Steel  Products  Company  will  furnish  superintendence 
to  aid  the  contractor  or  the  Fenestra  Construction  Co.,  a  sub- 
sidiary of  Detroit  Steel  Products  Company  will  undertake 
erection  under  a  separate  contract  and  assume  full  respon- 
sibility. 

Where  Wide  Span  Holorib  is  used  and  where  facilities  per- 
mit, the  Holorib  sheets  may  be  welded  directly  to  the  purlins. 
This  method  of  attachment  is  pretty  well  standardized  on 
large  operations  and  is  increasingly  popular  on  small  opera- 
tions (50  to  150  squares). 

Where  Narrow  Span  Holorib  is  used  or  where  attachment 
of  Wide  Span  Holorib  by  means  of  welding  is  not  feasible, 
the  standard  method  of  attachment  is  by  means  of  Holorib 
steel  clips. 

These  clips  are  standardized  and  carried  in  stock  to  fit  most 
of  the  commonly  used  structural  steel  members.  They  have 
been  designed  to  make  erection  easy  and  "fool-proof"  and  to 
anchor  the  deck  firmly  in  place  with  an  ample  factor  of  safety 
in  holding  power. 

Insulation  should  be  applied  directly  on  the  Holorib  Deck, 
laid  in  broken  joint  construction,  in  a  full  mopping  of  hot 
asphalt.  Around  the  perimeter  of  the  roof  area,  metal  fasten- 
ers should  be  used,  spaced  about  2  ft.  apart  and  about  12  in.

back  from  the  edge,  to  hold  the  roof  intact  against  the  rav- 
ages of  wind. 

On  practically  flat  roofs,  no  other  fastenings  are  necessary, 
but  on  steep  surfaced  roofs  (pitches  greater  than  2  in.  in  12 
in.)  additional  fasteners  should  be  used;  the  number  depend- 
ing on  the  pitch  of  the  roof.  A  fair  average  is  25  nails  per 
square. 

For  Wide  Span  Holorib  on  steep  surfaces,  special  Holorib 
Expanding  Nails  and  Washers  are  used.  These  are  so  designed 
that  the  nails  may  be  driven  through  the  insulation  into  the 
deck  ribs  and  then,  with  a  sharp  blow,  expanded  within  the  ribs.

be  glad  to  furnish  information  on  specific  localities. 

Sanacoustic  Holorib 

Sanacoustic  Holorib,  developed  with  the  co-operation  of 
Johns-Manville  engineers,  is  a  combination,  in  one  unit,  of  a 
lightweight  steel  roof  deck,  with  a  sound  absorbing  facing 
which  constitutes  the  ceiling  of  the  interior,  an  efficient  heat 
insulation  and  a  waterproofing  surface  exposed  to  the  weather. 

It  is  applicable  to  theaters,  auditoriums,  gymnasiums, 
churches  or  factory  offices,  in  fact,  to  nearly  all  buildings 
where  suspended  ceilings  can  be  omitted. 

The  outstanding  feature  of  Sanacoustic  Holorib  is  the  fact 
that  it  can  be  guaranteed  to  have  70%  sound  absorption  at  a 
frequency  of  512  cycles. 

It  has  a  heat  transmission  of  only  .15  B.t.u.'s  per  hour,  per 
square  foot  per  degree  difference  in  temperature. 

It  provides  this  high  degree  of  sound  quieting  and  heat  stop 
value  at  a  cost  far  below  that  of  other  similar  materials  of 
equal  efficiency. 

Naturally,  it  has  all  the  advantages  in  roof  construction  com- 
mon to  the  standard  Holorib  Deck. 

Fenestra  Holorib  Floor  Forms 

Fenestra  Holorib  Steel  Sheets,  with  their  reinforcing  ribs 
turned  up,  are  highly  desirable  as  permanent  floor  forms  and 
reinforcement  for  concrete.  They  have  been  satisfactorily  used 
in  poured  concrete  floors,  on  balcony  steps,  mezzanines  and 
galleries,  arena  seats,  basement  ceilings,  stair  wells,  pipe  ducts 
and  trenches  and  oven  sides  and  roofs. 

Holorib  forms  become  a  permanent  and  sightly  part  of  the 
construction  and  where  plastered  ceilings  are  not  required,  the 
smooth  steel  sheets  form  clean  attractive  ceilings  at  a  real 
saving  in  cost.

Mahon  Steel  Roof  Deck  for  Every 
Type  of  Roof 

The  Mahon  Steel  Roof  Deck,  details  of  which  are 
set  forth  in  these  pages, 
offers  a  roof  suited  to 
practically  any  type  of 
building  calling  for  either 
flat,  pitched  or  arched  roof 
construction.  Mahon  Deck- 
Plates  can  be  furnished 
curved  to  fit  arched  roofs 
— minimum  radius  36  ft. 

Architects  and  engi- 
neers will  find  that  the 
Mahon  Steel  Roof  Deck 
greatly  simplifies  roof  de- 
sign, and  builders  will 
appreciate  the  ease  with 
which  the  roof  can  be  ap- 
plied. It  has  advantages  in 
structural  simplicity  which 
permit  rapid  erection  and 
consequently  lower  the  cost 
of  construction. 

The  laying  of  a  ]\Iahon 
Steel  Roof  Deck  is  one  of  the  simplest  operations  that 
you  have  ever  witnessed.    The  work,  due  to  the  ingen- 
ious design  of  parts,  can  proceed  swiftly  and  is  done 
entirely  from  the  upper  side  of  the  roof.    Every  plate

Material 

Mahon  Steel  Roof  Deck  is 
furnished  in  18  and  20-gauge,  in 
special,  tight-coated  galvanized 
copper  bearing  steel  and  requires 
no  painting  or  maintenance 
whatsoever.  It  can  also  be  fur- 
nished in  copper  bearing  steel  painted  if  desired. 

Mahon  has  established  20-gauge  as  a  minimum 
for  roof  deck  plates  as  a  result  of  exhaustive  tests 
which  indicate  this  as  the  lightest  material  that  can 

be  safely  and  economically 
utilized.  Weight  impacts 
would  be  likely  to  seri- 
ously affect  roofs  of  lighter 
gauge. 

Standard  Assembling 
Clips 

The  laying  of  a  Ma- 
hon Steel  Roof  Deck  re- 
quires only  the  installation 
of  the  steel  clips  by  which 
the  plates  are  fastened  to- 
gether as  they  are  assem- 
bled, and  by  which  they  are 
fastened  to  the  supporting 
structural  steel.  Mahon 
clips  have  been  designed 
primarily  for  simplicity, 
and  they  have  in  every 
instance  a  strength  more 
than  adequate  for  the  work 
they  are  called  upon  to  perform. 

There  is  not  in  the  design  of  the  Mahon  Steel  Roof 
Deck  any  part  which  can  work  up,  become  loose  or  in 
.'iny  way  act  to  rupture  the  insulation  or  roofing  material.

An  Integral  Unit  Roof 

Mahon  Steel  Roof  Deck  when  installed  functions 
as  a  single  steel  plate,  the  separate  units  becoming 
an  integral  part  of  one  interlocking  whole  when  assem- 
bled. A  feature  of  the  Mahon  Steel  Roof  Deck  which 
makes  for  extra  rigidity  and  strength  is  the  location  of 
all  end  lap  joints  directly  over  purlins.  The  minimum 
end  lap  is  2  in.  No  unsightly  laps  or  joints  are  visible 
from  the  underside  of  the  Mahon  Deck. 

All  plates  in  the  Mahon  Deck  lay  12  in.  wide  when 
installed,  ribs  IV2  ii^-  deep  are  6  in.  on  centers.  Every 
second  rib  where  the  plates  interlock  provides  three 
thicknesses  of  metal.  Each  deck  plate  is  locked  with 
special  clips  to  the  adjoining  plate  at  intervals  of  approxi- 
mately 2  ft.  between  purlins  to  prevent  deflection  of 
individual  plates  due  to  localized  loading.  This  feature 
eliminates  the  possibility  of  loosening  the  bond  between 
insulation  or  roofing  material  applied  to  the  deck. 

Universal  Application 

The  unusual  lightness  of  the  Mahon  Steel  Roof 
Deck  fits  it  for  use  on  buildings  of  every  type,  includ- 
ing buildings  with  unusually  long  spans,  such  as  audi- 
toriums, gymnasiums,  and  the  like.  Designers  will  also 


Mahon  Steel  Roof  Deck  Installed  on  the  Robert  Beyer  Corporation's 
Plant,  Brooklyn,  N.  Y. 

find  this  type  of  roof  deck  admirably  suited  to  factories, 
office  buildings,  hotels,  apartments,  hospitals,  and  schools. 

The  fact  that  a  Mahon  Steel  Roof  Deck  can  be  in- 
sulated to  exactly  the  degree  required  for  the  type  of 
occupancy  makes  it  an  ideal  construction  for  any  type 
of  building. 

Expansion  and  Contraction 

Expansion  and  contraction  difficulties  have  been 
entirely  obviated  in  the  design  of  the  Mahon  Steel  Roof 
Deck.  Note  in  the  center  rib  an  ample  allowance  for 
lateral  expansion  and 
contraction,  and  also  that 
longitudinal  expansion 
and  contraction  of  the 
plate  is  provided  for  in 
the  lap  joints. 

These  factors  mean 
that  bulging  positively 
cannot  occur  in  a  Mahon 
Steel  Roof  Deck,  and 
that  no  injury  to  insu- 
lation or  composition 
roofing  can  occur 
through  expansion  or 
contraction.

Monitor  Flashings 

The  projecting  ribs  on  the  plates  of  the  Mahon  Steel 
Roof  Deck  can  be  cut  and  the  sheet  turned  up  to  make 
flashings  under  monitor  windows,  curbs,  etc. 

Saddles 

On  many  types  of  buildings,  where  Mahon  Steel 
Roof  Deck  is  employed,  built-up  saddles  are  unneces- 
sary. Saddles  may  be  created  by  warping  the  roof  deck. 
This  is  accomplished  by  setting  the  purlins  in  the  drain- 
age section  at  the  desired  angle  to  produce  ridges  and 
valleys — usually  an  angle  of  i/4  in.  to  the  foot  is  suffi- 
cient. No  extra  roof  deck  plates  are  required  and  it 
does  not  involve  cutting  or  fitting.  Saddles  for  either 
sloping  or  vertical  face  sawtooth  buildings  may  be  eco- 
nomically built  from  Mahon  Steel  Roof  Deck  plates 
cut  to  fit.

Detroit,  Mich. 

Note  the  deck-formed  saddles  adjacent  to  the  parapet  wall 

This  system  of  roof  drainage  has  worked  out  very 
successfully  on  a  number  of  installations  where  it  was 
adaptable.  To  meet  conditions  where  the  aforemen- 
tioned methods  are  not  practical,  saddles  may  be  built 
from  any  material  of  a  permanent  nature — in  which 
case  we  recommend  the  application  first  of  a  layer  of 
asphalt  or  tarred  felt  on  the  steel  deck  proper,  the 
same  to  be  cemented  to  the  deck  with  asphalt  or  pitch. 
This  should  be  mopped  on  top  with  asphalt  or  pitch, 
over  which  the  saddle  fill  may  be  installed. 

Caution — We  do  not  recommend  cinders  for  sad- 
dle fill.  Hozvever,  if  cinders  are  to  be  used,  under  no

consideration  should  this  material  be  laid  next  to  the 
steel  deck.  The  sulphuric  content  of  cinders  is  detri- 
mental to  steel,  and  for  the  protection  of  the  deck  we 
would  recommend  that  at  least  two  plies  of  roofing  felt 
be  laid  with  pitch  or  asphalt  over  areas  of  the  deck  to 
be  covered  with  cinders. 

Insulation 

The  Mahon  Steel  Roof  Deck  is  a  complete  struc- 
tural unit,  and  requires  no  insulation  for  stiffness  or  rig- 
i(jity — these  factors  being  amply  provided  for  in  the 
deck  itself. 

In  the  case  of  unheated  structures,  such  as  loading 
docks,  warehouses  and  the  like,  insulation  is  not  neces- 
sary. 

In  buildings  that  must  be  heated  or  where  condensa- 
tion is  a  problem  we  recommend  the  use  of  insulation 
of  any  approved  type — amount  of  insulation  will  be 
governed  by  the  type  of  occupancy. 

Composition  Roofing 

Any  standard  composition  roofing  can  be  used  over 
the  Mahon  Steel  Roof  Deck. 

Asphalt  roofing  may  be  preferable  from  a  stand- 
point of  weight. 

Sheets  should  be  mopped  solid  similar  to  roof  con- 
struction over  concrete. 

Fire  Safety 

No  matter  what  type  of  occupancy  a  building  is  de- 
signed for,  building  codes  in  centers  of  population  de- 
mand fire  safety.  Mahon  Steel  Roof  Deck  provides  the 
utmost  in  fire  safe  roof  construction,  and  will  obtain  for 
the  owner  a  low  insurance  rate. 


Engineering  Data 
Light  Weight- 
As  indicated  before,  the 
weight  of  Mahon  Steel  Roof 
Deck  is  such  that  it  permits 
considerable  economies  in  con- 
struction. The  Mahon  20- 
gauge  deck  weighs  2.5  lb. 
per  sq.  ft.  and  the  18-gauge 
deck  weighs  3.25  lb.  per  sq.  ft. 
The  total  weight  of  roof  will 
depend  on  type  and  amount 
of  insulation  and  type  of  roof- 
ing material  used.

ratories, Detroit,  Mich.,  on  the  Mahon  Steel  Roof  Deck 
with  live  loads  of  30  and  40  lb.  per  sq.  ft.  showed  no 
permanent  deflection  in  either  18  or  20-gauge  deck. 


Diagram  Illustrating  Method  of  Testing  Mahon  Steel  Roof  Deck  for 
Deflection 

The  method  used  in  making  these  tests  is  clearly 
illustrated  in  diagram  above.  Purlin  "A"  in  diagram  is 
movable  to  test  deflection  at  various  purlin  spacings. 

Acoustical  Treatment 

Mahon  Steel  Roof  Deck  can  be  finished  with  acous- 
tical materials  inserted  between  ribs.  The  material  used 
can  be  furnished  in  various  thicknesses  up  to  P/i  i^., 
and  is  perforated  to  within  i/s  in.  of  its  entire  thickness 
with  i/4-in.  holes  spaced  H  in.  center  to  center.  ^  The 
various  thicknesses  have  sound-absorbing  efficiencies  of 
from  48%  to  84%.  This  material  can  be  painted  if 
desired  and  provides  an  effective  acoustically  treated 
ceiling  for  auditoriums,  drill  halls,  etc. 

Mahon  Steel  Roof  Deck,  with  the  same  acoustical 
material,  is  admirably  suited  for  economical  construc- 
tion of  suspended  ceilings  where  acoustical  treatment 
is  desired.

18-in.  width  of  plate.  The  ribs  are  depressed  at  one  end  to 
permit  easy  nesting,  where  laps  occur.  Laps  are  always  made 
directly  over  purlins,  and  are  not  less  than  2  in.  in  length. 

Materials — Fabricated  from  black  annealed  copper  alloy,  and 
tight-coat  galvanized  steel. 

Installation — On  installations  where  a  close  fit  to  side  and 
end  walls  is  required,  we  furnish  an  end  plate  which  is  in- 
stalled as  shown.  This  end  plate  is  fastened  to  the  adjoining 
roof  deck  plate  with  Kalon  screws.  On  all  installations  the 
walls  are  flashed  down  over  the  decking.  Purlins  are  placed, 
bridged  and  secured  to  their  support  as  specified.  The  deck 
plates  are  then  anchored  to  the  purlins  as  shown.  Roof  insula- 
tion is  applied  as  specified,  and  the  roofing  installed. 

When  submitting  inquiries  to  us  for  estimate,  stipulate  gauge 
of  decking  wanted  or  spacing  of  purlins,  and  required  live  load, 
the  net  area  of  roof,  length  of  end  wall,  and  length  of  sidewall, 
also  size,  location,  and  spacing  of  supports.  The  required  quan- 
tity of  clips  is  furnished  with  each  specification. 

Also  indicate  whether  roof  is  of  single  or  double  pitch  con- 
struction and  if  roof  deck  plates  are  to  project  beyond  outside 
wall  line  or  if  a  parapet  wall  carries  above  roof  deck  level. 
The  specific  anchor  requirements  are  determined  when  making 
the  lay-out. 

Engineering  Service — We  maintain  an  Engineering  Depart- 
ment for  your  convenience  in  estimating.  Send  us  roof  plans 
and  we  will  supply  you  with  all  details  necessary.

Advantages  UNIVERSAL 

Universal  Steel  Roof  Deck  was  STEEL 
designed  by  the  originator  and  DECK 
original  patentee  of  insulated  steel 
roof  decking  to  combine  lower 
cost,  greater  rigidity  and  greater 
ease  of  installation  with  the  proved 
advantages  of  insulated  steel  roof 
decks  for  most  types  of  roof 
construction. 

Universal  Steel  Decks  are— 

1.  Flexible— Variation  in  spac- 
ing of  sections  provides  a  means 
of  carrying  any  normal  roof  load 
at  any  reasonable  Purlin  spacing. 
Purlins  spaced  at  ten  feet  are  en- 
tirely feasible.  Any  size  hole  may 
be  cut  in  the  deck  without  addi- 
tional structural  supports,  or  sec- 
tions of  deck  may  be  given  special  strength. 

2  Strong— The  fixed  continuous  beam  prmciple  is  used  tor 
botii  sections  and  top  sheets.  Purlins  can  safely  be  spaced 
wider  without  decreasing  rigidity  or  roof  strength. 

3  Light  weight— See  Engineering  Data  for  weight  per  square. 
4*  Simple  to  install— Complicated  Engineering  layouts  are  un- 
necessary. ^  ^  , 

5  Non-combustible— Fire  Insurance  rates  are  lower. 

6!  Waterproof— Regulation  10,  15,  or  20  year  bonded  roofing 

is  applied. 

7.  Heat  Saving— Warmer  in  winter 

Recommended  For — 

Gymnasiums 
Garages 
Stores 
Schools 

Railroad  Stations 
and  wherever  an  inexpensive,  non-combustible,  long  lasting  roof 
is  indicated.  Particularly  recommended  for  types  of  construc- 
tion requiring  long  spans,  such  as  gymnasiums. 

One  of  the  best  known  and  largest  national  engineering  and 
contracting  companies  reports- "very  satisfactory  type  of  con- 
struction." ^  ^ 

A  large  nationally  known  roofing  company  reports—  En- 
tirely satisfactory  for  application  of  roof  insulation  and  built 
up  roofing."   (Originals  on  file.) 

Other  Information 

Eave  projections  up  to  2  ft.  horizontal  are  feasible.  Para- 
net  walls  need  not  be  weakened  by  a  raggle,  and  a  corbel 
^  "  is    u  n  n  e  c  e  s  s  a  r  y 

since  Universal 
Sections  may  be 
inserted  in  holes  in 
wall,  etc. 

Acoustical  treat- 
ment is  simple 
—  Any  material 
may  be  fastened 
to  the  under- 
side of  the  deck 
by  use  of  the  double 
nailing  feature.  One 
ply  of  insulation 
may  be  placed  di- 
rectly over  the  sec- 
tions. This  may  be 
desirable  for  acous- 
tical treatment  or  for 
a  more  pleasing 
architectural  effect, 
although  the  effect 
of  the  steel  under- 
side of  the  roof  is 
attractive.

Description 

Universal  Steel  Roof  Deck  consists  of  Universal  Sections  of 
copper  bearing  steel,  acting  as  continuous  supporting  beams, 
welded  or  clipped  to  purlins,  covered  with  24  or  26  gauge, 
1-in.  corrugated  copper  bearing  sheets.  Insulation  and  water- 
proofing is  applied  on  top  of  the  sheets.  Sections  and  sheets 
are  dipped  in  Universal  Rust-resisting  paint,  or  may  be  fur- 
nished galvanized,  if  desired. 

Sections  are  cold  rolled  from  one  piece  of  16-gauge  hot  rolled 
copper  bearing  strip  steel.  They  are  2  in.  deep  and  1M>  in.  wide 
over  all. 

Engineering  Tests 

Excerpts  from  the  report  of  the  James  H.  Herron  Com- 
pany Testing  Laboratories,  Cleveland,  Ohio: 

Test  No.  1— "Deflections  (under  40-lb.  load  per  sq.  ft.)  on 
both  7'  6"  spans  (end  spans)  average  .277",  while  that  of  8'  0" 
spans  (center  spans)  average  only  .112"— well  within  require- 
ments." 

Test  No.  2— "A  6-ft.  span  supported  on  rollers,  load  at  center 
— results : 

(Moment  of  inertia)— .  in.  4 

This  corresponds  extremely  close  to  the  computed  moment 
of  inertia— 1 1-1  =  .  in.  4." 

(The  section  modulus  is  the  same  as  the  moment  of  inertia 
for  this  beam.) 

Test  No.  3— '10-ft.  span— 3  beam  loading  conditions— single 
span  (both  ends  free  to  rise),  end  span  of  at  least  two  con- 
tinuous spans  (one  end  restrained,  one  end  free  to  rise),  in- 
terior span  (both  ends  restrained)— concentrated  loads  used- 
average  deflections  arc  .421  in.,  .389  in.,  and  .347  in.  respectively, 
which  are  within  (the  allowable  of)  ^  of  10  ft.  or  .480  in." 

(Complete  Herron  report  will  be  sent  on  request.)

"ANTI-HYDRO"  INTEGRAL  WATERPROOFING  AND  HARDENER 


Description — "Anti-Hydro"  is  a  liquid  com- 
pound, reacting  chemically  with  portland  ce- 
ment.   There  are  no  alums,  hydrate  of  lime, 
greases,  oils,  stearic  acid,  iron  admixtures  or 
decomposable  ingredients.  "Anti-Hydro"  causes 
cement  to  hydrate  to  a  far  greater  percentage 
than  with  water  alone  and  speeds  the  harden-  tviKutn* 
ing  of  the  cement.    The  result  is  dense,  hard 
waterproof  cement  masonry  of  increased  compressive  and  ten- 
sile strength,  impervious  to  water,  moisture,  frosts,  oils,  sugar 
solutions,  alkalis,  sea  water  and  remarkable  resistant  to  acid 
action.

Armortop,  Applied  Hardener  and  Dustproofer  for  Concrete 

Description  —  Armortop 
is  a  liquid  compound,  which, 
applied  to  new  or  old  con- 
■'■^'^  Crete  surfaces,  changes  soft 

j\M%ffjfem^J.O^    granular    topping    into  a 
-■>^w^W;j*5^  granite-like  mass  that  re- 

sists most  severe  wear  and 
abrasion  without  dusting. 
It  saves  tearing  up  and  re- 
laying old  floors  beginning  to 
rut.  The  complete  transfor- 
mation can  be  accomplished 
in  the  evening  after  closing 
hours,  by  unskilled  labor. 

Armortop  penetrates  into 
the  concrete  and  reacts  chemi- 
cally with  the  cement,  binding 
the  loose  disintegrating  par- 
ticles of  the  concrete  mix  into 
a  dense,  hard  mass,  with  per- 
manent results.  Armortop 
should  not  be  confused  with  temporary  paint  coatings. 

The  covering  capacity  of  Armortop  varies  with  the 
density  of  the  floor.  One  gallon  will  harden  from  70  to 
150  sq.  ft.  of  floor  surface. 

A  concrete  test  slab  showing  the  results  of  Armortop 
treatment  will  be  sent  on  request. 

Specifications — Upon  the  clean,  dry  floor  apply  a  solution 
of  1  part  Armortop  and  1  part  water  in  2  or  more  coats,  de- 
pending upon  the  density  of  the  floor.  Allow  4  hours  to  elapse 
between  applications. 

How  Shipped — Armortop  is  shipped  in  containers  of  5  gal., 
30  gal.  and  50  gal.

A  LEADER  IN  DAMP-PRCQFING  AND  STAIN-PROOFING 


For  over  twenty-five  years,  Driwal  has 
been  the  recognized  leader  in  damp-proof- 
ing and  stain-proofing  materials.  Specified 
by  prominent  architects  and  used  on  im- 
portant buildings,  it  has  always  given  the 
most  thoroughly  satisfactory  results.  Driwal  becomes 
effective  by  penetrating  into  the  pores  of  the  material 


Driwal 


TRADE-MARK 


and  lining  them  with  an  insoluble  substance 
which  makes  them  fully  water  repellent. 

Driwal  is  made  in  four  varieties:  Clear, 
for  limestone,  sandstone,  cast  stone  and 
brick ;  Heavy  Bodied  Clear,  a  heavier 
bodied  form  of  Clear ;  White  and  Colors,  for  stucco  and 
concrete ;  and  Black  for  below  grade  waterproofing. 


Clear  Driwal  for  Stain-proofing  and  Damp-proofing 


Clear  Driwal  is  a  colorless  liquid  which  effectively 
damp-proofs  and  prevents  the  staining  of  lime 
stone,  sandstone,  cast  stone,  concrete  and  brick. 
]t  keeps  stone  in  its  natural  condition  and  is 
entirely  safe  for  use  on  the  lightest  colored, 
finest  textured  quarry  products.    Clear  Dri- 
wal also  retards  the  absorption  by  stone 
of  dirt  and  grime  from  the  atmosphere 
and  materially  assists  in  keeping  buildings 
free  from  the  city's  dirt  and  grime. 

Specifications  for  Stainproofing — 
New  Buildings — (a)  All  stone  dust  must 
be  thoroughly  brushed  off  and  the  stone 
dry  to  a  depth  of  at  least  1/4  ii^-  before 
any  attempt  is  made  to  treat  the  sur- 
face. 

(b)  All  surfaces,  except  the  outside 
face,  of  all  cut  stone  shall  be  given 
one  saturating  coat  of  Clear  Driwal, 
preferably  with  a  flat  brush. 

(c)  After  the  building  has  been 
cleaned  and  tuck  pointed  and  allowed 
to  dry,  the  face  of  the  stone  shall  be 
given  one  or  two  coats  (optional)  of 
Clear  Driwal,  allowing  at  least  one 
day  to  elapse  between  coats. 

Old  Work—Stone— {di)  Prior  to 
application,  all  exterior  stone  surfaces 
shall  be  cleaned. 


(b)  After  the  stone  is  thoroughly  dry,  apply  one 
or  two  coats  of  Driwal,  depending  on  porosity  of 
surface. 

Old  Work — Brick — As  the  successful  damp- 
proofing  of  brick  surfaces  depends  upon  the 
type  of  brick  and  condition  of  mortar  joints, 
detailed   specifications    will   be  furnished 
upon  request. 

Specifications  for  Dampproofing  and 
Dirt-proofing — (a)  The  surface  must  be 
clean  and  dry  before  any  attempt  is  made 
to  apply  Driwal. 

(b)  The  exterior  surface  and  all  joints 
shall  be  given  two  saturating  coats  of 
Clear  Driwal,  applied  with  a  flat  brush  or 
spray.  At  least  one  day  shall  be  allowed 
to  elapse  between  coats. 

Note:  Driwal  is  not 
designed  to  lie  on  the 
surface,  so  no  more 
should  be  used  than 
is  necessary  to  com- 
pletely fill  the  pores. 
If  too  much  is  applied 
a  whitish  deposit  is  left 
on  the  surface,  which, 
however,  may  easily  be 
removed  with  a  wire 
brush  or  turpentine.

Damp-proofed  with  Clear  Driwal 


Heavy  Bodied  Clear  Driwal 

This  material  is  a  heavier  bodied  and  more  concentrated 
form  of  Clear  Driwal.  On  all  but  the  most  porous  surfaces 
Heavy  Bodied  Clear  will  satisfactorily  damp-proof  in  one  coat. 

It  can  be  used  on  the  same  surfaces  as  the  Clear,  and  be- 
comes effective  in  the  same  way. 

On  highly  porous  surfaces,  where  more  than  the  usual  num- 
ber of  coats  would  be  required,  anyway,  Heavy  Bodied  Clear 
will  fill  the  pores  more  quickly  and  more  effectively  damp- 
proof  in  fewer  coats. 

Black  Driwal 

Designed  for  below-grade  waterproofing  and  supplied  in  three 
consistencies : 

No.  1,  for  fairly  smooth  surfaces 
No.  2,  for  rough  surfaces 

No.  3,  a  paste  compound  for  surfaces  subjected  to  heavy  pressure 

White  and  Colored  Driwal 

Colored  Driwal  decorates  at  the  same  time  it  throUghly 


damp-])roofs  a  surface,  covering  old  stains  and  restoring  the 
original  fresh  and  attractive  beauty  of  stucco  and  similar  sur- 
faces. 

Colored  Driwal  becomes  effective  by  penetrating  into  the 
pores  of  the  surface  and  can  be  used  on  any  surface  where 
reasonable  penetration  can  be  secured,  but  should  not,  of  course, 
be  used  on  previously  painted  surfaces. 

Billings-Chapin-Dri-Coaf- 

Dri-Coat  is  a  white  pigmented  dami)-proof  sealer  for  interior 
walls  and  cement  floors  with  the  unique  quality  that  it  may 
be  applied  to  interior  walls  to  stop  the  penetration  of  moisture 
from  the  exterior. 

Dri-Coat  in  most  ordinary  cases  will  eliminate  moisture  trou- 
ble, but  will  not  correct  serious  construction  defects  where 
there  is  water  pressure  from  without. 

To  Specify — Not  to  be  used  over  old  coats  of  paints,  kalsomine,  or 
enamels.  Normally  dries  hard  over  night  for  recoating.  Any  paint,  flat 
wall,  or  enamel  can  be  used  over  it  when  perfectly  dry.  Covers  approxi- 
mately 350  sq.  ft.  per  gal.,  one  coat.

BRISK  WATERPROOFING  COMPANY 

Licensed  Appliers  of  Larson  Pre-Formed  Waterproofing  Units 

(U.  S.  PATENT  NO.  ) 

103  Park  Avenue,  NEW  YORK,  N.  Y. 


TO  PREVENT  LEAKS  IN  MASONRY  WALLS 


Larson  Pre-Formed  Waterproofing  Units 

Larson  Pre-Formed  Waterproofing  Units  have  been 
designed  and  developed  according  to  the  ''mernbrane" 
method  in  such  a  way  that  they  can  be  easily  and 
quickly  laid  into  and  sealed  v^ithin  the  brickwork  as  it  is 
erected.  A  complete  membrane  barrier  is  obtained  against 
water  and  dampness  throughout  the  entire  area  of  the 
wall  and  around  all  openings  for  doors  and  windows. 

Easily  Handled — Completely  Seals  All  Joints 

The  Units  are  of  such  a  size  that  they  can  be  easily 
and  quickly  handled  both  on  the  scaffold  and  as  they 
are  built  into  the  wall.  The  overlapping  joints  are  com- 
pletely sealed  as  they  are  laid  and  all  corners  are  pro- 
vided with  specially  formed  units  to  insure  a  continuous 
water  barrier  locked  to  the  standard  wall  units  at  these 
vulnerable  points. 

The  design  of  Larson 
Waterproofing  Units  is  such 
that  the  strength  of  brick- 
work is  increased  by  their  use. 
(See  illustrations.)  At  each 
header  course  in  the  face,  a 
corresponding  header  course 
laps  it  under  the  membrane 
of  the  unit  from  the  inside  of 
the  wall.  This  results  in  a 
very  sturdy  bond  in  the  wall 
and  is  easily  accomplished. 

This  system  of  zvaterproof- 
ing  is  the  only  effective 
method  that  can  be  used 
where  both  inside  and  out- 
side are  finished  brick  or 
brick  and  face  terra  cotta. 


Section  Through  Completed 
Wall 


Specially  Formed  Spandrel  Units 

Considerable  difficulty  has  always  been  encountered  in  pro- 
viding tight  joints  between  window  and  door  frames  and  sur- 
rounding masonry.  Special  units  have  been  designed  for  this 
purpose  which  interlock  with  the  standard  wall  units  so  as 
completely  to  seal  the  frame  from  all  water  or  dampness. 

Spandrels  are  protected  in  the  same  manner  by  special  units 
which  continue  the  membrane  at  these  points. 

Shapes  and  Sizes 

Only  5  shapes  are  required  to  meet  any  condition  ordinarily 
encountered.  A  standard  wall  unit  weighs  approximately  2  lbs. 
and  it  is  approximately  ISMi  in.  high  and  36  in.  long.  This 
provides  a  unit  which  is  extremely  handy  and  presents  no  diffi- 
culty when  being  placed  in  the  wall.  Units  of  special  size  and 
design  can  also  be  fabricated  to  meet  unusual  conditions. 

A  Specially  Developed  Material 

Larson  Pre-Formed  Waterproofing  Units  are  made  of  a 
specially  developed  material,  extremely  tough,  and  resilient 
enough  to  withstand  the  pre-forming  processes  and  the  handling 
and  setting  without  injury.  It  is  not  only  waterproof  but  re- 
sistant to  corrosive  action  from  either  acid  or  alkali  and  will 
withstand  all  the  chemical  processes  involved  in  the  setting  of 
cement  or  lime  mortars.  This  material  when  embedded  and 
sealed  in  the  brickwork  is  as  indestructible  as  the  wall  itself 
and  is  both  impervious  and  impenetrable  to  water.

For  Waterproofing 

All  buildings  made   of   brick,  cement,  cast 
stone,  stucco  or  limestone. 

Because  the  character  of  the  surface,  the  tex- 
ture and  the  porosity  of  cement  and  brickwork 
are  entirely  dififerent,  the  same  clear  water- 
proofing cannot  be 
equally  good  for  both. 
The  harder,  coarser 
particles,  the  widely 
varying  proportions  of 
cement  to  sand  in  the 
mix,  all  make  it  im- 
possible to  put  con- 
crete, cast  stone  and 
stucco  upon  the  same 
plane  as  brickwork 
where  waterproofing  is 
concerned.  Therefore, 
in  order  to  give  the 
best  results  upon  each 
surface  we  have  made 
two  difTerent  water- 
proofings,  each  one  es- 
pecially designed  to 
suit  the  surface  for 
which  it  is  intended. 

They  are  made  of 
natural  waxes  (waxes 
produced  by  nature  for 
waterproofing  pur- 
poses) dissolved  in  pen- 
etrating solvents  that 
carry  the  waxes  deeply 
into  the  pores  of  the 
brick  or  cement  work  and  seal  them,  rendering  the  surfaces 
permanently  rainproof.  They  have  been  in  constant  and  suc- 
cessful use  for  more  than  forty  years. 

Cabot's  Clear  Brick  Waterproofing 

For  All  Red  Brickwork,  Sandstone  and  Similar  Dark 
Porous  Surfaces 

Proved  by  test  to  be  three  times  as  waterproof  as  linseed 
oil,  and  as  it  does  not  oxidize  and  deteriorate  with  age  it  is 
infinitely  more  economical  than  linseed  oil,  paraffin  and  var- 
nish compounds  that  do  oxidize  and  must  be  done  over  every 
two  or  three  years.  Clear  Brick  Waterproofing  is  colorless 
when  applied  to  red  or  other  dark  brick  or  sandstone,  but 
should  not  be  used  on  white,  gray  or  yellow  brick,  or  on 
cement,  stucco  or  limestone. 

Prevention  of  Efflorescence— The  white  efflorescence  on 
brickwork  is  due  to  the  dissolving  of  the  salts  of  the  clay  by 
absorbed  rain  water  and  their  being  carried  to  the  surface  when 
the  water  dries  out.  By  thoroughly  waterproofing  the  bricks 
the  Clear  Brick  Waterproofing  prevents  the  leaching  out  of 
these  salts. 

Cabot's  Clear  Cement  Waterproofing 

For  Stucco,  Cast  Stone,  Concrete  and  Other  Light,  Porous 
Surfaces 

This  waterproofing  is  transparent  so  as  not  to  darken  light 
surfaces. 

It  fills  and  seals  all  voids  in  cement  and  stucco  walls.  Cabot's 
Clear  Cement  Waterproofing  is  applied  after  the  wall  is  fin- 
ished and  is  not  an  integral  waterproofing.  Consequently,  it 
seals  the  entire  surface  while  integral  waterproofings,  being 
mixed  with  the  water  of  the  cement,  cannot  of  course  fill  the 
voids  that  are  left  when  the  water  of  the  mix  dries  out.

Waterproofed  with  Cabot's  Clear  Brick 
Waterproofing 


On  Cast-Stone — An  important  and  ever  in- 
creasing use  for  Cabot's  Clear  Cement  Water- 
proofing is  to  waterproof  cast-stone.  Cabot's 
Waterproofing  has  made  possible  the  use  of 
cast-stone  in  large,  beautiful  and  permanent 
structures,  waterproofing  the  entire  structure, 
reducing  its  natural  tendency  to  stain,  increas- 
ing the  life  of  the  material  and  shutting  out  all 
dampness  from  the  interior. 

Six  Advantages  of  Cabot's  Clear  Brick  and 
Clear  Cement  Waterproofings 

(1)  They  conserve  the  health  of  the  build- 
ing's occupants  by  shutting  out  dampness. 

(2)  They  keep  the  building  warmer  in  winter  and  cooler  in 
summer  because  there  is  no  water  in  the  walls  to  act  as  a 
heat  conductor. 

(3)  The  waterproofed  wall  surface  will  not  disintegrate  and 
crumble.  (A  damp  wall  in  a  cold  climate  is  constantly  freezing 
and  thawing  all  winter.) 

(4)  They  prevent  unsightly  saline  efflorescence  on  brick 
buildings. 

(5)  The  building  is  lighter  because  there  is  no  huge  weight- 
increase  through  absorbed  water. 

(6)  Interior  plaster,  wallpaper,  woodwork  and  hangings  are 
preserved  because  the  dampness  is  shut  out. 


Architect's  Specifications  for 
Application  of  Cabot's 
Waterproofings 

Ca'bot's  Clear  Brick  Waterproof- 
ing"— All  exterior  red  or  dark  brick 
walls,  or  sandstone,  including  joints, 
shall  be  waterproofed  with  Cabot's  Clear 
Brick  Waterproofing.  Apply  only  to 
structurally  sound,  clean,  dry  surfaces 
with  a  brush,  like  paint,  or  with  a  spray 
gun.  Two  coats  are  usually  sufficient 
but  not  more  should  be  applied  than 
the  brick  and  joints  will  absorb,  and 
no  coating  should  remain  on  the  sur- 
face. 

Covering  Capacity:  1  gal.  will  cover 
from  200  to  300  sq.  ft.,  two  coats,  on 
common  brick  of  average  quality,  and 
from  300  to  400  sq.  ft.  on  face  brick. 

Cabot's  Clear  Cement  Water- 
proofingr — All  exterior  (concrete)  (cast- 
stone)  (stucco)  (limestone)  (light  col- 
ored brick)  surfaces,  including  joints, 
shall  be  waterproofed  with  Cabot's  Clear 
Cement  Waterproofing.  Apply  only  to 
structurally  sound,  clean,  dry  surfaces 
with  a  brush,  like  paint,  or  with  a 
spray  gun. 

Only  as  much  waterproofing  shall  be 
applied  as  is  necessary  to  fill  all  pores, 
and  no  more;  but,  if  the  surface  is  not 
uniform  and  some  parts  are  more 
porous  than  others,  care  should  be 
taken  to  apply  sufficient  waterproofing 
to  fill  all  places.  No  coating  should 
remain  on  the  surface. 

Covering  Capacity:  1  gal.  will  cover 
from  200  to  300  sq.  ft.,  two  coats,  on 
smooth  concrete,  brick  or  stone,  and 
from  100  to  200  sq.  ft.,  two  coats,  on 
stucco  or  rough  cast,  depending  upon 
character  and  condition  of  the  surface. 

Prevention  of  Efflorescence — All 
brick  walls,  on  which  efflorescence  of 
salts  or  mortar  stains  have  appeared, 
shall  be  washed  with  a  weak  muriatic 
solution,  following  which  the  surface 
shall  be  rinsed  with  clean  water  and 
allowed  to  dry.  Cabot's  Clear  Brick 
Waterproofing  shall  then  be  applied 
with  a  brush  like  paint,  or  with  a  spray 
gun.  Only  as  much  waterproofing  shall 
be  applied  as  is  necessary  to  fill  all  the 
pores  and  no  coating  should  remain  on 
the  surface.

-26  North  Martha  Street 
PHILADELPHIA,  PA. 


Products 

Calbar  **Caulk-0-Seal''  (Reg. 
U.  S.  Pat.  Off.)»  Non-staining 
Caulking,  Pointing  and  Glazing 
Compound. 

Also  Calbar  Industrial  and  Tech-

Calbar  Caulk-O-Seal  Non-staining  Caulking,  Glazing 
and  Pointing  Compound 

The  necessity  for  a  material  having  an  elastic  na- 
ture for  sealing  cracks,  waterproofing  and  glazing, 
prompted  us  some  years  ago  to  devote  a  large  amount 
of  time,  money  and  eflfort  to  produce  a  product 
that  would  fill  every  requirement  for  varying  con- 
ditions. After  several  years  of  constant  experi- 
ments and  gradual  improvements  we  developed  a 
compound  which  was  considered  the  acme  of  perfec- 
tion. Time  has  proven  that  our  product  is  just  rigit. 
Each  feature  has  been  carefully  tested  and  we  offer 
those,  who  are  interested  in  a  caulking  compound  of 
exceptional  merits,  Calbar  Caulk-O-Seal  Plastic  Com- 
pound. 

The  saving  of  fuel  from  air  leakage  is  an  economic 
necessity.  Heating,  ventilating  and  air  conditioning  of 
buildings  can  not  be  controlled  while  there  are  cracks 
around  doors  and  windows  and  other  openings  where 
air  in  unregulated  amounts  can  enter.  Of  course,  there 
are  other  things  to  consider  also.  Such  openings  allow 
dirt,  dampness  and  deterioration  to  get  in  their  work. 
It  is  well  recognized  at  the  present  time  that  all  build- 
ings, from  the  modest  two-story  home  to  the  highest 
skyscraper,  require  caulking.  The  cost  is  low  and  the 
benefit  is  great. 

Caulk-O-Seal— Permanently  Plastic  Compound 

Caulk-O-Seal  is  a  permanently  plastic  compound  that 
is  impervious  to  heat,  cold,  moisture  and  fumes.  It 
dries  with  a  tough  surface  hide  which  can  be  painted 
over  without  bleeding  through.  Beneath  the  surface  it 
remains  plastic  and  pliable  for  years,  taking  up  expan- 
sion or  contraction  of  adjoining  surfaces.  Vibration 
does  not  harm  it.  It  is  strictly  a  waterproof  product. 
It  adheres  firmly  and  tenaciously  to  any  surface, 
whether  glass,  marble,  tile,  brick,  concrete,  wood,  steel, 
limestone,  etc. 

Caulk-O-Seal — Non-staining  Compound 

Caulk-O-Seal  is  a  truly  non-staining  compound.  This 
feature  is  of  extreme  importance  and  we  suggest  that 
it  be  considered  carefully.  It  will  not  stain  the  sur- 
rounding surface  adjacent  to  the  place  applied.  This 
is  a  distinctive  feature  of  our  product  and  worthy  of 
consideration.  Many  beautiful  buildings,  of  limestone 
and  marble  construction  principally,  have  been  marred 
by  the  use  of  a  compound  which  exudes  liquid.  The 
liquid  is  required  as  it  is  the  life  of  the  compound.  If 
it  bleeds  out,  its  life  is  lessened.    It  will  be  a  revelation 


to  you  to  make  a  few  simple  tests 
with  Caulk-O-Seal.  Samples  will  be 
furnished  to  demonstrate  its  non- 
staining  quality. 

Method  of  Application 

The  method  of  application  advo- 
cated by  us  is  by  the  use  of  a  hand 
caulking  gun.  We  furnish  a  light,  powerful  gun, 
easily  operated  and  capable  of  developing  a  high  pres- 
sure. Caulk-O-Seal  is  the  proper  consistency  and  is 
easily  forced  to  the  required  depth  in  an  opening.  A 
canvass  of  caulking  contractors  proves  conclusively 
that  the  use  of  a  hand  gun  saves  labor  costs  and 
does  the  work  properly,  making  a  smooth,  even,  exte- 
rior finish. 

Caulk-O-Seal— Gun  Grade  or  Knife  Grade 

Caulk-O-Seal  is  supplied  in  Gun  Grade  (for  use  with 
caulking  gun)  and  in  Knife  Grade  (for  use  with  a  putty 
knife  or  caulking  tool).  Made  in  white,  gray,  limestone, 
buff,  natural,  green,  red,  maroon  and  black.  Special  colors 
made  to  order  in  any  quantity.  Packed  in  all  sized  con- 
venient containers.  One  gallon  of  Gun  Grade  will  caulk 
about  150  lineal  feet  of  an  opening,  ^4  in.  wide  and 
1/2  in.  deep.  Seventeen  lbs.  of  Knife  Grade  is  equiva- 
lent to  one  gallon  of  Gun  Grade. 

Caulking  Around  Window  and  Door  Frames 

In  new  construction,  it  is  recommended  that  the  com- 
pound be  applied  between  the  frame  proper  and  the 
masonry.  When  spaces  are  deeper  than  1/2  in.,  they 
should  be  packed  within  1/0  in.  of  the  surface  with 
oakum  and  the  remaining  space  completely  filled  with 
Caulk-O-Seal.    The  staff  bead  is  then  put  in  place. 

Pointing  Stonework,  Terra  Cotta,  Copings,  etc. 

All  joints  should  be  raked  back  to  a  depth  of  1/2  in. 
and  filled  in  with  Caulk-O-Seal. 

Glazing 

For  embedding  and  glazing  glass  in  wood  or  metal 
sash  or  skylights,  use  the  same  as  putty.  The  elasticity 
of  Caulk-O-Seal  prevents  glass  from  breaking  due  to 
vibration  or  contraction  and  expansion. 

Guarantee 

Caulk-O-Seal  when  applied  as  directed  under  usual 
conditions  will  give  exceptionally  satisfactory  service 
and  last  for  a  number  of  years.  Many  installations  are 
still  in  perfect  condition  after  ten  years. 

References 

Many  important  buildings  have  been  caulked  with 
Caulk-O-Seal,  including  schools,  hospitals,  apartment 
houses,  churches,  public  buildings,  hotels,  United  States 
Government  buildings,  and  industrial  plants. 

Contractors  approved  by  us  are  available  in  principal 
cities  of  the  United  States.

Specifications — Pointing  Up  Stone,  Terra  Cotta  and 
Flashings — The  joints  shall  be  cleaned  out  thoroughly,  and 
painted  with  Kuhls'  Elastic  Joint  Paint.  The  joints  shall  then 
be  filled  with  Kuhls'  Elastic  Pointing  Up  Composition  with 
a  pointing  tool,  knife  or  gun.  Colors  can  be  obtained  to  match 
the  stone  or  terra  cotta. 

Note:  The  Elastic  Joint  Paint  should  always  be  used  in  the  joints 
first,  as  it  is  especially  prepared  to  prevent  absorption  of  the  oil  in  the 
l;lastic  Pointing  Up  Composition  by  the  adjoining  materials. 

Pointing  Joints  in  Copings,  Tops  of  Cornices  or  Other 
Projecting  Courses  in  Stone  or  Terra  Cotta  Work — The 

cross  joints  of  all  coping  courses,  tops  of  cornices  or  other 
projecting  courses  in  stone  or  terra  cotta  work  shall  be  raked 
out  clean  of  all  portland  cement  mortar  for  a  depth  of  at  least 
•/4  in.  Sides  of  joints  shall  then  be  thoroughly  painted  with 
one  or  two  coats  of  Kuhls'  Elastic  Joint  Paint  (manufactured 
by  H.  B.  Fred  Kuhls,  Third  Avenue  and  65th  Street,  Brooklyn, 
N.  Y.)  or  until  the  surface  shows  a  gloss.  The  joints  shall  then 
be  filled  with  Kuhls'  Elastic  Pointing  Up  Composition  thor- 
oughly worked  and  pressed  into  the  joint,  to  fill  the  entire  joint, 
and  shall  be  neatly  finished  flush  with  adjoining  surface.  Color 
of  Kuhls'  Elastic  Pointing  Up  Composition  shall  be  of  the  color 
as  selected  by  the  architect. 

Kuhls'    Elastic  Seam   Composition   for  Expansion 
Joints 

Especially  adapted  when  used  with  Kuhls'  Elastic 
Joint  Paint  for  expansion  joints  in  promenade  roofing 
tile,  swimming  pools,  concrete  work,  all  joints  on  a 
horizontal  plane,  etc.  It  has 
been  successfully  used  on 
the  terraces  of  the  Capi- 
tol at  Washington,  Army 
P)ase  in  Brooklyn,  Rocke- 
feller Radio  City,  New  York 

City,  and  for  other  prominent  buildings,  bridges,  railroad 
work,  etc.  Exposure  to  sudden  and  extreme  changes  of 
temperature,  as  well  as  movement  and  vibration,  does 
not  afifect  it.  It  will  remain  elastic  and  stick  to  the  sides 
of  the  joints  for  many  years.  The  joint  must  always  be 
])ainted  with  Kuhls'  Elastic  Joint  Paint  before  applying 
the  Elastic  Seam  Composition  in  order  to  secure  the 
best  results. 

Specifications — Expansion  joints  shall  be  provided  in 
])romcnade  tile  roofing  where  noted  on  drawings.  All  expan- 
sion joints  shall  be  cleaned  out  down  to  the  waterproofing 
course.  After  this,  one  or  two  coats  of  Kuhls'  Elastic  Joint 
Paint  shall  ])e  applied,  or  until  the  surface  of  the  joint  shows 
a  gloss.  Then  the  joint  shall  be  pointed  up  with  Kuhls'  Elastic 
Scam  Composition,  thoroughly  working  the  material  into  the 
joint  to  fill  the  space.  Finish  shall  be  left  crowned  above  the 
adjoining  surfaces.

W.  H.  LOOM  IS  TALC  CORPORATION 

Manufacturers  of  "LOOMITE"  for  Improving  Concrete 

GOUVERNEUR,  N.  Y. 


LOOMITE  FOR 
CONCRETE— MORTAR— PLASTER— STUCCO 


"Loomite'*  is  a  finely  subdivided  aggregate  contain- 
ing about  10%  calcium  silicate  having  a  hardness  of 
4.5-5,  specific  gravity  2.85-3,  and  a  melting  point  of 
°  F.,  is  chemically  inert,  and  not  acted  upon  by 
ordinary  acids  or  alkalis. 

In  concrete  and  mortar,  its  function  is  mechanical, 
as  is  that  of  sand,  but  owing  to  its  extreme  fineness 
and  slip,  it  makes  a  very  fat  or  plastic  paste  w^ith  ce- 
ment and  sand  and  may  properly  be  regarded  as  an- 
other aggregate. 


In  the  preparation  of  ''Loomite"  it  is  ground  to  such 
a  degree  of  fineness  that  98%  passes  the  325-mesh 
sieve.  It  is  air  floated  to  insure  uniformity.  Some  of 
the  high  early  strength  cements  approach  this  degree 
of  fineness  but  the  average  particle  size  of  ''Loomite" 
being  less  than  that  of  cement  itself,  insures  a  better 
bond  with  the  coarser  aggregates  and  a  more  imper- 
vious concrete. 

There  is  also  an  increase  in  the  volume  of  finished 
concrete  of  2  to  5%. 


THE  EFFECT  OF  "LOOMITE"  ON  CONCRETE 


Workability 

In  Loomconcrete  (concrete  with  "Loomite"  added) 
the  coarse  aggregates  are  held  in  suspension.  It  will 
flow  in  place  at  a  flatter  angle  for  longer  distances  than 
plain  concrete  without  excess  water  or  segregation,  and 
a  greater  yardage  can  be  handled  in  the  same  time  at 
less  cost  per  yard. 

The  greater  flowability  of  Loomconcrete  permits  an 
increased  upward  flow  of  the  mass  that  insures  a 
better  contact  on  the  underside  of  structural  steel  than 
is  usual  with  plain  concrete. 


the  other  aggregates  used  in  concrete  or  mortar,  a  very 
dense  cement  paste  is  formed  which  resists  the  free 
passage  of  water. 

"Loomite"  is  not  an  organic  substance  nor  does  it 
depend  on  chemical  action  or  solubility  for  its  water- 
proofing and  fattening  eflfect. 

Setting 

Loomite  lowers  the  temperature  of  the  mix,  slightly 
increasing  the  time  of  set,  a  favorable  feature  in  mass 
concrete  where  unequal  setting  would  cause  cracking. 


Mortar— Plaster — Stucco 

Mortar  mixed  in  propor- 
tions— one  part  of  cement, 
one  part  of  ''Loomite"  by 
volume — and  sand  in  pro- 
portion desired  for  mortar, 
plaster  or  stucco  will  give 
a  plasticity,  bond  and  acid- 
resistant  mortar  of  in- 
creased strength  over  the 
standard  mortar  mix.  There 
is  no  efflorescence  from 
Loommortar.

Resistance 

The  addition  of  "Loom- 
ite" to  the  fine  aggregates 
results  in  a  dense,  hard 
finished  concrete.  Because 
of  the  chemical  inertness 
of  the  "Loomite"  itself,  it 
greatly  increases  the  resist- 
ance to  acids  and  alkalis 
(sea  water)  and  because  of 
its  heat-resisting  qualities, 
tends  to  eliminate  spalling 
of  concrete  due  to  exposure

Compressive  Strength 

It  has  been  determined  by  careful  study  and  experi- 
ment over  a  period  of  years  that  the  use  of  "Loomite" 
as  an  additional  aggregate  in  concrete  increases  worka- 
bility, prevents  segregation,  waterproofs,  improves  fire 
resistance  and  retards  the  corrosive  action  of  acids  and 
alkalis,  and  does  not  impair  the  strength  of  concretes  or 
mortars  in  which  it  is  incorporated.  Actually  there  is 
an  increase  in  strength  over  plain  portland  cement  con- 
crete and  mortar  which  is  incidental  to  the  denser  struc- 
ture and  closer  bond  of  the  aggregates. 

When  ''Loomite"  is  used  with  portland  cement  the 
compressive  strength  is  in- 
versely proportional  to  the 
ratio  W-f-(C  +  L)  rather 
than  the  direct  ratio  W-^C. 
In  the  case  of  stiff  mixes, 
it  is  necessary  to  allow  for 
the  absorption  of  ''Loom- 
ite"  (about  40%  by  weight 
of  the  'Toomite")  but  in 
the  case  of  soupy  mixes  no 
extra  water  is  needed.  In 
fact,  the  water  may  be  re- 
duced and  still  produce  a 
more  workable  concrete.

Chart  Showing  Increase  of  Density  of  Concrete  by  Use  of  "Loomite' 


Increases  Density 

The  curve  at  the  left  shows  that  the  density  of  Loom- 

  concrete,  in  pounds  per  cu. 

ft.,  increases  in  proportion 
to  the  amount  of  Loomite 
used  up  to  10  lbs.  per  bag 
of  cement.  This  increased 
density  is  important  in 
highways,  garage  floors, 
etc.  The  sand  grains  are 
held  in  place  by  the  "Loom- 
ite" and  have  to  be  worn 
down  instead  of  being  dis- 
lodged in  traffic.  This  den- 
sity resists  penetration  of 
motor  oils. 


20 


DIRECTIONS  FOR  THE  USE  OF  "LOOMITP^  IN  CONCRETE 

From  5  to  15  lbs.  of  ''Loomite"  per  bag  of  cement 
depending  on  the  grading  of  the  aggregates  and  the 
use  for  which  it  is  intended  is  all  that  is  required  to 
produce  the  desired  results.  The  volume  of  ''Loomite" 
also  is  somewhat  dependent  upon  the  richness  of  the 
mix. 


"Loomite"  is  another  aggregate  and  should  be  intro- 
duced into  the  mix  either  before  or  with  the  cement. 
There  need  be  no  greater  attention  given  to  it  than  is 
given  to  any  of  the  other  aggregates.  Because  of  its 
chemical  inertness,  it  is  absolutely  harmless  to  those 
who  handle  it.

condition  for  which  Waterproofing, 
Dampproofing,  Caulking,  or  Surface 
Protection  may  be  required.  This  group  of  products, 
some  thirty  individual  materials,  has  been  gradually 
evolved  during  the  thirty  years  this  Company  has 
specialized  in  this  field.  The  more  important  are  listed 
in  the  following  paragraphs. 


MINWAX 


Engineering  Service 

^  Our  experience  ccjuips  us  with  a  special 
engineering  knowledge  on  the  application 
of  our  product,  which  we  offer  without 
reservations,  to  those  seeking  satisfactory  results.  We 
are  in  a  position  to  recommend  experienced,  responsible 
organizations  who  specialize  in  the  application  of  Min- 
wax  products.  We  have  representatives  in  the  principal 
cities ;  for  address  consult  your  local    directory. 


Minwax  Membrane  Waterproofing 

The  Minwax  Company,  Inc.,  originated  the  elastic  cotton 
fabric  system  of  membrane  waterproofing  and  for  the  past  thirty 
years  have  been  the  leading  producer  of  both  Saturated  Fabrics 
and  Waterproofing  Asphalt.  Recommendations  and  specifica- 
tions on  request. 

Minwax  Expansion  Joint  Cement 

Minwax  Vault  Light  Cement  has  been  an  outstanding  and 
efficient  material  for  over  twenty-five  years  as  an  elastic  filler 
for  roof  joints,  sidewalk  joints,  swimming  pools,  etc.  It  is 
poured  hot  and  is  black  in  color. 

Waterproofing  for  Walls  Above  Grade 

New  Buildings — We  recommend  centralizing  responsibility 
by  specifying  under  one  heading  all  work  necessary  to  assure 
weatherproof  walls.  Minwax  materials  cover  all  requirements 
in  such  a  plan:  (a)  Waterproof  cut-ofifs  under  copings  or 
parapets,  over  window  heads  and  at  spandrels;  (2)  Dampproof- 
ing inside  of  outside  wall  surfaces  under  plaster;  (c)  Elastic 
Caulking  around  windows,  in  copings,  cornice,  water-table  and 
similar  masonry  joints;  (d)  Transparent  Waterproofing  for 
severe  exposures,  stone  protection,  etc.  Recommendations  on 
specific  projects  gladly  furnished. 

Minwax  Asphalt  Dampproofing 

Made  from  Minwax  Waterproofing  Asphalt  and  chemically 
inert  solvents  in  three  consistencies :  Spray  Coat,  Fibrous 
Brush  Coat  and  Trowel  Coat.  Apply  two  spray  or  brush  coats 
or  one  trowel  coat. 

Caution:  Not  recommended  for  concrete  ceilings  or  under 
cement  plaster. 

Note:  We  also  produce  emulsified  type  Minwax  Bituloid. 

Minwax  Spandrel  Waterproofing 

A  through-the-wall  flashing  or  waterproofing  cut-off  con- 
structed either  with  Alinwax  Cotton  Cord  Cloth  and  two  coats 
of  Trowel  Coat  Dampproofing  or  with  Minwax  Pull  Seal  Fabric 
which  is  impervious  in  itself.  Details  and  specifications  on 
request. 

Minwax  Caulking  Materials 

Minwax  Caulking  Compounds  are  designed  for  sealing  joints 
around  window  or  door  frames  to  prevent  the  penetration  of 
moisture  or  air;  also  for  an  elastic  weatherproof  seal  for  any 
masonry  joints,  particularly  in  extending  members  such  as  cap- 
stones, copings,  cornices,  balustrades,  belt  courses,  water-tables, 
etc.  They  are  easily  applied  with  either  a  hand  tool,  hand  gun 
or  power  gun,  either  on  new  work  or  old.  After  placing,  a 
tough  smooth  skin  forms  under  which  the  materials  remain 
plastic  almost  indefinitely.  They  are  absolutely  unaffected  by 
conditions  of  heat,  cold,  smoke  or  fumes  to  which  they  may 
be  exposed  in  building  construction.  They  bond  perfectly  to 
wood,  stone,  steel,  glass  or  other  building  material. 

There  are  two  types  of  material : 

Minwax  Caulking  Compound — Is  made  in  three  standard 
colors  — Cream  white.  Limestone  Gray  and  Buff.  Special 
colors  extra.     It  is   recommended   for  all  locations  where

Minwax  Asphalt  Caulking  Compound 


an  elastic  caulking  of  light 
color  or  one  to  take  paint 
is  desired.  It  is  made  in 
two  consistencies :  No.  1 
(soft),  for  gun  application 
only;  No.  2  (heavy)  for 
knife,  hand  tool  or  gun  ap- 
plication. 

Minwax  Asphalt  Caulk- 
ing Compound — Is  made  in 
black  only  and  is  recom- 
mended for  industrial  work 
or  for  surfaces  where  dark 
color  is  satisfactory.  It  can- 
not be  satisfactorily  painted 
over.  It  is  non-staining  and 
can  be  used  against  limestone 
and  similar  surfaces.  Made 
in  one  consistency  suitable  for 
hand  or  gun  application. 

Minwax  Caulking  Guns — 
We  can  furnish  efficient  pow- 
erful caulking  guns  which 
assure  rapid,  economical  ap- 
plication of  our  materials. 

Specifications — This  con- 
tractor shall  caulk  all  exterior 
door  and  window  frames 
throughout,  both  wood  and 
metal.  All  joints  between  the 
wood  or  metal  and  the  ma- 
sonry at  the  jambs,  heads  and  sills,  shall  be  packed  with  oakum 
and  filled  solidly  from  the  outside  with  Minwax  Caulking  Com- 
pound. The  sills  shall  be  caulked  from  the  inside  also.  The 
caulking  shall  be  done  before  staff  beads  are  set.  All  joints 
shall  be  filled  with  compound  to  a  depth  of  not  less  than  %  in. 

Steel  frames  which  are  set  after  the  masonry  opening  is 
built  shall  have  the  inside  edge  of  the  masonry  opening  buttered 
with  the  compound  and  shall  be  caulked  at  the  heads,  jambs 
and  sills  with  Minwax  Asphalt  Caulking  Compound. 

Pointing  Stone,  Terra  Cotta,  etc. — All  joints  in  stone  and 
terra  cotta  on  the  top  of  copings,  cornices,  belt  courses,  washes 
and  sills  shall  be  raked  out  to  a  depth  of  %  in.,  and  filled  solid 
with  Minwax  Caulking  Compound,  color  as  selected. 

Minwax  Transparent  Waterproofing 

The  Minwax  Company,  Inc.,  has  produced  Transparent 
Waterproofing  materials  for  over  twenty-five  years.  Our  prod- 
ucts, therefore,  are  proven  as  to  effectiveness  and  permanence 
by  service  and  test  for  over  a  quarter  century. 

Minwax  Transparent  Waterproofings — There  are  two  dis- 
tinct types — designed  to  waterproof  exposed  masonry — brick, 
stucco,  stone  or  concrete — without  materially  changing  their 
color  or  texture.  They  have  proven  their  ability  to  do  this 
by  sealing  the  pores  and  the  viinute  checks,  seams  or  fissures 
along  which  moisture  will  travel.  They  will  not  seal  or  fill 
visible  holes  or  cracks,  however,  and  therefore  on  brick  walls 
and  similar  surfaces  the  importance  of  proper  repointing,  re- 
caulking,  etc. — to  provide  a  surface  to  make  waterproof — cannot 
be  overemphasized.

Minvvax  Colorless  Waterproofing  on  interior 
limestone  protects  from  staining 


Both  types — Min- 
icax  Clear  Water- 
proofing and  Min- 
z^'ax  Colorless  Wa- 
terproofing —  are 
l)crfectly  transpar- 
ent and,  used  as 
directed,  cure  per- 
fectly dust  free. 
Each  is  designed  to 
give  results  with 
minimum  change 
in  color  on  the 
type   surface  for 


which  each  is  recommended. 

Minwax  Clear  Waterproofing — Recommended  for  red  brick 
and  darker  colored  porous  surfaces.  It  is  a  light  amber  colored 
liquid  which  penetrates  deeply — depositing  a  very  large  volume 
of  solid  mineral  gums  actually  filling  pores  and  seams.  These 
gums  do,  however,  bring  out  the  underlying  colors  of  the  sur- 
face in  the  same  way  as  when  the  surface  is  wet  with  water. 
No  zvork  until  this  material  should  be  done  at  temperatures 
below  55°  F. 

Minwax  Colorless  Waterproofing — Recommended  for  lime- 
stone and  light  colored,  close  textured  surfaces.  It  can  be  used 
on  the  lightest  colored  surfaces  without  appreciable  change  in 
their  color.  No  zvork  should  be  done  zvith  this  material  at  tem- 
peratures below  40°  F. 

Specifications — Cut  out  and  replace  with  lime  cement  mortar 
all  loose  and  unsound  joints.  Apply  only  on  clean  dry  surfaces 
at  temperatures  mentioned  above.  Apply  two  coats,  thoroughly 
saturate  surface  with  each  coat.  After  first  coat,  point  up  inci- 


dental holes  and  cracks  with  Minwax  Caulking  Compound,  rub- 
bing it  in  so  that  no  excess  remains  on  the  surface.  Waterproof 
from  roof  flashing  to  grade. 

Minwax  Brick  and  Cement  Coating 

For  Waterproofing  and  Decorating  Exposed  Surfaces 
of  Cast  Concrete,  Brick  or  Stucco — This  Minwax  product 
is  a  pigment  coating  produced  in  a  series  of  attractive  flat 
colortones. 

It  is  a  combination  of  the  highest  grade  inert  mineral  i)ig- 
ments  obtainable  in  a  carrying  vehicle  based  on  Minwax  Clear 
Waterproofing  (one  of  the  oldest,  best  known  and  most  efficient 
mediums  for  exposed  wall  waterproofing). 

The  coating  penetrates  and  becomes  part  of  the  concrete  or 
brick,  and  the  vehicle  penetrates  well  below  the  surface  and 
permanently  waterproofs  it. 

Applied  with  a  brush  or  spray.  Handles  with  unusual  ease. 
Covers  rapidly  and  effectively,  between  160  and  250  sq.  ft. 
per  gal.  per  coat,  depending  upon  the  roughness  and  porosity 
of  the  surfaces  to  be  treated. 

Colors — Finished  in  11  standard  colors:  white,  cream,  yellow, 
cement  gray,  limestone  gray,  caenstone,  green,  brownstone,  terra 
cotta,  blue  and  brick  red.    Special  colors  extra. 

Specifications — General — All  surfaces  shall  be  thoroughly 
dry,  clean  and  sound.  Brush  surface  to  remove  dust,  sandy  and 
loose  material.  Apply  two  (on  common  brick  and  for  maxi- 
mum life  three)  coats,  first  coats  thinned  with  Minwax  Brick 
and  Cement  Coating  thinner ;  final  coat  straight. 

Note:  Neutralize  green,  new  masonry  with  a  solution  of  two 
lbs.  zinc  sulphate  in  one  gallon  of  water. 

No  work  shall  be  carried  forward  at  temperature  below  45*  F. 


MINWAX  METHOD  OF  WOOD  FINISHING 


The  Alinwax  Method  is  the  modern  adaptation  of  the  old- 
time  methods  of  wood  finishing  in  that  it  places  the  finish  in 
the  wood  so  that  it  becomes  part  of  the  surface.  The  result 
is  not  only  greater  beauty  but  the  maximum  of  serviceability. 

The  Minwax  Method  is  simplicity  itself.  One  easily  applied 
product  made  in  clear  and  in  stain  colors,  produces  the  com- 
plete finish.  It  has  been  proven  by  years  of  use  in  homes,  on 
the  larger  apartment  developments,  in  elubs,  churches,  schools, 
and  on  a  majority  of  the  outstanding  housing  projects. 

On  Floors  (Residental) — The  Minwax  Method  eliminates 
refinishing  for  the  finish  is  part  of  the  wood  and  worn  spots 
can  be  renewed  in  color  and  finish  by  simply  wiping  up  the 
surface  with  some  of  the  shade  originally  used.  Approved  by 
the  Southern  Oak  Flooring  Industries  Research  Bureau. 

On  Floors,  School  and  Industrial — The  Minwax  penetrates 
deeply  and  provides  a  tough,  lasting  seal  which  resists  all  de- 
teriorating agencies.  Approved  by  the  Maple  Flooring  Mfg. 
Assn. 

On  Trim — Its  economy,  simplicity  and  serviceability  are  im- 
portant. It  enhances  and  develops  the  natural  beauty  of  the  wood. 

Two  types  are  available :  The  slow  curing  standard  Minw^ax 
Flat  Finish — and  the  quick-acting  Minwax  Quick-Drying  Flat 
Finish. 

Colors — The  popular  shades  besides  the  clear  or  natural  are 
Natural  Oak,  Light  Oak,  Dark  Oak  and  Dark  Walnut. 


Covering  Capacity — 500  to  800  sq.  ft.  per  gallon  per  coat. 

Minwax  Flat  Finish  (Standard) — Cures  more  slowly,  pene- 
trates deeper  and  gives  a  soft  luster  rather  than  a  high  polish. 
Waxing  is  optional  after  a  curing  period  of  two  weeks. 

Minwax  Quick-Drying  Flat  Finish — Cures  quickly,  offers 
wider  choice  of  colors,  gives  higher  polish  and  harder  finish. 
Waxing  with  Minwax  Finishing  Wax  is  always  recommended. 

Colors — The  following  colors  are  sup])licd  both  in  (stand- 
ard) Flat  Finish  and  Quick-Drying  Flat  Finish:  Natural, 
Natural  Oak,  Light  Oak,  Dark  Oak,  Dark  Walnut.  These 
stain  effects  are  transparent  and  are  particularly  recommended 
for  floors  and  trim. 

The  following  colors  are  supi)lied  only  in  Quick  Drying  Flat 
Finishes:  Colonial  Pine,  Colonial  Maple,  Special  Walnut,  Red 
and  Brown  Mahogany.  These  stain  colors  are  not  entirely 
transparent  and  tend  to  bring  boards  of  different  color  to  a 
uniform  tone.  Recommended  for  furniture  and  paneling.  Not 
recommended  for  floors. 

Specifications — Wood  shall  be  clean,  free  from  all  shellac, 
varnish  or  other  finish,  dry  and  carefully  sanded.  Apply  two 
coats,  wiping  excess  as  directed  and  polishing  second  coat  to  dry 
hard  finish.   For  a  high  polish  apply  Minwax  Finishing  Wax. 

Note:  Fillers  are  not  necessary  but  can  be  used  if  desired, 
in  which  case  apply  in  usual  manner  after  first  coat  of  Minwax 
Flat  Finish.

The  Vital  Ingredient  for  Permanence  in  Concrete" 

OMICRON 


Omicron,  discovered  in    by  Master  Build- 
ers Research  Laboratories,  is  a  synthetic  puzzo- 
lana  suspended  in  a  gelatinous  colloid.  The 
importance  of  this  development  cannot  be  over- 
estimated because  it  marks  a  new  and  radical 
advance  in  the  effort  to  increase  the  practical 
life  of  concrete  structures. 

Omicron's  unique  function  is  to  REDUCE 
water-cement  ratio  while  actually  increasing 
plasticity.  The  result  is — an  important  reduction 
in  shrinkage. 


Being  a  synthetic  puzzolana  (concentrated)  it 
combines  with  and  renders  insoluble  a  large  por- 
tion of  the  lime  content. 

The  result,  attested  in  the  laboratory  and  field, 
is  greatly  increased  resistance  to  freezing  and 
thawing  and  mild  corrosive  action. 

Omicron,  of  itself,  is  not  a  commercial  prod- 
uct. It  is  available  only  as  an  exclusive  ingredi- 
ent of  The  Master  Builders  Products  which  are 
described  in  following  pages. 


WHAT  OMICRON  DOES 


Reduces  Shrinkage 

When  used  in  concrete  and  mortar,  Omicron 
Products  actually  reduce  shrinkage  through  their 
unique  function  of  substantially  increasing  plas- 
ticity with  water-cement  ratio  reduced — up  to 
12y2% — regardless  of  type  or  kind  of  cement 
used  and  regardless  of  design  of  mix. 

Inasmuch  as  control  of  volume  change — i.e., 
reduction  of  shrinkage — is  paramount  in  con- 
crete and  mortar  construction.  Architects  and 
Engineers  who  realize  this  vital  significance  now 
have  at  hand  a  positive  remedy. 

Resists  Disintegration  and  Corrosion 

Being  a  highly  concentrated  puzzolana,  Omi- 
cron converts  a  substantial  percentage  of  the 
soluble  lime  into  insoluble  cementitious  com- 
pounds. The  resultant  structure  becomes  much 
more  resistant  to  weathering,  freezing  and  thaw- 
ing and  mild  corrosive  action.

Increases  Plasticity 

Omicron  is  distinguished  in  principle  from  any 
known  plasticizers  because  they  function  with- 
out reducing  water  ratio  and  only  to  correct 
under-sanded  mixes.  In  contrast,  the  extreme 
plasticity  imparted  by  Omicron  Products  under 
all  conditions  permits  a  reduction  in  the  water 
ratio — whether  the  mix  be  over-sanded  or 
under-sanded.  Because  of  its  shrinkage  reducing 
function,  Omicron  is  of  immense  value  even  in 
a  perfectly  designed  and  graded  mix. 

Permanently  Increases  Strength 

Tests  by  Hunt,  Pittsburgh  Testing  Laboratory 
and  other  independent  laboratories  show  that 
the  Omicron  Ingredient  accounts  for  a  substan- 
tial, permanent  increase  in  strength  over  plain 
cement  mixes.  The  following  test  is  typical.

Untreated 


With  Omicron 


For  LEAKPROOF  BRICKWORK  AND  MASONRY 


The  only  logical  and  proven  remedy  for  SHRINKAGE,  the  real  cause  of  leaks  in  brickwork. 

Authorities  agree  that  shrinkage  of  mortar 
which  resuhs  in  cracks  between  mortar  and 
brick,  is  the  major  cause  of  leakage.'^ 

All  mortars  shrink  excessively  during  the  first 
forty-eight  hours  before  a  strong  bond  is  formed 
between  mortar  and  brick.  Shrinkage  occurs 
regardless  of  whether  patented  masonry,  cement, 
or  lime  mortars  or  combinations  of  cement  and 
lime  are  used;  waterproofed  or  otherwise/  " 

Shrinkage  is  inevitable  in  any  mortar  mix  be- 
cause more  than  twice  as  much  water  is  required 
to  provide  workability  than  is  needed  to  hydrate 
the  cement. 

Only  by  reduction  of  water  content  with- 
out loss  of  workability  can  shrinkage  be 
checked.'^ '-^  That  is  exactly  what  mortar- 
proofing  does. 

MORTARPROOFING  PRODUCES  AN  IDEALLY 
WORKABLE  MORTAR  WITH  MUCH  LESS  WATER 

AND    REDUCES    SHRINKAGE    APPROXIMATELY  STOP  These

WHICH  IT  BREAKS  THE  BOND.  MORTARPROOFING 


MORTARPROOFING  DOES  MO/?f  THAN  REDUCE  SHRINKAGE,  IT  .  .  . 


....  Increases  Plasticity 

Not  only  does  Mortarproofing  retain  the  re- 
quired workability  with  less  water— it  actually 
increases  it.  The  gelatinous  properties  of  Mor- 
tarproofing so  increase  the  plasticity  that  the 
mason  must  automatically  reduce  water  or  add 
sand — or  both — to  obtain  proper  consistency. 

....  Checks  Efflorescence 

The  puzzolanic  action  of  the  Omicron  ingredi- 
ent in  Mortarproofing  reduces  the  soluble  salts 
which  cause  efflorescence  originating  from  the 
mortar. 


....  Reduces  Water  Ahsorption 

The  stearate  ingredient  of  Mortarproofing  as- 
sists bond,  checks  capillarity,  and  renders  pores 
water-repellent. 

....  Improves  Adhesion 

The  plasticizing  eflfect  of  Mortarproofing  in- 
creases the  extent  of  bond. 

....  Increases  Strength 

Greater  density  resulting  from  reduced  water- 
cement  ratio  increases  the  bond,  shear  and  com- 
pressive strengths  of  the  mortar.

Only  3.6  lbs.  of  Stearox  "30"  are  required  to 
provide  standard  waterproofing  value.  This 
compares  with  9  to  36  lbs.  of  other  types. 

Handling  and  transportation  charges  are 
lower,  because  Stearox  is  more  compact  than 
other  waterproofing  preparations. 


Stearox  "30"  vised  throughout 


Protection 

It  is  difficult  to  determine  the  relative  water- 
proofing value  of  different  brands  because  there 
is  no  convenient  way  of  determining  stearate 
content.  (Recent  analyses  have  shown  an  ex- 
treme variation  of  stearic  acid  contents  and 
indicate  that  builders  have  received  not 
bargains,  but  only  what  they  paid  for  or 
less.) 

Stearox  "30"  has  a  positive  standard  of  value. 
The  builder  knows  he  is  getting  a  preparation 
with  30%  stearic  acid — the  purest,  strongest  and 
most  for  the  money. 

To  insure  receipt  of  full  value,  the  following 
specification  is  advisable:  "The  waterproofing 
shall  be  free  of  non-stearic  ingredients,  and  not 
less  than  .6  lbs.  of  30%  Stearic  Acid  Paste  (or 
corresponding  increased  proportion  of  paste  of 
lesser  stearic  acid  content)  shall  be  used  per 
sack  of  cement." 


Specification 

All  mass  concrete  shall  be  waterproofed  integrally  by  the  use  of  not  less 
than  3.6  lbs.  of  Master  Builders  Stearox  "30"  waterproofing  paste  per  cubic 
yard  of  cement,  used  exactly  in  accordance  with  the  directions  of  the 
manufacturers.  The  Master  Builders  Co.

COMMERCIAL  &  LIGHT  DUTY  INDUSTRIAL  FLOORS 

MASTER  MIX 


EXPERIENCE  has  proved  that  the  best  way 
to  harden  a  concrete  floor  is — integrally. 
Surface  treatments  serve  their  purpose  as  cor- 
rective measures,  but  at  best  are  temporary, 
whereas  the  properly  integrally  hardened  con- 
crete floor  will  last  indefinitely. 

Master  Mix  has  been  the  standard  integral 
liquid  floor  hardener  and  waterp roofer  (non- 
colored)  for  commercial  and  light  industrial 
concrete  floor  finish  since  . 

Ideal  for  office  building,  laundries,  auditori- 
ums, lofts,  schools,  garages,  and  similar  areas 
subject  to  heavy  foot  traffic  or  light  trucking. 

Important  Characteristics 

1.  Many  integral  hardeners  are  solely  or 
principally  calcium  chloride  solutions.  They 
accelerate  the  set,  give  a  higher  early  strength, 
but  cause  serious  shrinkage.  Master  Mix, 
containing  Omicron,  is  not  a  calcium  chloride 
product. 

2.  By  virtue  of  its  Omicron  content,  it 
reduces  shrinkage  while  increasing  plasticity 
with  reduced  water-cement  ratio.  The  proven 
result  is  a  dense  hard  and  permanent  floor. 

3.  High  plasticity  permits  the  use  of  a  dry 
mix  with  silica  and  other  hard  aggregates — 
easy  to  trowel — prevents  dusty  surface. 

4.  High  compressive  strength  withstands 
wear  indefinitely. 

5.  Master  Mix  Floors  not  affected  by  mild 
corrosives  because  Omicron  combines  with  a 
substantial  portion  of  free  lime  throughout 
topping.

HEAVY  DUTY  INDUSTRIAL  FLOORS 

METALICRON 


WEAR-RESISTANCE— the  long  recognized 
quality  of  metallic  hardened  floors,  is  now 
supplemented  by  corrosion  resistance  in  the 
Metalicron  floor  through  its  Omicron  ingredient. 

More  than  twenty  years  of  experience  have 
demonstrated  that  the  Metallic  Hardened  type  of 
concrete  floor,  originated  in    by  The  Master 
Builders  Co.,  is  the  most  wear-resisting  and  eco- 
nomical floor  for  industrial  and  heavy  traffic,  as 
in  warehouses,  machine  shops,  pulp  and  paper 
mills,  steel  mills,  foundries,  garages,  etc. 

Important  Characteristics 

Metalicron  is  pure  Master  Builders  water- 
absorbent  metallic  hardener  combined  with 
Omicron.  It  guarantees  double  protection  for 
concrete  floors: — 

1.  A  hard,  long-wearing  surface. 

2.  Protection  from  disintegration,  from  cutting  oils 
and  alkalies  that  commonly  attack  industrial  floors. 

3.  Because  it  greatly  increases  the  workability  of  the 
finish  mortar,  Metalicron  can  be  easily  and  perfectly 
incorporated  in  dry  mixes  (where  ordinary  hardener  is 
not  workable),  thus  affording  all  the  advantages  of  low 
water-cement  ratio. 

Recently  certain  "imitations"  of  Metalicron 
have  appeared.  Conclusive  evidence,  however, 
proves  the  outstanding  superiority  of  Metalicron. 
(Facts  upon  request.) 

Performance 

The  performance  of  Metalicron  Floors  in  such 
typical  installations  as  the  following  explains  the 
universal  acceptance  of  Metalicron  Floors  as  the 
best  Heavy  Duty  Floor  for  Industry : 

The  Pittsburgh  Plate  Glass  Co.,  Pittsburgh,  Pa. 
Merchandise  Mart,  Chicago 
Western  Electric  Co.,  Kearney,  N.  J. 
The  McGraw  Hill  Publishing  Bldg.,  New  York  City 
Ford  Motor  Company 
The  Continental  Can  Co.,  Chicago,  111. 
The  Pennsylvania  Railroad  and  scores  of  other  equally 
discriminating  users. 

Facts  to  Consider 

Even  the  best  hardeners  are  inexpensive.  An 
initial  saving  of  perhaps  one-half  cent  per  square 
foot,  tlirough  the  purchase  of  a  hardener  "just 
as  good,"  is  hardly  justified  when  this  slight 
saving  may  jeopardize  the  desired  results  in  a 
floor  costing  12  to  20  cents  per  sq.  ft.  to  install. 

Metalicron  is  an  essential  ingredient  for  excel- 
lence in  all  concrete  floors.  Modem  methods  and 
materials,  such  as  special  types  of  floors,  silica 
aggregates,  etc.,  in  no  way  obviate  the  necessity 
of  the  use  of  Metalicron.

METALLIC  WATERPROOFING 

Master  Builders  Metallic  Waterproofing  is  ap- 
plied to  either  inside  or  outside  wall  surfaces, 
usually  the  inside  surface.  It  permanently  seals 
all  pores  and  cracks,  and  provides  a  water-tight 
metal-cement  sheath  that  defies  time  and  ele- 
ments. Applied  as  successive  brush  coats  or  as 
a  plaster  coat,  or  both,  as  conditions  require. 

Metallic  Waterproofing  is  used  widely  instead 
of  the  more  expensive  and  difficult  membrane 
method.  One  great  advantage  is  the  ease  with 
which  structural  cracks  or  leaks  are  located  and 
cheaply  repaired.  Metallic  Waterproofing  is  a 
permanent  seal  and  bond  for  repairing  and  re- 
integrating masonry  and  concrete  structures. 

BONDING  IRON 

For  Bonding  Separate  Top  Finish  to  Hardened 
Concrete  Slab 

Bonding  to  a  set  slab  is  largely  a  matter  of 
workmanship,  but  results  are  surer  when  Master 
Builders  Bonding  Iron,  specially  designed  for 
this  purpose,  is  used.  Bonding  Iron  is  applied  in 
a  two-coat  treatment  to  the  base  slab  after  the 
surface  has  been  roughened  and  thoroughly 
cleaned  and  saturated  with  water.  The  first  coat 
oxidizes,  providing  a  waterproof  sheath  that  pre- 
vents the  dry  base  from  drawing  moisture  from 
the  topping.  The  second  coat  provides  an  addi- 
tional mechanical  key.  Approximately  15 
pounds  per  100  square  feet  required. 

Specification 

Where  a  cement  finij^h  is  to  be  applied  to  a  set  slab, 
the  slab  shall  be  thoroughly  roughened  with  picks  and 
broom  cleaned;  slab  shall  then  be  saturated  with  water, 
given  two  coats  of  Master  Builders  Bonding  Iron  applied 
exactly  in  accordance  with  directions  of  the  manufac- 
turers, The  Master  Builders  Co. 

CAULKING  COMPOUND 

In  nine  colors  and  natural.  Applied  by  knife

SANISEAL 

For  Floors  Already  Installed 
Master  Builders  Saniseal  is  a  powerful  chem- 
ical hardener,  which  when  mixed  with  water 
and  brushed  into  the  floor  surface,  deposits  in 
the  pores  a  hard,  wear-resisting  crystal.  This 
arrests  dusting  and  hardens  the  surface. 

Saniseal  is  designed  as  a  maintenance  or  cor- 
rective treatment  for  floors  already  installed. 
Not  less  than  2  lbs.  of  Saniseal  should  be  used 
per  100  sq.  ft. 

CONCRETE  PRESERVATIVE 

Protects  concrete  from  the  attack  of  reagents 
which  ordinarily  cause  rapid  deterioration,  such 
as  solutions  of  alkalies,  acids  and  salts.  It  is  a 
moderately  viscous  amber  liquid  of  a  non-volatile 
synthetic  base,  which,  when  applied  on  any  dry 
concrete  surface,  penetrates  and  fills  the  pores 
with  a  waterproof  corrosion  resistant.  An  ex- 
cellent alkali-resisting  priming  coat  for  oil  paints 
to  be  used  on  concrete  or  masonry,  as  it  water- 
proofs, forming  a  strong  bond  between  paint 
and  concrete,  preventing  blistering  and  peeling. 
Concrete  Preservative  is  recommended  for  ap- 
plication to  all  concrete  exposed  to  severe  corro- 
sive conditions,  such  as  floors  in  food  manufac- 
turing plants,  bakeries,  laundries,  concrete 
tanks  and  vats,  sewers,  silos,  l)ottling  plants. 

PLASTER  BOND 

A  black  bituminous-base  adhesive  paint  for 
excluding  dampness  from  the  inside  of  exterior 
walls  that  are  to  receive  a  plaster  finish. 

FOUNDATION  COATING 

A  black  elastic  hydrocarbon  waterproofing  ap- 
plied cold  to  exterior  surface  of  masonry  below 
grade. 


FOR  CONTROL  OF  SHRINKAGE  IN  CONCRETE 


POZZOLITH 

For  Mass  Concrete 
Prolongs  life  of  concrete  by  increased  density 
and  reduced  shrinkage,  which  intensifies  resist- 
ance to  freezing,  thawing  and  corrosion.  Pozzo- 
lith  does  this  through  puzzolanic  action,  reduc- 
ing the  solubles,  and  by  reducing  water  ratio 
and  increasing  workability  in  any  mix,  whether 
undersanded,  oversanded  or  well  graded.

Guarantee 

Work  done  under  contract  with  a  10-year  guarantee, 
or  a  cost-plus-percentage  basis 
without  guarantee. 

Process 

New  Structures — The  sur- 
face is  tested  and  structural 
defects,  if  any,  are  made 
good.  The  wall  is  then  im- 
pregnated to  considerable 
depth  with  a  melted  wax  com- 
pound forced  in  by  heat. 

Old  Structures — Where 
masonry  walls  leak  but  mate- 
rial disintegration  has  not  oc- 
curred all  joints  are  tested 

and  made  sound  where  necessary,  and  the  entire  sur- 
face, including  joints,  treated  as  above. 

This  company  makes  a  specialty  of  repairing  masonry 
buildings  which  have  been  damaged  by  the  weather  or 
through  vibration  or  other  causes.  Many  walls  which 
are  sound  upon  casual  inspection  prove  to  have 
been  seriously  affected. 


Where  the  surface  has  disintegrated  from  weather 
attack,  it  is  restored  to  sound  condition,  joints  are 
repointed,  and  the  entire  surface  treated  as  above.  The 
treatment  leaves  the  appearance  unchanged,  and  one 
treatment  will  last  for  the  life  of  the  building. 

It  will  be  under-stood  that  application  of  heat  to  build- 
ings, particularly  to  fine  marble  and  granite,  requires 
expert  skill.  Heat  dries  out  the  surface  and  forces 
penetration  of  preservative  material.  On  cooling,  the 
wax  congeals  and  becomes  an  integral  part  of  the  mate- 
rial at  and  below  the  surface. 

Durability 

The  principal  components 
cannot  be  easily  oxidized  and 
are  insoluble  in  water,  acidu- 
lated or  alkaline  solution,  or 
gases.  This  is  the  only  pre- 
servative process  having  a 
successful  history  covering 
any  considerable  period. 
Buildings  treated  more  than 
sixty  years  ago  are  still  dry.

ST.  LOUIS,  MO. 


A  superior  admixture  which  pro- 
vides integral  waterproof  qualities, 
and  improves  plasticity,  workability, 
strength  and  finish  of  concrete. 

Properties  of  Aquagel 

Aquagel  is  a  hydrous  siHcate  of  alumina  of  volcanic 
origin.  In  the  presence  of  water  it  breaks  up  into  par- 
ticles of  colloidal  size  and  forms  a  gel  with  twenty-five 
times  its  weight  of  water.  Its  chemical  constituents  are 
practically  the  same  as  those  found  in  portland  cement. 
Aquagel  contains  no  soap,  caustics,  acids  or  organic 
matter  that  might  interfere  with  the  setting  or  cause 
subsequent  disintegration  of  or  injury  to  concrete  or 
mortar.  It  does,  however,  possess  mild  puzzuolanic 
properties  offsetting  to  a  slight  degree  the  undesirable 
effects  of  lime  freed  from  portland  cement  during  its 
hydration! 

Advantages  of  Aquagel 

In  manufacturing  concrete  of  any  type,  it  is  necessary 
to  form  a  paste  of  water  and  cement  sufficient  in  volume 
to  fill  the  voids  and  uniformly  coat  the  particles  of 
aggregate.  Due  to  the  difference  in  specific  gravity  of 
the  components  of  concrete,  it  is  necessary  to  provide 
a  water-cement  paste  of  sufficient  viscosity  to  prevent 
segregation  of  the  concrete  particles.  It  is  the  function 
of  Aquagel  to  supply  not  only  sufficient  body  to  the 
water-cement  paste  to  prevent  segregation,  but  also  to 
uniformly  distribute  the  cement  and  coat  the  aggregate. 
The  purpose  of  Aquagel,  therefore,  is  to  preserve  de- 
sirable uniformity  of  the  concrete  mix,  considerably 
improving  the  strength,  finish  and  waterproof  qualities. 
The  improved  workability  imparted  to  the  concrete  mix 
by  the  addition  of  Aquagel  will  alone  justify  its  use. 
Other  advantages  include  lowered  labor  costs,  less  form 
leakage  and  the  elimination  of  honeycombing  and  patch- 
ing. 

Tests  of  Aquagel  Concrete 

Thousands  of  tests  have  consistently  shown  increased  strength 
with  the  addition  of  Aquagel.  The  following  is  a  typical 
laboratory  test  on  the  effect  of  Aquagel  on  strength.  Tests  by

Method  of  Use  in  Concrete 

Aquagel  is  added  to  the  mix  at  the  same 
time  as  the  cement.  In  some  localities  it 
may  be  obtained  from  the  cement  mill 
ground  in  with  the  cement.  The  correct 
amount  of  Aquagel  to  use  depends  to  a 
considerable  extent  on  the  type  of  concrete. 
In  very  rich  concrete,  designed  for  high 


Cross  section  of  normal  concrete  of  ex- 
actly same  mix  except  that  section  on  right

per  sack  of  cement  and  section  on  left,  no 
Aquagel 


Strength,  one  to  two  pounds  per  sack  of 

cement  is  desirable.  With  very  harsh  ag- 
gregate, such  as  cinders,  burnt  shale,  slag  or 
chats,  from  two  to  three  pounds  will  be  re- 
quired. In  the  case  of  fireproofing  concrete, 
where  great  plasticity,  insulating  properties 
and  lightness  are  desired,  as  much  as  10 
pounds  per  sack  may  be  used.  The  following  specifications  for 
incorporation  will  give  uniformly  satisfactory  results : 

High  Stress  Concrete  and  concrete  required  to  be  highly 
resistant  to  the  passage  of  water — use  two  pounds  of  Aquagel 
to  each  sack  of  portland  cement. 

Harsh  Aggregate  Concrete — use  three  pounds  of  Aquagel  to 
each  sack  of  portland  cement. 

Fireproofing  Concrete — use  five  pounds  of  Aquagel  to  each 
sack  of  Portland  cement. 

Method  of  Use  in  Masonry  Cement 

^  The  use  of  Aquagel  is  particularly  advantageous  in  mortar, 
since  it  has  a  plasticity  value  more  than  five  times  as  great  as 
hydrated  lime  or  any  similar  material.  In  other  words,  one 
pound  of  Aquagel  contributes  as  much  to  plasticity  of  mortar 
as  five  pounds  of  lime.  Aquagel  is  free  from  causticity,  and 
therefore  presents  no  dangers  due  to  unhydrated  particles; 
neither  does  it  stain  mortar  in  which  it  is  used,  nor  destroy 
mortar  colors. 

To  plasticize  a  portland  cement  mortar,  use  12  to  15  pounds 
of  Aquagel  to  each  sack  of  portland  cement.  The  following 
mortar  mix  may  be  made  on  the  job  for  excellent  results  as 
to  bond,  plasticity  and  strength : 

Mortar  Sand      lbs. 

Inert  Filler  (limestone  dust,  ground  slag 

or  silica)    300  lbs. 

Portland  Cement    2  sacks 

Aquagel    30  lbs. 

Pigment   As  required 

Water   To  desired  Consistency 

Ready  prepared  Aquagel  Alasonry  cements  may  be  obtained

facturers.

SOLVAY  CALCIUM  CHLORIDE  FOR  CURING,  DENSIFYING  AND  ACCELERATING  THE  SETTING  OF  CONCRETE 
The  Material 

A  white,  dry,  flaky  chemical  which,  when  added  to  the 
mixing  water,  accelerates  the  initial  hardening  of  con- 
crete ;  at  the  same  time  densifies  the  concrete,  making 
it  more  waterproof;  reduces  the  freezing  point  of  water, 
thereby  aiding  the  fresh  concrete  to  resist  freezing  in 
low  temperatures.  Solvay  Calcium  Chloride  is  extremely 
hygroscopic  and  dissolves  almost  instantly  in  water.  It  can  be 
used  with  any  brand  of  Portland  cement. 


Advantages 

Every  condition  essential  to  complete  structural 
concrete  curing  is  met  by  Solvay  Calcium  Chlor- 
ide. Its  value  over  other  methods  in  producing 
faster,  stronger  concrete  at  low  cost  has  been 
proved  in  extensive  actual  practice.  Such  author- 
itative bodies  as  the  Portland  Cement  Associa- 
tion, the  Investigating  Committee  of  Architects 
and  Engineers  and  others  have  recognized  its 
merits  and  approved  its  use. 

Construction  Advantages — (1)  Solvay  Cal- 
cium Chloride  increases  the  speed  of  the  concrete 
set;  (2)  produces  high  early  and  ultimate 
strength;  (3)  makes  the  mix  more  workable; 
(4)  provides  proper  moisture  control  for  complete 
hydration;  (5)  permits  earlier  removal  of  forms; 
(6)  offers  exceptional  control  of  volume  changes. 

Safety  in  Cold  Weather — It  is  here  in  par- 
ticular that  Solvay  Calcium  Chloride  reveals  its 
superiority.  Through  its  facility  for  quickening 
the  set,  the  time  ordinarily  required  is  substan- 
tially decreased  and  the  danger  of  freezing 
thereby  greatly  lessened.  The  period  during 
which  protection  is  required  is  shortened  by  half. 
Even  in  continued  cold  weather  concrete  work 
can  progress  smoothly  and  without  interruption 
when  Solvay  Calcium  Chloride  serves  as  the  cur- 
ing agent.  Architects,  engineers  and  contractors 
on  many  of  the  country's  largest  structural  proj- 
ects have  been  favorably  impressed  by  its  quali- 
ties of  quick  initial  setting,  hardening,  densifying 
and  reduction  of  the  freezing  point  of  the  mix- 
ing water. 

Economy — By  cutting  finishing  time  and  low- 


Eaton  Tower,  Detroit,  Mich. 

Louis  Kamper,  Inc.,  Architects 
Otto  Miscii  Co.,  Contractors 
One  of  the  many  magnificent 
modern  structures  in  which  the 


the  Calcium  Chloride  curing  method  also  reduces  the 
risk  of  costly  spoilage  and  damage. 

Some  Quick  Facts — As  shown  by  tests,  concrete 
gauged  with  Solvay  Calcium  Chloride  has,  at  the  end  of 
48  hours,  the  same  strength  as  concrete  gauged  with 
plain  water  at  the  end  of  7  days. 

With  Solvay  Calcium  Chloride,  floor  finishing  is  possible  within 
a  short  time  after  pouring;  concrete  can  be  poured  late  in  the 
afternoon  and  finished,  thus  saving  overtime  charges. 

Experiments  on  workability  conducted  by  the  New  Hampshire  State 
Highway  Department  indicate  that  the  power  required  to 
mix  concrete  is  reduced  20%  by  the  addition  of  2%  of 
Calcium  Chloride. 

By  speeding  construction  and  insuring  safety,  the  Cal- 
cium Chloride  curing  method  more  than  pays  for  itself. 

Data  printed  in  the  National  Bureau  of  Standards  report 
show:  (1)  that  all  concretes  with  Calcium  Chloride  nave 
greater  strength  than  plain  concrete  at  all  ages  tested. 
(2)  that  mortar  containmg  2%  of  Calcium  Chloride  has  a 
strength  approximately  15%  greater  than  the  plain  mortar 
at  one  year;  that  strength  at  one  day  is  practically  do\4.bled 
by  the  use  of  2%  Calcium  Chloride. 

Tests 

Confirmation  of  these  and  other  practical,  "common 
sense"  advantages  of  the  Calcium  Chloride  curing  method 
has  been  made  in  researches  by  the  National  Bureau  of 
Standards,  by  the  groups  previously  mentioned  and  by 
other  authoritative  bodies  whose  testimony  is  accepted  as 
competent  by  architects,  engineers  and  others  engaged  in 
construction  projects.  In  all  of  these  findings,  it  has  been 
determined  that  these  curing  benefits  extend  to  all  brands 
of  both  standard  and  high  early  strength  Portland  cement 
zvhen  calcium  chloride  is  incorporated  directly  in  the  mix. 

Directions  for  Using  Solvay  Calcium  Chloride 

Amount  to  be  used  is  approximately  2  lbs.,  dissolved  in

Hydrocide  Exterior  Colorless  Waterproofing 

Description — A  clear,  colorless  liquid  composed  of 
water-repellent  colloids  incorporated  in  special  solvents 
which  are  blended  in  such  a  manner  as  to  make  the 
product  permanently  stable  in  form;  permits  the  ready 
penetration  of  the  water-proofer  into  the  surface  and 
eliminates  discoloration.  It  differs  from  liquids  incor- 
porating wax,  oil  or  gum  compounds  in  the  important 
fact  that  Hydrocide  Colorless  does  not  leave  a  sticky 
or  viscous  film  to  invite  the  accumulation  of  dust  and 
dirt,  and  it  remains  unaffected  by  temperature  changes. 

Application — All  surfaces  to  be  waterproofed  must 
be  clean  and  absolutely  free  from  moisture  to  insure 
thorough  absorption.  For  that  reason  it  is  advisable  to 
allow  at  least  three  days  to  elapse  after  a  heavy  rain 
before  making  an  application.  It  is  important  that  all 
mortar  joints  be  inspected  and  wherever  necessary,  re- 
pointed  and  allowed  to  dry  and  set  thoroughly  before 
Hydrocide  Colorless  is  applied. 

Specifications — Brush  or  spray  thoroughly  on  the  exterior 
wall  two  (2)  coats  of  Hydrocide  Colorless  (specify  formula) 
as  manufactured  by  L.  Sonnehorn  Sons,  Inc.,  88  Lexington 
Avenue,  New  York,  N.  Y. 

At  least  18  hours  should  elapse  between  coats.  For  excep- 
tionally dense  surfaces,  one  (1)  heavy  saturation  coat  may  prove 
sufficient.  Hydrocide  Colorless  must  be  brought  to  the  job  in 
the  original  sealed  containers.  Can  be  applied  by  brush  or 
spray. 

Special  Note:  For  light  colored  surfaces  of  low  porosity, 
two  coats  of  Hydrocide  Colorless  "G"  are  recommended ;  for 
dark  colored  stucco,  dark  colored  natural  stone  and  dark 
colored  artificial  stone  and  red  brick,  two  coats  of  Hydro- 
cide Colorless  "B"  are  recommended.    For  surfaces  of  high

Contract  Service 

We  specialize  in  waterproofing  exterior 
walls  above  grade.  During  our  32  years 
of  waterproofing  the  materials  which  we 
have  perfected  and  the  experience  gained  through 
waterproofing  thousands  of  important  buildings  have 
enabled  us  to  succeed  even  in  the  most  difficult  and  un- 
usual cases.  We  do  not  undertake  any  work  on  which 
we  cannot  give  a  positive  guarantee  against  the  pene- 
tration of  water.  The  mere  application  of  waterproofing 
materials  on  a  damp  or  leaky  wall  is  not  sufficient.  The 
cause  must  be  determined  to  avoid  continual  recurrences. 

Although  we  operate  throughout  the  country,  all  ap- 
plications are  made  by  experienced  mechanics  trained 
in  our  service.  Quotations  for  waterproofing  work  are 
submitted  at  reasonably  low  prices,  consistent  with  our 
superior  workmanship. 

Our  waterproofing  work  will  stand  the  following  test : 
Field  Test — In  an  official  test  conducted  by  the  De- 
partment of  Public  Works,  State  of  New  York,  at 
Brooklyn  State  Hospital,  Creedmor,  N.  Y.,  on  Building 
No.  1,  the  plaster  and  hollow  tiles  were  removed  from 
a  16-sq.  ft.  wall,  leaving  the  brick  exposed.  Then  a  fire 
hose  was  played  against  the  outside  of  this  area.  Water 
appeared  in  the  interior  within  five  minutes.  After 
forty-five  minutes  the  water  flowed  right  through  the 
wall. 

We  then  applied  our  waterproofing  on  the  same  area 
in  accordance  with  the  Standard  Waterproofing  Method, 
To  test  our  work,  a  fire  hose  was  placed  15  ft.  away 
from  the  building  and  over  50  lbs.  of  pressure  of  water 
was  forced  against  one  spot  for  four  hours.  No  water 
or  dampness  came  through.

tic, full-bodied,  tacky,  damp-proofing  and  plaster  bond  paint  for 
brush  or  spray  application  to  the  interior  surfaces  of  exterior 
masonry  walls  to  which  hard  wall  plaster  is  to  be  directly 
applied.  Prevents  the  penetration  of  dampness,  and  renders  the 
inside  of  walls  verminproof  and  stainproof.  Not  to  be  used 
on  ceilings  (except  under  special  instructions),  nor  must  con- 
crete or  Portland  cement  mortar  be  applied  directly  over  it. 

"R.I.W."  Semi-mastic  Dampproofing  Plasterbond — 
Similar  to  No.  232  except  that  it  is  a  heavier  bodied  composi- 
tion for  brush  application. 

"R.I.W."  Plastertox — A  mastic  dampproofing  and  plaster- 
bond  for  trowel  application,  similar  to  No.  232  except  made  in 
the  mastic  form. 

No.  110  "R.I.W."  Damp-Resisting  Paint— A  black,  alkali- 
proof  and  waterproof,  elastic  paint  to  protect  limestone,  marble, 
granite  and  other  cut  stone  from  the  chemical  action  and  dis- 
coloration due  to  alkali  in  cement,  and  to  moisture.  Also 
resistant  to  mild  acids. 

"R.I.W."  Marine  Cement — A  black,  damp-proof,  heavy 
body  liquid  paint  for  brush  application  to  the  exterior  of  foun- 
dation walls  and  footings;  concrete  floor  slabs,  and  wood 
sleepers  laid  in  concrete.    Does  not  need  to  be  heated.

ishing cement  paints,  ready  for  use,  for  damp-proofing,  beauti- 
fying and  overcoming  the  natural  porosity  of  exposed  stucco, 
concrete  and  masonry  walls.  In  white  and  colors.  Dries  with 
a  flat  finish.    For  gloss  finish  apply  "R.I.W."  Flex-Sicco  Paint. 

"R.I.W."  Toxloxpore — A  colorless,  damp-proofing  liquid, 
especially  adapted  for  application  to  brick,  concrete,  stucco, 
limestone,  and  Bedford  stone.  When  applied  to  a  perfectly  dry 
surface  it  will  prevent  the  development  of  efflorescence  and  the 
penetration  of  dampness. 

Caulking  and  Pointing  Compound 

"R.I.W."  Elastic  Caulking  Compound  furnished  in  con- 
sistency for  gun  method  and  knifing  use.  Colors,  gray  and 
caenstone  shades.

rial for  the  pointing  of  terra  cotta,  stone  joints,  etc.,  and  for 
caulking  metal  or  wood  doors,  frames,  etc. 

Waterproofing 

"R.I.W."  Toxement  (Patented)— MaJ^  in  powder,  paste 
and  liquid  form  for  the  integral  waterproofing  of  all  portland 
cement  construction  such  as  concrete  foundations,  floors,  walls, 
bridges,  piers,  reservoirs,  cement  mortar  and  stucco.  It  lubri- 
cates the  concrete,  increases  flowability  and  workability  with  the 
minimum  amount  of  water,  assuring  a  thorough  and  non-porous 
mix  and  eliminates  necessity  for  extreme  tamping  and  chuting. 

"R.I.W."  Tox-Mix  Clear— A  colorless  liquid  to  be  used 
integrally  in  portland  cement  mixtures,  such  as  concrete,  cement 
floors,  stucco,  brick  mortar,  etc.  When  this  solution  is  used  a 
great  increase  is  obtained  in  the  early  tensile  and  compressive 
strength  of  portland  cement  mixtures  and  it  renders  the  resulting 
concrete  or  cement  mortar  permanently  hard  and  dense. 

Membrane  Method— W^."  SeU-Healing  Bridge 
Cement — A  black  viscous  non-hardening  material  without  sul- 
phur content  that  is  unaffected  by  vibration  and  which  remains

conjunction  with  7-oz.  untreated  burlap  or  with  waterproof  felt 
paper  in  two  or  three-ply  to  give  an  elastic  and  effective  water- 
proof membrane.

Truscon  Waterproofing  Paste  (Integral) 

Definition — An  integral  compound  for  producing 
thoroughly  waterproof  concrete  or  cement  mortar.  It  is 
adapted  to  waterproofing  concrete  construction  of  various 
kinds — foundations,  reservoirs,  tunnels,  dams,  cisterns, 
etc.  Also  used  for  waterproofing  old  brick,  concrete 
and  stone  structures  through  the  agency  of  a  cement 
plaster  coat  into  which  the  waterproofing  is  introduced. 
Truscon  Waterproofing  Paste  is  also  used  for  producnig 
waterproof  cement  stucco  and  cement  mortar. 

How  Used— Truscon  Waterproofing  Paste  is  added  directly 
to  the  mix.  To  insure  proper  proportions,  a  small  Measure, 
or  cup,  is  supplied  with  each  drum  of  Truscon  Waterproofing 
Paste.  This  Measure  is  fastened  to  the  under  side  of  the  hd 
of  each  container.  The  directions  specify  the  number  of 
Measures  of  Truscon  Paste  to  use  per  bag  of  cement  for  each 
class  of  work. 

Advantages— (1)  Water  repellent;  kills  capillary  absorp- 
tion of  moisture  into  concrete  or  cement  plaster.  Since  "plug- 
ging the  pores"  of  cement  is  physically  impossible,  the  repellent 
feature  of  Truscon  Waterproofing  Paste  is  the  most  practical 
and  scientific  method  of  waterproofing. 

(2)  Easy  to  wj^— added  directly  to  the  mix  from  the  drum. 

(3)  High  concentration  and  freedom  from  useless  filler— 
it  is  all  waterproofing— contains  no  clay,  lime  or  such  material. 

(4)  Plasticizes  concrete — and  minimizes  segregation.  Con- 
crete containing  Truscon  Waterproofing  Paste  requires  less 
water,  hence  avoids  "sloppy"  mixes.  .     j     .  , 

(5)  In  paste  form—2i  form  most  easily  mixed  with  wet  con- 
crete or  cement  mortar  batches.  This  insures  even  distribution 
of  the  waterproofing.  ,      .  ,  ,  , 

(6)  Inert— docs  not  react  chemically  with  cement ;  hence  does 
not  lower  the  strength  of  the  concrete. 

(7)  High  concentration— 2\\  waterproofing— hence  low  cost 

per  yard.  •  r     •       .  ; 

(8)  Contains  no  soluble  salts  to  rust  reinforcing  steel 

(9)  Lubricates  the  mix  by  cutting  the  "skin  strength  of 
^ater— producing  a  concrete  which  "chutes"  easily  to  the 
forms;  produces  a  more  dense  and  compact  concrete.  In  the 
case  of  cement  mortar  or  stucco,  "lubrication"  makes  these 
materials  of  creamy  consistency  and  much  easier  to  apply. 
Avoids  mottling  of  surface  of  cement  stucco. 

(10)  Insoluble  m  water—hence  can  not  be  washed  out  of 
the  concrete  or  affected  by  time  or  weathering.  This  is  an 
important  point  because  so  many  of  the  waterproofings  on  the 
market  will  dissolve  in  water. 

(11)  Proved  by  years  of  use  in  the  worlds  most  famous 
structures. 

Specifications  for  Waterproofing  Mass  Concrete 

Estimate  7  lb.  of  Truscon  Waterproofing  Paste  (Integral) 
to  the  cubic  yard  of  concrete.  Applicable  to  concrete  founda- 
tions, reservoirs,  tunnels,  cisterns,  swimming  pools,  etc. 


Method— Water  tightness  shall  be  secured  by  the 
addition  of  Truscon  Waterproofing  Paste  concen- 
trated, added  directly  to  the  mix  in  the  skip;  pro- 
portions as  directed  below. 

Ingredients  and  Proportions  for  Concrete— 
The  concrete  composing  the  structure  shall  consist  of 
1  part  of  cement,  2  parts  of  sand  and  4  parts  of  stone 
(1:2:4)  properly  graded  in  size  from  coarse  to  fine. 
Add  one  Truscon  Measuring  Cup  per  bag  of  cement. 

Placing— All  concrete  shall  be  placed  in  one  con- 
tinuous operation,  each  pouring  being  properly 
spaded.  In  cases  where  joints  are  unavoidable,  care  shall  be 
taken  to  clean  and  roughen  the  old  surface,  and  have  it 
thoroughly  wet  and  slush  coated  immediately  before  placing 
additional  concrete. 

Specifications  for  Waterproof  Cement  Plaster  Coat 

Estimate  6  lb.  of  Truscon  W'aterproofing  Paste  to  the 
100  sq.  ft.  of  %-in.  plaster  applied  to  the  walls,  and  16  lb. 
of  paste  to  the  100  sq.  ft.  of  2-in.  finish  applied  to  the  floor. 
Applicable  to  reservoirs,  swimming  pools,  cisterns  and  similar 
forms  of  masonry  construction,  whether  of  brick,  stone  or 

concrete.  ,  ,      ,        •  i 

Method— Water-tightness  shall  be  secured  by  plastering  the 
interior  surface  of  the  structure  with  a  continuous  coating  of 
Portland  cement  mortar  waterproofed  with  Truscon  Water- 
proofing Paste.  p  J  -r»i 

Ingredients  and  Proportions  for  Waterproofed  Plaster 
Coat— The  mortar  composing  the  plaster  coat  shall  consist 
of  1  part  of  cement  and  2  parts  of  clean  sand  (1 :2),  free  from 
organic  matter  and  uniformly  graded.  Truscon  Waterproofing 
Paste  shall  be  added  in  the  proportion  of  \V2  Truscon  "Meas- 
uring Cups"  to  the  bag  of  cement.  Then  add  gauging  water 
and  mix  thoroughly.  ,  ^ 

Preparation  of  Surface  to  Be  Coated— Before  plastering 
the  waterproofed  cement  mortar  onto  the  hardened  concrete, 
brick  or  masonry,  proper  precautions  should  be  taken  to  in- 
sure thorough  bonding  and  keying  of  the  plaster  coat  to  the 

^  Application  of  Coating  to  Sides— Immediately  after  apply- 
ing a  slush  coat,  the  waterproofed  plaster  shall  be  applied  in 
2  coats  each  %  in.  thick  as  per  specifications  of  the  manu- 
facturer, the  second  coat  being  applied  just  before  the  first  has 
reached  its  final  set.  ,       ,  j 

Application  of  Floor  Coating— Floors  shall  be  prepared 
and  treated  with  equal  care  as  the  walls  to  insure  proper  bond- 
ing of  the  mortar,  and  finished  with  a  waterproofed  cement 
mortar  to  a  thickness  of  2  in.  Special  care  must  be  exercised 
in  joining  the  wall  coating  to  the  floor  coating,  so  that  there 
is  a  continuous  waterproof  coating  over  the  entire  surface. 

Pressure— When  moisture  is  seeping  through  the  walls, 
proper  drainage  must  be  provided  during  the  application  and 
setting  of  the  plaster  coat,  until  such  time  as  the  plaster  coat 
has  set  and  is  capable  of  resisting  pressure  of  its  own  adhesive 
strength. 

Ferritex 

Ironite  method  of  Waterproofing— Oilproofing 
A  pulverous  iron  compound  processed  and  treated  for  the 
"ironite"  method  of  waterproofing.  This  product  is  mixed  with 
water  and  used  as  a  brush  coat  over  concrete  surfaces,  plug- 
ging the  pores,  thereby  preventing  the  penetration  of  water 

^^F^Vritex  is  one  of  the  oldest  forms  of  waterproofing.  It 
is  easy  to  apply  and  requires  very  little  preparation.  Recom- 
mended not  only  as  a  waterproofing,  but  also  used  as  an  oil- 
proofing.  During  the  War  hundreds  of  concrete  oil  storage 
tanks  were  oilproofed  with  brush  coats  of  Ferritex.

Specifications  for  Ferritex 

All  concrete  shall  be  dampproofed  by  the  application  of 
(1  to  5)  thorough  brush  coats  of  Truscon  Ferritex  and  water 
(a  porous  concrete  requires  a  greater  number  of  brush  coats 
than  a  dense  concrete),  as  manufactured  and  recommended  by 
The  Truscon  Laboratories,  Detroit,  Mich. 

Condition  of  Surface— The  surface  shall  be  thoroughly 
cleaned  of  dirt,  grease  and  foreign  matter. 

Application— A  practical  method  of  mixing  Ferritex  with 
water  is  to  dump  10  lb.  of  Ferritex  in  a  10-qt.  pail  and  add  just 
enough  water  to  cover  the  Ferritex  to  a  depth  of  about  2  in. 
The  Ferritex  stays  at  the  bottom,  and  in  application  the  brush 
should  be  brushed  back  and  forth  over  this  layer  of  Ferritex 
under  water  and  then  applied  to  the  wall.  Use  Ferritex  freely. 
Mix  only  as  much  Ferritex  with  water  as  can  be  used  imme- 
diately. Allow  5  or  6  hours  in  between  coats  for  development, 
spraying  the  surface  with  water  frequently  in  the  meantime. 

Quantity  Required — This  depends  upon  the  porosity  of  the 
surface,  but  may  be  roughly  figured  at  the  rate  of  about  10  lb. 
to  100  sq.  ft. 

Stuccotex  for  Wet  Concrete 

A  hydraulic  paint  for  uniforming  concrete  and  masonry 
surfaces,  or  for  decorating  wet  or  damp  stone,  brick  or  concrete 
surfaces,  such  as  swimming  pools,  retaining  walls,  etc.,  on  which 
oil  paints  cannot  be  successfully  used. 

Stuccotex  is  a  dry  powder  which  is  mixed  with  water  to 
the  right  consistency  and  brushed  onto  the  surface  after  that 
surface  has  been  thoroughly  saturated  with  water. 

Stuccotex  does  not  flake  or  crumble  off. 

Covering  Capacity— \2S  sq.  ft.  per  gal.,  2  coats. 

Truscon  Plaster  Bond 

A  black  compound  for  dampproofing  interiors  of  exposed 
masonry  walls.  Plaster  Bond  remains  flexible  and  tacky,  pro- 
viding a  permanent  bond  for  a  scratch  coat  of  plaster  troweled 
directly  onto  it,  thus  eliminating  furring  and  lathing.  Plaster 
Bond  is  not  recommended  for  use  on  ceilings. 

Covering  Capacity— About  80  sq.  ft.  per  gal.,  1  coat. 

Truscon  Foundation  Coat 

A  black  coating  furnished  ready  for  use  (no  heating)  for 
dampproofing  masonry  walls  below  grade.  Apply  with  a  large 
mop  or  brush.  More  economical  and  satisfactory  than  coal  tar, 
or  pitch. 

Covering  Capacity—^  sq.  ft.  per  gal,  1  coat. 

Temperite 

Quick  set  and  antifreeze  for  concrete  and  cement  mortar. 

Specifications  for  Using  Temperite 

Truscon  Temperite,  manufactured  by  The  Truscon  Labora- 
tories, Detroit,  Mich.,  shall  be  used  in  concrete  or  cement  mor- 
tar as  directed  below : 

If  Temperite  Liquid— Thin  in  the  proportion  of  1  gal. 
liquid  to  10  gal.  water.  Use  this  mixture  of  Temperite  and 
water  in  place  of  clear  water  for  gauging  the  mixture  of  cement 
and  aggregate. 

If  Temperite  Dry  Concentrated— Throw  2  lb.  of  Tem- 
perite Dry  Concentrated  into  the  mixer  for  every  bag  of  cement, 
turning  the  mixer  over  a  sufficient  number  of  times  to  insure 
a  thorough  solution  and  distribution  of  Temperite. 

Super-Por-Seal  Transparent  Dampproofing 

An  invisible  coating  for  protecting  and  dampproofing  exte- 
rior masonry  walls  above  grade.  May  be  applied  by  brush  or 
spray.  Super-Por-Seal  is  also  suitable  for  use  on  unexposed 
sides  of  cut  stone  to  prevent  penetration  of  moisture  and  result- 
ing discoloration. 

StoneTex  Concrete  Paint 

The  nationally  known  lime-resistant  masonry  coating  for 
protecting  and  dampproofing  exterior  brick,  stone,  stucco  or 
concrete.  Furnished  in  white  and  10  standard  shades.  Applied 
with  a  brush  or  spray.  Prevents  cold  and  moisture  from  filter- 
ing through  masonry  walls  and  avoids  disintegration  of  con- 
crete. Renovates  and  beautifies  masonry  buildings. 

Covering  Capacity— Ahoni  100  sq.  ft.  to  gal,  2  coats. 

Truscon  Floor  Hardeners 

Truscon  Ferricou  (Metallic) — See  Truscon  Ferricon  next  column. 
Truscon  Art-Koc — Coloring  and  Hardener  (see  next  column). 
Truscon  Hurundum — (See  next  column.) 


Metallic — Truscon  Floor  Hardener  is  a  metallic  hardener  designed  for 
giving  floors  in  factories,  warehouses  and  such  places  greater  resistance 
to  wear.  Forms  a  dense,  hard  finish.  Especially  applicable  to  new 
cement  floors,  or  to  floors  which  need  resurfacmg. 

Quantity  required:  30  lb.  to  each  100  sq.  ft. 

Chemical,  Dry — Agatex  Crystals,  a  chemical  hardener  for  cement 
floors,  furnished  in  dry  form.  Dissolved  in  water  and  applied  with  a 
brush  or  broom. 

Quantity  required:  about  1  lb.  to  each  50  sq.  ft. 

Chexuical,  liquid — Agatex  Liquid,  a  chemical  hardener  furnished  in 
highly  concentrated  form  for  stoppuig  dusting  and  crumbling  of  cement 
floors.    Applied  with  a  brush,  broom  or  similar  convenient  instrument. 

Quantity  required:  about  1  gal.  to  each  100  sq.  ft. 

Ferricon  Floor  Hardener 

A  "super"  floor  hardener  of  the  metallic  type — that  is,  a 
hardener  embodying  the  full  wear-resisting  qualities  of  Truscon 
Aletallic  Floor  Hardener,  together  with  the  new  product, 
Truscon  Zilicon.  The  presence  of  Zilicon  in  metallic  floor 
hardener  provides  a  concrete  of  greater  strength  and  tends  to 
increase  its  resistance  to  acid  and  alkali.  Zilicon  imparts  marked 
plasticity  and  workabihty  to  the  floor  topping.  Truscon  Fer- 
ricon produces  one  of  the  hardest,  toughest  and  most  wear- 
resisting  cement  floor  surfaces  it  is  possible  to  obtain. 

Quantity  required :  30  lb.  to  the  100  sq.  ft.  of  surface.  Dusted 
on  same  as  regular  Truscon  Floor  Hardener. 

Art-Roc 

Coloring,  Hardener,  Waterproofing — This  is  the  new  Art- 
Roc — a  combination  of  coloring,  hardener  and  waterproofing  in 
semi-liquid  form,  which  is  mixed  with  a  cement  topping  for 
producing  a  hard,  dustless,  colored  cement  surface,  but  espe- 
cially applicable  to  floors.  The  new  Art-Roc  contains  no  cal- 
cium chloride. 

Art-Roc  is  a  much  improved  product  over  the  ordinary  type 
of  floor  hardener  and  coloring — it  is  added  directly  to  the  batch 
at  the  rate  of  one  gallon  per  sack  of  cement.  This  applies  to 
all  colors.  The  colors  are  clear  and  bright,  due  to  the  incor- 
poration of  Zilicon  as  the  basic  hardening  ingredient. 

Colors— Tile  Red,  Linoleum  Brown,  French  Gray,  Buff, 
Alaroon,  Spanish  Green. 

Quantity  Required— One  gallon  of  the  New  Art-Roc  per 
sack  of  cement.  Estimate  about  4  gallons  for  each  100  sq.  ft. 
of  1-in.  topping. 

Art- Roc  Colorless 

The  same  hardening,  densifying  and  waterproofing  advan- 
tages as  described  under  Art-Roc  above,  may  be  obtained  with 
Art-Roc  Colorless.  Likewise  produced  in  semi-liquid  form  and 
added  directly  to  the  mix. 

Art-Roc  Colorless  neutralizes  the  lime  content  of  cement, 
thereby  causing  the  finish  to  show  greater  resistance  to  the 
action  of  mild  organic  acids.  Likewise  minimizes  the  shrinkage 
which  normally  occurs  in  the  contraction  of  the  colloid  of  the 
cement. 

Quantity  Required — One  quart  per  sack  of  cement.  Esti- 
mate about  one  gallon  of  Art-Roc  Colorless  per  100  sq.  ft.  of 
1-in.  topping. 

Hurundum  Floor  Hardener  (Non-Slip  and  Non-Rusting) 

Hurundum  is  a  dry  material  which  is  dusted  over  the  ce- 
ment finish  just  before  final  troweling,  exactly  in  the  same 
way  that  ordinary  Metallic  Floor  Hardener  is  used.  Hurundum 
differs  considerably  from  Metallic  Floor  Hardener,  however, 
in  that  the  material  is  slip-proof  and  rustproof.  This  is  be- 
cause Hurundum  contains  no  free  iron,  but  is  composed  of 
properly  graded  particles  of  fused  aggregates.  These  aggre- 
gates are  much  harder  than  iron— so  hard  they  will  scratch 
glass. 

Because  it  is  rustproof,  it  may  be  used  on  outdoor  floors, 
or  indoor  floors  subjected  to  frequent  wetting.  Because  of  the 
texture  of  the  Hurundum  aggregate,  a  Hurundum  finished 
floor  is  practically  a  slip-proof  floor. 

Colors— Green,  Red,  Buff,  Brown,  Natural. 

Quantity  Required— From  30  to  40  lbs.  per  100  sq.  ft. 

Alchemik  Concrete  Floor  Coating 

Especially  designed  for  coating  interior  basement  concrete 
floors,  or  concrete  floors  laid  directly  on  the  ground.  Not 
affected  by  moisture  or  alkali.  This  material  is  not  to  be  con- 
fused with  ordinary  oleo-resinous  floor  paints.  Contains  no 
vegetable  oils— instead  is  developed  out  of  pure  refined  rubber, 
which  accounts  for  its  immunity  to  alkali  in  concrete.  Covers 
about  20%  more  surface  than  oleo-resinous  floor  paints— hard, 
scuffproof,  very  adhesive.    Quick  drying. 

Colors— Stone  Gray,  Concrete  Gray,  Linoleum  Brown,  Tile 
Red,  Black,  White,  Clear— also  bright  Green,  Orange  and  Blue.

In  any  case,  Bethlehem  light-weight  beams  are  used 
in  an  identical  manner  with  the  heavier  wide-flange 
shapes,  and  usually  with  relatively  wide  spacing. 

The  size  and  shape  of  these  light  beams  affords  such 
stability  that  the  necessity  for  cross  bracing  or  bridging 
is  minimized.  Where  the  spans  are  unusually  long  and 
the  lateral  movement  is  apt  to  overcome  the  rigidity  of 
the  bracing  ordinarily  provided  by  the  concrete  floor 
slabs,  special  bridging  is  recommended. 

In  using  Bethlehem  Light  Sections  in  steel-concrete 
floor  construction  and  by  spacing  them  and  spanning 
them  to  their  capacity,  only  the  minimum    amount  of

CORKANSTELE  COMPANY 

Engineers  and  Builders  of  Corkanstele  Building  Construction 
270  Madison  Avenue.  NEW  YORK,  N.  Y. 


What  It  Is 

A  semi- fabricated  system  of  steel  framed,  insulated, 
building  construction  employing  pure  corkboard ;  in 
which  the  steel  frame  and  insulation  itself  form  the 
structure :  To  which  are  applied  the  interior  and  exterior 
finish,  finish  floors  and  ceilings,  decorations,  and  me- 
chanical equipment — all  within  the  complete  option  of 
the  architect. 

Scope  of  Design 

Corkanstele  construction  is  equally  suited  to  all  types 
of  architecture:  Colonial,  English,  Modernistic,  etc. 
The  architect  is  free  to  design  as  suits  his  subject,  the 
only  limit  being  our  standard  three-foot  module  for 
the  length  and  width  of  the  building. 


For  What  Classes  of  Structures 

Residences— $2,500  to  $50,000  and  upward.  Heating 
economy  (experience)  ranges  from  40%  to  60%. 

Churches  and  Parish  Houses — Intermittent  use 
structures  are  quickly  heated.  Air  conditioning  is  op- 
erated at  minimum  cost. 

Community  Buildings  and  Gymnasiums — A  par- 
ticularly economical  construction  for  any  large  open  in- 
terior structure. 

Movie  Houses  and  Theatres — Sound  control,  air 
conditioning,  and  decoration  are  effectively  inbuilt  with- 
out added  expense. 


CORKANSTELE 

Country  Clubs  and  Amusement  Places — Rapid  in- 
expensive erection.    Low  upkeep. 

Pent  Houses,  an  Extra  Story  or  Fire  Resistant 
Walls — Where  masonry  construction  is  too  heavy. 

Commercial  and  Industrial  Structures^ — Corkan- 
stele Building  Construction  was  developed  originally 
for  industrial  buildings,  particularly  for  refrigerated 
houses  such  as  ice,  fruit  and  meat  storage :  Buildings  in 
which  strength,  permanency  and  insulation  pre-emi- 
nently are  dominant  factors.  In  Corkanstele  refrigerated 
buildings  the  actual  walls  and  roofs  constitute  the  in- 
sulation itself  required  to  maintain  temperatures  inside 
as  low  as  0°  F.  or  lower.  None  but  the  best  type  of 
workmanship  and  material  can  permanently  maintain 
extreme  temperature  differences  such  as  these. 


Technical  Description 

Roof — Any  pitch  or  flat  roof ;  steel  rafters,  pure 
cork  insulation  continuous  with  wall  insulation.  Addi- 
tional nailing  surface  for  tile  or  slate. 

Cornice — Provision  for  any  detail. 

Walls — Steel  framed,  shrink  and  lightning  proof, 
dense  fire-resistant  corkboard  filler  3  in.  thick,  in  con- 
tinuous integral  insulation. 

Insulation — 3  in.  pure  dense  corkboard,  continuous 
over  entire  exterior  structural  area  of  house. 


The  Corkanstele  Structure 

The  steel  carries  the  loads; 
the  pure  cork  insulation,  3 
in.  thick,  is  continuous;  it  is 
not  penetrated  by  metal,  and 
constitutes  the  structure  it- 
self (patented)

work  or  other  trades 


CORKANSTELE  COMPANY 


Floors — Steel  beams,  precast  Corkcrete  slabs  ready  for  finish 
floor  and  flat  ceiling  by  others. 

Windows  and  Doors — Provision  in  steel  frame  for  secur- 
ing bucks,  frames,  and  trim  by  others. 

Exterior  Finish — Stucco,  siding,  shingles,  brick,  or  stone 
(by  others)  equally  optional. 

Interior  Finish — Plaster  or  plastic  paint  (by  others)  direct; 
or  furred  out  for  large  pipes  and  ducts.  Provision  for  securing 
trim. 

Floors  on  Fill — Of  Insulating  Corkcrete. 

Partitions — Sound-proof,  of  Corkcrete  blocks,  or  Corkboard. 

Foundations — By  others  w^ith  anchor  bolts  for  the  Cork- 
anstele  steel  framing  sill. 

Appearance — Of  finished  structure;  normal  within  and 
without.  Architectural  style  and  decoration  is  not  limited  by 
the  Corkanstele  construction. 

Theory — Experiment :  Long  Past — Corkanstele  is  the 
''house  broke"  version  of  a  commercial  type  of  insulative  build- 
ing construction  in  use  some  twenty  years  in  industrial  fields, 
particularly  cold  storage ;  where  precision  of  temperature  con- 
trol depends  on  proven  service — not  laboratory  ratings. 

Cost — Does  not  exceed  10%  more  than  standard  wood  frame 
construction  insulated,  for  small  buildings.  For  large  struc- 
tures and  residences  with  brick  or  masonry  walls  Corkanstele 
usually  effects  a  saving  in  cost. 

General  Notes 

Where  Corkanstele  Construction  Can  Be  Had — Single 
houses  or  small  developments  may  be  built  anywhere  within 
reach  of  our  branches  or  licensees.  Larger  developments — 
anywhere.  Corkanstele  is  erected  as  a  sub-contract  under  the 
general  contract,  which  otherwise  remains  unchanged. 

Rapid  Erection — Eight  to  fourteen  working  days  for 
medium  size  residences;  from  the  prepared  foundation  walls, 
to  completed  structural  enclosure. 

Other  Trades  Not  Inconvenienced — Corkanstele  con- 
struction has  been  developed  specifically  to  avoid  collateral  costs. 

Connective  Details — Either  customary,  simple  or  obvious. 
Working  details  of  standard  Corkanstele,  dimensions  and  con- 
nective details  available  for  drafting  room  use. 

Insulation  Is  Positive — The  insulation  is  the  structure  it- 
self. It  is  not  dependent  on  supervision,  workman  performance, 
or  accessibility  for  its  efficiency.  If  it's  built,  it's  insulated. 

Heating — Air  Conditioning — Wall  and  roof  exposure  may 
be  figured  at  .08  without  further  allowances.  Corkanstele  puts 
air  conditioning  on  the  same  positive  basis  of  performance  and 
maximum  economy  in  residential  work  as  is  basically  neces- 
sary in  industrial  refrigeration. 

Gas  Heating — With  no  consequential  heat  loss  other  than 
glass  area  and  air  changes,  residential  heating  by  gas  is  prac- 
ticable. 

Fire — Corkboard  when  plastered  or  stuccoed  (as  employed 
in  Corkanstele)  is  positively  fire  retardant.  (Underwriters 
Laboratories  Test,  Retardant  No.  559, 
July  10,  .) 

Vermin  —  Termites  —  Neither  like  it. 
Corkanstele  easily  is  made  completely  Ver- 
min Proof. 

Specifications 

Short  Form — Exterior  supporting  walls  and 
roof,  the  structural  floors  and  partitions,  but  not 
the  exterior  or  interior  finish  thereof,  shall  be

Carnegie  Light- Weight  Sections 

Engineers  and  designers  have  welcomed  the  addition  of 
Carnegie  Light- Weight  Sections  to  the  well  known  wide-flange 
CB  Series.  These  light  beams,  stanchions  and  joists  have  the 
same  efficient  distribution  of  metal  as  the  CB  Sections,  pro- 
viding the  greatest  possible  strength  per  pound  of  metal.  They 
are  found  particularly  useful  in  the  construction  of  floor,  roof 
or  wall  systems  of  apartments,  schools,  churches,  stores,  hos- 
pitals, etc.,  where  live  loads  are  relatively  light. 

Advantages 

Safety  and  stability  during  and  after  construction  because  of 
CB  wide  flange  design.  Extreme  rigidity,  eliminating  unsightly 
plaster  cracks  and  unpleasant  vibration.  Low  dead  weight  of 
construction  with  resultant  economies  in  the  entire  structure. 

Uses 

For  better  grade,  light-occupancy,  long  span  structures,  such 
as  fully  fireproofed  schools,  apartments  and  mercantile  build- 
ings, Carnegie  Light  Weight  Beams  are  used  in  the  same  man- 
ner as  standard-weight  structural  shapes  to  transmit  floor  or 
roof  loads  of  a  panel  into  main  supporting  beams  or  girders. 
In  this  class  of  cptistruction  the  beams  are  used  at  relatively 
wide  spacing  and  are  fully  encased.  The  weight  of  steel  is 
reduced  to  a  minimum.  The  sections  are  of  sufficient  stability 
so  that  no  special  bridging  or  bracing  of  the  top  flanges  is 
required. 

For  light-weight,  non-combustible,  fire-resistant  fjammg  or 
for  wall  bearing  construction,  such  as  two  or  three-slpry  apart- 
ments, large  residences,  and  light  mercantile  buildings,  Carnegie 
Light- Weight  Joists  are  recommended.  In  this  class  of  con- 
struction the  joists  are  not  encased,  but  support  a  fireproof

Development,  Bronx,  N.  Y. 

floor  slab,  the  sides  and  bottoms  being  protected  by  metal  lath 
and  several  coats  of  plaster.  The  joists  are  spaced  closely  on 
maximum  permissible  spans  for  their  depth.  This  close  spacing 
of  floor  joists  permits  an  appreciable  reduction  in  the  weight 
and  thickness  of  floor  slabs,  yet  without  an  excessive  use  of 
steel.

ation on  the  light-weight  sections  described  here  or  Carnegie 
standard  or  CB  wide  flange  sections,  consult  the  home  office

FERROCON  CORPORATION 

Queen  Street  and  Mermaid  Lane 
Chestnut  Hill  Station 

PHILADELPHIA,  PA. 


General 

Ferrocon  is  a  patented,  interlocking  steel  unit  build- 
ing system,  consisting  of  wall,  floor,  partition  and  roof 
units,  together  with  their  component  associated  con- 
necting parts.  Ferrocon  permits  the  use  of  flat  or 
pitched  roof  construction.  This  system  oflPers  the  archi- 
tect and  builder  wide  flexibility  of  design  and  exterior 
finish  whether  of  stone,  brick,  stucco,  clapboard,  etc. 
Any  desired  conventional  interior  finish  can  be  em- 
ployed. 

Description 

Ferrocon  units  consist  of  two  composite  key-ways 
constructed  of  heavy  gauge,  cold-rolled  steel,  protected 
against  corrosion,  and  spaced  by  an  approved  heavy 
gauge  expanded  and  ribbed  metal  lath.  A  three-inch 
filling  of  waterproofed  mineral  wool  or  other  fireproof 
insulation  is  interposed  between  the  metal  lath  sides 
of  the  unit. 

These  insulated  rigid  steel  units  are  furnished  in 
varying  widths  and  lengths  to  meet  any  architectural 
design.  Erection  of  these  units  is  simple  as  they  are 
butted  together  along  their  vertical  edges,  and  the  com- 
posite vertical  key-ways  aligned  and  keyed  together  with 
a  bi-tubular  heavy  gauge  steel  key,  which  remains  in 
permanent  engagement  with  the  abutted  key- ways  of 
the  units.  Each  pair  of  key-ways,  when  in  locking  en- 
gagement with  the  bi-tubular  keys,  form  a  composite 
stud  member  having  exceptional  strength,  far  in  excess 
of  any  known  building  code  requirement  (supported  by 
report  of  Pittsburgh  Testing  Laboratories). 

A  plurality  of  these  composite  steel  units  or  stud 
members  forms  the  steel  structure  of  the  building,  and 
as  the  lath  and  insulation  are  already  incorporated  in 
the  pre- fabricated  unit,  it  is  necessary  only  to  apply 
the  desired  plastic  coatings  or  finish  to  complete  the 
structure. 

The  Ferrocon  system  has  a  distinct  advantage  in 
that  it  lends  itself  readily  to  the  installation  of  all  elec- 
trical conductors,  service  piping  and  heating  or  air-con- 
ditioning ducts.  The  complete  Ferrocon  system  is 
thoroughly  protected  by  a  wide  range  of  issued  patents. 

Special  Features 

Ferrocon  is  highly  fire-resistant,  vermin  and  termite 
proof,  substantially  soundproof,  and  is  also  a  lightning 
arrester. 

Complete  assembly  of  all  integral  parts  under  the 
Ferrocon  system  results  in  extremely  rigid  and  sub- 
stantial construction. 

In  addition  to  providing  these  valuable  features,  the 
total  cost  of  a  house  constructed  of  Ferrocon  will 
approximate  the  cost  of  a  comparable  structure  of  wood

J  &  L  JUNIOR  BEAMS  FOR 
GENERAL  CONSTRUCTION 


1^  HE  J  &  L  JUNIOR  BEAM  is  the  lightest  rolled  structural  steel  I-beam  now  available  and 
was  designed  to  provide  the  building  industry  with  sections  which  would  make  possible  new 
economies  in  practically  all  types  of  construction.  That  this  object  has  been  accomplished  has 
been  proved  in  hundreds  of  buildings  ranging  from  small  residences  to  large  schools,  stores, 
apartments,  hospitals  and  many  other  light  occupancy  structures. 

The  Junior  Beam  is  made  of  structural  grade  steel  rolled  from  the  billet  to  the  full  I-section 
in  a  continuous  mill  with  but  slight  change  in  temperature  from  the  reheating  furnace  to  the 
cooling  bed. 

The  function  of  the  Junior  Beam  used  as  a  floor  beam  or  roof  purlin  is  to  carry  the  live 
and  dead  loads  and  transfer  them  to  the  heavier  main  carrying  members  of  the  frame  work  or 
to  the  supporting  walls. 

The  data  on  the  following  pages  are  divided  into  two  sections  for  convenience  of  use  and 
because  certain  requirements  govern  the  design  and  use  of  Junior  Beams  in  general  construction 
which  do  not  apply  when  they  are  used  in  residences.  The  first  section  contains  engineering  de- 
sign data  and  tables  which  the  architect,  engineer  and  contractor  will  use  for  buildings  other 
than  residences.  Loads,  spacings,  end  connections  and  floor  and  ceiling  construction  data  affect 
the  design  in  such  buildings.  The  second  section  relates  primarily  to  the  layout  and  construction 
of  floors  for  residences  for  which  the  design  is  less  complicated  and  the  plan  usually  involves 
fewer  details  and  more  simple  construction. 

Advantages  of  J  &  L  Junior  Beam  Floors 

The  J  &  L  Junior  Beam  Floor  offers  the  architect  and  contractor  many  advantages.  Some 
of  these  are  suggested  below  and  others  will  occur  to  the  reader  as  he  studies  the  data  in  this 
catalog. 

Unusual  economies  due  to  the  light  weight  of  the  floors  and  the  consequent  saving  in  main 
frame  and  foundations. 

No  shoring  is  necessary  to  place  the  concrete  slabs.  This  reduces  costs  and  permits  workmen 
to  install  partitions,  plumbing,  and  to  do  steam  fitting,  etc.,  without  waiting  for  removal  of  the 
shoring. 

Walls  can  be  erected  as  soon  as  the  steel  is  placed. 

Junior  Beams  are  carried  in  stock  and  are  available  without  delay.

ENGINEERING  DATA  ON  J  &  L  JUNIOR  BEAMS 
FOR  GENERAL  CONSTRUCTION 


Junior  Beams  are  homogeneous  steel  I-sections  in  their  original 
symmetrical  form  as  rolled  and,  as  such,  can  be  used  in  structural 
design  up  to  their  full  value  by  employing  standard  engineering 
formulae  and  without  empirical  assumptions. 

Official  Classification  of  Junior  Beams 

Junior  Beams  are  extensively  used  throughout  the  United  States 
and  Canada  in  floor  systems,  the  carrying  capacity  being  based  on 
the  same  fiber  stress  as  that  of  standard  weight  structural  steel 
sections. 

J  &  L  Junior  Beams  are  rated  as  structural  steel  by  the  Amer- 
ican Institute  of  Steel  Construction  and  their  properties  and  dimen- 
sions are  included  in  the  handbook  of  information  published  by 
the  Institute. 

Uses  for  Junior  Beams  and  General 
Construction 

The  principal  use  of  Junior  Beams  is  as  secondary  members  in 
floor  and  roof  construction  of  buildings.  They  are  also  being  used 


in  increasing  quantities  as  purlins,  rafters  and  girts  for  mill  and 
hangar  buildings,  ceiling  supports  over  auditoriums,  protection 
sheds  and  scaffolding,  monorails,  supports  for  conveying  and 
mechanical  equipment,  and  all  classes  of  structural  work  where, 
due  to  their  light  weight,  they  are  the  most  economical  sections 
to  be  used. 

The  adaptability  of  Junior  Beams  to  floor  construction  provide 
many  economies  due  to  light  weight  of  floor  and  ease  of  erection. 
A  floor  containing  the  least  amount  of  steel,  concrete  and  labor 
can  be  designed  by  judicious  combination  of  companion  mate- 
rials. It  is  advantageous  to  utilize  in  good  designs,  the  actual 
strength  of  properly  proportioned  thin  concrete  slabs  by  spacing 
Junior  Beams  to  their  capacity  and  also  where  practicable,  design- 
ing the  Junior  Beams  as  continuous  spans.  The  floor  will  be  light, 
rigid,  and  have  a  minimum  amount  of  deflection.  It  will  be  quickly 
erected,  firesafe  and  soundproof.  Precast  gypsum  slabs  and  other 
lightweight  materials  are  also  employed  in  obtaining  similar 
economies.

The  illustrations  below  show  the  method  of 
framing  Junior  Beams  to  a  steel  frame  with  clip 
angles,  and  details  of  the  standard  Junior  Beam 
end  connection. 

Clip  Angle  End 

Figs.  1  and  2  show  how  Junior  Beams  are 
framed  to  the  main  carrying  members  by  use 
of  one  clip  angle  at  each  end  of  the  Junior 
Beam.  The  Junior  Beams  and  carrying  beams 
are  merely  punched  before  shipment.  The  clip 
angles  may  be  shipped  loose,  or  bolted  to  either 
the  Junior  Beams  or  to  the  primary  members, 
as  desired. 

Standard  End 

Figs.  3,  4  and  5  show  details  of  the  J  &  L 
standard  Junior  Beam  end.  The  end  is  com- 
posed of  two  angles  riveted  back  to  back  on  the 
Junior  Beam.  In  all  three  of  these  sketches,  the

Where  possible  the  Junior  Beams  are  made  continuous  over     the  slab.  The  slab  is  poured  on  a  simple  form,  of  either  wood  or 


three  supports  or  more. 

By  encasing  the  top  flanges,  the  floor  is  made  rigid  and  does  not 
require  bridging  in  light  occupancy  buildings.  Where  concen- 
trated loads  must  be  transferred  over  two  or  more  beams,  it  is 
done  by  the  use  of  concrete  bridging  poured  monolithically  with 


metal.  If  wood  is  used,  the  beams  can  be  spaced  so  that  ripping  of 
form  boards  is  avoided.  Clips  are  furnished  for  fastening  the 
ceiling  furring  channels  to  the  bottom  flanges,  allowing  2  inches 
of  space  to  the  bottom  of  the  channels  in  which  to  run  electrical 
conduits.  This  is  the  most  economical  quality  floor  that  can 
be  built.

SPECIFICATIONS  FOR  J  &  L  JUNIOR  BEAMS  IN  GENERAL  CONSTRUCTION 


Architects  and  engineers  should  include  Junior 
Beams  in  the  structural  steel  section  of  specifications, 
as  they  are  an  integral  part  of  the  structural  framework 
of  the  building,  to  be  supplied  by  the  structural  steel 
contractor.  This  procedure  insures  proper  co-ordination 
of  design  and  detail  under  one  engineering  control  and 
also  proper  timing  of  arrival  of  all  structural  material 
to  the  site  and  erection  by  the  same  erector. 

The  following  specifications  have  been  developed 
with  the  idea  that  they  will  aid  designers  in  properly 
specifying  J  &  L  Junior  Beams.  Specifications  may  be 
used  either  in  whole  or  in  part  with  absolute  confidence; 
tliey  represent  the  best  thought  and  standard  practice 
at  the  present  time. 

Description — Tlie  structural  part  of  the  floor  system 
shall  consist  of  the  slab  supported  on  Jones  &  Laughlin 
Junior  Beams,  acting  as  secondary  members  of  dimen- 
sions as  shown  on  drawings.  Before  shipment,  all  J  &  L 
Junior  Beams  shall  be  given  a  coat  of  paint. 

Partitions — Proper  provision  shall  be  made  in  the 
loading  for  the  weight  of  partitions. 

Bridging — The  J  &  L  Junior  Beam  shall  be  bridged 
as  shown  on  the  drawings  with  (tension  compression) 
(  tie  rod)  (solid  concrete  crossbeam)  ( 12 14  gauge  wire) . 
Where  wire  or  tie  rod  bridging  is  used,  the  end  Junior 
Beam  in  each  panel  shall  be  fastened  to  bridging 
anchors  set  in  outside  wall  or  to  parallel  structural  steel. 

Wall  Plates — Standard  Junior  Beam  wall  plates 
shall  be  used  under  the  ends  of  Junior  Beams  resting 
on  bearing  walls. 

Anchors — Where  Junior  Beams  rest  on  masonry 
walls,  a  I/2  in.  by  8  in.  round  anchor  shall  be  used  (in 
such  Junior  Beams  as  the  local  building  code  requires). 

Sleepers — Where  wood  floors  on  top  of  concrete 
slabs  attached  to  sleepers  are  specified,  the  sleepers 
shall  be  preferably  of  hardwood,  embedded  in  the  slab. 
Sleepers  shall  be  attached  to  the  tops  of  Junior  Beams 
by  means  of  proper  clips.  Sleepers  shall  be  run  (at 
right  angles  to  the  Junior  Beams  and  be  spaced  .  .  .  in. 
apart)  (diagonally  to  the  Junior  Beams).  Substitution 
may  be  made  for  the  above,  dependent  upon  the  type 
of  floor  system  under  consideration. 

Floor  Slabs — Concrete  floor  slabs  shall  be  designed 
to  suit  the  loading  and  spacing  of  Junior  Beams.  The 
slabs  shall  be  poured  on  (self-centering  lath)  (paper- 
backed fabric)  (removable  forms).  The  concrete  shall 
be  composed  of  one  part  cement  and  a  graded  mixture 
consisting  of  not  more  than  seven  parts  of  fine  and 
coarse  aggregate.  Where  the  slab  is  poured  on  lath,  it 


shall  be  mixed  sufficiently  dry  to  prevent  dripping. 
Where  the  slab  is  poured  on  removable  forms,  the  max- 
imum size  of  the  aggregate  shall  be  ^/^  in.  and  the  con- 
crete shall  be  of  a  consistency  which  will  allow  it  to 
encase  the  beam  flanges  and  flow  under  the  wood 
sleepers.  Where  floor  slabs  of  other  material  than  con- 
crete are  used,  they  shall  be  designed  to  carry  the  spe- 
cified loading  in  accordance  with  manufacturer's  speci- 
fications. 

Permanent  Centering — Lath  shall  be  applied  with 
sheets  running  at  right  angles  to  the  Junior  Beams. 
Metal  lath  shall  be  securely  fastened  to  the  tops  of  the 
Junior  Beams  with  lath  clips  on  12  in.  centers,  except 
at  ends  of  sheets  where  lath  clips  shall  be  at  6  in.  cen- 
ters, and  applied  with  a  special  tool  furnished  by  the 
manufacturers  of  the  J  &  L  Junior  Beams.  Lath  sheets 
shall  be  securely  wired  together  along  the  side  laps  mid- 
way between  Junior  Beams.  Any  approved  form  of 
metal  lath  or  backed  floor  fabric  may  be  used.  Any  and 
all  clips,  ties,  or  other  accessories  necessary  for  the 
proper  application  of  each  particular  type  of  centering 
shall  be  used  in  accordance  with  these  specifications  or 
the  specifications  of  the  manufacturer  of  the  respective 
centering  materials.  The  writer  of  the  specifications 
shall  define  the  type  and  quality  of  the  centering  to 
meet  the  particular  requirements. 

Removable  Forms — Either  wood  or  steel  forms  may 
be  employed,  placed  so  that  the  compression  flange  of 
the  Junior  Beams  will  be  embedded.  Where  a  plaster 
ceiling  is  not  used  and  appearance  is  a  factor,  there 
should  be  a  minimum  of  %  in.  embedment  of  top  flange. 
Standard  practice  regarding  the  use  of  shoreless  forms 
will  obtain. 

Temperature  and  Shrinkage  Reinforcing — When 
finished  floors  are  made  of  composition,  terrazzo  or 
materials  other  than  wood,  provisions  shall  be  made  for 
proper  size  of  steel  reinforcing. 

Ceiling  Lath — Ceiling  lath,  covered  elsewhere  under 
plastering  specifications  shall  be  firmly  wired  to  (pencil 
rods)  (furring  channels)  which  in  turn  shall  be  se- 
curely fastened  to  the  bottom  flanges  of  the  Junior 
Beams  by  means  of  approved  clips.  Use  of  J  &  L  fur- 
ring clip  to  obtain  proper  space  for  conduits  is  recom- 
mended. 

Where  the  spacings  of  the  Junior  Beams  are  narrow, 
flat  or  ribbed  lath  may  be  fastened  directly,  by  means 
of  an  approved  clip,  to  the  lower  flanges  of  the  Junior 
Beams.  Ribbed  lath  shall  be  applied  so  that  the  ribs  are 
at  right  angles  to  the  direction  of  the  pencil  rods,  or, 
when  pencil  rods  are  omitted,  to  Junior  Beams.

J  &  L  JUNIOR  BEAM  FLOORS 
FOR  RESIDENCES 


Study  of  deterioration  in  residential  construction  reveals  that, 
even  with  the  best  of  foundations,  walls  and  roof,  serious  and 
expensive  defects  develop  as  soon  as  shrinkage  occurs  in  the  floor 
joists,  as  it  will  when  they  are  of  wood.  The  immediate  effect 
of  this  shrinkage  is  a  settling  of  all  interior  construction  depend- 
ing on  the  floor  joists  for  support.  The  results  are  plaster  cracks 
in  walls  and  ceilings,  twisted  door  frames,  uneven  floors  and  gaps 
between  baseboards  and  flooring. 

When  the  J  &  L  Junior  Beam  floor  for  residences  is  used,  the 
first  floor  is  an  integral  part  of  the  foundations,  providing  the 
same  rigid,  vibration-free,  non-shrinkable  support  for  the  interior 
walls  of  the  house  that  the  foundations  provide  for  the  exterior 
walls.  It  acts  as  a  complete  fire  stop  between  the  basement  and 
the  remainder  of  the  house,  and  prevents  moisture  from  rising 
through  partition  walls  to  the  floors  above.  It  is  vermin-proof  and 
impervious  to  the  attacks  of  termites. 


The  J  &  L  Junior  Beam  floor  for  residences  is  universally 
adaptable.  It  may  be  used  as  the  first  floor  of  any  house,  without 
imposing  any  restrictions  whatever  on  either  the  architect  or  the 
builder.  The  additional  advantages  of  having  the  same  steel  and 
concrete  system  for  the  floors  above  the  first  are  available  in  any 
house  having  solid  masonry  walls  or  steel  framing.  Any  type  of 
wearing  surface  may  be  applied,  hardwood,  terrazzo,  tile,  linoleum, 
composition  block,  etc.  By  following  the  methods  described  and 
illustrated  in  the  following  pages,  the  architect  can  easily  design 
a  Junior  Beam  floor  and  any  experienced  builder  can  make  up 
his  list  of  materials  and  install  this  steel  and  concrete  system  as 
easily  as  the  old-fashioned  wooden  joist  floor.  The  materials  may 
be  obtained  through  the  usual  sources  of  steel  supply,  or  the 
Jones  &  Laughlin  Steel  Corporation  will  furnish  the  names  of 
Junior  Beam  dealers  in  any  given  territory. 


CONSTRUCTION  OF  A  J  &  L  JUNIOR  BEAM  FLOOR 


The  principal  materials  in  the  J  &  L  Junior  Beam 
floor  for  residences  are  steel  and  concrete,  combined 
to  give  maximum  structural  soundness  at  lowest  cost. 
No  fabrication  is  required  for  connecting  the  steel 
beams.  See  Figure  1,  in  which  (1)  shows  how  Junior 
Beams  rest  on  lower  flange  of  carrying  member  and 
(2)  how  standard  stirrup  hanger  is  used  to  support 
Junior  Beam  at  right  angle  to  another  Junior  Beam  or 
standard  I-beam. 

Fig.  2-a  illustrates  the  installation  of  the  Junior  Beam 
Floor  in  veneer  construction.  Outside  brick  wall,  in- 
terior wall,  concrete  firestop  and  slab  and  the  hard- 
wood wearing  surface  are  cut  away  to  show  details  ot 
the  floor.  The  Junior  Beams  are  shown  resting  directly 
on  concrete  foundations.  The  sleepers  (2  in.  by  3  in. 
wooden  nailing  strips)  are  held  securely  to  the  steel  by  two  plate 
clips  at  each  point  where  they  cross  a  Junior  Beam.  Two  plain 

steel  reinforcing 
bars,  i"-  diam- 
eter, are  fastened  to 
the  Junior  Beams 
between  sleepers. 
The  concrete  floor 
slab  and  the  con- 
crete firestop  along 
the  foundation  wall 
are  then  poured  in 
temporary  wooden 
forms,  imbedding 
the  top  flanges  of 
the  Junior  Beams, 
so  that  the  beams, 
sleepers  and  rein- 
forcing rods  are 
held  rigidly  in 
place.  Sleepers  are 
spaced  from  12  in. 
to  16  in.  apart  and

eled  approximately  ^4  %  i"-  below  the  tops  of  them.  The 

hardwood  floor  is  nailed  directly  to  the  sleepers.  The  2  in.  by  4  in. 
plate  for  receiving  sidewall  studs  is  nailed  to  wooden  blocks 
imbedded  in  the  concrete  firestop  along  the  sidewall  shown. 

Fig.  2-b  shows  the  J  &  L  Junior  Beam  floor  for  residences  with 
linoleum  finish.  When  the  finished  floor  is  to  be  linoleum,  tile, 
terrazzo,  wood  parquet  or  any  material  to  be  set  in  mastic,  no 
sleepers  are  necessary.  The  concrete  slab  is  floated  smooth  at  the 
time  of  pouring,  and  requires  no  separate  finish  to  receive  the 
mastic.  The  finished  flooring  is  then  applied  according  to  the 
manufacturer's  specifica- 


tions. In  this  floor,  1/4 
in.  steel  reinforcing  bars 
are  placed  18  in.  apart 
at  right  angles  to  the 
principal  reinforcing  of 
similar  material,  to  pre- 
vent temperature  cracks 
in  the  slab.  Reinforcing 
mesh  of  equivalent 
strength  may  be  used  in 
place  of  reinforcing 
bars.

with  13/16"  holes  in  webs  about  4'.0"  Cts. 

The  length  given  for  the  main  carrying  beam  allows  6" 
bearing  on  the  foundation  wall  and  holds  the  other  endy 
supported  by  columns,  1"  from  the  stair  opening.  Junior 
Beams  are  specified  at  lengths  that  allow  3^/^"  bearing  on 
foundation  walls  and  approximately  %"  clearance  from 
center  of  main  carrying  member  to  allow  for  the  web  thick- 
ness of  that  section. 

The  Junior  Beam  stairwell  headers  U3  and  J5  on  Figure 
3 )  are  cut  to  allow  approximately  "  clearance  between  the 
ends  of  them  and  the  edge  of  the  flanges  of  the  Junior 
Beams  (Jl  and  J4  on  Figure  3)  on  which  they  are  supported 
by  standard  stirrup  hangers.  Note  that  in  ordering  standard 
stirrup  hangers  to  support  one  beam  at  right  angles  to  an- 
other,  the  size  and  type  of  both  the  beam  to  be  supported 
and  the  carrying  beam  must  be  specified. 


APPLYING  THE  J  &  L  JUNIOR  BEAM  S 

In  the  preceding  page  the  application  of  the  Junior  Beam  system 
has  been  limited  to  the  first  floor,  as  a  Junior  Beam  first  floor  may 
be  installed  in  any  house  regardless  of  the  materials  used  for  frame 
and  outside  wall.  The  additional  advantages  of  also  having  the 
Junior  Beam  system  in  floors  above  the  first  are  available  in  any 
house  having  masonry  walls  or  steel  framing. 

While  Junior  Beam  floors  throughout  a  house  represent  addi- 
tional dead  load,  the  footer  course  under  foundation  walls  need 
not  be  wider  than  the  usual  18  in.  or  24  in.,  providing  the  soil  will 
safely  support  a  load  of  3,000  lbs.  per  sq.  ft.  The  load  on  exterior 
walls  is  about  4,500  lbs.  per  lin.  ft.  The  load  on  the  columns  is 
90  lbs.  per  sq.  ft.  of  floor  supported  when  the  live  load  is  cal- 
culated at  40  lbs.  In  this  house,  the  center  column  supports  420 


STEM  TO  FLOORS  ABOVE  THE  HRST 

sq.  ft.  of  floor,  or  about  36,000  lbs.  and  the  column  footing  should 
be  designed  accordingly. 

The  vertical  supports  may  be  either  regular  pipe  columns  or 
4  in.  H-sections  with  plates  welded  or  bolted  on  both  top  and 
bottom.  Plates  on  the  columns  should  not  be  wider  than  flange 
on  the  main  carrying  member  the  columns  support.  The  only 
holes  in  all  of  this  steel  construction  which  must  be  located 
accurately  are  those  in  the  flanges  of  the  main  carrying  members 
providing  for  bolting  these  beams  to  tlie  plates  on  the  ends  of  the 
columns.  As  in  Junior  Beam  first  floor  construction,  Junior  Beams 
throughout  other  floors  are  rested  on  masonry  walls  and  bottom 
flanges  of  main  carrying  members,  or  are  supported  in  standard

The  second  floor  architectural  and  steel  plans  (Fig.  4,  next  page) 
illustrate  how  the  same  beam  arrangement  used  in  the  first  floor 
is  retained  as  far  as  possible  in  the  second  floor,  with  the  main 
carrying  member  and  supporting  columns  in  the  same  relative 
positions.  This  allows  for  duplication  in  lengths  of  materials  used 
in  the  two  floors  and  also  permits  the  builder  to  use  much  of  his 
form  lumber  in  the  second  floor  just  as  he  used  it  in  the  first  floor. 

The  procedure  in  laying  out  the  steel  for  the  second  floor  is  thfe 


same  as  that  followed  in  making  up  the  bill  of  materials  for  the 
first  floor.  The  main  carrying  member  is  located,  the  stairwell 
framed,  Junior  Beams  doubled  under  non-bearing  partitions  and 
the  remaining  area  spanned  by  Junior  Beams  spaced  to  correspond 
as  nearly  as  possible  with  the  first  floor  Junior  Beam  spacing.  It 
will  be  noted  that  a  header  beam  has  been  placed  across  the  pro- 
jection at  the  rear  of  the  house,  to  support  the  wall  above  it,  just 
as  a  similar  header  beam  was  placed  across  the  projection  at  the 
front  of  the  house  in  the  first  floor  steel  plan.  Because  of  the  addi-

tional  load  of  bathroom  floor  and  walls,  an  8  in.  standard  I-beam 
is  used  in  place  of  a  Junior  Beam  at  this  point. 

It  will  be  seen  from  the  location  of  radiators  and  bathroom 
fixtures,  as  shown  in  the  steel  plan,  that  it  will  be  necessary  for  the 


steam  fitter  and  plumber  to  burn  only  a  few  holes  in  the  webs  of 
Junior  Beams  to  accommodate  piping. 

As  in  the  case  of  the  foundation  walls,  the  second  floor  walls 
are  brought  to  an  even  elevation.

THE  J  &  L  JUNIOR  BEAM  ATTIC  FLOOR 


The  architectural  and  steel  plans  (Fig.  4)  for  the  attic  illustrate 
the  similarity  between  making  up  the  bill  of  material  for  this  floor 
and  for  the  first  and  second  floors.  The  principal  difference  be- 


tween this  floor  and  those  under  it  is  the  absence  of  non-bearing 
partitions  paralleling  the  Junior  Beams  in  the  attic,  which  makes 
it  unnecessary  to  double  the  beams  at  any  point.

The  large  Section  C-C  shows  8-in.  deep  Junior 
Beams  framing  into  a  10-in.  flat  flange  girder. 
The  Junior  Beams  rest  directly  on  the  flat  lower 
flange  of  the  girder  without  fabrication.  Either 
8-in.  or  9-in.  (see  smaller  Section  C-C)  frame 
into  a  10-in.  girder  without  coping.  Wooden 
sleepers  are  fastened  securely  to  the  top  flanges 
of  the  Junior  Beams  by  two  standard  sleeper 
clips  and  steel  reinforcing  bars  are  attached  with 
standard  reinforcing  rod  clips.  Where  doorways 
are  cut  through  the  bearing  partition,  sole  plates 
are  omitted  and  the  flooring  runs  over  the  girder 
without  a  break.  Section  D-D  shows  the  construc- 
tion of  a  typical  bay  and  Section  E-E  shows  the 
spacing  of  the  Junior  Beams  at  a  non-bearing 
partition. 

The  vertical  supports  may  be  either  regular 
(unfilled)  pipe  columns  or  4-in.  H-sections  with 
plates  bolted  or  welded  on  both  top  and  bottom. 
Plates  should  be  no  wider  than  the  girder  flanges.

When  the  finished  floor  is  to  be  linoleum,  tile, 
terrazzo,  wood  parquetry  blocks,  or  any  material 
to  be  set  in  mastic,  no  sleepers  are  necessary.  The 
concrete  slab  is  floated  smooth  at  the  final  pour- 
ing and  requires  no  separate  finish  to  receive  the 
mastic.  The  finished  flooring  is  then  applied  ac- 
cording to  the  manufacturer's  directions.  The 
8-in.  24#  flat  flange  section  is  used  as  a  girder. 
The  slab  passes  over  the  top  of  the  main  carrying 
member  as  shown  in  Section  C-C. 

When  8-in.  or  9-in.  Junior  Beams  are  required 
to  carry  the  load,  they  must  be  coped  for  framing 
into  the  8-in.  girder  (see  lower  small  Section 
C-C).  The  7-in.  Junior  Beams  can  be  framed 
without  coping  (see  upper  small  Section  C-C). 
Since  the  top  flanges  of  the  Junior  Beams  are 
held  rigidly  by  the  slab,  no  bridging  is  necessary 
to  insure  lateral  rigidity.  Section  D-D  shows 
construction  of  typical  bay. 

The  vertical  supports  may  be  either  regular 
pipe  columns  or  4-in.  H-sections  with  plates

should  be  no  wider  than  the  girder  flange.

At  "A"  above  is  shown  hardwood  flooring  applied  to 
sleepers.  With  a  10  in.  girder,  it  is  necessary  to  use  8  in. 
or  larger  Junior  Beams.  This  is  so  that  2  in.  by  3  in. 
sleepers  will  carry  the  finish  flooring  over  the  top  flange 
of  the  girder.  With  an  8  in.  girder  any  size  Junior  Beams 
may  be  used  that  satisfy  the  requirements  of  the  load  to 
be  carried. 

At  "B"  is  shown  hardwood  parquetry  block  flooring  set 
in  mastic,  and  made  to  line  with  the  construction  at  "A" 
by  making  the  slab  \(^  in.  thicker.  Parquetry  block  floors 
not  required  to  line  with  wood  flooring  on  sleepers  would 
have  the  usual  2V2  in-  slab. 

Details  "C"  and  "D"  show  how  tile  or  linoleum  floors 
are  made  to  line  with  the  wood  floor,  in  cases  where  they 
are  used  for  baths,  kitchens,  etc. 

For  ordinary  basement  ceilings,  J  &  L  Junior  Beam 


construction  presents  a  neat  and 
acceptable  appearance.  Where  spe- 
cial rooms  require  a  plastered 
ceiling,  the  construction  is  ren- 
dered very  simple  by  the  use  of 
standard  J  &  L  furring  clips,  (see 
illustration).  These  are  made  in 
four  sizes  to  permit  a  clearance  of 
%  in.,  1  in.,  1^4  in-»  or  2  in.  be- 
tween the  bottoms  of  the  beams 
and  the  plaster.  The  installation  of 
electric  conduit  may  be  handled  in 
several  different  ways.  It  may  be 
imbedded  in  the  concrete  slab. 
Flexible    conduit    may    be  run 

through  holes  punched  at  the  neu-  

tral  axis  in  the  webs  of  the  Junior 
Beams.  Flexible  conduit  may  be  run  between  the  plaster 
and  the  bottoms  of  the  Junior  Beams  by  the  use  of  the 
standard  furring  clips.  Rigid  conduit  may  be  fastened  to 
the  bottom  flanges  of  the  Junior  Beams,  in  which  case,  if 
a  plaster  ceiling  is  to  be  applied,  the  2  in.  furring  clips 
are  used  to  give  ample  room.  For  ceiling  finishes  that 
must  be  held  in  place  by  nails,  furring  strips  are  fas- 
tened to  the  bottom  flanges  by  inverting  the  standard 
sleeper  clips.

For  supporting  a  Junior  Beam  at  right  angles 
to  another  Junior  Beam  or  standard  I-beam,  a 
standard  stirrup  hanger  is  employed.  This  is  not 
a  fixed  connection.  The  stirrup  hanger  keeps  the

•  Specification  of  STKAN-STEEL  and  fire-safe  construc- 
tion for  the  house  shown  above  was  made  after  the 
foundations  were  finished.  The  change  did  not  alter  a 
single  dimension  or  delay  completion. 


WHAT  IT  IS— STRAN-STEEL  is  a  light  gauge,  exceedingly 
strong  steel  framing  material  for  houses,  partitions  and  all  light 
loadbearing  structures.  It  is  not  to  be  confused  with  standard 
structural  steel  which  is  used  in  the  framing  of  relatively  large 
buildings.  A  feature  of  its  design  (see  phantom  illustration  be- 
low) permits  nailing  collateral  materials  directly  to  the  steel. 
STRAN-STEEL  is  supplied  in  the  form  of  joists,  studs,  rafters 
and  plates  (see  page  8)  and  is  carried  in  stock  in  standard 
lengths  (see  table,  page  12).  It  is  shop-coated  with  an  adhesive 
finish  which  protects  it  so  thoroughly  that  no  field  painting  is 
required. 

HOW  IT  IS  USED— Since  STRAN-STEEL  is  produced  to 
conform  to  the  established  dimensions  of  the  materials  which  it 
replaces,  its  use  requires  no  changes  in  architectural  plans  or 
dimensions.  STRAN-STEEL  permits  the  use  of  all  standard 
exterior  and  interior  materials  and  finishes.  It  is  erected  easily 
and  rapidly  by  anyone  skilled  in  carpentry.  Connections  are 
made  by  simple  attachments  (see  page  9),  screw  driver,  and 
metal  screws.    No  welding  is  required. 

Framing  a  building  with  STRAN-STEEL  follows  the  traditional 
practice  closely,  except  that  all  members  are  ordinarily  spaced 
on  two-foot  centers.  This  reduces  the  number  of  members  used 
and  materially  simplifies  certain  subsequent  operations  such  as 
duct  work.  Foundation  thicknesses  are  unchanged.  Standard 
STRAN-STEEL  specifications  are  shown  in  condensed  form  on 
page  10.  STRAN-STEEL  is  used  in  many  ways  other  than  in 
house  construction;  some  interesting  industrial  uses  are  illus- 
trated and  described  on  page  11. 

WHAT  IT  DOES— STRAN-STEEL  framing  used  with  con- 
crete sub-floors  (see  pages  2  and  3)  and  fire-safe  collateral  ma- 
terials makes  a  wholly  fire-safe  structure.  The  steel  framework 
being  grounded  by  soil  pipes,  water  pipes,  etc.,  the  entire  struc- 


ture is  completely  lightning-proof.  (Radio  reception,  however,  is 
not  affected.)  STRAN-STEEL  framing  entirely  eliminates  joist 
and  stud  shrinkage  with  its  attendant  plaster  cracks,  warped  floors 
and  sticking  doors  and  windows.  A  STRAN-STEEL  structure 
remains  indefinitely  exactly  as  built— a  credit  to  its  designer 
and  builder — a  source  of  satisfaction  and  security  to  its  owner. 
STRAN-STEEL,  obviously,  is  termite-proof, 

HOW  IT  IS  SOLD— STRAN-STEEL  is  sold  by  the  lineal 
foot.  It  is  stocked  in  standard  lengths  (see  table,  page  12).  The 
plate  and  half-stud  (illustrated  on  page  8)  are  stocked  and 
shipped  in  20-foot  lengths  and  cut  with  a  hack  saw.  STRAN- 
STEEL  is  handled  through  120  dealers  in  most  principal  cities. 
Plans  may  be  submitted  to  these  dealers  or  may  be  sent  directly 
to  the  company  for  estimates.  Delivery  may  usually  be  made 
either  by  truck  or  freight  within  a  few  days  to  nearly  any  part 
of  the  country. 

WHAT  IT  COSTS— ST  RAN- 
STEEL  and  fire-safe  construction 
costs,  in  most  localities,  about  the 
same  as  solid  masonry  construction, 
and  of  course  permits  much  greater 
latitude  in  the  matter  of  design,  wall 
and  roof  construction  and  insula- 
tion. When  the  savings  in  mainte- 
nance, repairs  and  insurance  are 
calculated  over  the  entire  financing 
period,  STRAN-STEEL  fire-safe

Right:  Bricking  in  ends  of  STRAN-STEEL  joists. 


STRAN-STEEL. 
SHRINK-PROOF 


STEEL  FOR  PERMANEIVCY— Floor  construction  is  of 
great  importance  in  the  elimination  of  shrinkage  damage  as  well 
as  in  the  protection  of  the  entire  structure  against  basement  fire 
hazards.  STRAN-STEEL  framing  permanently  eliminates  shrink- 
age and  warpage  and  also  makes  possible  new  economies  in  fire- 
safe  floor  construction. 

FIRE-STOP  FLOORS  WITH  STRAN-STEEL— House 
construction  can  no  longer  be  classed  as  modern  which  does  not 
include  fire-safe  floors  at  first  and  second  stories.  STRAN-STEEL 
is  particularly  adaptable  to  this  type  of  construction.  A  4-lb. 
ribbed  or  wire  reinforced  lath  procurable  in  8  ft.  2  in.  lengths 
is  stapled  directly  to  the  tops  of  STRAN-STEEL  joists.  On  this 
is  poured  a  2-in.  concrete  slab  (  lbs.,  1-3-4  mix).  Concrete 
subfloors  correctly  laid  are  safe,  permanent  and  virtually  sound- 
proof. 

SETTING  STRAN-STEEL  JOISTS— STRAN-STEEL  floor 
framing  parallels  conventional  practice  exactly.  STRAN-STEEL 
joists  are  all  8  in.  deep  and  vary  only  in  the  thickness  or  gauge 
of  the  steel.  Longer  spans  and  heavier  loads  require  heavier 
gauge  steel  (see  table,  page  13).  The  8-in.  uniform  depth  per- 
mits lower  roof  lines  without  sacrifice  of  ceiling  heights  and 
saves  from  two  to  four  inches  of  all  collateral  materials  at  each 
story.    Outside  foundation  walls  running  parallel  to  joists  are 


laid  up  8  in.  higher  than  walls  on  which  the  joists  are  set.  Joists 
are  ordinarily  spaced  24  in.  on  centers  and  ends  are  bricked  in 
or  closed  with  concrete  backup  fill.  Joists  are  easily  framed  into 
each  other  by  means  of  joist  hangers  (shown  on  page  9). 

SETTING  ANCHOR  ROLTS— Anchor  bolts  should  conform 
in  diameter,  length  and  spacing  to  local  building  codes.  Usually 
^/^-in.  bolts  approximately  4  ft.  apart  are  used.  Bolts  12  in.  long 
are  recommended  for  poured  foundation  walls,  16  in.  where  ma- 
sonry units  are  used.  Bolts  should  extend  1  in.  above  level  of 
joist  tops  and  not  closer  to  corners  than  12  in.  In  outer  walls, 
anchor  bolts  should  be  set  on  either  side  of  heater  ducts  and 
door  openings.  Distance  from  outside  finish  wall  to  center  line 
of  anchor  bolts  is  easily  calculated.  (See  illustration  above.) 
Absolute  accuracy  in  setting  anchor  bolts  is  not  essential  since 
holes  in  plate  are  punched  on  the  job. 

RRIDGING— STRAN-STEEL  bridging  (see  page  9)  is  formed 
from  light,  rigid  channel.  It  is  notched  at  both  ends  to  engage 
joist  flanges  and  is  easily  and  rapidly  attached. 

STRAN-STEEL  PLATE— The  plate  in  STRAN-STEEL  fram- 
ing serves  the  same  purpose  as  the  plate  in  ordinary  construction. 
It  is  a  16-gauge  channel  to  which  the  studs  are  attached.  It  is 
punched  at  intervals  of  one  inch  to  permit  the  use  of  steel  attach-

Description  of  J  &  L  Light  Weight  Channels 

J  &  L  Light  Weight  Channels  are  produced  on  mod- 
ern rolling  mills  and  are  similar  in  type  to  standard 
channel  sections. 

They  have  constant  dimensions,  making  fabricating 
and  fitting  to  other  work  economical. 


Due  to  the  rolled  shape,  the  material  is 
ready,  as  received,  for  fabrication  into  various 
uses,  including  stair  stringers,  thereby  saving 
time. 

The  rolled  shape  also  reduces  to  the  mini- 
mum shop  equipment  for  fabrication.  J  &  L 
Light  Weight  Channels  are  economical  in 
weight  and  form  a  strong  structure.  The 
lines  are  straight  and  true,  resulting  in  proper 
fitting  at  the  joints,  thus  making  a  well-finished  instal- 
lation. 

These  sections  are  now  available  in  two  sizes :  10  in. 
8.4  lb.  per  ft.  and  12  in.  10.6  lb.  per  ft. 

J  &  L  Light  Weight  Channels  are  available  for  imme- 
diate shipment  from  the  following  points :  Chicago,  Cin- 
cinnati, New  Orleans,  Pittsburgh  and  Detroit.  Carried 
in  lengths  of  20,  25,  30,  40  and  50  ft.

FERALUN,  BRONZALUN,  ALUMALUN  and  NICALUN  ANTI-SLIP  WALKWAYS 

'J  he  Description,  rses,  Forms,  etc.,  of  Feraliiu,  as  Outlined  Behnv,  Atply  also  to  Alumalnn,  Bronzahm  and  Nicalun  Except 

for  the  difference  in  the  Metal  Matrix 


General  Description 

Feralun,  Bronzalun,  Aluma- 
LUN  and  Nicalun  are  the  trade 
names  given  by  the  American 
Abrasive  Metals  Co.  to  its  anti- 
sHp  abrasive  castings,  each  trade 
name  indicating  respectively  the 
metal  used  as  a  matrix.  Grains 
of  the  hardest  known  electric  fur- 
nace abrasive  product  are  incor- 
porated in  the  wearing  surface  of 
these  castings  to  provide  maxi- 
mum wear  and  anti-slip  qualities. 
By  a  special  process  of  manufac- 
ture these  grains  are  uniformly 
and  deeply  impregnated  in  the 
face  of  the  castings,  so  that  they 
become  an  integral  part  of  the 
castings  and  not  simply  a  surface 
covering. 

Durable — Stairs,  entrances,  platforms  or  other  walkway  sur- 
faces equipped  with  Feralun,  Bronzalun,  Alumalun  or  Nicalun 
will  outlast  the  normal  life  of  the  building  with  no  expense  for 
repairs  or  maintenance.  The  first  cost  is  the  last.  The  record 
of  these  products  in  subways,  schools,  public  and  private 
buildings,  commercial  and  industrial  structures  of  all  kinds 
throughout  the  United  States  is  ample  support  for  the  above 
statement. 

Safe — The  abrasive  surface  is  carried  over  the  nosing  edge 
affording  anti-slip  protection  and  wear  resistant  qualities  at  the 
point  of  greatest  wear.  The  abrasive  surface  is  equally  effec- 
tive wet  or  dry. 

Generally  Approved — Feralun  and  its  sister  i)roducts  are  uni- 
versally approved  by  the  Industrial 
Boards  of  New  York  and  other  stales 
as  well  as  insurance  carriers  in  general. 
Feralun  holds  the  Grand  Prize  of  the 
American  Museum  of  Safety. 

Special  Casting  Process — The 
American  Abrasive  Metals  Go's  Prod- 
ucts are : 

(1)  Produced  entirely  in  that  Com- 
pany's own  plant  by  men  whose  only 
interest  is  to  turn  out  the  finest  mate- 
rial possible. 

(2)  Made  by  a  special  casting  process 
by  means  of  which  the  abrasive  grains 
are  embedded  and  held  deep  in  the 
face  of  the  casting. 

This  special  process  has  been  devel- 
oped by  the  American  Abrasive 
Metals  Co.,  is  protected  by  patents 
and  is  exclusive  to  that  Company. 

Assuming  the  use  of  the  proper 
abrasive,  the  life  and  efficiency  of 
abrasive  metal   castings   depends  on 


The  Cast  Iron  Tread  with  the  Abrasive  Surface 

Thev  have  stood  the  test 


the  uniformity  of  distribution  and 
depth  of  penetration  of  the  abra- 
sive grains. 

When  Specifying  — Architects 
and  engineers  can  insure  their  cli- 
ents getting  the  maximum  in 
service  and  anti-slip  quality  by 
specifying  that  the  abrasive  cast- 
ings furnished  them  "shall  have 
the  abrasive  uniformly  distributed 
over  the  wearing  surface  (includ- 
ing the  nosing)  and  impregnating 
the  casting  to  a  depth  substan- 
tially in  excess  of  in."  Or 
they  can  specify  "Feralun  as  made 
by  the  American  Abrasive  Metals 
Co." 

There  is  no  guess  work  about 
Feralun  or  its  sister  products— no 
unproved  or  unprovable  assertions, 
of  time. 


Tlie  American  Abrasive  Metals  Co. 
is  the  only  manufacturer  of  Feralun  and 
its  sister  products,  Bronzalun,  Alumalun 
and  Nicalun.  Consequently  architects  and 
engineers  who  specify  Feralun  are  cer- 
tain of  getting  the  best  product  ob- 
tainable. 

Experience  has  proven  that  descriptive 
specifications  such  as,  "stair  treads  shall 
be  cast  iron  with  an  abrasive  surface," 
are  indefinite  and  subject  the  owner  to 
the  possibility  that  inferior  materials 
may  be  used.  When  closed  specifica- 
tions are  inadvisable,  therefore,  it  is 
strongly  urged  that  instead  of  descrip- 
tive words,  the  phrase  "Feralun  or  ap- 
proved equal"  be  employed.  The  pro- 
tection of  the  owner  is  thus  assured. 


Uses  of  Feralun,  Bronzalun,  Alumalun  and  Nicalun 

The  American  Abrasive  Metals  Co.  has  devoted  25  years 
of  experience  to  the  production  and  improvement  of  safer  and 
more  durable  walkway  surfaces.  Over  85,000  installations 
include  such  representative  locations  as :  Stair  treads  and  land- 
ings, floor  plates,  drain  and  trench  covers,  elevator  and  fire 
door  thresholds,  freight  elevator  landings,  spiral  treads,  drain- 
age gratings,  entrance  door  saddles,  coal-hole  covers  and 
frames,  ramp  inclines,  shipping  platforms,  etc.

CAN  Abrasive  Metals  Co.  can  he  obtained  to  correct  it.  The 
company  welcomes  opportunities  to  consult  with  architects, 
engineers  and  owners  on  their  problems. 

Surfaces— Feralun  is  ordinarily  made  in  plain,  hatch  or 
fluted  surfaces  as  shown.  Bronzalun,  Alumahm  and  Nicalun 
may  be  obtained  in  these  surfaces  or  with  polished  half  round 
flutes.    Special  surface  designs  will  be  furnished  if  desired. 


Stairs  in  schools  arc  in  more  constant 
use  than  in  most  public  buildings.  When 
made  of  some  materials,  these  stairs  will 
wear  down,  chip  on  the  nosing  edge,  and 
become  smoother  and  more  slippery  the 
longer  they  are  used. 

Feralun  is  proof  against  all  these  de- 
fects and  when  once  installed  will  last 
the  life  of  the  building  and  will  be  slip- 
proof. 

Feralun  Anti-slip  Treads  were  in- 
stalled in  Washington  Irving  High 
School,  New  York,  N.  Y.,  in  .  To 
date,  no  accident  has  been  reported  and 
no  repairs  necessary.  The  Feralun  qual- 
ities of  safety  and  durability  are  easily 
proved.  Inspection  of  these  treads  is 
invited. 


FERALUN  IN  SCHOOLS 


Approved  by  New  York  Board  of 
Education — Style  "S"  Feralun  Anti-Slip 
Tread,  illustrated  herewith,  was  espe- 
cially designed  for,  and  approved  by,  the 
architects  of  the  New  York  Board  of 
Education. 

In  a  single  year,  over  22,000  were  in- 
stalled in  new  buildings  in  the  City  of 
New  York  alone. 

This  style  has  proved  highly  satisfac- 
tory and  is  steadily  gaining  great  favor 
in  many  localities  other  than  New  York. 

The  detail  at  the  left  shows  the  sim- 
plicity, sturdiness  and  neat  appearance 
of  this  type  of  construction. 

No  sub-tread  is  required  as  the  Fera- 
lun Tread  is  fastened  both  at  the  front 
and  back  to  risers  and  angles.

Worn  stairs  of  wood,  terrazzo,  mar- 
ble, slate  or  other  materials  can  be 
made  safe  and  greatly  improved  in 
appearance  by  the  use  of  appropriate 
abrasive  metal  castings,  Feralun, 
Bronzalun,  Alumalun  or  Nicalun,  ^  at 
a  cost  for  material  and  installation 
that  is  surprisingly  low.

of  existing  tread  is  not  to  be  covered. 
When  repair  nosings  are  to  be  used  in 
connection  with  linoleum,  or  when  re- 
cesses are  provided,  the  back  and  ends 
will  be  furnished  square  or  slightly  un- 
dercut. Necessary  anchorage  is  obtained 
by  wood  screws  or  expansion  bolts,

ELEVATOR  AND  SV^ING  DOOR  SILLS— FERALUN  SPIRAL  STAIRS 


Accuracy  of  fit  and  finish,  beauty  of  appearance,  extreme 
durability  and  effective  anti-slip  protection  distinguish  all  ele- 
vator door  sills  and  swing  door  saddles  manufactured  by  the 
American  Abrasive  Metals  Co.,  the  largest  producer  of  ele- 
vator door  sill  castings  in  the  world. 

Elevator  Door  Sills— Each  Feralun,  Bronzalun,  Alumalun 
or  Nicalun  sill  is  furnished  with  machine-planed  grooves  and 
accurate  facia  cut-outs,  wherever  facia  plates  are  to  be  used. 
All  holes  are  carefully  drilled.  Erection  delays  and  costs  are 
reduced  to  a  minimum. 

The  same  abrasive  grains  and  manufacturing  processes  which 
provide  the  extreme  durability  and  anti-slip  properties  of  Fera- 
lun Treads  are  responsible  for  the  similar  characteristics  of 
Feralun,  Bronzalun,  Alumalun  and  Nicalun  elevator  door  sills. 
They  will  outlast  the  building  and  will  provide  anti-slip  pro- 
tection which  will  remain  unimpaired  after  years  of  heavy  use. 
For  details,  see  page  4,  plates  7  and  8. 

Swing  Door  Saddles— Even  moderately  heavy  foot  traffic 
over  the  ordinary  door  threshold  of  brass,  bronze,  marble  or 
cast  iron  will  soon  result  in  worn  depressions  and  a  dangerous 
slippery  surface. 

Worn  thresholds  are  not  only  hazardous  but  present  a  dis- 
tinctly "down  at  the  heel"  appearance. 

The  use  of  appropriate  abrasive  metal,  Bronzalun,  Alumalun, 
Nicalun  or  Feralun,  will  insure  freedom  from  such  conditions 
for  the  life  of  the  building.  The  extremely  hard  abrasive 
grains  which  completely  protect  the  surface  of  the  threshold 
will  absorb  the  shock  of  millions  of  foot  contacts  before  signs 
of  wear  become  apparent. 

Feralun,  Bronzalun,  Alumalun  and  Nicalun  swing  door  sad- 
dles are  akmys  easy  to  install  because  of  their  accuracy  of  fit 
and  finish.  This  is  particularly  important  where  the  saddles 
are  to  be  used  with  doors  equipped  with  Rixson  hinges  or 
similar  door  checks.  Thresholds  with  Rixson  hinge  cut-outs 
will  be  furnished  in  one  piece,  accurately  finished  to  the 
l)roper  size,  with  or  without  cover  plates  as  desired.  See  page 
5,  plate  9  and  10.

of  safety.  They  are  neat 
installation  in  schools, 
churches,  office  buildings, 
banks,  warehouses,  etc. 

Feralun  Spiral  Treads

The  riser  of  each  tread 
rests  on  the  tread  of  the 
step  below ;  from  12  to 
16  treads  to  the  circle. 
Riser  heights  and  the 
number  of  treads  to  the 
circle  are  dependent  upon 
the  height  between  floors. 

In  order  that  suffi- 
cient headroom  be  pro- 
vided under  the  top  plat-

a  minimum  height  of 
8  in.

from  saw  marks  and  imperfections) 
give  a  splendid  appearance.  The  dis- 
tinctive light-blue  shade  blends  well 
with  adjacent  light  color  surfaces  or 
gives  a  sharp  clean  contrast  with  dark 
material.  It  is  a  fine,  close  grained 
blue  stone,  made  up  mostly  of  pure, 
hard  quartz  as  shown  below: 

MiNERALOGICALLY  CONSIDERED 

Fine,  hard  sand,  mostly  quartz   70% 

Clay,  as  binding  material   28% 

Water    2% 

Non-slip — The  non-slip  property, 
due  to  the  fine  grained  quartz,  does  not 
grip  the  foot  to  cause  tripping,  but  gives 
ample  security  against  slipping  at  all 
times,  whether  wet  or  dry,  without  re- 
quiring resurfacing  or  replacing.  These 
quartz  particles  are  always  uniformly  dis- 
tributed throughout  the  entire  stone,  a 
condition  that  is  only  produced  by  nature 
and  prevents  the  surface  from  ever  wear- 
ing smooth. 

Durable — The  extreme  durability  of 
the  Ambluco  Treads  comes  from  the 
character  of  the  material  and  the  steadily 
increasing  hardness  of  the  stone  brought 
on  by  the  heat  of  the  building,  causing 
the  treads  to  resist  wear  as  they  age.

The  density  of  the  stone's  structure  v/hich 
helps  to  give  the  remarkable  wearing  quality  is 
revealed  comparatively  in  the  following  table: 

Crushing  Strength 
Rockport  granite  (Kidder's  Hand 

Book)    17,b.  per  sq.  in. 

Vermont  marble   13,500  lb.  per  sq.  in. 

Genesee  Valley  blue  stone  19,b.  per  sq.  in. 

This  blue   stone  weighs  only,  approxi- 
150  lb.  per  cu.  ft.  (or  25  lb.  per  sq.  ft.  2  in. 
thick)  when  cut  ready  to  set. 

Sanitary — Ambluco  Non-slip  Treads  and  Land- 
ings are  easily  kept  sanitary.  Their  great  hardness  pre- 
vents generation  of  dust  and  permits  clean  sweeping  and 
mopping.  The  flat,  non-porous  surface  has  no  grooves 
or  pores  to  collect  filth  and  disease  germs.  The  sofiits 
may  be  painted  without  danger  of  the 
stain  coming  through  the  stone  to  the 
top  surface. 

Quiet — They  are  practically  noise- 
less and  do  not  resound  from  foot- 
steps nor  become  loose  and  rattle.  This 
quiet  feature  is  a  truly  essential  qual- 
ity for  most  buildings,  and  especially 
for  hospitals  where  many  human 
beings  are  undergoing  great  suffering, 
and  for  schools  where  it  is  so  impor- 
tant that  the  pupils'  minds  are  not  dis- 
tracted from  their  work. 

Fire  Resisting  and  Rust-proof 
— The  Ambluco  Treads  and  Landings 
offer  great  resistance  to  extreme  heat 
and  are  of  inestimable  value  in  fire- 
proof construction.  In  contrast  to 
many  other  treads  these  Ambluco 
treads  do  not  become  rusty  them- 
selves nor  stain  other  adjacent  materials. 

Permanent  and  Economical — 
"Lasts  the  life  of  a  school"  is  a  fitting 
slogan,  for,  as  indicated  by  tests  and

reputed  records,  Ambluco  Non-slip  Treads  give  satisfac- 
tory service  in  an  average  school  for  50  to  60  years,  v^hile 
observance  shows  that  at  the  existing  rate  of  advance- 
ments in  scientific  design  and  construction,  a  school  is 
considered  obsolete  in  that  length  of  time  and  is  fre- 
quently replaced  by  a  new  building.  In  fact,  there  are 
records  where  these  blue  stone  treads  have  been  removed 
in  the  wrecking  of  a  school  and  the  same  treads  later 
installed  in  a  new  school. 

The  initial  cost  of  the  Ambluco  Treads  (II/2  in.  to 
2  in.  thick)  is  about  the  same  or  less  than  other  natural 
stone  treads  and  the  ultimate  cost  much  less  even  than 
the  cheap  metal  and  composition  treads. 

The  facihty  with  which  they  can  be  set  on  the 
regular  types  of  fabricated  or  pressed  steel  stair  con- 
struction eliminates  the  great  expense  of  specially 
designed  steel  members. 

No  maintenance  cost  is  necessary  after  these  blue 
stone  treads  are  properly  installed. 

As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  Ambluco  Treads  and  Land- 
ings can  be  safely  adopted  without  first  experimenting. 

Specification  Suggestions  —  Identification  —  Ambluco 
Non-slip  Treads  and  Landings 
should  be  called  by  their 
trade-name,  and  although  in 
many  localities  this  name  is 
well  known,  we  suggest  also 
(to  avoid  substitution  of  in- 
ferior stones)  requiring  that 
they  are  stenciled  Ambluco 
and  stating  that  they  are  pro- 
duced by  the  American  Blue 
Stone  Company,  New  York, 
N.  Y. 

Samples — Ambluco  sten- 
ciled samples  shall  be  sub- 
mitted for  approval  of  the 
architect  before  commencing 
the  work.  Substitution  of 
softer  New  York  or  Ohio 
blue  stone  will  not  be  accepted. 

Finishes  —  The  sand 
sawed  or  wet  sand  rubbed  are 
the  only  two  finishes  which 
should  be  allowed.  The  for- 
mer has  proved  entirely  satis- 
factory and  we  endorse  it  as  a 
standard.  Planed  and  axed 
surfaces  should  be  avoided 
as  they  impair  the  ^tone. 

Ambluco  Treads  and 
Landings  are  universally  used 
2  in.  thick,  but  can  be  fur- 
nished down  to  \  V2  in.  Com- 
plete specifications  will  be 
supplied  upon  application. 

Accepted  as  Standard  by  Prominent  Users — 
Subsequently  to  the  standardizing  on  the  Ambluco 
Blue  Stone  Treads  by  the  City  of  Boston  and  its  many 
suburbs  in  their  schools  and  other  pubHc  buildings, 
nearly  all  the  rest  of  New  England,  recognizing  the 
superior  features  of  these  treads,  did  likewise. 
Many  of  the  leading  school  architects  in  the  Eastern, 
Southern  and  Middle  Western  States  specify  them. 
The  use  has  not  been  confined  to  schools,  but  has  also 
been  extended  to  other  public  buildings,  such  as  hospi- 
tals, museums,  colleges,  churches,  clubs,  railroad  stations 
and  high  class  commercial  buildings. 

Also  Ambluco  installations  are  constantly  being 
made  to  replace  w^orn-out  treads  of  other  kinds. 

Ambluco  Treads  and  Landings  are  used,  for  the 
most  part,  by  architects  and  engineers  long  accustomed 
to  incorporating  in  their  specifications  the  iDest  material 
for  their  work.

Ambluco  Blue  Stone  Flooring,  Thresholds,  Wall  Base, 
and  Swimming  Pool  Coping 

In  these  days  of  the  exacting  of  high  liabiHty  for 
accidents  to  mankind,  the  fundamental  requirement  in 
flooring  is  that  it  does  not  become  slippery  under  any 

conditions.  In  this  blue 
Stone  flooring,  quartz,  the 
essential  constituent,  being 
harder  than  the  accessory 
minerals,  is  pre-eminent 
on  the  wearing  surface  at 
all  times  and  makes  the 
floor  slip-proof  and  very 
durable.  Besides  the  rust- 
proof, non-porous,  dust- 
less  and  sanitary  qualifica- 
tions of  this  flooring,  it  is 
quiet  to  walk  on. 

Ambluco  Flooring  is 
either  11/2  or  2  in.  thick 
and  is  especially  suitable 
for  interior  and  porch 
floors  in  both  regular  and 
irregular  designs,  sugges- 
tions of  which  are  shown 
on  the  following  page.  In 
case  of  an  irregular  pat- 
tern, it  is  advisable  for 
economy  to  limit  the  num- 
ber of  sizes  to  about  seven. 
If,  however,  a  greater 
variety  of  sizes  and  shapes 
is  desired,  random  sawed 
slabs  may  be  shipped  from 
the  quarries,  and  then  fitted  and  jointed  by  local  cutters 
on  the  job.  Joints  of  Vs  to  i/i  in.  are  usually  used  for 
the  regular  styles  and  1/4  to  i^-in.  joints  are  more  in 
keeping  for  the  irregular  style  floors. 

Its  sawed  or  rubbed  finish  gives  a  level  surface  on 
which  chairs  and  other  furniture  do  not  rock,  a  feature 
so  annoying  with  natural  split  stone. 

Other  delightfully  artistic  effects  are  gained  by  sev- 
eral methods.  One,  by  varying  the  finishes — having  some 
pieces  sawed  with  sand  and  some  with  steel  shot.  Another, 
by  omitting  the  washing  of  the  stone  after  sawing,  which 
gives  a  variegated  coloring  from  the  rust  stain  of  the  saws. 

For  interior  swimming  pools  it  is  claimed  to  be  in  a 
class  by  itself  for  the  border  flooring  and  coping,  for  it 
is  not  dangerously  slippery,  docs  not  injure  the  bare  feet, 
and  does  not  deteriorate  and  necessitate  frequent  replace- 
ments as  do  some  manufactured  floorings. 

Ambluco  Flooring  is  especially  appropriate  for,

and  is  being  used  extensively 
in  churches,  cathedrals,  mu- 
seums, libraries,  clubs,  hotels, 
railroad  stations,  residences, 
high  class  commercial  build- 
ings, and  the  vestibules  and 
stair  halls  of  hospitals,  schools 
and  college  buildings. 

Perhaps  in  no  place  is 
there  greater  and  more  no- 
ticeable wear  than  in  thresh- 
olds or  saddles,  and  therefore, 
for  this  purpose,  this  Am- 
BLUCO  non-slip  sand  rubbed 
product  is  unapproachcd. 
These  are  furnished  li/4  to  2 
in.  thick  by  the  desired  widths, 
and  with  a  choice  of  bevels. 

The  Ambluco  Wall  Base  and  Plinths  should  be  used 
to  match  the  flooring  and  thresholds,  landings  and  treads. 
The  base  and  plinths  are  1^/4  to  2  in.  thick  by  7  to  14  in. 
high.  A  Vs-in.  radius  round  on  the  top  front  arris  is 
usually  given  or  a  slight  bevel  is  occasionally  applied. 

A  fine  sand  rubbed  finish  is  most  appropriate, 
although  the  sand  sawed  finish  frequently  harmonizes 
better  with  certain  styles  of  wall. 

Specification  Suggestions — It  is  important  that 
this  flooring,  thresholds  and  base  are 
specified  by  trade-name  as  described 
under  the  Ambluco  Non-slip  Treads. 

For  Flooring — The  vestibules, 
lobbies,  lounges  (or  whatever  places 
desired)  shall  be  of  Ambluco 
Blue  Stone,  2  in.  [li/o  in.]  thick 
laid  in  regular  [semi-irregular] 
[irregular]  design  (if  irregular 
describe  idea)  wuth  i/4-in.  [V2'i^-] 
joints.  It  shall  be  set  over  a  concrete 
fill  and  set  in,  at  least  1  in.  of  mortar 
composed  of  2  parts  sand  and  1 
part  Portland  cement.  The  joints 
shall  be  neatly  pointed  flush  with  sur- 
face of  floor  with  same  mortar,  to 
which  shall  be  mixed  enough  lamp 
black  or  other  coloring  to  produce  the 
desired  eflPect.

Suggestions  for  Care  of  Ambluco 
Products 

After  Ambluco  Treads,  Land- 
ings, Flooring,  etc.,  have  been  in- 
stalled they  should  be  thoroughly 
scrubbed  with  sand  and  water  until 
clean.  No  acid  or  other  damaging  sub  - 
stances  should  be  used.  If  the  light 
blue  color  is  desired,  coat  with  one  or 
two  applications  of  Truscon's  Super 
Por-Seal.  Repeat  this  six  to  eight 
times  a  year  if  needed.  If  it  is  pre- 
ferred to  have  a  darker  shade,  scriib 
and  then  paint  with  raw  linseed  oil. 
This  can  be  done  as  often  as  will  give 
the  best  results.

MASON  ABRASIVE  IRON— MASON  ABRASIVE  BRONZE 
MASON  ABRASIVE  ALUMINUM 
MASON  ABRASIVE  NICKEL— SAFETY  TREADS 

Formerly  known  as  ''Car bo-Cast'* 


Description 

A  cast  safety  stair  tread  in  which  a  car- 
borundum or  aluminous  abrasive  is  em 
bedded  in  the  wearing  surface.  The 
abrasive  is  an  integral  part  of  the 
body  metal  and  the  flintlike  par- 
ticles of  the  abrasive  project 
above  the  surface,  pro 
ducing  a  surface  that 
effectively  prevents 
slipping  whether 
wet  or  dry. 


Metals 

These  treads  are 
furnished  with  the 
body  metal  of  iron, 
brass,  bronze,  aluminum 
or  nickel — depending  upon  the 
type  of  service  for  which  the  tread 
is  required  or  the  architectural  effect 
desired.

Wearing  Qualities 

Extreme  hardness  and  wear-resisting  qualities 
of  abrasive  material,  combined  with  similar 
qualities  of  metal  body,  combine  to 
produce  an  extremely  durable 
safety  tread — one  that 
will  present  an  ef- 
fective n on -slip 
surface  for  a  long 
period  despite 
hard  wear.  These 
treads  possess  a  high 
resistance  to  corrosion 
due  to  addition  of  car- 
borundum or  aluminous 
abrasive  at  time  of  casting 
which  tends  to  densify  the 
metal. 

Installation 

Treads  are  easily  and  quickly  in- 
stalled on  new  or  old  work.  On  new 
concrete  the  treads  are  fastened  by 
means  of  screws  and  metal  anchors  em- 
bedded in  concrete.  For  old  concrete, 
marble,  slate,  etc.,  the  use  of  expansion 
bolts  is  recommended.  Only  wood  screws  are  needed  to 
hold  treads  securely  in  place  on  wood  stairs. 

Surfaces 

Treads  are  furnished  in  the  three  surfaces  illustrated 
below,  namely:  Fluted,  Diamond  Hatched  and  Plain.

Plain  Surface 

A  stair  tread  cast  with  one-quarter  inch  or  more  deep 
channels  to  receive  Mason  Safety  Abrasive  FilHng.  This 
fining  especially  prepared  and  treated,  has  proven  for 
over  twenty-five  years  its  supremacy.  In  addition  the 
dental  (toothed)  nosing  reinforces  and  accentu- 
ates the  front  edge  of  each  step,  which  is  an 
extra  wear-resisting  quality  and  safety 
feature.  As  a  whole  this  means 
that  when  the  surface  has 
worn  off,  instead  of 
being  useless  as 
a  Safety  Tread, 
Mason  Struc- 
tural Abrasive

just  started  its 
life  of  extreme 
usefulness  as  a

DEL  TURCO  NON-SLIP  "INTEGRO"  TREAD 

A  New  Departure  in  Safety  Treads 


The  Del  Turco  Integro  Tread  is  a  reinforced  pre- 
cast terrazzo  unit  with  inlaid  alundum  aggregate  inserts 
which  will  provide  the  necessary  foot  friction  under  all 
wet  or  dry  conditions  and  under  all  other  requirements 
of  use. 

Advantages 

Correct  Non-slip  Effect — The  alundum  aggregate  inserts 
are  made  with  an  exactly  predetermined  degree  of  non-slip 
effect  in  exactly  the  proper  location  on  tread  and  nosing.  There 
can  be  no  accidental  defects  in  the  mixture  nor  any  variation 
in  surface  texture  of  the  abrasive.  The  foot  friction  is  positive 
under  all  wet  or  dry  conditions  and  there  is  no  corrugation  or 
projection  to  catch  and  hold  the  foot  or  heel.  The  Del  Turco 
Integro  Tread  is  a  scientifically  correct  product. 

Permanently  Durable — Alundum  is  one  of  the  hardest  of 
substances  and  in  the  form  used  in  Del  Turco  Integro  Treads 
it  will  outlast  the  needs  and  requirements  of  normal  use. 

Permanently  in  Place — The  name  Integro  is  descriptive 
of  the  fact  that  the  alundum  inlay  is  an  integral 
part  of  the  terrazzo  construction  of  the  tread.  It 
cannot  become  loose  or  detached. 

Attractive  Appearance — The  Del  Turco  Inte- 
gral Thread  is  essentially  architecturally  appropriate 
in  design  and  the  materials  used  are  naturally  and 
harmoniously  decorative.  Appearance  is  not  sacri- 
ficed for  the  sake  of  utility.  Patterns  of  inlay  and 
color  effects  may  be  varied.  Color  contrast  may  be 
suppressed  or  achieved  at  will.  Metal  strips  may  be 
used  to  outline  the  alundum  inlay  where  so  desired. 

Moderate  in  Cost — The  Del  Turco  Integro 
Tread,  completely  installed,  will  compete  favorably 
in  price  with  any  other  material,  system  or  device 
which  approaches  it  in  quality  or  eft'ectivcness.  It 
is  a  superior  product  of  a  quite  ''different"  kind. 

Broadly  Adaptable — The  Del  Turco  Integro 
Tread  is  suitable  for  use  in  all  good  construction 
and  is  particularly  adaptable  to  buildings  of  public 
use  where  utilitarian  and  artistic  effects  must  be 
combined. 

Cleanliness — Del  Turco  Integro  Treads  are  easily 
cleaned.  There  are  no  grooves  to  hold  dirt  and 
where  the  design  shows  contrast  in  color  the  effect 
of  soiling  or  discoloration  is  disguised. 

Manufacture  and  Distribution 

The  Del  Turco  Integro  Tread  is  manufactured 
by  the  vibratory  method  in  our  plant,  which  is 
equipped  with  suitable  machinery.  It  is  properly 
reinforced,  cured,  finished  and  delivered  to  the  build- 
ing ready  to  be  set  in  place.  It  is  installed  in  ce- 
ment mortar  by  marble  setters  in  the 
same  manner  as  marble. 

When  installed  over  steel  stairs,  it 
should  be  secured  to  the  sub-tread  by 
means  of  our  Dovetail  Anchor  method 
(shown  at  right)  the  anchor  channel  for 
which  is  provided  in  the  manufactured 
tread. 

Lengths  Up  to  8  Ft.— Del  Turco 
Integro  Treads  are  made  in  lengths  up  to 
about  8  ft.  It  is  always  made  to  order, 
it  being  impractical  to  carry  it  in 
stock. 

When  so  desired  treads  and  risers  may 
be  formed  integrally. 

We  sell  the  Del  Turco  Integro  Tread 
through  marble  contractors  or  we  install 
it  ourselves,  when  a  marble  contractor  is 
not  available.  Types  of  Nosings

Universal  Safety  Tread,  Type  II 

Universal  Safety  Tread,  Type  II,  is  constructed  of  a 
steel, brass,  aluminum  or  stainless  steel  baseplate,  punched 
to  receive  non-slip  lead  wires  which  are  rolled  in  and 
firmly  clamped.  The  lead  fills  the  perforations  and  a  non- 
slip  surface  is  presented  for  its  full  thickness.  There  are 
no  continuous  metal  ribs  on  the  outer  edge,  which  is  the 
danger  point  on  all  stairs,  but  the  lead,  being  exposed 
between  the  metal  teeth,  presents  a  non-slip  edge  at  all 
times.  This  is  especially  important  in  descending  stair- 
w^ays.  A  minimum  of  hard  supporting  metal  and  the 
maximum  of  non-slip  lead  form  the  wearing  surface. 

The  baseplate  can  be  extended  to  form  a  nosing  of 
any  depth  required  w^hich  is  especially  desirable  where 
evidences  of  repair  are  to  be  covered.  We  can  furnish 
alloy-coated,  galvanized  steel  or  stainless  steel  to  resist 
the  action  of  salt  water  or  dampness.  The  advantages 
of  Universal  Stainless  Steel  Safety  Tread  are  most 
obvious,  combining  the  utmost  in  lasting  appearance 
with  durability.  Our  brass  treads  are  also  recom- 
mended where  it  is  necessary  to  have  a  rustproof  and 
safe  surface.  Suitable  sub-tread  or  support  should  bj 
provided  for  the  safety  tread  to  rest  upon. 

Sizes— Universal  Safety  Tread,  Type  II,  can  be 
furnished  in  almost  any  width  up  to  12  ins.  and  in  any 
specified  lengths,  either  with  or  without  nosing  accord- 
ing to  the  requirements  of  the  stairs  or  landings.

RELIANCE  ELECTRO-PRESSURE  WELDED 
Grating 

It  is  a  positive  one-piccc  structure.  In  the  Reliance 
welding  process,  it  is  impossible  for  the  joints  to  loosen, 
because  after  the  metals  have  been  fused  under    to 
  amperes  the  60,000-lb.  pressure  per  cross  bar  is 
continued  over  cold  metal  to  insure  positive  welds  and 
homogeneous  structure — the  deep  cross  bars  act  as  cross 
braces  and  insure  maximum  distribution.   This  is  im- 


GRATINGS,  TREADS  AND  ARMORING 

portant  as  every  piece  of  grating  is  subject  to  a  concen- 
trated load  in  one  form  or  another.  The  negative  moment 
is  properly  taken  care  of  when  used  as  a  continuous 
flooring  over  three  or  more  supports.  There  are  no  acute 
angles  at  the  joints.  This  insures  maximum  ventilation 
and  eliminates  the  accumulation  of  dirt  in  the  corners. 
During    nearly  400,000  square  feet  of  reliance 
gratings,  flooring  and  treads  were  sold.

An  entirely  new  design  which  offers  a  strong  and  economical 
method  for  floor  protection.  Send  us  your  problems.  Our 
Engineering  Department  will  cheerfully  make  definite  recom-

Reliance  Stair  Treads 

The  same  superior  features  of  Reliance  Electro-Pressure 
Welded  Gratings  are  available  in  Reliance  Stair  Treads.  The 
scientific  spacing  of  cross  bars  and  the  fusion  formed  by  the 
electro-welding  process  act  as  non-skid  safeguards. 

Visible  Anti-slip  Nosing— The  Reliance  Stair  Tread  is  the 
only  grating  tread  manutactured  with  Alumalun  or  Feralun 
abrasive  anti-slip  nosing — a  real  anti-slip  design  in  which  the 
edge  of  each  step  stands  out  most  clearly.  Other  designs  in 
Reliance  Stair  Treads  are  also  available.

Note  the  depth  of  the  cross  bars.  In  addition  to  serving  as  struts,  these 
cross  bars  provide  transverse  strength  and  prevent  any  lateral  deflection. 

Mitco,  a  pioneer  open  steel  flooring,  with  an  open  area  of 
90%,  is  pressure  formed,  without  the  use  of  mechanical  locking 
devices  of  any  kind.  Having  no  bolts  or  rivets,  it  has  not  these 
sources  of  possible  weakness.  It  is  not  welded,  hence  it  is 
free  from  residual  stresses  frequently  produced  in  welding 
operations,  stresses  which  may  cause  warping  or  possible  failure 
of  connections  in  service. 

In  the  making  of 
Mitco,  the  bearing 
bars  are  prepared 
with  a  dovetail  slot 
to  receive  the  cross 
or  transverse  bars. 
Under  hundreds  of 
tons  hydraulic 
pressure,  the  trans- 
verse  bars  are 
pressed  into  the 
bearing  bars  so  that 
the  metal  in  the 
transverse  bars  completely  fills  the  dovetails  in  the  bearing  bars. 
As  the  dovetails  in  the  bearing  bars  are  always  above  the  neutral 
axis  and  are  completely  filled  by  the  transverse  bars,  the  strength 
of  the  full  section  is  developed.  The  transverse  bars,  extend- 
ing below  the  neutral  axis  not  only  serve  as  struts  but  also  pro- 
vide transverse  strength,  firmly  locking  the  panel  of  Mitco  into 
an  integral  unit,  distributing  concentrated  loads  over  the  entire 
panel  and  preventing  any  lateral  deflection. 

Free  from  bolts,  rivets,  acute  angles  or  other  obstructions, 
Mitco  is  practically  self -cleaning  and  provides  maximum  light 
and  ventilation  from  floor  to  floor. 

Mitco  Armorgrids 

Imbedded  in  the  floor, 
with  the  tops  of  the  panels 
flush  with  the  floor  surface, 
Mitco   Amorgrids  absorb 
the  brunt  of  shocks,  grind- 
ing loads  and  continuous 
wear.  They  prevent  crack-

Blaw-Knox  Electroforged  Steel  Grating  and 
Open  Flooring 

The  advantages  of  actual  one-piece  construc- 
tion presented  exclusively  by  Blaw-Knox  Electro- 
forged  Steel  Grating  will  be  especially  apparent 
to  those  who  have  used,  or  are  using 
today,  ordinary  grating  which  is 
mechanically  assembled.  It  is  a  sim- 
ple structure,  electroforged  for  strength 
and  permanence,  marked 
by  an  entire  absence 
of  loose  parts  and  char- 
acterized by  an  ex- 
tremely low  maintenance 
cost. 


Exclusive  Features  of 
Blaw-Knox  Electro- 
forged Steel 
Grating 

Non-slip  —  Perfect 
traction  is  afforded  by 
the  slightly  rough  edges 
of  the  twisted  cross  bars 
which  protrude  slightly 
above  the  surface  of  the 
bearing  bars. 

Greatest  Strength — 
The  electroforged  one- 
piece  construction  uti- 
lizes full  strength  of 
the  gross  amount  of 
metal. 

The  resulting  one- 
piece  section  has  maxi- 
mum loading  capacity 
per  pound.

Section  of  Electroforged  Steel  Grating 

Showing  rigid  welding  and  sharp,  flat  topped  bars 


Longest  Life — Because  of  its  design  and  exclu- 
sive method  of  fabrication  Electroforged  Grating  pre- 
sents a  one-piece  construction  free  from  cracks,  joints, 
or  crevices  of  any  kind.  This  also  enables  Electro- 
forged Grating  to  be  100%  protected  by  paint  or 
galvanizing,  leaving  no  part  exposed  to 
corrosive  action. 

One-piece  Grating — Blaw-Knox 
Electroforged  Grating  is  manufactured 
by  laying  the  twisted  bars 
across  the  top  of  the 
bearing  bars  without 
slotting  or  cutting  the 
metal. 

Enormous  pressure 
and  resistance  welding 
electroforges  the  bar  into 
one  piece  where  the 
metals  cross. 

Self-cleaning  —  No 
acute  angles  or  projec- 
tions to  collect  debris. 

Better  Light  and 
Ventilation  —  The  con- 
struction of  Blaw-Knox 
Electroforged  Grating 
permits  clean-cut  rec- 
tangular openings. 

Maximum  lighting 
and  ventilation  are  as- 
sured. 

Easily  Installed  — 
Installation  cost  of  Blaw- 
Knox  Grating  is  reduced 
to  a  minimum  by  a  very  . 
simple  and  secure  method 
of  fastening  the  grat- 
ing.

Irving  "Subway  Continuity"  Grating  is  an  ideal 
industrial  floor — slip-proof,  stumble-proof  and  free 
from  all  underfoot  hazards.  It  provides  a  perfect 
traffic  and  traction  surface,  without  a  joint  or  joint 
lines,  because  of  the  unique  method  of  splicing  the 
units.  There  are  no  separate  panels  to  loosen,  wob- 
ble or  up-end,  and  no  butt-joints  for  wheel  loads 
to  pound. 

The  illustration  below  clearly  shows  the  clean-cut, 
neat  appearance  of  an  Irving  floor— no  joints  or  joint 
lines — it  is  a  one-piece  job  from  side-to-side  and 
continuous  in  all  directions.  Irving  "Subway" 
Grating  can  be  furnished  in  panels  if  desired.

A  permanently  smooth,  quiet,  non-skid  surface.    Cracks  and 
lioies  cannot  develop 

Acme  Floorsteel 

Acme  Floorsteel  provides  long-life  floors  at  low  cost. 

(1)  The  flexible  grid  is  easy  to  lay. 

(2)  The  surface  is  quiet  and  non-skid. 

(3)  Exposed  steel  edges  bear  the  load. 

(4)  Cracks,  holes,  and  ruts  cannot  develop. 

(5)  Floor  is  permanently  smooth  and  even. 

(6)  Maintenance  costs  are  practically  eliminated. 
Floor  Structure — Acme  Floorsteel  is  embedded  flush  with 

the  top  in  concrete  and  asphalt  floors,  and  literally  provides  a 
network  of  steel  rails  for  truck  wheels.  Two  or  more  of  these 
rails  arc  at  all  times  supporting  each  wheel. 

The  small  mesh  in  combination  with  the  light  section  of  rolled 
steel  members  makes  a  permanently  smooth  and  quiet  floor. 
Under  the  heaviest  trucking  the  exposed  edges  of  the  steel  ribs 
become  slightly  mushroomed,  presenting  an  increased  area  of 
steel  in  the  surface.  This  protects  the  material  next  to  the  rib 
and  prevents  shattering. 


The  flexible 
grid  is  easy  to 
lay.  Large  sec- 
tions are  joined 
into  one  contin- 
uous mat 

For  New  or  Old  Floors — Acme  Floorsteel  is  practical  for 
reinforcement  of  new  or  old  floors  and  truckways.  It  is  used 
in  concrete  or  asphalt  mastics,  over  concrete,  wood  or  steel 
filled  with  cold  mastic,  hot  mastic  or  other  suitable  material. 

Laying  New  Floors — Acme  Floorsteel  is  rolled  out  on  the 
base  course  or  sub-floor  in  large  sections  which  are  joined  by 
pins  and  wires  into  one  continuous  mat.  Filling  material  is  then 
placed  and  troweled.  As  an  alternative,  Floorsteel  may  be 
pressed  or  tamped  into  the  surface  after  floor  has  been  struck 
off  at  finish  line. 

Repairing  Old  Floors — Repairing  an  old  floor  is  a  simple 
matter  with  Acme  Floorsteel.  When  used  over  old  concrete 
or  brick,  the  floor  should  be  previously  prepared  by  filling  holes, 
or  uneven  worn  spots  and  cracks  with  a  suitable  grout.  An 
asphalt  bond  coat  is  applied,  and  the  Acme  Floorsteel  laid  in 
the  usual  manner  with  mastic  used  for  the  filling  material. 

When  used  over  wood,  after  the  worn  maple  wearing-floor 
has  been  removed,  the  laying  of  Acme  Floorsteel  should  be 
done  with  the  operations  above  described.  In  addition,  the 
Floorsteel  should  be  fastened  to  the  base  by  means  of  Acme 
Floorsteel  Anchors  provided  for  this  purpose. 

Fitting — Fitting  Acme  Floorsteel  around  an  obstruction  is 
easily  and  quickly  done  by  cutting  the  steel  on  one  side  and 
pulling  two  wires. 


Small  mesh  and  light  section  of  steel — an 
outstanding  advantage  of  Acme  Floorsteel 


Virtually  any  type  of  old  indus- 
trial floor  can  be  quickly  resurfaced 
with  Acme  Floorsteel 


Special  Snips  are  loaned  when 
trimming  is  necessary

allowing  %-in.  clearance  be- 
tween grids.  Bottom  grids 
firmly  on  slab 


Fourth 
Screed  off  excess  grout, 
float  in  thoroughly  to  fill 
all  voids  and  trowel  smooth. 
Finished  grout  should  be 
flush  with,  or  about  ^  in. 
higher  than,  top  surface  of

Armor  Grids  Eliminate  Floor  Repairs 

Under  grinding  truck  wheels,  banging  boxes  and  trunks,  rolling  barrels  and 
milk  cans,  the  dropping  of  heavy  castings  and  severe  traffic  conditions  of  every 
sort,  the  best  floor  surfaces  are  in  need  of  constant  repairs,  which  are  expensive 
and  necessitate  costly  delays  to  production. 

Snead  Armor  Grids  eliminate  the  floor  repair  problem.  Set  in  cement  or 
asphalt,  they  armor  the  floor,  carry  the  load  and  receive  the  shocks.  They 
have  been  in  wide  use  over  20  years,  and  during  this  time  no  installation  of 
Snead  grids  ever  had  to  be  renewed,  even  under  the  hardest  service. 

Snead  Armor  Grids  do  not  break,  work  loose  or  wear  slippery.    They  bond 

Eerfectly  with  the  floor  mass,  hold  it  down  and  keep  it  intact.  They  distribute 
eat  strains  and  keep  asphalt  from  flowing.  They  prevent  spalling  and  dusting 
of  concrete.  Pedestals  are  provided  on  the  under  side  of  each  grid  to  expedite 
setting  and  to  raise  the  ribs  off  the  slab,  thus  permitting  the  finish  grout  to 
flow  under  the  ribs  and  interconnect  all  pockets.  They  present  a  smooth  run- 
ning surface  and  they  wear  indefinitely. 

Specification  for  Installing  Over  Concrete  Base 

Base  shall  be  brought  to  a  true  and  even  surface  exactly  the  depth  of  the 
grid  below  the  finished  floor  level.  When  the  slab  has  set  enough  to  hold  the 
weight  of  the  grids  flow  on  a  surface  coat  of  rich  1:2  mix  using  clean,  sharp 
sand;  press  the  grids  into  the  mix  until  they  rest  firmly  on  the  slab.  (Specify 
whether  grids  shall  be  laid  in  straight  rows  or  staggered  or  laid  herringbone). 
Grids  shall  be  pressed  into  the  surface  coat  until  the  mix  squeezes  through  the 
openings  at  the  top;  excess  grout  shall  be  screeded  off  and  given  a  trowel  finish, 
leaving  the  concrete  flush  or  about  ^  in.  higher  than  the  iron. 

Specification  for  Installing  in  Asphalt  Over  Concrete 

Prepare  base  slab  as  described  above.  Then  apply  a  hot  mix  of  asphalt 
mastic  not  less  than  350*  F.  with  no  particles  of  aggregate  over  ^  in.  in 
diameter.  Grids  shall  be  pressed  into  the  asphalt  mastic  until  they  rest  firmly 
on  the  slab.  Asphalt  shall  be  brought  ^  or  %  in.  over  grids  and  a  second 
rubbing  shall  be  given  after  filling  with  clean,  sharp  sand. 

Specification  for  Installing  in  Asphalt  Over  Wood  Floors 

Floor  boards  shall  be  laid  close  and  securely  nailed  to  bearings,  which  should 
not  be  over  16  in.  on  centers.  All  loose  knots  and  knot  holes  shall  be  covered 
with  sheet  metal.  Over  this  lay  two  thicknesses  of  waterproof  felt.  Then  proceed  as 
described  in  preceding  paragraph.

Facilities 

A  long  established  firm,  equipped  to  execute  con- 
tracts in  any  part  of  the  country.  We  erect  the 
escape  complete. 


Advantages  of  the  Spiral  Slide  Escape 

Has  an  exit  capacity  three  times  greater  than  an 
ordinary  stairway,  but  uses  only  40%  as  much 
floor  space. 

The  cost  compares  favorably  with  pressed  steel 
stairs.  In  many  cases  the  spiral  escape  is  much 
less  in  cost. 

There  are  no  steps,  consequently  there  is  no  chance 
for  stumbling  or  falling.  Escape  can  be  entered 
from  many  floors  at  the  same  time.  There  is  no 
acceleration,  therefore  escape  can  be  used  on  thirty- 
story  buildings  just  as  safely  as  on  buildings  of 
one  or  two  stories. 

Architects  everywhere  are  now  using  the  Logan 
Spiral  Escape  to  solve  their  emergency  exit  prob- 
lem. They  are  designing  the  stairways  to  handle 
normal  load  only — emergency  exit  capacity  fur- 
nished by  Logan  Spiral  Slide  Escape.  It  saves 
more  than  half  the  space.  Exit  capacity  three 
times  greater  than  average  stairway.

Vulcan  Pipe  Railings 

First  quality  pipe  with  Vul- 
can Standard  Alalleable  Iron 
Railing  Fittings  and  Vulcan 
Standard  Cast  Iron  Flanges 
are  used  in  the  manufacture  of 
all  Vulcan  Pipe  Railings.  Due 
to  the  great  variety  of  fittings, 
flanges,  etc.,  which  are  carried 
in  stock  for  fabrication,  we 
are  able  to  meet  many  different 
construction  conditions. 

Vulcan  Table  Supports 

Vulcan  Table  and  Laboratory 
Supports  can  be  furnished  in 
many  designs  to  meet  special 
requirements.  They  are  all 
sturdy  in  construction  and  are  well  suited  to  appli- 
cations where  strength,  accuracy  and  durability  are 
demanded.

Vulcan  Bridge  Railings 

Vulcan  Standard  Bridge  Rail- 
ings are  constructed  of  various 
combinations  of  pipe,  fittings, 
bars  (round  and  square),  flats, 
channels,  angles,  etc.  As  its 
basic  principle,  the  present  day 
design  of  bridge  railings  has 
pipe  for  the  rails  and  posts  with 
filling  of  round  or  square  pick- 
ets or  other  structural  shapes. 
The  designs  offer  simplicity  and 
strength  together  with  more  re- 
sistance to  action  of  elements 
and  maintenance  cost  is  there- 
fore reduced  to  a  minimum. 

Vulcan  designs  vary  from  the 
simple  type  to  the  more  elabo- 
rate designs  introducing  cast  iron  posts  with  rings  and 
other  shapes  into  the  railing  panels.  An  almost  inex- 
haustible number  of  combinations  can  be  made  of  these 
shapes,  thereby  assuring  unlimited  selectivity.

For  Duplex  Incinerators,  see  File  Index. 


When  Specifying 

"Duplex"  hangers  and  post  caps  are  designed  with 
a  large  factor  of  safety  to  carry  timbers  for  which  they 
are  intended.  If  architects  and  engineers,  when  using 
hangers  and  post  caps,  specify  "Duplex,"  proper  hangers 
and  post  caps  for  the  timbers  will  be  furnished.  Speci- 
fications are  to  be  included  in  carpentry  specifications. 


DUPLEX  POST  CAPS,  BASES  AND  HANGERS— THE  QUALITY  LINE  FOR  HEAVY  MILL  CONSTRUCTION 


"Duplex"  Joist  Hanger 

Economical  hanger  for  timber  framing. 
Made  of  malleable  iron  and  every  hanger 
is  thoroughly  tested. 

"Duplex"  Joist  Hangers  reduce  the 
shrinkage  of  joists  to  a  minimum 


R  &  L  Joist  Hanger 

For  the  heaviest  type  of  mill  construc- 
tion. By  using  this  type  of  hanger,  the 
entire  building  is  tied  together  laterally. 
No  other  method  of  construction  does 
this.  Made  in  two  parts  and  can  be  ad- 
justed to  fit  the  various  timbers  for  which 
they  are  intended 


Two-way  Construction 

investigated  and 
unanimous  in  declaring  it  to  be  an  ideal 
design  for  rigid  construction.  Tests  have 
fully  proven  the  great  strength  of  this 
design  and  that  it  is  not  possible  to  break 
the  cap  when  even  more  than  six  times 
the  ultimate  safe  load  of  the  timber  is 
applied.  These  caps  are  furnished  for 
1-way,  2-way,  3-way  and  4-way  construc- 
tion and  may  be  had  for  timbers  larger 
than  the  post. 


"Duplex"  Steel  Post  Caps 

"Duplex"  Post  Caps  are  made  of 
mild,  open  hearth  steel  and  consist  of 
three  pieces :  a  bearing  bracket  and 
two  side  plates  bolted  together  with 
four  heavy  bolts.  Engineers  who  have 
used   this   cap  are 


"Duplex"  Wall  Box 

The  "Duplex"  Wall  Box  is  designed 
for  anchoring  timber  beams  and  girders 
in  brick  and  masonry  walls  and  as  a  pro- 
tection against  dry  rot.  A  steel  box  is

"Duplex'* 
Block 
Wall 
Hanger 

This  hanger  for  concrete  block  construction 
is  made  with  a  larger  bearing  plate  than  our 
ordinary  wall  hangers  so  as  to  distribute  the 
load  over  a  greater  area  of  the  concrete  block. 
Very  practical  where  it  becomes  necessary  to 
frame  joists  into  old  brick  walls  or  party  walls. 
Avoids  the  cutting  of  a  large  hole

NO.  130  ACORN  WIRE  MESH  ENCLOSURE  PANELS 


Description 

There  is  a  difference  between  Acorn  Standardized  En- 
closure Panels  and  just  wire  mesh  partition. 

No.  130  Acorn  Enclosure  Panels  are  built  in  standardized 
units.  Each  section  or  door  is  a  complete  unit  and  is  inter- 
changeable with  every  other  unit.  Additional  units  to  match 
may  be  ordered  at  any  time.  The  installation  may  be  rear- 
ranged at  any  time  by  unskilled  labor. 

Architects  who  definitely  specify  the  type  and  quality 
of  partitions  desired  will  relieve  their  clients  of  the  burden 
of  purchasing  them  later,  which,  for  want  of  knowledge, 
is  usually  done  in  a  promiscuous 
manner. 

Construction  and  Specification 
Data — Architects  may  specify  Acorn 
Standard  Enclosure  Panels  by  number, 
indicating  type  of  doors  and  service 
windows  desired. 

Height— 7,  8,  9  and  10  ft.  carried

lower  cost.

Acorn  Wire  Mesh  Window 
Guards 

They  protect  glass  against 
breakage  and  prevent  entrance  by- 
stealth.  They  also  prevent  dishon- 
est employees  from  passing  valuable 
tools,  etc.,  through  the  windows  to 
confederates  outside.  They  permit 
the  windows  to  be  opened  for  ven- 
tilation with  safety.  Send  for 
catalogue. 

Material  Specifications — Made  of 
three  principal  specifications:  1  ^-in.  mesh, 
No,  12  wire;  IVz-in.  mesh.  No.  10  wire, 
and  2-in.  mesh.  No.  8  wire.  No.  10  wire, 
11/^ -in.  mesh  is  most  used,  being  the 
meeting  point  between  burglary  and  glass 
protection.  Guards  can  be  furnished  in 
any  wire  desired. 

H-5  hinges  and  H-6  hasps,  of  mal- 
leable iron,  are  recommended.  They  afford 
an  excellent  means  of  fastening  and  are 
adaptable  to  any  style  window  frame  by 
reversing  same  where  necessary.  Hinges 
are  fastened  to  window  by  lag  screws 
making  it  difficult  to  remove  from  out- 
side. Hasps  are  locked  to  a  heavy  screw- 
eye  which  can  not  be  removed  when  pad- 
lock is  in  place.

These  grilles  are  a  combination 
of  beauty  and  strength,  interposing 
a  strong  network  of  steel  against 
any  attempted  forced  entrance. 

Welded  -  Weave  is  generally 
made  in  4,  5,  6,  and  7-in.  spacings, 
but  may  be  had  in  other  spacings, 
either  square  or  oblong  openings, 
to  suit  architects*  requirements.

WINDOW  GUARDS 


Methods  of  InstallinfiT— 

Where  guards  are  used  prin- 
cipally for  burglar  protection, 
hinged  Type  "A"  is  recom- 
mended. The  hinges  are  fas- 
tened to  window  frame  by 
means  of  lag  screws,  making 
it  difficult  to  remove  from  out- 
side. 

When  burglar  protection 
is  not  an  important  factor,  and 
when  it  is  desirable  to  attach 
the  guards  from  outside, 
hinged  Type  "B"  is  recom- 
mended. In  this  case  the  lag 
screws  are  exposed  to  the  out- 
side.

size  of  guard.  Also  made  in 
stationary  type 


GYMNASIUM  WINDOW  GUARDS 

While  the  several  types  of  gymnasium  window  guards 
shown  are  recommended  because  of  their  simplicity 
in  operation,  many  other  types  can  be  furnished  when 
desired. 

Send  for  catalogue  if  interested. 


Type  K 

A  popular  type  for  pro- 
tecting Gymnasium  Windows 
or  other  windows  where  in- 
side protection  is  desired. 

Type  "K"  Hinged  Guards 
are  fastened  on  one  side  with 
H5  Hinges,  and  other  side  is 
held  in  place  with  thumb  nuts. 


No.  128 

No.  128 — Hinged  at  top 
and  suitable  catches  at  bot- 
tom. Windows  readily  acces- 
sible for  opening  or  washing

No.  127 — Carryine;  chan- 
nel frame  and  is  hinged  at  top 
with  slot  for  window  pole 
and  suitable  catches  at  bot- 
tom. This  arrangement  is 
very  desirable  because  win- 
dows may  be  opened  without 
swinging  guard 

Note:  No.  10  wire,  1^/^-in.  diamond  mesh  is  recom- 
mended for  gymnasium  window  guards.  Finished  in  green

Description 

Cornell  Rolling  Grilles  consist  of  rolled 
and  pressed  steel  bars  joined  together  with 
strong  ornamental  links  and  with  straight 
links  in  the  side  guides.  They  coil  neatly 
on  a  horizontal,  overhead  shaft  and  are 
accurately  counterbalanced  at  all  points 
by  tempered  springs  to  afford  easy, 
even  operation,  and  will  stand  in  any  position. 

Made  of  bronze,  aluminum  or  stainless  steel. 

Grilles  function  and  operate  in  much  the  same 
manner  as  Cornell  Rolling  Steel  Shutters  and 
Doors,  but  with  more  speed  and  ease  because  of 
lighter  weight  and  open  construction.    There  is

dows. 

Dimensions — The  grille  travels  in  two 
vertical,  cold  rolled  channel-shaped  guides 
about  1^/4x1^/4  ins.,  designed  to^  resist  a 
push  of  5  tons  to  the  foot  of  height. 

Grille,  when  entirely  coiled  on  shaft,  is 
14  to  18  ins.  in  diameter,  depending  on 
height  of  opening. 

Locking — Equipped  with  special  lock- 
ing device,  cylinder  or  padlock,  located  at 
convenient  height  or  at  base  of  grille.

jambs,  and  between  ceiling  and  floor  above, 
and  within  other  hidden  or  built-in  areas.

CONSTRUCTION  AND  ADVANTAGES  OF  BABCOCK-DAVIS  EASY  ACCESS  POLE 


U.  S.  Patent  No.  ,  April  10,   


Principle  of  the  Easy  Access  Pole  Design 

It  is  designed  to  overcome  the  expense  and  difficulty  often 
experienced  in  replacing  fouled  and  broken  halyards  as  well 
as  making  it  easy  to  erect  and  paint  at  all  times.  Every 
flag  pole  should  be  thoroughly  inspected  at  least  once  a  year. 

With  the  Easy  Access  Pole,  no  steeple- 
jack is  required  to  do  this,  as  one 
man  can  raise  or  lower  the  pole  in  a 
few  minutes. 

A  ratchet  wrench,  supplied  by  us, 
is  used  to  operate  a  worm  gear, 
which  turns  against  the  geared  edge 
of  a  quadrant  secured  to  the  bottom 
of  the  pole.  The  pole  by  this  means 
is  raised  or  lowered  or  securely 
held  in  any  position  desired,  mak- 
ing it  possible  to  incline  pole  over 
parapet. 


u 


25-ft.  B-D  Pole,  H.  P. 
Hood  Co.  Building, 
Charlestown, 
Mass. 


Economy  of  Erection  and  Upkeep 

The  saving  in  erection  together  with 
a  yearly  inspection  and  painting  will 
offset  the  slight  additional  cost  of  the 
Easy  Access  Pole  over  that  of  the 
plainest  type  of  pole. 

It  is  readily  installed  on  all  types 
of  frame  or  fireproof  roof  construc- 
tion and  on  grade  foundations  within 
grounds  of  schools,  public  buildings, 
parks,  private  estates,  etc.  For  grade 
installation,  a  monumental  aluminum 
or  bronze  base  can  be  supplied  to 
cover  the  operating  mechanism,  to 
which  tablets  or  inscriptions  can  be 
attached. 

The  Patented  Easy  Access  Base 
Construction 

One  of  the  principal  features  of 
the  base  is  that  the  base  plate 
and  web  plates  are  integral  and 
installed  as  one.  By  this  method 
no  special  requirements  for  long  braces 
or  extra  flashings  are  required.  The 
comparatively  small  and  inconspic- 
uous base  is  set  on  an  island 
raised  above  the  roof  as  shown  in 
the  details  on  the  following  pages 
and  is  built  in  with  the  roof  con- 
struction. 

The  base  also  contains  the  worm 
which  operates  the  gears  of  the  quad- 
rant on  the  bottom  of  pole. 

The  heavily  galvanized  base  plate 
is  drilled  to  receive  anchor  bolts 
installed  according  to  shop 
drawings  supplied  by  us.  It 
is  set  in  plastic  cement  and 
bolted  to  roof  construction,  then  /jj. 


roofing  material  is  carried  over  it,  thoroughly  flashing  the 
base. 

The  island  type  of  construction  which  we  use  with  our  poles 
is  the  most  advanced  method  of  setting  flag  poles  and  it  is 
readily  seen  why  there  has  never  been  a  leaky  roof  where  any 
of  our  bases  have  been  installed. 


Poles  Sectional  or  Continuous  Taper 

Standard  poles  are  made  in  sections 
graduated  to  give  a  graceful  taper.  Con- 
tinuous taper  poles  can  also  be  supplied 
if  specified. 

Poles  are  constructed  from  copper  bear- 
ing steel  tubing  or  steel  pipe.  Sections 
of  sectional  poles  are  shrunk  and  welded 
together  so  that  all  joints  are  waterproof. 
Field  joints  where  recjuired  are  readily 
made,  upper  pieces  resting  on  heavy  sup- 
ports and  aligned  by  setscrews,  then 
caulked  or  welded  in  the  field.  Poles  are 
open  at  the  bottom  and  vented  through 
top.  The  ventilation  prevents  condensa- 
tion and  rusting  inside  of  pole.  All  poles 
are  given  one  coat  of  red  lead  and  two 
coats  of  aluminum  paint  before  ship- 
ment. 

The  Invisible  Halyard  Connector 

Our  invisible  connector  makes  a  con- 
tinuous halyard  that  can  be  readily  discon- 
nected to  renew  and  will  always  take  the 
strain  of  the  weight  of  the  halyard  off  of 
the  flag.  This  prevents  the  flag  ripping  at 
the  grommets.  With  this  connector  there 
is  no  opportunity  to  lose  the  halyard  while 
removing  the  flag. 

Specification 

Furnish  and  erect  Babcock-Davis  Easy 
Access  Pole   ft.  high  (if  canted,  spec- 

ify degree  of  angle),  equipped  with  (6,  8 
or  10-in.)  22-karat  gold  leafed  copper  ball, 
ball  bearing  swivel  top,  continuous  braided

B-D  BALL  BEARING,  NON-FOULING  REVOLVING  HALYARD  TOP 

Patent  Applied  For 


The  new  B-D  Bail-Bearing  Halyard 
Top  does  not  cut  or  chafe  the  halyards  and 
allow^s  the  flag  or  flags  to  fly  without  foul- 
ing. It  differs  from  the  ordinary  double 
halyard  top  in  principle  in  that  the  pulleys 
are  on  one  side  only,  instead  of  opposite 
sides.  For  this  reason  the  double  halyards 
are  always  pulling  together,  straight  over 
the  pulleys  of  the  B-D  top,  instead  of 
across  the  edge  of  the  pulley  and  petticoat 
of  the  ordinary  top  thereby  prevent- 
ing chafing  the  halyard,  especially  if  one 
flag  is  larger  than  the  other.  This  chafing 
also  occurs  when  only  one  flag  is  used  on 
the  ordinary  type  double  halyard  top. 

General  Construction — The  top  either 
for  sing^le  or  douljle  halyards  is  of  two- 
bearing,  free  flying  type.  The  bearings 
are  made  to  rigid  specifications,  as  com- 
piled by  the  U.  S.  Navy  Department, 
governing  all  the  control  pulley  bearings 
used  for  aeronautical  purposes.  There 
are  28  balls,  i/i  diameter  in  each  top. 
encased  so  that  rain  or  dirt  cannot  reach 
them.

in.  diameter  at  base  and 
5  in.  diameter  at  tip, 
equipped  with  bonnet  type 
halyard  top  and  12  in. 
gold  leafed  copper  ball 


Tops  are  made  of  aluminum  with  a  stain- 
less steel  spire  to  take  finial,  which  is  a 
20-oz.  spun  copper  ball  covered  with  22 
karat  gold  leaf,  waterproof  sized  and 
soldered  to  a  seamless  brass  tube.  This 
spire  will  also  accommodate  any  special 
design,  such  as  eagles,  vanes,  etc.,  instead 
of  the  usual  ball.  The  bronze  halyard 
sheaves  are  roller  bearing  on  stainless  steel 
pins.  Top  will  be  made  of  bronze  if  so 
specified. 

B-D  Bonnet  type  halyard  top  is  made  of 
either  bronze  or  aluminum.  Body  is  10  in. 
in  diameter  revolving  on  32  weather- 
proofed  1/4  in.  balls  entirely  enclosed  from 
rain  and  dirt.  Body  spindle  is  1 V2  in.  bronze. 
Finial  rod  is  %  in.  diameter  stainless  steel 
and  body  is  equipped  with  two  4  in. 
diameter  roller  bearing  bronze  sheaves 
mounted  on  V2  in.  stainless  steel  shaft. 

Continuous  or  Entasis  Tapered  Poles 

— have  a  perfectly  smooth  exterior  sur- 
face and  are  of  graceful  proportion.  By 
cur  new  method  of  manufacture  we  are 
now  able  to  re- 
duce the  price 
on  ''Entasis  or 
Continuous  Ta- 
pered" poles  to 
practically  the 
cost  of  a  heavy 
weight  sectional 
pole.

JOHN  E.  LINGO  &  SON,  INC. 
SWAGED  SECTIONAL  FLAGPOLES 


These  poles  are  fabricated  by  joining  consecutive  dimin- 
ishing diameters  of  new  mill  run  of  full  weight  standard,  open 
hearth  (lap-welded),  copper  bearing  steel  tested  pipe  with  joints 
either  of  the  shop  type 
(hydraulic  bell  die-swaged, 
telescoped  and  shrunk)  or 
of  the  field  type  (hydraulic 
bell  die-swaged  and  self- 
aligning),  constructed 
without  bolts,  pins,  rivets, 
screw  couplings  or  lead 
calking  and  designed  to 
withstand  wind  stresses  up 
to  90  miles  per  hour  with 
a  conservative  bending  re- 
sistance. They  are  shipped 
in  one  or  more  knocked 
down  sections  and  as- 
sembled on  the  ground  by 
means  of  the  field  joints. 
Each  section  is  made  to 
suit  car  lengths  which  al- 
lows transportation  at  a 
minimum  rate  (for  less  than  carload  lots)  and  each  section  may 
contain  two  or  more  pieces  to  produce  the  proper  reduction.  At 
the  erection  site  the  flagpole  erector  merely  pushes  or  telescopes 
the  sections  together  and  after  erection  makes  the  field  joints 
airtight  and  watertight  by  calking  metal  to  metal  with  only  an 
ordinary  hammer  and  calking  chisel.  Inexperienced  men  may, 
in  a  minimum  length  of  time,  accomplish  the  erection  of  these 
flagpoles.

Applicability 

Telescope  Joint   Pipe   Poles  are   suitable   for  all 

installations  of 
f  1   limited  cost  with- 

out sacrificing  the 
safety  and  dura- 
bility demonstrat-

make.  The  visibil- 
ity of  the  joints  is 
undesirable  but 
secondary  to  the 
structural  merits.

Choice  of  Metals 

All  of  our  "Telescope  Joint"  and  "Entasis  Tapered" 
Poles  are  of  "Copper-alloy"  Steel.  (Copper  content 
of  1%.)  All  of  our  "Conetaper"  Poles  are  of  U.  S. 
Standard  Pipe  Steel;  if  specified  of  other  steel  alloys 
or  wrought  iron,  they  can  be  made  only  by  hand  at 
much  greater  cost  although  neither  afford  advantages ; 
neither  are  rustless  nor  offer  a  superior  base  for  the 
obviously  indispensable  paint  protection  of  every  ferrous 
flag  pole. 

"Non-corrodible"  poles  are  available  in  solid  and  in 
"Jacketed"  type.  Preferred  metals  are  copper,  man- 
ganese bronze,  Muntz  metal  and  aluminum.  Poles  of 
about  3-in.  diameter  up  to  25  ft.  long  are  economical 
in  solid  metal  construction  while  larger  poles  are 
cheaper  and  safer  when  steel  pole  is  "Jacketed,"  viz. : — 

Encased  in  a  homogenously  welded  shell  of  above 
alloys,  from  i\  in.  to  Yg  in.  thick,  properly  insulated 
from  core  and  the  differential  of  expansion  com- 
pensated. 

Appurtenances 

We  manufacture  every 
imaginable  component  of 
every  type  of  flag  pole  setting : 
Braces,  Sockets,  Hangers, 
Finials,  Trucks,  Cleats,  etc., 
all  designed  to  meet  require- 
ments of  modern  construction 
and  handling  methods. 

Our  record  of  30  years' 
specialization  includes  the  tall- 
est free  standing  metal  flag 
pole  in  the  world,  the  first 
taper  pole,  the  first  non-cor- 
rodible metal  pole,  the  first 
hinged  "Outrigger"  pole  and 
the  first  of  every  improve- 
ment in  metal  flag  pole  con- 
struction. 

In  the  interest  of  economy, 
practical  design  and  fair  com- 
petition we  invite  Architects 
and  builders  to  submit  to  us, 
before  specifying,  any  pole 
project  in  its  rough  outlines 
and  permit  us  to  submit  detail 
sketches,  preliminary  costs 
and  tentative  impartial  speci- 
fications without  obligation  in- 
ferred or  incurred.  Catalogue,

Continuous  Tapered  Flagpoles 

Continuous  tapered  llagpoles  are  made 
by  a  new  process,  giving  pole  an  increased 
strength.  Material  used  in  construc- 
tion of  these  poles  is  steel,  copper 
bearing  steel,  stainless  steel,  bronze 
or  aluminum.   Continuous  tapered 
flagpoles  are  used  where  the  poles 
have  to  be  of  exceptional  architectural 
value.   These  flagpoles  are  made  to 
order  and  conically  tapered  or  with 
entasis  as  specified  by  the  architect. 
The  poles  are  furnished  in  lengths 
from  20  to  125  feet  and  equipped  with 
truck  and  finial  as  described  under 
telescoped  poles. 


Telescoped  Sectional  Flagpoles 

These  poles  are  produced  with  shrunk, 
welded  watertight  joints,  neatly  graduated. 
Stock  length  from  15  to  130  feet.  All 
joints  are  constructed  without  the  use  of 
lead  calking,  bolts  or  rivets.  Poles  fur-

Allegheny  Metal — Chemical  and  Physical  Properties 

Allegheny  Metal  is  a  smooth,  lustrous  18-8  chro- 
mium-nickel alloy  markedly  immune  to  water,  air  or 
acid  corrosion — manufactured  pursuant  to  license  from 
Chemical  Foundation,  Inc.,  under  basic  patents  Nos. 
1,316,817  and  1,339,378.  It  is  malleable  and  ductile, 
permitting  the  widest  range  of  design  and  application 
for  architectural  purposes — may  be  readily  welded,  an- 
nealed and  soldered,  drawn,  spun,  stamped,  cast  and 
machined. 

It  has  an  ultimate  strength,  when  annealed,  of  90,000 
to  100,000  lbs.  per  sq.  in.  as  compared  to  50,000  to 
60,000  lbs.  for  mild  steel. 

A  moderate  amount  of  cold  working  will  increase 
the  tensile  strength  to  125,000  lbs. 

Finish 

Allegheny  Metal  can  be  polished  and  buffed  to  any 
surface  up  to  the  smoothness  of  a  mirror,  giving  the 
architect  a  wide  range  of  contrasting  effects  from  dull 
to  brilliant.  It  can  also  be  etched  and  tooled  making 
possible  striking  ultra-modern  decorative  effects  for 
interior  or  exterior  building  applications. 

Ease  of  maintenance  is  illustrated  by  the  fact  that  no 
cleaning  fluids  or  powders  are 
ever  needed  to  keep  it  bright. 
Soap  and  water  are  all  that  is 
required  to  retain  its  original 
beautiful  finish.

Fabrication 


The  entire  fabricating  technique  of  Allegheny  Metal 
has  been  worked  out  and  tested  by  the  Allegheny  Lab- 
oratories and  the  results  published  in  our  booklet,  'The 
Fabrication  of  Allegheny  Metal."  Fabricators  through- 
out the  country  have  mastered  the  art  of  handling  Alle- 
gheny Metal  as  a  result. 

The  fabrication  of  Allegheny  Metal,  while  readily 
accomplished,  requires  greater  power,  more  efficient 
machinery,  and  skilled  w^orkmen  to  fashion  products  of 
this  alloy.  For  this  purpose  you  may  obtain  a  depend- 
able list  of  these  experienced  fabricators,  wdio  serve 
efficiently  and  inexpensively,  by  writing  the  Allegheny 
Steel  Company,  Brackenridge,  Pa. 

Applications 

Allegheny  Metal  combines  utility  with  beauty.  It 
gives  to  the  architect  a  material  of  limitless  building 
applications  from  ultra-modern  interior  treatment  to 
polished  building  domes.  Lobby  decoration,  elevator 
enclosures,  w^indow  frames,  metallic  doors,  bank  vaults, 
loggia  construction,  are  only  a  few  representative  appli- 
cations where  Allegheny  Metal  is  ideal.  Interior  trim 
includes  kick  plates,  mop  strip,  wnll^.  \v:iins( oIitil;.  ( 
umns,  ornamental  grille  work. 
Exterior  trim  includes  building 
entrances,  window  trim,  finials, 
pilaster,  cornice  and  peak  deco- 
ration.

Qualities  of  Aluminum 

Our  technical  stalf  exercises  rigid  scientific 
control  over  every  process  in  the  production  of 
Alcoa  Aluminum  and  Alcoa  Aluminum  Alloys — 
from  the  mining  of  bauxite  ore  to  the  production 
of  aluminum,  and  in  many  cases  to  the  fabrica- 
tion of  finished  forms.  That  is  why  Alcoa  Alu- 
minum is  superior  in  quality.  It  resists  corrosion, 
does  not  stain  adjacent  surfaces,  is  strong  and  easy  to 
work.  It  can  be  cast  accurately.  It  comes  in  many  fin- 
ishes;  in  castings,  extruded  shapes,  corrugated  sheet, 
tubing  and  every  other  form  you  can  possibly  require. 

Aluminum  is  the  lightest  of  all  metals  used  in  archi- 
tecture, weighing  only  one-third  as  much  as  others  com- 
monly used.  It  is  therefore  cheaper  to  ship  and  easier 
to  handle  and  erect.

Extruded  Architectural  Shapes 

Copper  alloys  which  can  be  hot  worked  are  success- 
fully wrought  into  finished  shapes  by  the  extrusion 
process,  which  results  in  a  section  homogeneous  in  tex- 
ture, strong  and  durable,  and  in  every  way  superior  to 
castings.  Extruded  shapes  are  characterized  by  their 
dense  structure  and  unusually  smooth  surface.  They  are 
entirely  free  from  the  pocked  surfaces  and  porosities 
found  in  sand  castings.  The  edges  are  sharp  and  clean. 

Dies — A  large  number  of  dies,  made  up  during  more 
than  30  years  for  the  production  of  extruded  bronze 
shapes  from  designs  by  many  leading  architects,  have 
been  released  for  general  use.  The  availability  of  these 
dies  often  eliminates  the  expense  of  special  die-making, 
reducing  the  cost  of  the  finished  metal  work. 

An  illustrated  catalog  showing  dimensional  cross- 
sections  of  these  stock  dies  is  in  course  of  preparation 
and  will  be  available  to  architects  during  the  early  part 
of  . 

Color  of  Extruded  Bronze 

Anaconda  Architectural  Extruded  Bronze  Shapes 
possess  a  natural  golden  color.  After  exposure  the 
metal  darkens  and  assumes  the  characteristic  color  of 
bronze.  The  metal  can  be  artificially  colored  to  obtain 
any  desired  effect.  Extruded  bronze  is  successfully 
matched  in  color  with  bronze  sheets  and  castings. 


Cold  Drawn  Architectural  Shapes 

When  light  mouldings  and  shapes  are  required 
gauges  and  alloys  not  extrudable,  the  cold  drawn 
process  is  used.  Seamless  tubing  with  plain  and 
irregular  cross-sections  are  also  produced  by  this 
method. 

A  wide  range  of  alloys  can  be  worked  by  this 
method,  offering  color  combinations  not  possible 
with  extruded  shapes. 


Ana^HdA

mc.u.vE^  RAT.orr. 


These  cold  drawn  shapes  are  used  for 
numerous  architectural  purposes,  such  as 
interior  trim,  window  frames,  showcases, 
store  fronts,  etc. 

A  catalogue  illustrating  the  dimensional 
cross-sections  of  the  thousands  of  cold 
drawn  shapes  for  which  dies  are  available, 
without  additional  tool  cost,  is  offered  to  architects  and 
draftsmen. 

White  Forging  Metal 

Ambrac  Metal  is  successfully  hot  forged  in  the  same 
manner  as  is  iron  and  steel.  This  alloy,  composed  prin- 
cipally of  copper  and  nickel,  is  white  clear  through 
and  combines  great  strength  with  unusually  high  re- 
sistance to  corrosion.  Unlike  other  high  strength  white 
metals,  Ambrac  is  not  refractory,  but  can  be  worked 
almost  as  easily  as  brass. 

Metal  Grilles 

Fabricators  are  producing  Anaconda  Brass,  Bronze 
and  Nickel  Silver  grilles  of  all  types,  in  both  cast  and 
perforated  form.  The  use  of  the  perforated  grille, 
stamped  from  a  heavy  sheet  of  metal,  has  increased 
greatly,  since  this  type  of  grille  has  an  attractive  appear- 
ance and  is  produced  at  considerably  lower  cost.  The 
products  of  leading  grille  manufacturers  are  available 
in  Anaconda  Brass,  Bronze  and  Nickel  Silver,  the  basic 
materials  being  supplied  by  The  American  Brass  Com- 
pany in  ingot  and  sheet  form. 

Bronze  Weatherstrips 

Anaconda  Bronze  is  standard  with  leading  manufac- 
turers of  metal  weatherstrips.  Bronze  weatherstrips  can- 
not rust,  cannot  disintegrate.  Strong  and  tough,  they 
have  permanent  spring  qualities  and  offer  greater  re- 
sistance to  accidental  damage. 

Terrazzo  Dividing  Strips 

With  the  increased  popularity  of  terrazzo  work,  con- 
siderable attention  has  been  given  the  development  of 
strips  that  would  serve  well  the  double  function  of  set- 
ting off  the  terrazzo  design  and  of  minimizing  the 
danger  of  cracking  from  expansion  and  contraction. 
Leading  strip  manufacturers  are  fabricating  their  prod- 
uct from  Anaconda  Brass  and  Nickel  Silver. 


Manufactured  Forms 

Anaconda  Architectural  Bronze,  Brass  and  Nickel 
Silver  are  produced  in  the  form  of  rods,  bars,  sheets, 
drawn  shapes  and  extruded  shapes,  and  casting  ingots, 
fully  meeting  the  requirements  of  designers  and  fabri- 
cators of  fine  ornamental  metal  work.

EVERDUR  METAL— SHEETS,  WIRE,  RODS,  TUBES 

'^EvERDUR*  is  a  registered  trade-mark  identifying  products  of  The  American  Brass  Company 
made  from  alloys  of  copper,  silicon  and  other  elements. 


Everdur  Metal 

EvERDUR  Metal  is  recommended  for  use 
wherever  service  conditions  require  a  metal 
combining  the  strength  of  steel  with  high 
resistance  to  corrosion. 


fERDDB 


General  Properties 

Everdur  is  golden  bronze  in  color.  It  has  the  strength 
of  medium  carbon  steel,  is  non-rusting,  and  offers  high 
resistance  to  a  large  number  of  corroding  agents  (cor- 
rosion-resistance data  sent  on  request). 

Everdur  can  be  cast,  rolled,  drawn,  spun,  forged, 
pressed  and  welded,  and  is  worked  either  hot  or  cold. 
It  is  unique  among  high-strength,  non-ferrous  metals  in 
that  it  is  readily  welded  by  all  commonly  used  methods. 

Everdur  makes  sound  castings  and  possesses  good 
machining  qualities.  It  is  available  in  all  commercial 
shapes. 

Tanks  and  Boilers 

Everdur,  with  its  high  strength  and  excellent  cor- 
rosion resisting  properties,  is  an  ideal  metal  to  use  for 
water  storage  and  process  tanks  of  welded  construc- 
tion. 

Everdur  tank  plates  are  supplied  by  The  American 
Brass  Company  in  any  size  and  thickness  up  to   
pounds  in  weight  for  the  fabrication  of  large  welded 
or  riveted  tanks. 

Everdur  tanks  in  service  today  range  in  size  up  to 
20,000  gallons.  Twenty-seven  concerns  are  prepared  to 
quote  upon  and  produce  Everdur  tanks  to  individual 
specifications.    Names  on  request. 

The  majority  of  manufacturers  of  automatic  storage 
water  heaters  for  domestic  use — both  gas  and  electric — 
now  furnish  their  heaters  equipped  with  welded  Ever- 
dur tanks.  The  ease  with  which  Everdur  lends  itself 
to  fabrication  by  welding  has  made  these  rust-proof, 
Everdur  tanked  heaters  available  today  at  moderate 
prices. 

Air  Conditioning  Equipment 

Everdur  Metal  has  been  used  with  marked  success 
for  fans  and  blowers,  ducts,  humidifiers  (air  washers) 
and  for  various  cast  and  wrought  parts  of  other  equip- 
ment items  subject  to  cor- 
rosive influences. 

Wherever  corrosion  re- 
duces the  service  life  of 
rustable  metals  to  a  point 
where  they  are  uneconomi- 
cal, Everdur  is  offered  in 
many  cases  as  the  ideal 
material.  Because  of  its 
strength  and  welding  prop- 
erties, it  may  be  substituted 
for  steel  fabricated  by  sub- 
stantially the  same  meth- 
ods, and  with  the  same  Patterson-Kelley  Welded  Everdur 
equipment.  the  Patterson-Kelley  Company, 


Everdur  Electrical  Conduit 

Everdur  metal  conduit  is  offered  for  use 
wherever  corrosive  conditions  are  such  as 
to  render  rustable  conduit  unsatisfactory 
from  the  standpoints  of  durability  and 
safety.  Everdur  Electrical  Conduit — EMT  (electrical 
metallic  tubing)  and  RC  (rigid  conduit) — is  listed  and 
labeled  by  Underwriters'  Laboratories.  It  is  seamless 
drawn  to  accurate  sizes  for  use  with  Everdur  Fittings 
which  are  readily  obtainable  in  standard  designs. 

Smoke  Washers,  Ventilating  Apparatus,  Skylight 
Frames,  Etc. 

Because  of  its  high  resistance  to  corrosion,  Everdur 
is  used  to  advantage  for  smoke  and  soot  washers.  It  has 
also  been  found  extremely  practicable 
for  ventilating  ducts,  floor  drains, 
nuts,  bolts,  screws,  etc.,  subjected  to 
the  corrosive  conditions  encountered  in 
battery  rooms,  electroplating  estab- 
lishments, railroad  terminal  sheds, 
chemical  plants,  etc.  In  the  last  few 
years  Everdur  has  been  used  with 
marked  success  for  skylight  frames 
and  supports  under  conditions  so  ex- 
treme that  less  durable  materials  failed 
in  a  short  time. 


Ventilating 
Duct  of  Ever- 
dur Sheet 
Metal 


Terra  Cotta  Anchors,  Etc. 

Due  to  the  high  strength,  toughness  and  ductility  of 
wrought  Everdur,  and  to  the  fact  that  these  prop- 
erties do  not  diminish  even  though 
the  metal  is  constantly  subject  to  the 
deteriorating  influence  of  water  and 
Drop-       ^'^^^    moisture,  Everdur  is  being  used  for 
forged  terra  cotta  anchors,  window  cleaners* 

Everdur  Window  ^^^^^y  anchors  and  bolts,  ceiling 
gleaner  s  jarery  . 

Anchor  hangers,  etc. 

Roofing  Nails 

Everdur  is  being  employed  on  an  increasing  scale 
for  nailing  slate,  heavy  tile  and  other  materials  of  con- 
siderable weight.  Everdur  nails  possess  the  strength  of 

steel  nails,  as  well  as  im- 
munity to  rust  and  high  re- 
sistance to  corrosion.  They 
can  be  driven  into  hard 
woods  or  other  materials 
without  bending  in  the 
shank  or  flattening  at  the 
points. 


Consultation  Service 

An  Anaconda  engineer 
will  be  pleased  to  consult 
with  architects  desiring  fur- 
ther information  on  the 
many  applications  of  Ever- 
dur in  modern  buildings.

There  are  several  different  grades  of  stain- 
less steels,  each  intended  for  a  specific  pur- 
pose. Two  of  these  grades,  however,  fully 
meet  the  requirements  of  most  architectural 
work.  In  Armco  18-8  and  Armco  17  you  may 
have  the  most  widely-used  types  of  the  dif- 
ferent iron-chromium  and  iron-chromium- 
nickel  steels  that  have  in  recent  years  come 
into  demand  for  building  construction.  Both  grades 
rank  high  in  corrosion  resistance,  workability,  tensile 
strength,  and  endurance  at  elevated  temperatures. 
Armco  Stainless  Steel  sheets  also  are  made  in  the  vari- 
ous surface  finishes  desired  by  architects  as  well  as  by 
fabricators  of  building  equipment  and  appliances. 

Long  Metallurgical  Background 

Into  Armco  Staink^ss  Steels  have  been  poured  more 
than  thirty  years  of  metallurgical  knowledge.  The 
different  grades  and  finishes  are  as  flawless  as  minds, 
hands  and  machines  can  produce.  No  effort,  time  and 
money  have  been  spared  to  provide  flat-rolled  stainless 
steels  that  measure  up  to  the  highest  and  most  exacting 
architectural  standards. 

Armco  18-8  Grade 

An  iron-chromium-nickel  steel  made  especially  for 
architectural  uses  from  which  utmost  resistance  to  cor- 
rosion is  required.  Armco  18-8  contains  approximately 
18%  chromium  and  8%  nickel.  Good  fabricating  qual- 
ities and  well-suited  for  shaping  to  intricate  designs. 

Armco  18-8  is  austenitic  in  nature,  essentially  non- 
magnetic, and  cannot  be  hardened  by  heat-treatment.  It 
consistently  withstands  corrosive  attack  in  the  atmos- 
phere, and  is  also  non-corrodible  in  many  chemical 
solutions. 

This  grade  is  extraordinarily  tough  and  possesses  ex- 
ceptional ductility.  It  can  be  formed  severely  in  the  cold 
state.  Its  great  strength  is  retained  even  at  elevated 
temperatures,  and  it  has  excellent  oxidation  resistance 
up  to  approximately  °  F. 

Armco  18-8  is  recommended  for  all  architectural  uses 
where  beauty  of  surface,  ease  of  cleaning,  and  perma- 
nence of  color  are  demanded. 

Armco  17  Grade 

An  iron-chromium  steel  containing  approximately 
17%  chromium.  This  type  of  stainless  steel  is  also  non- 
hardenable,  like  the  18-8  grade,  but  is  essentially  ferritic 
in  nature  and  magnetic.  In  the  polished  finish,  Armco 
17  offers  staunch  resistance  to  atmospheric  corrosion, 
and  is  immune  from  attack  by  many  dilute  organic  acids 
and  by  dilute  salt  solution.  It  is  especially  well  en- 
dowed for  resistance  to  nitric  acid. 


At  elevated  temperatures  up  to  approxi- 
mately °  F.,  Armco  17  offers  an  unusu- 
ally attractive  combination  of  heat  and  corro- 
sion-resistance. Furnace  atmospheres  have 
very  little  effect  on  the  metal,  while  its  ob- 
stinate resistance  to  sulfur  fumes  and  to 
moisture  is  remarkable. 

Armco  17  Stainless  Steel  is  ductile  and  can 
readily  be  formed  to  complex  architectural 
details  when  the  proper  technique  is  employed.  When 
polished,  its  beautiful  clear  lustre  and  silver  color  are 
exceedingly  attractive. 

Six  Surface  Finishes — One  for  Every  Use 

Armco  Stainless  Steel  sheets,  strip  and  plates  may  be 
specified  in  any  of  these  different  surface  finishes,  each 
of  which  is  applicable  to  a  specific  use : 

No.  1— Hot-Rolled,  Annealed  and  Pickled.  A  white  pickk-d 
finish. 

No.  2-D— Dull  Full  Finish:  Hot-Rolled,  Annealed,  Cold 
Rolled  and  Pickled.  A  smooth,  dull,  cold-rolled  finish. 

No.  2-B— Bright  Full  Finish  :  Hot-Rolled,  Annealed,  Pickled 
and  Cold  Rolled.    A  smooth,  bright,  cold-rolled  finish. 

No.  4— Standard  Polish.  A  bright,  satin  finish  with  very  fine 
polish  lines. 

No.  6— Standard  Polish,  Tampico  Brushed.  A  soft-lustred, 
velvety  finish. 

No.  7 — High  Lustre  Polish.  A  smoothly  polished  and  buffed 
finish. 

Where  to  Use  in  Architecture 

Architects  have  discovered  so  many  appropriate  uses 
for  stainless  steels  in  recent  years  that  it  would  be 
virtually  impossible  to  list  all  here  and  treat  them  ade- 
quately. In  general,  it  might  be  said  that  Armco 
Stainless  Steel  sheets,  strip,  and  plates  may  ideally  be 
employed  for  all  flat  or  formed  construction  where 
corrosion-resistance,  heat-resistance,  and  permanent 
attractiveness  are  desired.  With  a  working  knowledge 
of  the  properties  and  qualities  of  Armco  18-8  and 
Armco  17  in  mind,  the  architect  may  design  any  detail, 
motif,  ornament  and  ensemble  that  is  reproducible  in 
flat-rolled  metals.  This,  too,  with  wide  latitude  in  con- 
ception and  execution.

ECONOMY  OF  DESIGNING  WITH  CHASE  EXTRUDED  SHAPES 
In  Architectural  Bronze  and  Nickel  Silver 

will  find  that  these  standard  sections  are  particularly 
adaptable  to  original  bronze  designs. 


Why  These  Shapes  Are  Economical 

It  is  more  economical  to  use  extruded  bronze  and 
nickel  silver  in  place  of  cast  or  drawn  shapes.  By 
means  of  the  extrusion  process  shapes  may  be  formed 
to  a  minimum  thickness  which  reduces  the  tonnage  con- 
siderably. This  results  in  a  substantial  savings  in  costs 
when  a  quantity  of  material  is  used.  The  extrusion  process 
also  makes  it  possible  to  get  sharper  and  cleaner  profiles  than 
can  be  obtained  with  cast  or  drawn  bronze.  This  helps  toward 
faithful  execution  of  even  the  most  intricate  designs. 

On  all  new  extruded  shapes  it  necessary  to  add  a  special 
charge  to  cover  the  cost  of  new  dies.  You  can  eliminate  this 
extra  cost  by  including  only  standard  extruded  shapes  in  your 
specifications.  There  are  hundreds  of  Chase  Standard  sections 
available  in  both  Architectural  Bronze  and  Nickel  Silver.  You

^'Modernizing  Main  Street" 

Chase  standard  extruded  shapes  in  Architectural 
Bronze  and  Nickel  Silver  are  particularly  adapted  to 
remodeling  work.  Right  now  in  the  midst  of  the  "Modernizing 
Main  Street"  m^ovement,  the  architect  can  save  time  and  money 
by  specifying  these  standard  sections.  There  is  a  wide  range 
of  shapes,  designed  especially  for  store  front  construction. 
Also  cornices,  door  jambs,  hand  rails  and  all  types  of  mould- 
ings for  interior  decorative  trim.  A  complete  knowledge  of 
Chase  extruded  shapes  will  help  the  architect  to  take  ad- 
vantage of  standard  sections  on  all  types  of  Architectural 
metal  work.

SHAPES  AND  USES 
Pilasters 

This  detail  illustrates  the 
method  used  to  produce  full 
round  pilasters  using  two  sec- 
tions of  a  reversible  shape.  An 
assembly  of  this  kind  is  espe- 
cially effective  when  smaller 
sections  are  used  to  form  col- 
onettes  in  conjunction  with 
other  members. 

Miscellaneous  Shapes 

There  are  several  hundred 
miscellaneous  standard  shapes 
which  can  be  applied  to  origi- 
nal bronze  designs.  This  ef- 
fects a  saving  in  both  time  and 
cost.  Many  of  these  shapes 
have  two  or  more  applications. 
For  example :  Chase  Shape  No. 
935  was  used  as  a  window  stool 
nosing  and  it  was  also  used  to 
produce  an  attractive  bronze 
trim.  Chase  Shape  No.  931  has 
been  effectively  used  as  a  panel 
moulding.

An  Exclusive  and  Revolutionary  Bohn  Extrusion  Development 


Again  our  engineering  and  research  development 
leads  the  field.  Extruded  hollow  shapes,  all  of  one  piece 
are  now  available  to  the  trade. 

It  is  no  longer  necessary  to  accept  the  substitutes  of 
lock  seams,  dovetail  pieces  or  welded  seams. 

The  tremendous  advantages  are  obvious,  typical  cross 
sections  of  production  specimens  are  shown  in  the 
margin. 


BOHN  ALUMINUM  & 

Bohnalite  extruded  aluminum  shapes  are  manufac- 
tured for  the  architectural  metal  trade  under  rigid  metal- 
lurgical and  mechanical  control  throughout  the  entire 
process  of  manufacture. 

Virgin  metals  are  alloyed  to  produce  the  various  alu- 
minum alloys  recognized  for  architectural  purposes. 
Each  step  in  the  preparation  and  melting  of  these  alloys 
is  subject  to  strict  laboratory  supervision  to  insure  a 
finished  product  of  the  highest  possible  grade. 

Bohnalite  alloys  are  highly  resistant  to  atmospheric 
corrosion,  are  colorless  and  will  not  stain  or  streak 
adjoining  surfaces. 

The  danger  of  cracking  or  splitting  due  to  internal 
strains  is  absent,  as  Bohnalite  alloys  will  return  to  their 
original  structure  after  expansion  or  contraction. 

Bohnalite  alloys  are  approximately  one-third  the 
weight  of  other  commonly  used  architectural  metals, 
with  the  consequent  economy  of  material  cost,  shipping, 
handling  and  erecting.

Architectural  Castings 

Bohnalite  alloys  have  a  spe- 
cific gravity  of  2.7  and  in  com- 
parison with  other  commonly 
used  architectural  metals,  their 
weight  is  approximately  one- 
third. 

The  advantage  gained  by  this 
saving  in  weight  results  in  a 
favorable  comparative  material 
cost,  and  in  addition  a  sub- 
stantial economy  in  transporta- 
tion handling  and  erection  costs. 

Typical  examples  of  Bohna- 
lite architectural  castings  are 
found  in  spandrels,  copings, 
sills,  crestings,  grilles,  en- 
trances, newel  posts  and  balus- 
trades, cornices  and  tablets.

An  important  factor  of  any  metal  in  architectural  use  is  its 
adaptability  to  various  methods  of  fabrication  and  the  variety 
of  shapes  and  forms  in  which  the  metal  may  be  employed. 
Monel  Metal  can  be  fabricated  in  every  manner  known  to  the 
art  with  the  sole  exception  that  it  cannot  be  extruded.  It  may 
be  forged,  cast,  inlaid,  turned,  machined,  drawn,  rolled,  en- 
graved, etched,  and  cloissone  enameled.  In  short,  the  entire  art 
of  the  metal  craftsman  can  be  employed  in  developing  deco- 
rative or  utilitarian  products  of  Afonel  Aletal  as  long  as  ex- 
truded patterns  are  not  demanded  by  the  designer.  For  details 
on  the  many  shapes  and  forms  in  which  Monel  Metal  is  avail- 
able, we  suggest  that  you  communicate  with  the  nearest  source 
of  Monel  Metal  (listed  above). 

Properties  of  Monel  Metal 

Monel  Metal  is  classified  as  a  distinctive  white  metal,  more 
closely  akin  to  white  precious  metals  in  color  and  reflectivity 
than  to  any  other  well-known  group  of  metals.  Monel  Metal 
may  be  effectively  finished  in  a  variety  of  ways,  ranging  from 
the  sand-grained  surface  of  unfinished  castings  to  a  mirror 
polish  with  intermediate  finishes  in  great  variety.  The  following 
summary  of  Monel  Metal  gives  a  general  idea  of  the  unique 
combination  of  properties  in  Monel  Metal  which  point  to  its 
superiority  for  both  domestic  and  institutional  Food  Service  and 
Hospital  Equipment. 

1.  Absolutely  rust-proof. 

2.  Resists  corrosion  by  food  juices  and  fruit  acids. 

3.  Strong  as  steel,  tougher  than  steel. 

4.  Easy  to  clean;  therefore  sanitary. 

5.  Beautiful  appearance;  has  color  of  platinum. 

6.  Durable-proven  by  over  20  years  of  service. 

7.  Easily  fabricated. 

Monel  Metal  in  the  Home  and  Public  Buildings 

The  silvery  beauty  of  Monel  Metal  and  its  unique  combina- 
tion of  physical  properties  are  responsible  for  its  use  in  a  wide 
variety  of  architectural  applications. 

In  modern  hotels  and  restaurants  Monel  Metal  is  extensively 
used  for  such  food  service  equipment  as  cook  tables,  serving 
counters,  dishwashing  machines,  etc.  A  15-page  illustrated 
booklet  entitled,  "The  Selection  of  Food  Service  Equipment" 


will  be  of  interest  to  architects  who  are  planning 
hotels  or  restaurants. 

In  hospitals  Monel  Metal  is  used  for  food  service 
equipment,  service  pantries,  nurses'  stations,  hospital 
furniture,  clinical  equipment,  and  hospital  utensils. 
Hospital  laundries  are  usually  equipped  with  Monel 
Metal  washing  machines.  A  12-page  fully  illustrated 
booklet  entitled,  "The  Selection  of  Hospital  Equip- 
ment," describes  the  many  uses  of  Monel  Metal  in 
the  above  departments. 

In  the  home  Monel  Metal  is  principally  used  for 
kitchen  and  pantry  sinks,  cabinet  sinks  and  working 
tops,  automatic  water  heater  tanks  and  range  boilers. 
See  index  for  other  pages  giving  details  of  above

BRONZES  FOR  ARCHITECTURAL  USE 
Sheets 

Revere  panel  sheets  are  characterized  by  their  flat- 
ness, fine  finish  and  uniform  color.  They  are  offered 
in  Revere  60  Bronze,  Revere  85  Bronze  and  Revere 
90  Bronze. 

Revere  60  Bronze  Sheets 

Revere  Copper  and  Brass  Incorporated  has  more 
than  a  century  of  experience  in  the  production  of  sheet 
metals.  Revere  60  Bronze  Sheets  enjoy  the  highest 
reputation,  and  have  no  superior  and  are  preferred  by 
fabricators  because  of  their  flatness,  fine  finish,  uni- 
formity of  surface  and  color  as  well  as  the  ease  with 
which  they  are  formed.  Each  step  of  their  manufac- 
ture is  closely  checked  and  controlled  by  men  of  long 
experience  in  their  production.

Another  advantage  of  Revere  60  Bronze  Sheets  is  the 
close  color  match  obtained  when  they  are  used  in  connec- 
tion with  Revere  Extruded  Architectural  Bronze  Shapes. 

Ample  stocks  of  these  sheets  are  carried  in  a  large 
range  of  sizes  and  thicknesses  for  prompt  shipment.  In 
addition,  Revere  has  facilities  for  producing  sheets  of 
extreme  width  and  length,  depending  on  the  thickness 
required. 

Revere  85  Bronze  and  Revere  90  Bronze  Sheets 

These  sheets  are  recommended  for  use  with  drawn 
shapes  and  tubular  sections  of  the  same  alloy  as  the 
sheets,  color  match  being  thus  assured. 

Revere  Extruded  Architectural  Bronze  Shapes 

Extruded  architectural  shapes  are  particularly  adapt- 
ed for  the  construction  of  entrances,  doorways,  store 
fronts,  grilles  and  windows. 

These  shapes  are  uniform  and  accurate  in  size.  As 
compared  to  castings,  Revere  extruded  shapes  are 
stronger  and  lighter;  also  the  cost  of  finishing  them  is 
much  less  and  at  the  same  time  rejections  are  reduced  to 
a  negligible  factor.  The  average  tensile  strength  is  in 
excess  of  45,000  pounds  to  the  square  inch. 

Revere  has  facilities  and  experience  for  producing 
these  shapes  in  plain  or  intricate  design  in  commercial 
sizes  up  to  and  including  six  inches  overall  dimension 
and  in  lengths  up  to  twenty  feet. 

NICKEL  SILVER  SHEETS 

Where  a  white  metal  with  unusually  fine  surface 
and  finish  is  desired.  Revere  Nickel  Silver  serves  a 
definite  architectural  purpose. 

This  material  is  furnished 
in  both  sheet  and  shape  form, 
making  possible  an  absolute 
match  in  color  and  finish. 

Nickel  Silver  Extruded 
Architectural  Shapes  can  be 
supplied  up  to  six  inches  wide 
and  not  less  than  one-eighth 
inch  in  thickness.

Great  care  is  exercised  in  the  straightening  of  Revere 
shapes  which  is  a  time-saver  in  fabricating. 

Revere  Extruded  Architectural  Bronze  Shapes  pro- 
duce a  good  color  match  when  used  with  Revere  60 
Bronze  Panel  Sheets. 

Drawn  Shapes 

Where  light  weight  mouldings  and  shapes  are  required 
for  use  in  interior  trim,  show  cases,  store  fronts  and 
other  places,  Revere  drawn  shapes  are  recommended. 

Rods 

Revere  Rods  for  architectural  purposes  are  furnished 
in  the  same  mixtures  as  sheet  metals  and  extruded  shapes. 

Tubes 

Revere  85  Bronze  is  made  in  round,  square,  rectangu- 
lar and  special  tube  forms  for  architectural  purposes 
such  as  stiles,  railings,  and  balustrades.

U.  S.  Patents  No.  1,973,795

Other  Patents  Pending 

For  the  Application  of  Decorative  Metals,  Structural  Glass,  Tile,  Plastics,  Asbestos -Board  or  Other  Flat 
Sheet  Materials,  used  either  Alone  or  in  Combination  with  Metal,  with  or  without  Insulation 


General  Information 

The  Revecon  System  is  a  completely  engineered  method,  using 
especially  designed  extruded  structural  sections  of  bronze  or 
aluminum  alloys  to  apply  any  rigid  flat  sheet  materials  or  formed- 
edge  metal  panels,  alone  or  in  combination,  to  exterior  or  interior 
wall  surfaces  in  any  suitable  type  of  construction. 

Materials 

In  the  past,  basic  sheet  materials  have  been  used  principally  for 
decorative  purposes,  but,  when  applied  with  Revecon  Structural 
Sections,  they  act  in  a  structural  as  well  as  decorative  capacity, 
and  are  interchangeable. 

Modern  architecture,  incorporating  flat  sheet  materials  has 
necessitated  the  development  of  new  elements  with  which  these 
new  material  forms  may  be  constructed. 

Decorative  materials,  particularly  metal,  possess  inherent  cor- 
rosion-free, permanent  characteristics.  With  the  Revecon  system, 
practically  any  sheet  material  may  be  used,  as  for  example :  Plain 
copper,  lead-coated  copper,  chromium  plated  copper,  porcelain 
enameled  copper,  bronze,  aluminum,  stainless  steel,  porcelain 
enameled  iron  or  steel ;  also  glass,  resin,  or  plastic  in  sheet  forms. 
Furthermore,  porcelain  enameled  metals  or  other  synthetic  mate- 
rials and  glass  have  a  practically  unlimited  color  range,  while  lead- 
coated  copper,  as  well  as  porcelain  enameled  metals,  have  con- 
siderable latitude  in  texture. 

The  general  acceptance  of  such  materials  in  this  new  form  is 
established,  but  their  more  general  use  has  been  partially  restricted 
through  lack  of  sufficient  knowledge  as  to  their  application.  The 
Revecon  System  can  be  looked  upon  as  the  key  to  coordinate  the 
use  of  these  materials  formerly  offered  the  building  industry  as 

[ 


isolated  products,  the  application  of  which  has  heretofore  been 
stressed  by  individual  manufacturers,  but  which  may  now  be  used 
in  unlimited  variations  or  combinations  of  design,  color  and 
product. 

Application  of  Horizontal  Holding  Sections 

Application  by  means  of  the  Revecon  System  can  be  made  over 
new  or  old  surfaces,  or  superstructure  of  any  material,  including 
structural  shapes.  The  sections,  usually  applied  horizontally  of 
semi-circular  shape,  are  secured  to  the  face  of  the  structural  points, 
or  surface  to  be  covered,  with  bolts,  drive  screws,  or  plugged  into 
wall  shields  as  the  case  may  justify. 

Vertical  Sections 

Vertical  sections,  as  shown  on  following  pages,  have  each  end 
notched  by  means  of  hacksaw  cuts,  which  cuts  or  notches  fit  into 
the  track  at  the  top  and  bottom  of  the  horizontal  holding  sections. 

They  ride  horizontally  and  can  be  moved  along  the  track  to  any 
point  where  a  vertical  joint  is  desired. 

The  vertical  joint  sections  act  as  spacers  for  accurately  locating 
the  horizontal  holding  sections,  and  also  as  a  backing  for  the 
vertical  joint  itself,  which  is  of  a  dovetail  shape,  to  retain  the 
metallic  compound  used  as  the  joint  filler. 

The  horizontal  and  vertical  sections,  after  erection,  form  a 
strong,  light,  interlocking  skeleton  framework,  adjustable  within 
certain  limits  as  to  panel  or  material  sheet  size. 

THE  REVECON  SYSTEM— Details  of  Component  Parts 

The  Revecon  System  incorporates  two  methods  of  application, 
briefly  described  on  the  two  following  pages.

vertical  sections 


Secure  to  any  surface,  new  or 

old,  or  any  superstructure  of 
any  material,  with  bolts,  or 
drive  screws,  as  required 


APPLICATION  OF  FORMED-EDGE  METAL  PANELS  USING  RIGID  SHEET  BACKING 


The  application  is  developed  by  the  use  of  metal  panels  of  any 
selected  material  or  combination  of  materials  which  have  previ- 
ously had  the  two  parallel  long  edges  broken  to  a  profile  to  fit  the 
internal  contour  of  the  horizontal  holding  sections.  These  formed- 
edge  metal  panels  are  applied  from  the  outside  by  pressing  them 
into  the  holding  sections  which  have  been  filled  with  metallic  com- 
pound. They  are  securely  held  in  position  and  form  a  metal  wall 
surface. 

All  formed-edge  metal  panels  are  utilized  in  tension  mstead  of 
compression.  The  economy  of  applying  light  gauge  panels  in  ten- 
sion, with  inexpensive  rigid  sheet  backing,  if  desired,  interlocking 


with  the  sections,  without  any  plastic  bond,  is  one  of  the  valuable 
and  unique  features  of  the  Revecon  System,  in  addition  to  which 
the  System  has  the  advantages  of  rigidity,  air  tight  construction, 
flexibility  of  design,  and  permits  full  expansion  and  contraction 
in  each  individual  panel. 

The  metallic  compound  which  is  used  to  fill  all  joints  is  applied 
with  a  caulking  gun.  As  it  embeds  all  panel  edges,  remains  plastic 
and  adheres  securely  to  the  metal  under  all  conditions,  it  makes 
an  attractive,  waterproof  joint,  at  the  same  time  permitting  proper 
expansion  and  contraction. 


Revecon  sections  (illustrated  in  reverse)  on  this  and  follozving  page  are  shown  actual  sine. 


Similar  to  the  application  of 
formed-edge  metal  panels,  flat  sheets 
of  any  metal  or  material,  including 
glass  or  a  combination  of  materials, 
may  be  used  to  cover  any  surface, 
new  or  old  of  any  superstructure 
or  material,  including  structural 
shapes.  The  Revecon  extruded 
structural  sections  used  in  this  con- 
nection are  of  special  design  and 
depend  fundamentally  on  a  friction 
principle,  forming  a  framework  to 
receive  the  flat  sheet  materials. 

The  flat  sheets  are  placed  against 
the  shoulders  of  the  Revecon  struc- 
tural friction  keeper  section,  metal- 
lic compound  is  applied  to  the  shoul- 
ders of  the  section,  and  the  sections 
are  mounted  horizontally  and  verti- 
cally over  the  surface  or  super- 
structure to  be  covered.  Revecon 
structural  friction  cap  section  is 
then  placed  over  all  joints,  pressed 
home,  and  engages  the  keeper  sec- 
tion with  a  secure  friction  grip, 
forming  an  attractive  metal  batten 
cap  joint,  permanent  and  water- 
tight, only  y^"  wide.

APPLICATION  OF  FLAT  SHEET  GLASS  USED  WITH  FORMED  EDGE  METAL  PANELS 


By  using  a  combination  of  Revecon  structural  sections,  flat  sheet 
glass  may  be  interchanged  with  formed-edge  metal  panels,  elim- 
inating the  conventional  sash  and  frame,  and  enabling  the  archi- 
tect to  design  "units  of  light"  or  bands  of  glass,  either  horizontally 
or  vertically. 


Vertical  sections  for  use  with  glass  have  their  ends  notched  in 
the  same  manner  as  previously  described ;  may  be  placed  where 
desired ;  are  pointed  as  in  the  case  of  the  formed-edge  panel,  and 
the  glass  panels  themselves  are  embedded  in  metallic  compound.

The  adaptability  and  flexibility 
of  the  entire  Revecon  System  is 
particularly  well  illustrated  in 
detail  at  left,  which  shows  how 
formed-edge  metal  panels  and  flat 
sheet  materials  may  be  used  in 
combination  by  slipping  the  struc- 
tural friction  keeper  section  inside 
of  a  holding  section.

Erection 

Any  wall  surface,  masonry  superstructure  or  skeleton 
frame  using  structural  shapes  in  the  standard  way  may  be 
used  as  backing  for  the  Revecon  sections. 

Supporting  studs  or  structural  points  are  erected  ni  the 
usual  way,  properly  spaced,  subject  to  wind  pressure,  in 
accordance  with  local  building  codes,  but,  m  general,  6  U 
to  l(yO"  spacing  may  be  designed  if  care  is  exercised  in 
choice  of  selected  sections  and  center  to  center  spacing  of 
horizontal  holding  members  is  observed. 

Revecon  structural  sections  are  then  attached  to  the  face 
of  the  vertical  structural  points,  or  surface  to  be  covered, 
with  bolts,  drive  screws,  or  plugged  into  wall  shields  as 
the  case  may  justify. 

The  sections  are  erected,  panels  applied,  and  glass  sec- 
tions inserted  by  local  contractor  using  the  building  craft 
that  has  jurisdiction  over  this  type  of  erection  in  his 

locality.  .  ,  n  i  i 

The  Revecon  System  lends  itself  readily  to  rapid  held 
erection,  eliminating  costly  delays  between  trades,  mak- 
ing it  possible  to  use  continuous  straight  line  methods  of 
construction. 

Fabrication 

The  f ormed-edge  metal  panels  can  be  fabricated  by  any 
sheet  metal  shop  and,  if  porcelain  enamel  is  required,  may 
also  be  fabricated,  as  well  as  enameled,  l)y  any  enameling 
concern. 

The  long  parallel  edges  of  each  decorative  metal  panel 
are  formed  over  a  simple  break  die  to  the  profile  neces- 
sary to  engage  the  Revecon  holding  section.  This  die  may 
be  used  in  any  sheet  metal  power  press. 

If  flat  sheet  decorative  metal  panels  are  used,  a  shear 
is  the  only  equipment  necessary  to  fabricate. 

Renovizing 

The  simplicity  and  ease  of  erection  of  the  Revecon 
System  is  such  that  the  holding  sections  may  be  attached 
to  any  existing  masonry  or  other  surface,  making  it  well 
adapted  to  the  covering  of  old  buildings. 

A  new  front  can  be  put  on  over  an  old  building  and 
have  a  total  additional  thickness  of  one  inch, jf  formed- 
edge  decorative  metal  panels  are  used,  and  additional 
thickness  where  flat  sheet  materials  only  are  used.  All 
work  can  be  done  from  the  exterior  without  damage  to 
the  interior  wall  surfaces  and  panels  may  be  individually 
removed  or  replaced,  if  necessary,  without  damaging  any 
surrounding  wall  panel. 

The  modernizing  of  existing  buildings  offers  one  of  the 
largest  fields  for  the  application  of  decorative  metals  and 
other  flat  sheet  materials. 


Expansion  and  Contraction 

The  use  of  metals  for  exterior  work  of  any  kind  has 
always  been  satisfactory  in  direct  ratio  to  the  allowance 
made  for  its  expansion  and  contraction. 


Elimination  of  this  difficulty  was  one  of  the  underlying 
objectives  of  Revecon  design.  Expansion  and  contraction 
take  place  entirely  within  each  panel  area. 


Metallic  Compound 

The  metallic  compound  in  which  the  panel  edges  are 
embedded  remains  plastic  under  all  conditions,  while  the 
sections  permanently  secure  the  panels  regardless  of 
changes  in  temperature. 


Insulation 

The  Revecon  system  does  not  limit  the  designer  in  his 
selection  of  type  of  insulation.  Any  thickness  used  in  cur- 
rent practice  may  be  employed.  Rigid  board,  spun  glass, 
rock  or  mineral  wool,  or  any  other  type  of  insulating  fill 
is  readily  accommodated. 

It  is  also  possible  where  insulation  is  not  required  to 
provide  interior  finishes  by  using  one  of  the  many  avail- 
able metals  or  other  flat  materials  that  have  finished  sur- 
faces on  both  sides. 


Salvage 

The  use  of  Revecon  System  allows  practically  a  total 
salvage  of  all  component  materials  for  dismantling  and  re- 
erection,  except  the  metallic  compound. 


Architectural  Cooperation 

This  company  does  not  undertake  architectural  design 
for  any  specific  project,  preferring  to  refer  any  interested 
inquirer  to  his  own  architect  for  such  services. 


Assistance  and  Information 

Revere  Copper  and  Brass  Incorporated  is  glad  at  all 
times  to  provide  additional  information  to  those  engaged 
in  planning,  designing  or  erecting  any  type  of  construc- 
tion in  which  the  use  of  any  Revere  building  material  or 
product  may  be  contemplated  or  specified. 


Literature 

We  will  gladly  send  on  request  a  handbook  describing 
the  Revecon  System.  This  contains  specifications  and  con- 
struction details.  It  is  arranged  so  the  architect  can  detail 
his  design  incorporating  any  of  the  many  flat  sheet  mate- 
rials he  may  elect,  such  as  metal,  glass,  tile,  asbestos-board, 
plastics,  etc.

OST  architects  who  have  contemplated  using  stainless  steel  in  the  past  have  heen  hampered 
hy  lack  of  accurate  hasic  information  which  would  enahle  them  to  select  and  specify  intel- 
ligently the  particular  type  of  stainless  best  suited  to  given  requirements.  In  compiling  the 
information  contained  herein  it  has  been  the  purpose  of  Republic  Steel  Corporation  to 
endeavor  to  remove  some  of  the  mystery  and  confusion  which  have  heretofore  surrounded 
the  general  subject  of  stainless  steel  for  architectural  uses  and  to  present  in  non-technical 
form— so  far  as  possible— such  data  as  will  permit  the  architect  to  differentiate  between  the 
various  types  of  stainless  steel  and  better  appreciate  the  unusual  characteristics  and  wide 
range  of  possible  applications  of  this  newest  of  metals. 

ARCHITECTURAL  SERVICE 

In  the  discussions  on  the  pages  which  follow  emphasis  has  been  laid  on  the  necessity  for  select- 
ing the  proper  type  of  steel  to  meet  the  particular  conditions  of  the  use  contemplated.  To  assist 
the  architect  in  specifying  that  type  which  will  most  satisfactorily  meet  his  requirements,  we 
offer  the  services  of  the  Metallurgical  Department  of  Alloy  Steel  Division,  Republic  Steel  Cor- 
poration, with  its  completely  equipped  modern  laboratories  where  authorities  are  continually 
studying  every  factor  connected  with  the  production  and  application  of  stainless  steels  and  where 
the  best  of  laboratory  equipment  and  specialized  advice  is  freely  available. 

In  connection  with  the  uses  of  stainless  steels  shown  and  described  herein  it  should  be  borne 
in  mind  that  Republic  Steel  Corporation  does  not  sell  or  furnish  the  products  direct.  The 
Corporation  produces  only  the  unfinished  material  which  is  fabricated  by  others.  Any  of 
the  district  sales  offices  listed  on  the  back  cover  will  be  glad  to  cooperate  with  tlie  architect 
and  suggest  fabricators  who  are  experienced  and  qualified  to  handle  the  work.  They  will  also 
advise  the  architect  on  questions  of  specifying,  detailing  and  installation. 

For  such  advice  or  assistance  please  call  the  Sales  Office  or  the  distributor  nearest  you  or  write 
to  the  Alloy  Steel  Division  of  the  Corporation  at  Massillon,  Ohio.  Samples  (3x5  in.)  of  various

ENDURO  STAINLESS  STEEL 


"Enduro"  is  the  trade  name  identifying  the  group  of 
stainless  steels  perfected  hy  Republic  Steel  Corporation 
at  its  Alloy  Steel  Division,  Massillon,  Ohio.  These 
alloys  are  silvery-white  in  appearance  and  cannot  chip, 
crack  or  wear  thin  as  they  are  the  same  metal  all  the 
way  through.  They  do  not  tarnish,  corrode  or  become 
dull  when  properly  applied.  They  can  be  worked  and 
fabricated  for  any  purpose.  They  can  be  given  a  num- 
ber of  different  finishes  or  combinations,  or  may  be 
etched  and  enameled  to  produce  unusually  l)eautiful 
effects.  They  may  be  combined  with  colored  porcelain 
enamel  (or  with  other  metals)  to  produce  a  wide  variety 
of  pleasing  effects.  In  brief,  the  unusual  properties  of 
Enduro  Stainless  Steels  indicate  their  use  not  only  for 
the  finest  of  decorative  effects  but  also  for  every  appli- 
cation subject  to  possible  corrosion. 

Probably  few  persons  not  directly  connected  with 
the  industry  appreciate  the  wide  range  of  uses  now 
being  made  of  stainless  steel.  A  list  of  these  would 
be  a  roll  call  of  almost  every  manufacturing  process 
in  the  United  States.  From  cooking  utensils  to  auto- 
mobile parts,  from  golf  clubs  to  bank  vaults,  stain- 
less steel  is  finding  new  applications  every  day.  In 
the  engineering,  chemical,  power  and  oil  refining  fields, 
the  corrosion-  and  abrasion-resistance  and  strength  of 
stainless  steel  at  high  temperatures  are  essential. 

Although  chromium,  the  element,  was  discovered  in 
  and  the  acid-resisting  properties  of  chromium- 
iron  alloy  appreciated  as  early  as  ,  it  was  not 
until  within  the  past  twenty  years  that  commercial  ap- 
plication has  been  made  of  such  alloys. 
Since    himdreds  of  patents  have 
been  granted  both  in  this  country  and 
abroad  for  various  stainless  alloys. 

Naturally  this  flood  of  patents  has 
led  to  considerable  confusion,  partic- 
ularly among  laymen,  as  it  seems  that 
nearly  every  steel  manufacturer  has 
entered  the  stainless  field  making  this 
or  that  analysis.  Rash  claims  have 
been  made  regarding  the  performance 
of  these  alloys  and  far  too  often  the 
application  has  been  made  to  suit 
the  alloy  on  hand  rather  than  apply- 
ing a  specific  alloy  which  would  give 
the  desired  results. 

While  different  trade  designations 
are  still  used  by  various  manufactur- 
ers, standard  type  numbers  have  been 
assigned  to  all  stainless  steel  analyses. 
This  has  been  done  under  the  super- 
vision of  the  American  Iron  and  Steel 
Institute. 


Types  of  Stainless  Steels 

Technically  there  is  a  distinction  between  stainless 
iron  and  stainless  steel,  although  latter  term  is  popular- 
ly, if  erroneously,  used  to  designate  all  stainless  alloys. 

Stainless  Iron  generally  is  an  alloy  of  iron  and  chro- 
mium, or  of  iron,  chromium  and  nickel,  with  a  very  low 
carbon  content.  The  stainless  properties  of  the  alloy 
are  due  to  the  ability  of  chromium  to  form  with  iron 
a  solid  solution  which  is  resistant  to  the  various  corro- 
sive media.  It  is  essential  that  sufficient  chromium  be 
present  in  solid  solution  to  ensure  stainless  properties. 
The  chromium  content  of  Enduro  Stainless  Irons  has 
been  adjusted  accordingly. 

Stainless  irons,  or  stainless  steels  as  they  are  popu- 
larly known,  as  a  class  do  not  respond  to  hardening  by 
heat  treatment.  Neither  do  they  require  special  heat 
treatment  other  than  that  received  at  the  mill  to  de- 
velop stainless  properties.  Stainless  steel  lends  itself  to 
deep  drawing  and  other  forming  operations. 

To  meet  the  demand  for  corrosion-resisting  alloys 
suitable  for  a  wide  variety  of  specific  purposes,  Enduro 
Stainless  Steel  has  been  developed  in  a  number  of  types. 
In  this  development,  all  factors  affecting  corrosion- 
resistance  have  l)een  considered  and  their  relative  im- 
portance established.  The  result  is  a  series  of  alloys 
possessing  maximum  corrosion-resistance  and  physical 
properties,  consistent  with  ease  of  workability,  for  each 
field  of  application.  Two  of  these  steels  were  especially 
developed  for  architectural  uses  and  are  described  in 
detail  on  the  pages  which  follow.

ENDURO  STAINLESS  STEEL 
FOR  ARCHITECTURAL  USES 


To  attempt  to  list  all  the  hundreds  of  possible  archi- 
tectural applications  of  Enduro  Stainless  Steel  would 
be  merely  to  catalogue  the  uses  for  any  metal  in  any 
building  for  there  is  almost  no  place  in  which  the  usual 
metals  are  used  where  Enduro  will  not  prove  highly 
satisfactory.  Not  only  does  the  beautiful,  silvery-white 
lustre  open  for  the  designer  an  entirely  new  field  of 
decorative  possibilities  because  there  is  no  coating  to 
wear  off,  but  the  corrosion-resisting  qualities  indicate  its 
use  wherever  there  is  liable  to  be  danger  of  atmospheric 
attack.  For  example,  Enduro  has  been  used  for  decora- 
tive effects  in  some  of  the  country's  finest  buildings  and 
yet  its  qualities  make  it  equally  suitable  for  such  prac- 
tical purposes  as  boiler  and  heater  smoke  pipes  where 
it  has  a  life  many  times  that  of  ordinary  pipe  with  the 
consequent  economy  and  freedom  from  trouble. 

Of  the  many  different  types  of  alloys,  two  are  of  spe- 
cial interest  to  the  architect  because  they  are  particu-

larly  suitable  for  architectural  applications.  These  are 
Enduro  18-8  and  Enduro  AA.  The  former  (Enduro 
18-8)  meets  every  architectural  requirement  and  is  gen- 
erally used  for  such  purposes.  The  latter  (Enduro  AA) 
is  less  expensive  than  Enduro  18-8  and  is  used  to  some 
extent  for  interior  work.   These  two  are  the  most  sim- 


ple to  process  of  all  the  types  and  are  used  for  appli- 
cations requiring  decided  bends  or  draws  or  welds  and 
for  straight  flat  work. 

It  is  realized  that  some  architects  may  not  be  familiar 
with  the  many  applications  of  Enduro  now  being  made 
in  the  architectural  field  and  the  list  below  is  included

ENDURO  18-8 


Enduro  18-8  contains  approximately  18  per  cent  of 
chromium  and  8  per  cent  of  nickel  with  carbon  from 
.08-.20  per  cent.  The  addition  of  nickel — a  metal  pos- 
sessing in  itself  considerable  corrosion-resistance — to 
the  stainless  analysis  greatly  increases  the  corrosion- 
resistance  of  the  alloy,  extending  this  resistance  to  a 
number  of  materials  which  attack  stainless  chromium 
iron,  to  the  point  of  complete  immunity  from  attack. 
The  addition  of  nickel  also  increases  resistance  to  scal- 
ing at  high  temperatures,  reduces  grain  growth,  and  at 


the  same  time  lessens  embrittlement  after  long  service 
at  high  temperatures.  Metallurgically,  the  effect  of  the 
nickel  is  to  produce  an  alloy  of  the  stable  austenitic 
type;  characterized  by  extraordinary  toughness  and 
ductility,  no  capacity  for  hardening  under  heat  treat- 
ment, high  resistance  to  impact,  and  the  property  of 
being  non-magnetic.  To  take  full  advantage  of  the 
addition  of  nickel,  certain  processing  is  necessary  and 
this  forms  an  important  part  of  the  Enduro  production 
method.

tion in  2  in.,  can  be  obtained.  It  will  stand  a  180°  bend  across  the  grain  of 
the  metal  and  120°  to  180°  with  the  grain. 


Fabricating  Enduro  18-8 


Ihe  proper  fabrication  of  any  metal  is  a  most  impor- 
tant part  of  a  successful  installation  and  for  this  reason 
the  data  below  are  presented  for  the  information  of  the 
architect  who  may  be  unfamiliar  with  the  best  methods 
of  working  and  forming  Enduro  18-8.  Enduro  18-8  is 
one  of  the  finer  metals  and  should  be  handled  similarly 
to  other  high  grade  materials  rather  than  attempt  to 
fabricate  by  employing  methods  generally  used  on 
common  iron  or  steel  products. 


ing,  welds  remain  tough  and  ductile  and  do  not  develop  the 
coarse,  "weak"  crystalline  structure  characteristic  of  the  straight 
chromium  iron  alloys. 

For  acetylene  welding,  uncoated  welding  rods  should  be  used. 
With  plates  and  other  heavy  materials,  chamfer  the  edges  to  be 
welded  and  place  these  a  small  distance  apart.  Build  up  a  bead 
between  these  edges,  keeping  the  flame  pointed  in  the  direction 


Deep  Drawing,  Punching  and  Shearing 

Enduro  18-8  is  well  suited  for  performing  these  operations.  Its 
extremely  high  elongation  and  low  yield  point  are  indicative  of 
what  may  be  expected  of  this  alloy  as  compared  to  regular  deep 
drawing  steel.  It  should,  however,  be  pointed  out  that  Enduro 
18-8  work  hardens  very  rapidly  and  to  a  much  higher  degree  than 
does  regular  drawing  steel.  For  this  reason  it  is  necessary  to 
perform  as  much  work  as  possible  in  a  single  drawing  operation 
and  to  reanneal  between  operations.  The  blanks  used  should  be 
of  sufficient  size  not  to  require  excessive  ironing  out  in  the  dies  to 
secure  cup  depth,  as  the  work  hardening  characteristics  of  the 
alloy  may  cause  high  breakage  loss  as  well  as  excessive  wear  on 
the  dies.  The  use  of  a  special  lubricant  of  suitable  consistency 
and  body  is  quite  important.  A  number  of  suitable  drawing 
compounds  is  available  from  chemical  supply  concerns.  Opera- 
tion of  the  press  should  be  as  slow  as  possible.  Die  clearance 
should  be  about  twice  that  used  for  steel  or  brass. 

The  work  hardening  characteristics  and  high  tensile  strength  of 
Enduro  18-8  make  it  necessary  to  use  more  power  in  performing 
drawing  operations  than  is  required  in  forming  and  drawing  steel 
of  a  similar  gauge.  A  very  close  adjustment  of  shear  blades  and 
of  clearance  between  punches  and  dies  is  recommended  for 
punching  and  shearing  operations.  The  power  required  will  be 
greater  for  the  reason  previously  given  and  it  will  be  necessary  to 
shear  through  the  entire  thickness  of  metal  rather  than  permit  it 
to  snap  off  after  a  portion  of  the  cross-section  has  been  cut 
through,  as  occurs  in  punching  most  materials. 

Riveting 

Enduro  18-8  is  ideal  material  for  rivets.  As  it  does  not  harden 
on  rapid  cooling,  nor  develop  coarse  crystalline  structure  on  heat- 
ing, the  more  accurate  temperature  control  required  for  straight 
chromium  iron  rivets  is  not  necessary.  Rivets  when  driven  hot 
should  be  heated  within  a  temperature  range  of  -°  F. 
Smaller  size  rivets  may  be  driven  cold,  as  they  remain  tough  and 
thoroughly  dependable.  Hot  driving  is  recommended  for  rivets 
over  -fk  in.  in  diameter. 

Welding 

Enduro  18-8  may  be  welded  by  either  the  acetylene  torch  or 
electric  arc,  using  specially  prepared  Enduro  18-8  welding  rods  or 
electrodes.  It  may  also  be  spot  and  resistance  welded,  but  can- 
not be  forge  or  hammer  welded.  Seam  welding  of  light  gauge 
sheets  is  readily  accomplished.    Having  no  capacity  for  harden- 


Some  Standard  Shapes  of  Enduro  Stainless  Steel  Mouldings 


of  welding  so  as  to  preheat  the  work.  Use  a  slightly  reducing 
flame,  and  see  that  it  is  no  larger  than  necessary  for  the  work 
to  be  done.  For  electric  arc  welding,  specially  coated  rods  or 
electrodes  must  be  used.  Reverse  polarity  (electrode  must  be 
positive  and  work  the  negative  pole)  and  regulate  the  machine  to 
give  the  same  or  lower  voltage  than  would  be  used  with  plain 
steel  rods,  and  with  sufficient  current  to  give  good  fusion.  Defi- 
nite instructions  cannot  be  given  as  much  will  depend  upon  the 
character  of  the  work  and  the  type  of  machine  used.  (See  Enduro 
Welding  Booklet  for  further  information.) 

While  welds  made  with  Enduro  18-8  are  naturally  tough  and 
ductile,  the  annealing  treatment  previously  mentioned  is  strongly 
recommended  if  the  welded  material  is  to  withstand  severe 
corrosive  attack.  This  treatment  will  tend  to  remove  the  differ- 
ence in  structure  between  the  weld  and  the  adjacent  metal, 
which  is  the  primary  cause  of  local  attack  in  welded  structures. 
Where  acid  corrosion  may  be  encountered  and  annealing  of  the 
weld  is  not  possible,  Enduro  18-8-S  should  be  used. 

Soldering 

Enduro  18-8  may  be  soldered  without  difficulty,  producing  firm, 
strong  joints.  For  pickled  finish  sheets,  the  ordinary  muriatic 
acid,  cut  with  zinc,  may  be  used.  However,  better  results  will  be 
obtained  with  special  commercial  fluxes,  used  with  ordinary 
solder,  and  by  pursuing  the  same  procedure  as  with  copper,  tin, 
terne,  etc.  For  polished  sheets,  the  surfaces  to  be  joined  should 
be  roughened  with  a  coarse  emery  wheel  before  tinning.

The  metal  comprising  the  joints  should  he  properly 
tinned  hefore  assemhly.  The  half  tin,  half  lead  type 
of  solder  may  he  used  hut  solder  with  higher  tin  con- 
tent such  as  75%  tin— 25%  lead  is  recommended  be- 
cause it  does  not  discolor  as  rapidly  under  atmospheric 
exposure.  On  account  of  the  low  thermal  conductivity, 
use  a  large  soldering  iron  which  will  have  sufficient 
heat  capacity  to  heat  the  metal  thoroughly.  Imme- 
diately after  soldering,  all  traces  of  acid  must  be  thor- 
oughly removed  by  washing  with  soap  and  water  to 
which  has  been  added  some  washing  soda,  as  the  acid 
attacks  the  metal  readily  and  will  stain  if  not  removed. 
Soldering  should  not  be  depended  upon  for  strength 
but  simply  to  seal  the  joint.  Riveting,  lock  seaming 
or  spot  welding  should  be  used  for  strength.  Rivets 
should  he  tinned  to  insure  adhesion  of  the  solder 
before  driving  which,  of  course,  is  done  cold. 

Brazing  and  Silver  Soldering 

We  recommend  welding  rather  than  brazing  when- 
ever possible  due  to  the  excellent  welding  properties 
of  18-8  and  to  the  possibility  of  intercrystalline  pene- 
tration of  the  brazing  alloy.  This  lowers  corrosion- 
resistance  and  causes  embrittlement  of  the  joint  under 
wet  corrosive  conditions  by  favoring  electrolytic  ac- 
tion. Brazing  must  be  carefully  done  to  prevent  the 
penetration  of  brazing  alloy  into  the  grain  boundaries 
of  the  metal. 

For  brazing  and  silver  soldering  proceed  in  the 
usual  manner,  observing  the  precaution  of  having  the 
metal  just  sufficiently  hot  for  good  adhesion.  Special 
stainless  steel  brazing  flux  should  be  used. 

A  satisfactory  flux  for  brazing  or  silver  soldering  may  be  made 
by  mixing  one  part  of  borax  with  two  parts  of  sodium  or  potas- 
sium bi-fluoride.  Use  either  dry  or  in  a  water  or  alcohol  paste, 
applying  a  small  quantity  to  the  parts  to  be  joined  before  heating. 
Then  proceed  with  ordinary  brazing  material  or  silver  solders. 

Machining,  Sawing  and  Drilling 

Being  an  austenitic  alloy,  Enduro  18-8  is  tough  and  somewhat 
difficult  to  machine.  In  order  to  overcome  the  machining  dif- 
ficulties heretofore  confronted.  Republic  has  produced  a  free 
machining  18-8  alloy  which  is  termed  ENDURO  18-8-FM.  This 
free  machining  alloy,  as  its  name  suggests,  simplifies  to  a  great 
extent  turning,  milling,  boring  and  drilling  operations.  Its  cor- 
rosion-resisting properties  are  comparable  to  those  of  the  regular 
ENDURO  18-8.  Best  results  are  obtained  with  slow  cutting 
speeds  and  moderately  heavy  cuts.  Tools  must  be  ground  and 
kept  sharp,  and  with  a  steep  side  and  lip  rake  (at  least  15  de- 
grees). In  threading,  arrange  so  that  four  or  five  teeth  engage, 
instead  of  the  usual  two  or  three. 

Drilling  should  be  done  with  a  high  speed  steel  drill.  Best 
results  are  obtained  when  the  drill  is  ground  somewhat  flatter 
than  is  customary.  The  drill  should  cut  all  the  time,  and  in  lay- 
ing out  work  as  small  a  mark  as  possible  is  advisable,  as  the 
punch  will  work  harden  the  alloy  and  make  it  difficult  to  start 
the  drill.  The  speed  of  the  drill  should  be  about  one  half  that 
used  in  the  case  of  mild  steel.  When  drilling  deep  holes  or 
hollow  boring,  a  compound  of  high  sulphur  base  oil  with  the 
addition  of  turpentine  will  prove  of  value. 

In  sawing,  a  high  speed  steel  blade  should  be  used  of  the  fine 
tooth,  wavy  type.  When  possible  a  circular  type  saw  should  be 
used. 

When  drilling  and  sawing  use  constant  pressure.  Permitting 
the  saw  or  drill  to  ride  the  surface  causes  work  hardening. 

Protecting  the  Surface  of  Polished  Enduro  During  Form- 
ing— Drawing — Moulding — Construction  and  Erection 

Many  applications  of  Enduro  permit  the  use  of  mill  polished 
sheets  such  as  No.  4  finish.  No.  6  Tampico  finish.  No.  7  finish 
and  No.  8  mirror  finish.  A  few  of  these  applications  are — soda 
fountain  and  bar  equipment,  dairy  equipment,  meat  packing 
equipment,  hospital  and  kitchen  equipment,  restaurant  and  cafe- 
teria equipment  and  for  structural  and  decorative  purposes  such 
as  used  on  the  Empire  State  and  Chrysler  Buildings,  and  many 
others. 

In  nearly  every  instance,  sheets  for  the  type  of  work  men- 
tioned above  are  polished  in  our  Special  Products  Division, 
where  great  care  is  taken  to  obtain  the  desired  finish — free  from 
pits,  scratches  and  other  marks.

In  the  ultimate  use  of  these  polished  sheets  there  are,  of 
course,  some  cases  where  no  fabrication  is  done  on  the  material, 
and  it  is  used  in  the  flat.  Only  careful  handling  is  then  required 
to  preserve  the  lustrous  finish.  It  will  be  found,  however,  that 
in  most  cases  subsequent  operations  will  be  performed  on  brakes 
or  presses.  Under  these  conditions  it  is  essential  that  precautions 
be  taken  to  eliminate  marks,  scratches  and  dents.  It  has  been 
found  that  it  simplifies  the  problem  greatly  to  prevent  marring 
the  sheet  at  the  start  rather  than  to  polish  out  the  marks 
that  have  appeared  through  improper  protection  in  the  dies.  It 
is  quite  difficult  to  match  by  hand,  on  a  formed  object,  the  finish 
that  has  been  put  on  the  sheet  at  the  mill  with  our  polishing 
machines. 

While  we  do  not  maintain  that  it  is  possible  entirely  to  prevent 
scratching  and  galling  on  all  types  of  work,  we  feel  that  every- 
thing possible  should  be  done  to  minimize  the  possibility  of 
their  formation. 

Preventing  Injury  During  Fabrication — Is  accomplished  by 
proper  lubrication.  Several  methods  are  being  used  which  will 
be  noted  here,  and  the  fabricator  should  use  the  one  best  adapted 
to  his  particular  operations. 

The  first  consideration  should  be  given  to  the  condition  of 
the  dies.  They  should  be  well  polished  and  at  the  first  sign  of 
any  pickup  of  the  metal,  the  press  or  brake  should  be  stopped 
and  the  dies  stoned  and  polished. 

One  of  the  most  effective  lubricants  for  use  on  Enduro  is  a 
mixture  of  Litliopone  and  linseed  oil.  It  should  be  applied 
generously.  Lithopone  is  obtainable  from  Grasselli  Chemical  Co. 
and  the  New  Jersey  Zinc  Co.,  in  powder  form,  and  should  be 
mixed  with  linseed  oil  to  form  a  liquid  of  fairly  heavy  consist- 
ency. Benzine  may  be  used  as  a  thinner,  and  sometimes  paraffin 
oil  is  substituted  for  linseed  oil,  although  in  our  opinion  linseed 
oil  is  preferable.  We  advise  the  use  of  Lithopone  when  the 
forming  is  severe,  and  where  special  care  is  necessary. 

Lithopone  may  be  removed  from  the  sheet  after  forming  by 
the  use  of  benzine  or  kerosene. 

There  are  now  available  on  the  market,  special  stainless  steel 
lubricants  using  Lithopone  as  a  base. 

Another  method  which  preserves  the  polished  finish  of  the 
metal  is  the  application  of  adhesive  tape  to  the  dies.  This  method 
can  be  used  wliere  the  work  applied  to  the  metal  is  not  severe, 
such  as  in  bends  on  brakes.  We  do  not  recommend  its  use  for 
deep  drawing.  The  merit  of  this  type  of  protection  can  easily 
be  realized,  as  it  prevents  direct  contact  between  the  polished 
surface  of  the  Enduro  sheet  and  the  hardened  steel  of  the 
tlies. 

Following  this  same  line  of  thought,  the  use  of  thin  paper  be- 
tween the  polished  metal  and  the  die  has  worked  well  in  several 
cases.    Wax  paper,  oiled  paper,  and  cellophane  have  been  used

Protection  of  Polished  Enduro  During  Building  Con- 
struction— The  wide  use  of  polished  Enduro  for  exterior  deco- 
rative purposes  in  building  construction  has  made  necessary  the 


means  of  protecting  it  from  what  we  will  call  "build- 
ing filth,"  meaning  plaster,  cement,  concrete,  ashes, 
rust  from  steel  work  and  other  contaminations  with 
which  the  polished  sheet  may  come  in  contact  dur- 
ing the  erection  of  a  building. 

Several  of  the  large  paint  concerns  have  developed 
special  lacquers  which  will  protect  the  sheet  for  a 
period  of  one  year  or  longer  from  the  effects  of 
"building  filth."  The  lacquer  can  be  removed  at  the 
completion  of  the  building,  or  it  may  be  allowed  to 
wear  off  from  the  effects  of  the  weather.  The  lacquers 
we  approve  will  not  whiten  through  exposure  to 
weather. 

The  method  used  on  the  Richman  Bros.  Building, 
recently  completed  in  Detroit,  was  the  pasting  of 
Manila  paper  over  the  entire  exposed  surface  of  the 
formed  sheet.  Following  the  completion  of  the  build- 
ing, the  paper  was  removed  with  water — and  the  sur- 
face of  the  metal  found  to  be  in  perfect  condition. 

Passivation 

The  passivation  treatment  consists  of  immersing  the 
material  in  a  25%  by  volume  solution  of  nitric  acid 
and  water  at  a  temperature  of  120-125°  F.  for  15-20 
minutes.  The  purpose  of  the  passivation  treatment  is 
to  remove  any  trace  of  iron  or  steel  which  has  become 
abraded  on  the  stainless  steel  due  either  to  shearing 
or  contact  with  dies  in  forming  operations.  The  nitric 
acid  bath  will  remove  this  film  of  iron  without  affect- 
ing the  surface  of  the  polished  stainless  steel. 

The  tank  for  holding  the  nitric  acid  solution  can 
be  made  from  wood,  stainless  steel,  earthenware  or 
rubber.

ments which  may  be  applied  to  Enduro  Stainless  Steels  are

ENDURO  AA 


Enduro  AA  is  a  straight  chromium  alloy.  It  is  a  fairly  ductile, 
non-hardening  alloy  with  physical  properties  equal  to  a  high 
grade  medium  carbon  steel,  with  resistance  to  general  corrosion 
and  oxidation  at  high  temperatures. 

It  is  recommended  only  for  interior  applications  as  its  resist- 
ance to  corrosion  is  not  equal  to  18-8. 

Fabrication  in  general  is  similar  to  18-8  except  it  does  not 
possess  the  same  degree  of  ductility  or  welding  properties,  and 
does  not  work  harden  to  any  great  extent. 

All  welded  joints  in  straight  chromium  alloys  (without  the 
addition  of  nickel)  have  a  tendency  to  embrittlement  at  and 
adjacent  to  the  weld,  due  to  the  high  temperatures  required  for 
welding,  which  causes  excessive  grain  growth.

REPUBLIC    STEEL    CORPORATION  • 

FINISHES  OF  ENDURO  STEEL 


Of  primary  importance  to  the  architect  in  designing  with 
Enduro  Stainless  Steel  are  the  many  different  finishes  in  which 
this  unusual  metal  may  be  obtained.  Unlike  plated  materials 
Enduro  is  the  same  beautiful  color  throughout  and  has  no  coating 
to  wear  off.  As  it  is  proof  against  tarnishing  and  corrosive 
attacks,  it  can  be  used  with  every  assurance  that  the  original 
effect  will  be  retained  during  the  entire  life  of  the  building. 

The  various  sheet  finishes  are  designated  as  follows: 

No.  1  Hot  rolled  annealed  and  pickled 

No.  2-B  Full  Finish  (Bright  cold  rolled) 

No.  2.D  Full  Finish  (Dull  cold  rolled) 

No.  4  Standard  Polish  on  one  side  or  both  sides 

No.  6  Standard  Polish  Tampico  Brushed  on  one  or  both  sides 

No.  7  High  Lustre  Polish  on  one  or  both  sides 

No.  8  Mirror  Finish  on  one  or  both  sides 

Although  the  architect  will  probably  select  the  finish  to  pro- 
duce the  special  effect  desired,  certain  restrictions  should  be 
borne  in  mind  and  the  advice  of  Republic  Steel  Corporation 
representatives  or  distributors  secured  on  any  problems  not  cov- 
ered here.  For  example,  the  finish  possible  on  the  stock  will 
depend  to  a  considerable  extent  on  the  amount  of  forming  neces- 
sary. It  is  inadvisable  to  use  polished  sheets  for  extra  deep 
drawing  operations  where  score  marks  from  dies  are  likely  to 
occur  in  forming  or  where  it  is  necessary  to  reanneal  to  make  a 
second  drawing  operation.  Our  No.  1  Finish  should  be  used  un- 
der these  conditions. 

Numerous  other  applications  of  the  No.  1  Finish  may  be  made 
at  points  where  appearance  is  not  a  primary  factor  but  where 
corrosion-resistance  is  important,  such  as  mail  chutes,  tanks,  tub- 
ing and  a  variety  of  other  uses. 

No.  2B  Finish  and  No.  2D  Finish  are  the  same  as  No.  1  except 
that  they  have  a  slightly  higher  finish  due  to  cold  roll  processing. 

Polished  finish  should  be  used  only  where  stock  will  be  em- 
ployed without  further  working,  where  the  degree  of  working  is 
small  or  where  finish  can  be  protected  so  that  excessive  refinish- 
ing  is  unnecessary. 

No.  4  Finish  being  ground  and  polished  is  very  satisfactory  for 
interior  application.  It  possesses  a  ground  surface  appearance 
with  a  medium  lustre  and  is  considered  the  best  commercial  type 
of  finish  for  such  applications  as  bank  vaults,  restaurant  and 


soda  fountain  equipment,  sterilizers,  laundry  machinery,  packing 
house  refrigerators  and  equipment,  cold  storage,  canning  and  pre- 
serving equipment,  trim  for  cabinets  and  numerous  other  places 
where  a  fairly  high  lustre  and  ease  of  cleaning  are  desired. 

No.  6  Tampico  Brushed  Finish  has  found  more  favor  for  ex- 
terior application  than  No.  4  Finish.  No.  6  Finish  has  a  silvery 
lustre  and  does  not  have  as  high  a  reflectivity.  It  can  often  be 
used  to  blend  in  conjunction  with  finishes  of  higher  lustre  or 
other  metals.  Higher  lustre  finishes  such  as  No.  7,  are  obtainable 
and  are  similar  to  No.  4  with  the  exception  that  the  lustre  ob- 
tained by  buffing  is  much  brighter. 

No.  8  Finish  is  the  highest  obtainable  in  commercial  steel 
practice.  All  of  the  grinding  lines  are  removed  and  a  sheet  of 
high  reflectivity  is  obtained.  This  finish  is  used  for  mirrors  and 
for  trim  where  highest  lustre  is  required. 

It  may  be  interesting  to  review  the  processing  procedure  ap- 
plied to  the  Enduro  sheets  used  on  the  Chrysler  and  Empire  State 
Buildings  and  more  recently  on  the  Richman  Bros.  Building, 
Detroit,  and  the  Insurance  Company  of  North  America  Building, 
New  York,  as  these  may  be  considered  typical  of  such  architec- 
tural applications.  The  sheets,  which  were  of  Enduro  18-8,  after 
being  hot  rolled,  annealed  and  pickled,  were  rough  ground  with 
No.  80  grit  used  dry,  followed  by  successive  grease  wheels  of 
100-120,  etc.,  until  the  finish  desired  was  obtained.  The  Chrysler 
sheets  received  a  relatively  high  finish  followed  by  buffing  and 
passivation  (in  nitric  acid). 

The  Empire  State  Building,  Richman  Bros.  Building,  and  the 
Insurance  Company  of  North  America  Building  sheets  had  a 
medium  finish,  followed  by  a  special  wheel  to  dull  the  lustre, 
giving  a  No.  6  Tampico  finish.  These  sheets  likewise  were  given 
the  passivation  treatment;  then  after  being  formed  into  panels  at 
the  fabricators'  plants,  they  were  again  passivated,  following  the 
removal  of  the  drawing  compound  by  the  use  of  gasoline  and 
whiting.  In  the  foregoing  descriptions  it  has  been  impossible  to 
give  more  than  a  general  idea  of  the  appearance  of  each  and  the 
differences  between  the  various  effects  possible.  It  has  also  been 
found  impossible  to  show  these  finishes  by  half-tone  engravings. 
For  these  reasons  we  suggest  that  the  architect  secure  samples 
of  the  various  finishes  from  Republic  Sales  Offices  or  Enduro 
Distributors  before  making  a  definite  selection.

STORE  FRONTS  OF  ENDURO 


In  the  present  trend  toward  mod- 
ernism in  store  front  design  usually 
involving  the  use  of  gleaming  white 
metals,  Enduro  fits  perfectly.  All 
store  front  manufacturers  in  Sweet's 
Catalog  File  are  familiar  with  the 
fabrication  of  Enduro  and  are  able 
to  advise  architects  on  the  use  of 
Enduro  and  to  fabricate  it  to  the 
architect's  design. 

On  the  preceding  pages  have  been 
outlined  the  many  characteristics  and 
properties  of  Enduro  Stainless  Steel 
which  make  it  particularly  suitable 
for  architectural  purposes.  Attractive 
appearance,  complete  resistance  to 
corrosion  and  tarnishing,  and  a  wide 
variety  of  finishes  make  Enduro 
the  ideal  material  for  the  finest 
of  decorative  effects  as  well  as  for 
every  purpose  subject  to  possible 
corrosion. 

Because  of  these  qualities  it  is  nat- 
ural that  Enduro  has  come  to  occupy  a  most  important 
place  in  modern  store  front  construction.  In  designing 
a  store  front  the  architect  plans  for  a  very  definite 
effect.  To  accomplish  this  he  must  use  materials  which 
will  be  striking  in  appearance,  which  will  contribute 
to  the  attention  getting  character  of  the  complete  de- 
sign and  yet  which  will  not  detract  from  the  principal

purpose  of  any  window,  namely,  the  sales-influencing 
display  of  goods. 

Of  utmost  importance  to  the  designer  as  well  as  to 
the  store  owner  is  the  matter  of  upkeep  or  cleaning. 
No  architect  wishes  to  develop  a  carefully  studied  de- 
sign and  then  find  that,  in  a  short  time,  the  entire  effect 
is  ruined  by  uncared  for,  unpolished  metals,  dirty  glass, 
or  rusty  trim.  On  the  other  hand  the 
owner  does  not  wish  to  feel  that  his 
store  front  is  a  continual  source  of 
upkeep  expense.  It  is  essential,  there- 
fore, that  the  architect  select  a  metal 
which  will  retain  its  original  beauty 
as  long  as  it  is  in  place  and  one 
which  will  require  only  a  minimum 
of  cleaning.  Enduro  will  withstand 
the  corrosive  action  of  acids  and 
smoke  and  rain  water.  Washing  down 
the  window  glass,  with  its  accumu- 
lated dust,  cannot  stain  the  gleam- 
ing surface  of  Enduro  Stainless 
Steel. 

In  selecting  Enduro  the  architect 
will  find  it  a  decided  advantage  to 
be  able  to  use  the  same  metal  for 
glass  settings,  awning  bars,  lettering, 
display  signs,  ornamental  trim  and  in 
fact  for  every  part  of  his  design.

EQUIPMENT 

On  one  of  the  preceding  pages  is  given  a  par- 
tial list  of  the  many  and  varied  uses  of  Enduro 
for  utilitarian  as  well  as  purely  decorative  pur- 
poses. Whether  the  conditions  called  for  a  ma- 
terial having  a  beautiful  appearance  or  one 
which  would  provide  maximum  resistance  to 
wear  and  corrosion  or  both,  Enduro  has  met 
every  demand  with  complete  satisfaction.  Only 
a  few  of  these  uses  are  shown  in  this  catalog 
but  Republic  Steel  Corporation  will  welcome 
inquiries  regarding  any  specific  installations 
under  consideration.

Enduro  has  always  found  one  of  its  most  appropriate  uses  in  con- 
nection with  food  service  equipment  and  it  was  natural  that,  with  the 
advent  of  Repeal,  Enduro  should  become  a  favorite  metal  for  bar  equip- 
ment. However,  the  architect's  attention  is  particularly  directed  to  the 
richly  decorative  possibilities  of  Enduro's  silvery  lustre  in  modern  design. 
A  few  typical  installations  are  shown  here  and  many  more  have  been 
made  during  the  past  year.  Not  only  does  Enduro  meet  every  require- 
ment of  the  designer  but,  for  all  bar  and  service  equipment  such  as 
sinks,  tanks,  drainboards,  counters  and  table  tops,  Enduro  assures  maxi-

and  installing  any  metal  work  will  l)e  found  to  he  per- 
fectly satisfactory.  However,  the  remarkahle  properties 
and  characteristics  of  Enduro  make  it  suital)le  for  use 
in  locations  heretofore  impossihle  with  metals  suhject

TONCAN  IRON 

THE  MODERN  FERROUS  ALLOY  FOR  RUST-RESISTANCE  AND  CORROSION-RESISTANCE 


As  originated  over  28  years  ago, 
Toncan  Iron  was  a  highly  refined  iron, 
unalloyed  with  other  elements  hut  con- 
taining a  minimum  of  rust-promoting 
impurities.  Suhsequent  changes  re- 
sulted from  continuous  research  and 
relentless  testing.  Copper,  in  proper 
proportion,  was  alloyed  with  iron  to 
form  a  new  iron-copper  alloy  which 
was  more  resistant  to  rust  than  the  original  iron.  Then 
followed  the  addition  of  molybdenum  which  produced 
an  iron-copper-molybdenum  alloy  with  a  resistance  to 
rust  never  before  attained.  Experience  has  demon- 
strated that  neither  copper  nor  molybdenum  alone  can 
contribute  its  full  individual  properties  to  the  iron —

IRON 


it  is  only  through  the  addition  of  both 
in  correct  proportions  that  these  can 
l)e  realized.  Such  is  Toncan  Iron  of 
today  ...  an  open  hearth  iron,  scien- 
tifically refined  to  reasonable  limits, 
in  which  not  less  than  .40%  copper 
and  .07%  molybdenum  are  uniformly 
dissolved  ...  an  alloy  with  a  proved 
superior  resistance  to  rust  among  the 
ferrous  metals  in  its  price  class.  Time  and  tests  have 
conclusively  proved  that  Toncan  Iron  brings  to  users 
of  sheets  (see  page  19),  plates  (see  page  20),  finished 
products  (see  page  20),  and  pipe  (see  File  Index), 
certain  standing  advantages  which  are  briefly  enumer- 
ated below. 


How  Toncan  Iron  Resists  Rust  and  Corrosion 


We  have  stated  that,  from  the  standpoint  of  resistance  to  rust 
and  corrosion,  Toncan  Iron  holds  first  place  as  a  commercial 
ferrous  sheet  and  pipe  material. 

Tests  in  the  laboratory  and  in  actual  service  unquestionably 
bear  out  this  statement. 

Duplicate  samples,  5x7  in.,  were  cut  adjacent  to  each  other 
from  galvanized  sheets  of  each  of  the  materials  tested — Toncan 


Iron,  Copper  Steel,  Pure  Iron  and  O.  H.  Steel  (Low  Copper). 

These  samples  were  placed  side  by  side,  insulated  from  each 
other,  on  a  test  fence  for  a  period  of  six  years.  The  results  are 
shown  below. 

Authoritative,  impartial  testing  associations,  both  in  this  coun- 
try and  abroad,  have  confirmed  the  results  of  his  exposure  test 
demonstrating  clearly  how  Toncan  Iron  resists  rust  and  corrosion.

Physical  Properties  of  Toncan  Iron 


The  analysis  and  the  chemical  and  structural  uniformity  of 
Toncan  Iron  assure  satisfactory  and  dependable  physical  proper- 
ties. Toncan  Iron  is  unique  in  that  it  combines  with  its  remarkable 
rust-  and  corrosion-resistance,  physical  properties  not  found  in  the 
best  grades  of  open  hearth  steel.  Many  of  these  properties  are 
due  to  the  alloy  addition  of  molybdenum.  This  element  entirely 
dissolves  without  loss  in  the  iron  and  thereby  has  a  positive  and 
beneficial  effect.  It  produces  a  grain  refinement  which  results  in 
an  improvement  in  strength  and  ductility,  as  well  as  greater  rust- 
resistance.  It  increases  the  ability  of  the  metal  to  withstand  shock. 
It  increases  the  susceptibility  of  the  metal  to  heat  treatment.  It 


increases  the  elastic  ratio,  that  is,  the  ratio  between  elastic  limit 
and  tensile  strength.  These  advantages  are  reflected  in  the  follow- 
ing figures,  showing  a  range  for  all  Toncan  Iron  Products,  arrived 
at  after  repeated  tests:  Tensile  strength,  45,000-58,000  lbs.  per  sq. 
in.  Elastic  limit,  30,000-40,000  lbs.  per  sq.  in.  Elongation  in  2  in.

Toncan  Iron  Is  Easy  to  Form 


Toncan  Iron  is  exceedingly  ductile  and 
can  be  formed  into  any  commodity  which 
is  ordinarily  made  of  sheet  steel  or  iron. 
It  is  much  softer  than  mild  steel  and,  be- 
cause of  its  workability,  it  can  be  deep 
drawn,  formed,  bent,  flanged,  stamped  or 
spun.  It  is  easy  to  cut  or  shear  and  re- 
quires less  power  and  less  labor  for  work- 
ing. Toncan  Iron  can  be  annealed  at  a 
temperature  of  °  to  °  F.,  to  re- 
lieve strains  caused  by  working  and  can 
be  normalized  at  a  temperature  of  ° 
F.,  followed  by  cooling  in  air  to  improve 
the  grain  structure  of  the  iron  after  work- 
ing. It  can  be  welded,  soldered,  brazed, 
riveted,  etc.,  and  may  be  protected  with  various  coatings 
or  galvanized,  galvannealed,  slierardized,  etc.  The  re- 


demonstrates 
rosive  attack 


markable  rust-resistance  of  Toncan  Iron 
extends  uniformly  throughout  the  entire 
thickness  of  the  metal — not  on  the  sur- 
face only — and  it  is  the  only  commer- 
cial ferrous  material  with  rust-resistance 
practically  unaffected  by  cold-working 
or  deformation.  Other  ferrous  sheet  ma- 
terials ordinarily  first  dissolve  and  rust 
most  rapidly  at  or  adjacent  to  parts 
which  have  been  cold-worked — such  as 
seams,  cut  ends,  bends  and  punched 
lioles.  The  samples  shown  at  the  left 
were  bent  cold  and,  for  four  weeks,  were 
immersed  in  a  20%  solution  of  sulphuric 
acid  at  room  temperature.  The  result 
the  ability  of  Toncan  Iron  to  resist  cor- 
ajter  fabrication  as  well  as  before. 


Remarkable  Welding  Properties  of  Toncan  Iron 


The  excellent  welding  properties  and  smooth-flowing 
behavior  of  Toncan  Iron  are  valuable  in  that  they 
make  Toncan  Iron  the  ideal  metal  for  work  where 
all  joints  are  to  be  welded.  Toncan  Iron  lends  itself 
equally  well  to  welding  by  either  the  electric  arc  or 
gas  process.  In  gas  welding,  a  slight  reducing  flame 
should  be  maintained  in  order  to  reduce  oxidation  to 
a  minimum.  In  electric  arc  welding,  the  use  of  coated 
Toncan  Iron  Welding  Rod  is  recommended.  In  gas 
welding,  the  deposited  metal  is  practically  as  resistant 


to  corrosion  as  the  metal  itself.  This  is  due  to  the  fact 
that  there  is  no  change  in  the  alloy  during  the  welding 
operation,  for  the  copper  and  molybdenum  remain 
unaffected  in  their  relation  to  the  iron  with  which 
they  are  alloyed.  Practically  the  same  results  can  be 
obtained  by  the  electric  arc  method,  but  the  use  of 
Toncan  Iron  electrodes  is  recommended.  The  use  of 
Toncan  Iron  Welding  Wire  insures  a  completed  job 
of  uniformly  high  resistance  to  rust  and  corrosion 
throughout.

The  Advantages  of  Toncan  Iron 


(1)  It  resists,  to  a  higher  degree  than  any  other  ferrous 
material  in  its  price  class,  the  attacks  of  natural  forces  which 
cause  corrosion. 

(2)  Its  high  resistance  to  rust  and  corrosion  is  not  confined 
to  the  surface  or  skin  of  the  metal.  Toncan  Iron  is  uniformly 
resistant  throughout  its  entire  cross-section. 

(3)  It  combines  with  the  high  rust-resistance  of  an  alloy  iron, 
many  desirable  physical  qualities  not  found  in  the  highest  grade 
open  hearth  steels. 

(4)  It  is  one  of  the  most  ductile  of  materials.  It  is  remark- 
ably soft.    It  forms  easily. 

(5)  Unlike   other  ferrous  materials,  cold   working — cutting. 


bending,  punching,  stamping,  drawing,  etc.,  has  practically  no 
effect  upon  rust-resistance  of  Toncan  Iron. 

(6)  It  welds  easily  by  any  of  the  usually  accepted  modern 
methods.  The  use  of  Toncan  Iron  Welding  Rod  insures  an 
installation  of  equal  rust-resistance  throughout. 

(7)  A  uniform  and  tightly  adherent  galvanized  coating  can  be 
applied,  thus  adding  the  protection  of  a  coating  of  zinc  to  the 
already  high  rust-resistance  of  the  base  metal  itself. 

(8)  Through  its  longer  service-life,  it  has  been  found  to  cost 
far  less  per  year  of  service.  Its  use  is  more  than  an  economy. 
It  is  greater  insurance  against  sheet  and  pipe  failures  and  fre- 
quent costly  replacements.

TONCAN  IRON  FINISHED  PRODUCTS 


Corrugated  Sheets 

Corrugated  sheets  are  light  in  weight  and  have  great  lineal 
rigidity.  They  add  strength  and  allow  a  considerable  saving  in 
sheathing  and  other  supporting  materials  necessary  with  weaker 
or  heavier  materials.  These  advantages,  with  the  fire  protection 
offered  by  corrugated  sheets,  account  for  their  almost  universal 
use  in  roofing  and  siding  for  industrial  buildings,  warehouses, 
mine  buildings,  etc.  Corrugated  sheets  are  also  ideal  for  barns, 
garages,  sheds  and  a  wide  variety  of  other  buildings. 

Corrugated  sheets  are  standard  in  2^2  in.  and  lY^  in.  corru- 
gations. In  the  2^2  in.  sheets  the  corrugations  are  2%  in.  center 
to  center  and  ^/^  in.  deep.  All  gauges  No.  10  and  lighter.  Widths: 
Siding— 26  in.;  Roofing— 2iy2  in.  Lengths:  5,  6,  7,  8,  9,  10,  11 
and  12  ft.  In  the  1^4  in.  sheets  the  corrugations  are  IV2  in.  center 
to  center  and  %  in.  deep.  Gauges  No.  20  and  lighter.  Width, 
26  in.  Lengths:  5,  6,  7,  8,  9,  10,  11  and  12  ft.  Can  be  furnished 
curved  at  one  or  both  ends  to  specifications,  cross-corrugated,  or 
cross-crimped  for  cornice  and  similar  work. 

V-Crimped  Roofing 

V-Crimped  is  the  oldest  form  of  iron  roofing  and  has  been  used 
extensively.  Construction  is  simple  and  makes  a  good  appearance 
at  reasonable  cost.  Can  be  applied  over  close  sheathing,  to  strips 
spaced  four  or  five  inches  apart  or  over  old  shingles  (in  the  latter 
case  a  3-in.  nail  should  be  used).  The  three  V-crimped  makes  a 
stiffer  sheet,  while  five  V-crimped  is  still  stronger. 

All  three  styles  are  supplied  in 
lengths  of  5,  6,  7,  8,  9,  10,  11 
and  12  ft.,  and  in  gauges  20  and 
lighter.  Actual  covering  width 
of  each  style  is  24  in.  With  this 
type  of  roof  V-shaped  wood  strips 
are  necessary.  These  are  supplied 
Three  V-Crimp  Rooiing         when  ordered. 


Standing  Seam  Roofing 

This  type  of  roofing  is  strong  and  attractive  in  appearance.  It 
can  be  applied  over  shingles,  over  close  sheathing  or  to  strips. 
No  nails  are  driven  through  the  roofing  sheets,  but  this  type  of 
roof  properly  applied  has  perfectly  water-tight  joints.  Pressed 
Standing  Seam  Roofing  is  supplied  in  sheets  5,  6,  7,  8,  9,  10  or 
12  ft.  long,  in  28  and  27  gauges  galvanized  and  in  gauges  26,  24, 
22  and  20  either  painted  or  galvanized.  Covering  width  in  all 
cases  24  in. 

Roll  Roofing 

This  is  an  excellent  form  of 
roofing  and  is  often  preferred  for 
large  areas  and  where  pitch  is 
slight.  Cross  seams  are  double 
locked  and  notched,  and  end  lock 
is  protected  by  V  wood  strip. 
Each  roll  is  50  ft.  long  and  per- 
fectly straight,  sides  and  ends  of 
each  sheet  having  been  resquared  before 
are  full  width  to  give  a  covering  width 
to  the  roll.

ARCHITECTURAL  USES 
OF  FABRICATED  TONCAN  IRON 

Why  Architects  and  Engineers  Specify  Toncan  Iron 

After  devoting  months,  even  years,  to  the  creation  and  design 
of  a  beautiful  building,  the  architect  has  just  cause  to  take  pride 
in  his  work  and  to  seek  means  of  endowing  it  with  permanence. 
He  wishes  to  give  full  measure  in  quality  to  the  client  who  has 
entrusted  him  with  specifying  those  materials  which  best  meet 
service  requirements.  Toncan  Iron  brings  to  the  building  indus- 
try the  highest  degree  of  resistance  to  rust  and  corrosive  action 
obtainable  among  ferrous  metals  in  its  price  class.  It  also  insures 
economy  of  installation  through  its  unsurpassed  ductility  and 
working  qualities. 


Because  of  its  versatility,  Toncan  Iron  has  met  with  broad 
usage  from  engineers  and  has  proved  itself  in  countless  instal- 
lations under  severe  service  conditions.  Structural  engineers 
prefer  Toncan  Iron  for  roofing,  siding,  partitions,  pipe  and  many 
other  applications  too  numerous  to  mention.  Heating  and  venti- 
lating engineers  specify  Toncan  Iron  for  all  sheet  metal  work  in 
heating,  ventilating  and  air  conditioning  installations. 

The  truth  of  every  claim  made  for  Toncan  Iron  as  to  its  dur- 
ability, economy  and  other  superior  merits  has  been  confirmed 
by  the  verdict  of  the  leading  architects  and  engineers.

TONCAN  IRON  ENAMELING  STOCK 


Porcelain  enamel  offers  the  architect  a  perma- 
nent, flexible  medium,  almost  unhampered  as 
far  as  range  of  colors  or  workability  goes.  He 
need  not  use  it  to  imitate  some  other  medium. 
Rather  he  may  follow  the  modern  trend  to  the 
frank  use  of  materials  in  their  own  forni^ — 
steel  as  steel,  wood  as  wood,  concrete  as  con- 
crete, porcelain  enamel  as  porcelain  enamel. 

Although  only  recently  have  the  decorative  as  well  as  practical 
possibilities  of  enameled  iron  engaged  the  attention  of  architects, 
it  is  interesting  to  note  that  Toncan  Iron  has  been  used  for  years 
as  the  base  metal  for  all  types  of  vitreous  enameled  products. 

Toncan  Iron  Enameling  Sheets  have  been  and  are  being  used 
for  forming  all  kinds  of  manufactured  products  such  as  washing 
machine  tubs,  gas  and  electric  stove  parts,  sinks,  drainboards, 
shelving,  signs  and  many  others  which  are  later  enameled.  Ton- 
can  Iron  has  proved  completely  satisfactory  as  a  base  for  such 
products  which  are  usually  subjected  to  far  more  severe  service 
than  will  be  most  of  the  enameled  products  used  in  architectural 
applications. 

Its  use  for  architectural  purposes  has  increased  at  the  same 
rate  as  has  the  development  of  easily  fabricated  and  enameled 
sheets,  and  the  development  of  durable  enamels. 

The  architect  need  not  fear  the  impossibility  of  rendering  a 
structural  creation  in  porcelain  enamel  since  Toncan  Iron  En- 
ameling Sheets  are  custom  made  to  insure  easy  fabrication  into 
any  form  or  shape  which  he  may  conceive.  Because  of  their 
absolute  flatness  and  uniform  freedom  from  waves,  Toncan  Iron 
Enameling  Sheets  are  ideal  for  flat  surfaces,  such  as  panels,  coun- 
ters, walls,  signs,  etc. 

In  no  other  permanent  medium  is  the  architect  able  to  make 
such  lavish  or  unrestricted  use  of  color.  Modern  frits  produce 
long-lasting,  color-fast,  non-corroding,  and  (when  so  specified) 
acid-resisting  porcelain  enamels.  Modern  base  metals  such  as 
Toncan  Iron  Enameling  Sheets,  provide  a  workable,  easily  formed 
base  for  these  enamels. 

Applications  of  Porcelain  Enameled  Iron  in 
Building  Construction 

The  modern  store,  restaurant,  filling  station,  office  building 
and  home  is  undergoing  a  rebirth  in  design.  Mercantile  estab- 
lishments are  dropping  sombre  colors  and  utilizing  colorful 
store  fronts  and  interiors  to 
attract  customers.  Restaurants 
realize  that  a  clean,  sanitary 
appearance  is  as  important  as 
good  food  and  service.  Gaso- 
line filling  stations  must  de- 
pend upon  their  appearance 
to  attract  passing  motorists. 
Office  buildings  are  making 
use  of  materials  which  reduce 
the  cost  of  cleaning  and  main- 
tenance. Homes  need  inex- 
pensive materials  which  are 
durable  and  beautiful. 

To  all  of  these  porcelain  en- 
amel is  a  medium  which  fulfills 
all  reasonable  requirements  of 
economy,  beauty,  flexibility 
and  permanence.

Advantages  of  Porcelain  Enameled  Iron  in 
Architectural  Applications 

#  Permanent  Beauty — The  color  range  is  unlimited.  Practically 
any  painting  or  design  can  be  faithfully  reproduced  in  all  the 
original  colors  for  decorative  wall  panels.  Single  sheets  are  made 
in  sizes  up  to  four  by  six  feet,  but  when  larger  panels  are  re- 
quired it  is  entirely  practical  to  spread  the  design  over  two  or 
more  sheets  which  are  later  mounted  together. 

The  metal  being  permanently  and  completely  covered  by  the 
enamel  cannot  rust  or  corrode  and  is  practically  everlasting. 

#  Economical  Upkeep — Porcelain  enamel  is  absolutely  perma- 
nent. Colors  never  fade  even  when  exposed  to  the  itioet  severe 
conditions.    There  is  no  repainting  as  is  the  case  with  wood. 

#  Simple  and  Easy  to  Clean — Dust  and  grease  do  not  adhere 
to  the  hard  smooth  surface  so  that  cleaning  is  required  but 
seldom.  When  it  is  necessary,  simple  washing  with  soap  and 
water  will  restore  the  original  beauty.  No  sand  blasting  or  steam 
cleaning  is  required  as  with  masonry. 

#  Ease  of  Fabrication — Porcelain  enamel  may  be  formed  into 
practically  any  desired  form.  Fluted  columns,  embossed  designs, 
formed  mouldings,  perforated  grilles,  crimped  shapes  arc  all 
readily  formed  with  Toncan  Iron  Enameling  Sheets. 

#  Mat  or  Glazed  Finish — While  the  highly  glazed  finish  is  most 
common,  porcelain  enamel  may  be  produced  with  a  dull  or  mat 
finish  which  eliminates  all  glare.  This  finish  is  especially  desir- 
able in  many  exterior  building  applications. 

#  Economical  to  Use — Modern  production  methods,  by  reduc- 
ing costs,  make  it  feasible  to  use  porcelain  enamel  in  small  mod- 
est buildings  as  well  as  in  more  elaborate  structures. 

#  Readily  Available — Competent  enamelers  are  found  in  all  larger 
cities.  They  will  gladly  consult  with  architects  as  to  their  require- 
ments. Any  Republic  District  office  will  furnish  the  names  of  con- 
cerns in  your  vicinity  who  will  faithfully  reproduce  your  designs. 

Toncan  Iron  Enameling 
Sheets  Meet  the 
Modern  Need 

To  meet  the  requirements 
of  the  modern  applications  of 
porcelain  enamel  as  described 
above  requires  a  high  grade 
sheet. 

The  physical  properties  (►f 
the  sheet  are,  of  course,  of  an 
importance  equal  to  its  ability 
to  accept  a  satisfactory  coat 
of  porcelain  enamel,  and  the 
wide  spread  use  of  enameled 
products  has  involved  some 
of  the  most  difficult  fabrica- 
tion operations  which  are  en- 
countered anywhere  in  the 
use  of  sheet  metal.

TONCAN  IRON  ENAMELING  STOCK 


Experience  of  many  years  has 
demonstrated  that  open  hearth 
irons  are  most  suitahle  for 
porcelain  enameling.  Toncan 
Iron  is  one  of  the  oldest  open 
hearth  irons  in  the  market,  hav- 
ing been  produced  for  more 
than  twenty-eight  years. 

Toncan  Iron  Enameling  Sheets, 
therefore,  combine  the  physical 
properties  required  for  difficult 
fabrication  and  the  ability  to 
accept  a  high  grade  coat  of 
porcelain  enamel. 

Toncan  Iron  Sheets,  before  and 
after  enameling  are  unusually 
flat,  free  from  waves  and  buck- 
les and  in  addition  have  the 
highly  desirable  properties  of 
an  open  hearth  iron  for  enamel 
adherence  and  freedom  from 
segregated  impurities  which 
might  react  with  the  porcelain  enamel. 

Constant  research  is  conducted  by  Republic  in  an  effort  to 
keep  Toncan  Iron  at  all  times  suitable  for  all  types  of  porce- 
lain enamel.  Close  cooperation  with  the  manufacturers  of  frits, 
as  well  as  with  those  plants  which  produce  their  own  frit,  is  in 
effect  that  we  may  work  out  with  the  enameler  any  problem  in 
connection  with  the  use  of  our  product. 

Erection  and  Forms  of  Porcelain  Enameled  Iron 

In  the  application  of  porcelain  enameled  iron  in  the  con- 
struction industry  many  novel  methods  and  forms  have  been 
developed. 

Sheets  either  plain  or  embossed  may  be  applied  by  screws, 
bolts  or  nails  to  furring  strips  or  other  base.  Several  styles  of 
clips  have  been  developed  to  meet  special  conditions. 

Mouldings  drawn  or  rolled  into  any  desired  form  are  applied 
in  a  similar  manner.  Used  in  combination  with  sheets  they  cover 
the  joints  and  screw  heads. 

Fluted  sheets  or  columns  are  used  for  decoration  and  are 
usually  applied  by  clips.

Designing  With  Porcelain 
Enameled  Iron 

The  architect  will  appreciate 
the  many  possibilities  for  unique 
and  beautiful  designs  which  are 
now  offered  by  porcelain  enam- 
eled iron.  As  has  been  men- 
tioned previously  the  range  of 
colors  is  practically  unlimited 
and,  especially  in  the  modernization  of  store  fronts  and  restau- 
rants, color  is  becoming  increasingly  important.  With  the  use  of 
porcelain  enameled  iron  the  design  of  the  front  may  be  attrac- 
tively and  effectively  harmonized  with  the  design  of  the  signs  as 
well  as  with  the  color  and  design  of  the  interior. 

By  the  use  of  fluted  columns  in  color  the  effect  of  height  may 
be  obtained  or  mass  may  be  emphasized.  The  design  and  the 
lighting  of  the  front,  the  window  and  the  interior  may  now  be 
considered  and  treated  as  one  problem  and,  by  combinin^^  En- 
duro Stainless  Steel  and  colored  porcelain  enameled  iron  un- 
usually rich  and  individual  results  may  be  secured.  For  interior 
design  porcelain  enameled  iron  permits  the  architect  to  use  color 
for  wall  decorations,  counters,  display  cases  and  many  other  ap- 
plications heretofore  impractical  because  of  material  limitations. 

Complete  Engineering  Service  Available 

Republic  Steel  Corporation  maintains  a  special  engineering 
department  devoted  to  the  development  and  application  of  en- 
ameled iron.  Republic  specialists  are  always  glad  to  assist  archi- 
tects in  working  out  the  best  methods  of  producing  their  designs 
and  applying  them  to  the  finished  buildings.

with  the  channel  under  all  conditions.

Facilities 

With  a  plant  second  to 
none  in  size,  manned  by  a 
personnel  of  long  experi- 
ence, every  step  from  prep- 
aration of  details,  patterns, 
models,  casting,  fitting,  as- 
sembling and  finishing,  to 
erection  and  completion  is 
handled  by  our  own  organi- 
zation. Only  by  such  uni- 
fied effort  can  high  stand- 
ards be  maintained. 

Finishes 

Suitable  finishes  for  bronze  have  long  been  known  at  a  time  when  the  building  dollar  must  yield  maxi- 
and  used,  but  iron  has  been  merely  a  background  for     mum  return. 


successive  coats  of  paint  to  the  detriment  of  its  char- 
acter as  metal  and  the  eventual  obliteration  of  all 
ornament.  To  obviate  this  we  have  developed  various 
finishes  in  oven  baked  enamels  which,  being  thin  and 
translucent,  protect  the  surface  without  obscuring  its 
metal  character. 

Special  equipment  for  finishing  the  newer  metals  and 
alloys;  nickel  silver,  monel  metal,  aluminum  and  stain- 
less steel  have  also  been  provided.  This  equipment  in- 
cludes belts  and  wheels  for  polishing  these  metals  and 
alloys,  and  vats,  generators,  etc.,  for  deplating  and 
alumilite  finishes  on  aluminum. 

Consultation 

Proper  choice  of  mate- 
rials, and  correct  specifica- 
tions and  details,  to  develop 
advantages  and  avoid  ex- 
cessive cost  imposed  by 
limitations,  is  now  espe- 
cially important.  We  have 
long  maintained  a  consulta- 
tion service  which,  we  be- 
lieve, has  been  helpful.  We 
solicit  the  opportunity  to 
extend  this  service  which 
should  be  of  special  value

Architectural  Bronze 

Architectural  Bronze  by  Gorham  includes  installa- 
tions in  the  better  type  of  commercial  buildings  as  well 
as  those  of  a  memorial  character.  Our  Design  and 
Engineering  Departments,  with  complete  modern  manu- 
facturing facilities,  enable  us  to  fabricate  and  erect 
Architectural  Bronze  to  meet  the  most  exacting 
requirements.  Budgets  and  estimates  prepared  without 
obligation. 

Architectural  Plastics 

The  development  of  cast  moulds  by  Gorham  has 
opened  up  a  new  field  of  colorful  decoration  in  orna- 
mental plastic  panels,  grilles,  plaques,  medallions  and 
mouldings  of  intricate  design,  heretofore  prohibitive 
because  of  the  cost  of  steel  moulds.  Investigate  possi- 
bilities of  this  architectural  medium. 

Bronze  Tablets 

Gorham  Tablet  craftsmanship  blends  the  ideas  and 
tastes  of  clients  with  the  experience  and  technical  knowl-

STAINLESS  STEEL  MACOTTA 
METALIZED  MACOTTA 
PORCELAIN  CAST  IRON  MACOTTA 

Macotta  in  its  various  applications  is  a  product  of 
Maul  Macotta  Corporation.  Macotta  is  the  only  per- 
manent building  unit  available  to  the  architect  which 
incorporates  a  true  porcelain  enamel,  or  metal  facing  into 
a  load-bearing  masonry  building  material.  Macotta,  being 
a  masonry  unit,  is  actually  incorporated  into  the  structure 
on  which  it  is  used,  differing  in  this  respect  from  thin 
applied  facing  materials. 

General  use  has  been  made  of  this  colorful  product 
for  modern  new  building  purposes  and  it  is  particularly 
adaptable  for  the  modernizing  of  structures  such  as 
store  and  shop  fronts,  theater  fagades,  and  like  projects. 
Macotta  offers  to  the  architect  for  the  first  time  a  sub- 
stantial masonry  unit,  through  the  use  of  which  he  can 
express  color  originality,  in  mass  and  line  without  limit. 
Scarlet,  emerald  green,  royal  blue  ...  as  well  as  softer 
pastel  shades  of  ivory,  cream  and  pale  orchid  are  all 
available  in  addition  to,  or  in  combination  with,  the 
newer  metals  .  .  .  stainless  steel,  aluminum  and  others. 

Macotta  colors  are  permanent.    They  are  acid-proof 
and  easily  cleaned.    Macotta  is  jointed  and  erected  in  a 
manner  similar  to  ordinary  stone  work.    Popular  use 
of  this  new  and  smart  building  material  is  proof 
of  its  favorable  position  in  today's  building  pro- 
gram. It  offers  the  architect  a  versatile  medium 
with  which  he  can  achieve  new  heights  of 
beauty.    Macotta  has  a  definite  place  in 
modern  building  art. 

Under  normal  conditions,  ship- 
ments oi  hnisned  ^iacotta  units  can 
be  expected  within  two  weeks  after 
receipt  at  the  Macotta  factory  of 
approved  plans  and  color  samples. 

Macotta  process,  delivery  and 
erection  servicing  are  of  real  value 
to  the  architect,  and  greatly  assist 
in  the  speedy  completion  of  any  job 
where  Macotta  is  utilized  as  the 
motif  of  modern  color  and  decora- 
tion.

THE  COLORFUL  MODERN  BUILDING  UNIT 


r'HE  facing  of  Porcelain  Macotta  is  of  Pemco  stainless 
architectural  porcelain  fused  on  steel.  The  steel  used  in 
this  base  is  the  finest  grade  specially  prepared  enameling  stock 
varying  from  16  to  20-gauge  depending  on  the  size  unit 
required. 

The  enamel  facings  are  securely  anchored  to  concrete  back- 
ing by  a  patented  process.  Narrow  steel  edgings,  also  anchored 
in  the  concrete  are  usually  added  to  all  exposed  edges,  lending 
distinctive  beauty  and  protection  to  the  finished  product. 

Architectural  Procelain  Alacotta  is  acid-proof,  and  age- 
proof  .  .  .  impervious  to  moisture,  unaffected  by  drastic  tem- 
perature change  .  .  .  will  not  crack,  craze,  or  lose  its  lustre. 
It  has  a  high  resistance  to  physical  impact.  Macotta  is  easily 
cleaned  .  .  .  only  soap  and  water  is  required  to  preserve  in- 
definitely its  original  cleanliness  and  beauty  of  color. 

An  Age  of  Color 

This  is  an  age  of  color  .  .  .  the  architect  demands  color  .  .  . 
in  Macotta  it  has  been  achieved  successfully;  in  durable,  per- 
manent form.  Almost  every  tone  and  variation  in  the  color 
scale  can  be  produced  with  fidelity  through  the  use  of  Porce- 
lain Alacotta.  This  versatile  medium 
offers  a  stimulating  field  for  archi- 
tectural ingenuity,  as  Alacotta  units 
are  not  limited  to  single  colors.  By 
means  of  stencils,  additional  colors 
in  living,  vibrant  patterns  are  achieved 
in  either  matt  or  gloss  finish,  or  in 
combinations  of  the  two. 


Haydite  Used  for  Concrete 
Backing  of  Macotta 

Haydite  concrete  forms  the  backing 
of  all  Macotta  units,  to  which  the 
porcelain  enameled  metal  is  securely 
anchored,  thereby  in  effect,  becoming 
one  solid  fire-resisting  masonry  unit. 
Haydite  being  a  burned  shale  of  cel- 
lular construction,  produces  concrete 
33%  less  in  weight  than  w^ith  ordi- 
nary aggregates. 

It  also  serves  as  an  efficient  insu- 
lator, minimizing  heat  losses  through  the  walls.    It  is  low  in 
absorption,  devoid  of  capillary  attraction  and  thus  eliminates 
condensation. 

National  Board  of  Underwriters'  tests  have  conclusively 
established  the  fire-resisting  (lualitics  of  Haydite  concrete,  and 
it  complies  with  all  the  requirements  of  state  and  local  build- 
ing codes.    Alacotta  units  are  fabricated  from  1  in.  to  any

New  Center  Building,  Detroit,  Mich. 

Albert  Kahn,  Inc.,  Architects 


required  thickness.  They  can  be  used  as  solid  wall  units,  the 
inner  side  being  a  perfect  base  for  plaster.  Units  are  i)laccd 
in  masonry  in  a  manner  similar  to  stone  and  receive  the  dead 
and  live  building  loads,  and  in  general  serve  all  the  normal 
functions  of  ordinary  masonry. 

Macotta  weighs  approximately  100  lb.  per  cu.  ft.  as  against 
145-150  lb.  for  stone,  thus,  sometimes  effecting  savings  in 
structural  costs.  Macotta  surface  area  limitations  are  about 
20  sq.  ft.  per  unit.  Metal  ties  are  incorporated  in  the  Alacotta 
for  anchorage  and  larger  units  have  steel  lifting  hooks  to 
facilitate  handling.  Macotta  can  be  drilled  for  sign  or  other 
attachments  either  at  the  plant  or  on  the  job  b}^  following 
manufacturer's  instructions.  Units  of  Macotta  are  fabricated 
according  to  architect's  drawings  and  are  adaptable  to  all  ordi- 
nary masonry  functions,  for  spandrels,  copings,  frieze  courses, 
or  entire  wall  surfaces. 

Stainless  Steel  Macotta 

Stainless  Steel  Macotta  is  of  Chrome-nickel  (18-8)  sheet 
steel,  formed  to  the  required  design  and  firmly  anchored  in 
concrete.  Other  metals  are  used  in  like  manner  .  .  .  bronze, 
Dirigold,  etc.  Stainless  Steel  Alacotta 
is  used  for  base  courses,  wall  copings, 
sills,  lintels,  mullions,  pilasters  and 
spandrels.  Striking  color  effects  are 
obtainable  when  used  in  conjunction 
with  Porcelain  Macotta.  Through  the 
use  of  Stainless  Steel  Alacotta  entire 
wall  surfaces  may  be  successfully 
covered  without  the  usual  difficulties 
experienced  in  sheet  metal  construc- 
tion, and  giving  the  effect  of  solidity, 
associated  only  with  masonry  sur- 
faces. 

Metalized  Macotta 

Metalized  Macotta  is  formed  of 
a  light  weight  concrete  base,  the 
face  of  which  is  surfaced  with  molten 
metal.  It  is  available  in  the  non-fer- 
rous metals  such  as  copper,  brass, 
bronze,  lead,  nickel-silver,  tin,  or  the 
various  alloys  in  vogue  at  present, 
and  from  which  a  variety  of  metal  surfaces  may  be  ob- 
tained. It  is  used  for  exteriors,  as  well  as  interiors,  and 
weathers  beautifully,  assuming  in  time,  a  rich  soft  patina  asso- 
ciated only  with  the  solid  metals.  It  is  placed  and  erected 
in  the  same  manner  as  other  Alacotta  units.  It  is  particularly 
adapted  to  deep  relief  ornamentation  and  is  commonly  used 
for  ornamental  spandrels.

STEEL  WOOL,  METAL  SCRAPERS,  OR  ANY  OTHER  MECHAN- 
ICAL METHOD  SHALL  NOT  BE  USED  IN  CLEANING  THE 
STAINLESS  STEEL  MACOTTA,  as  scratching  and  contamination  of 
the  surface  are  almost  certain  to  result.  After  the  paper  has  been  re- 
moved, the  Stainless  Steel  Macotta  shall  be  cleaned  and  polished  with 
FFF  Italian  pumice.  This  powder  shall  be  applied  with  a  damp  cloth, 
allowed  to  dry  and  then  wiped  off  with  a  soft  woolen  cloth.  In  applying 
and  cleaning  off  the  powder,  always  rub  in  the  direction  of  the  polishing 
lines — never  with  a  circular  motion  or  across  the  grain  of  the  metal. 

The  ^Macotta  shall  be  cleaned  only  with  clean  water  and  soap  powder, 
or  a  cleaning  powder  prepared  for  this  purpose.  Information  on  the 
latter  will  be  provided  on  request. 

Before  pointing,  all  face  joints  shall  be  cleaned  by  brushing  or  blowing 
with  a  bellows,  to  remove  deposited  grime  and  dirt.  The  face  joints 
.shall  then  be  carefully  and  neatly  pointed  to  a  depth  of  %  in.,  and  to 
the  architect's  satisfaction.  The  pointing  material  shall  be  an  approved 
caulking  compound  of  color  selected  by  the  architect.  This  material  shall 
be  packed  solidly  into  the  joints  with  a  gim  completely  filling  them. 

When  called  for  on  the  approved  Macotta  shop  drawings,  expansion 
joints  shall  be  provided.  No  setting  mortar  shall  be  used  for  such  joints. 
The  entire  joint  shall  be  filled  with  the  caulking  compound  of  the  type 
hereinbefore  mentioned.

PORCELAIN  ENAMELLED  CAST 
IRON  MACOTTA 

One  of  the  most  strikingly  effective  developments  of  the 
Macotta  process  is  that  of  relief  ornamentation  carried  out 
in  architectural  porcelain  enamel.  The  relief  features  arc 
of  porcelain  cast  iron  Alacotta,  in  any  design  and  color 
combination  desired. 

Seven  panels  similar  to  the  one  pictured  herewith,  have 
been  placed  in  the  new  Ford  Rotunda  building  at  Dearborn, 
Michigan.  The  two  largest  representing  "Progress"  and 
"Industry"  over  the  south  and  north  doors  respectively, 
and  five  others  symbolic  of  Thrift,  Safety,  Power,  Beauty, 
and  Si)eed,  form  a  simple  and  impressive  decorative  motif 
over  the  main  entrance. 

The  arresting  beauty  of  these  cast  figures  in  oyster-white 
porcelain  enamel  Macotta  against  a  background  of  matt 
blue  Macotta,  form,  with  the  Stainless  Steel  entrance  col- 
umns a  magnificent  study  in  modern  simplicity,  enhancing 
the  natural  beauty  of  the  wall  masses. 

The  court  rotunda  is  surrounded  by  a  peristyle  of  thirty- 
two  imposing  columns  of  stainless  steel  Macotta.  These 
columns,  each  forty-five  feet  in  height,  command  attention 
by  the  beauty  of  their  classic  simplicity.  Structurally,  they 
are  built  up  of  nine  individual  sections,  each  five  feet  in 
height  and  securely  anchored  to  the  structural  steel  sup- 
porting members.

Durable 

When  records  are  made  in  bronze  on  heavy  tablets 
they  survive  for  years.  So  far  as  we  know  there  is  no 
record  of  a  bronze  tablet  ever  having  disintegrated. 

Turner  Sundials 

The  sundials  illustrated  here  are  for  home  gardens  or 
small  parks.  We  shall  be  glad  to  submit  designs  of 
sundials  suitable  for  large  public  parks  or  plazas  or

"Electro-Sheet''  Copper 

A  recent  development  by  Anaconda  metallurgists — 
the  electro-deposition  of  solid  copper — has  made  pos- 
sible the  production  of 
thin  copper  sheets  in  wide 
widths  and  practically 
unlimited  lengths.  This 
product,  designated  as 
**Electro-Sheet/'  is 
strikingly  uniform  in 
weight  and  thickness. 
Its  availability  has  led 
to  experimentation  with 
''Electro-  Sheet"  for 
manifold  uses,  most 
prominent  of  which  in 
the  building  field  are  its 
application  in  the  con- 
struction of  built-up 
roofs  and  its  use,  either 
plain  or  with  a  processed 
backing,  as  a  damp- 
proofing  and  weather- 
proofing  medium  in 
foundations,  cellars,  ex- 
terior walls  and  roofs. 

Built-up  Copper  Roofs 

Built-up  sheet  copper 
roofing  may  be  described 
as  alternate  layers  of 
asphalt  and  Anaconda 
"Electro-Sheet"  built 
up  on  the  roof — the  Cop- 
per sheets  being  30  in. 
wide  and  weighing  2  oz.

Exposed  Sample  Discloses  Value  of  ''Electro-Sheet'*  Copper  in 
Built-up  Roofs 

This  photograph  (actual  size)  illustrates  the  result  of  exposure  on  a 
small  test  boarcf,  coated  with  asphalt  and  covered  with  2-oz.  "Electro- 
Sheet."  The  board  was  exposed  day  and  night  at  Perth  Amboy,  N.  J., 
for  a  period  of  4  years. 

(1)  At  the  start  of  the  test,  a  portion  of  the  asphalt  was  not  covered 
with  "Electro-Sheet."  See  section  (1)  in  photograph.  It  will  be  noted 
that  considerable  deterioration  took  place  in  the  asphalt  during  the  4  years 
of  exposure. 

(2)  At  the  end  of  the  first  year  the  "Electro- Sheet"  covering  was 
removed  from  the  adjacent  asphalt.  During  the  following  3  years  of  the 
test,  this  unprotected  asphalt  in  section  (2)  deteriorated  similarly  to  sec- 
tion (1). 

(3)  At  the  conclusion  of  the  4-year  test  the  "Electro-Sheet"  covering 
was  removed  from  the  remainder  of  the  board.  See  section  (3).  The 
uneven  surface  texture  was  due  to  the  adherence  of  the  asphalt  to  the 
"Electro-Sheet."  This  asphalt,  protected  by  the  copper  throughout  the 
exposure  test,  retained  its  original  softness  and  pliability — clearly  indicat- 
ing the  protective  value  of  2-oz.  "Electro-Sheet."  This  test  provides 
striking  evidence  of  the  durability  of  built-up  *'Electro-Sheet"  Roofs. 


multiple-ply  roof  retains 
all  the  desirable  qualities  of  copper  roofing,  at  a  price 
which  compares  favorably  with  the  better  grades  of 
multiple-ply  felt  roofings. 

The  combination  of  copper  and  asphalt  offers  several 


distinct  advantages,  chief  among  which  are 
that:  (1)  The  copper  is  in  itself  water- 
proof, as  well  as  highly  resistant  to  the  de- 
structive elements  of  the  atmosphere.  Con- 
sequently, it  will  not  deteriorate  when  the 
top  coating  of  asphalt  develops  cracks; 
(2)  The  non-porous  sheet  of  copper  pro- 
tects the  inner  layers  of  asphalt  from  the  destructive 
action  of  the  sun's  rays  and  prevents  evaporation  of 
the  volatile  constituents  of  the  asphalt,  thus  prolong- 
ing its  Hfe;  (3)  The  non-porous  copper  eliminates 
absorption  of  air  and  moisture  through  capillary  at- 
traction, generally  conceded  to  be  the  principal  cause 
of  blisters  in  built-up  roofs. 

The  installation  can  be 
made  by  any  duly  auth- 
orized and  qualified 
roofer  and  may  be  ap- 
plied to  any  type  of  deck. 

Weather-proofing  and 
Damp-proofing 

Anacoda  "Electro- Sheet'' 
Copper,  correctly  applied  to 
the  walls  and  floor  of  the 
cellar,  in  much  the  same 
way  as  other  water-proofing 
material,  offers  durable  and 
inexpensive  protection. 

Applied  in  the  same  man- 
ner as  building  paper,  it 
serves  as  an  efficient  and 
low-cost  damp-proofing  and 
weather-proofing  material 
for  walls  and  roofs.  Thus 
used,  "Electro- Sheet"  pre- 
vents moisture  from  enter- 
ing basements,  keeps  cellars 
dry.  It  makes  houses  cooler 
in  summer  and  easier  to 
heat  in  winter. 

This  paper-thin  Copper 
product  is  available  bonded 
to  Sisalkraft  paper  ("Cop- 
per Armored  Sisalkraft")  ; 
with  a  backing  of  20-lb.  as- 
bestos felt  ("Copperclad'O  ; 
and  bonded  to  Robertson 
Protected  Metal  ("Copper 
Covered  RPM"). 

Floor  Lining 

Inexpensive  and  effective 
elimination  of  the  dampness 
dangers  to  the  finished  floor 
— especially  when  laid  over 
concrete — is  accomplished  by  applying  a  lining  of  "Electro- 
Sheet"  to  the  sub-floor,  according  to  a  method  developed  by 
N.  L.  Dahlander.  The  Copper,  in  rolled  up  sheets  known  as  "Cop- 
Roll,"  is  laid  in  a  special  non-soluble  adhesive.  Laps  are  easily  and 
permanently  sealed  with  a  special  low  melting  point  solder  wire.

GENASCO  STANDARD  TRINIDAD  LAKE  ASPHALT  BUILT-UP  ROOFING 


Standard  Trinidad  Lake  Asphalt  Built-up  Roofs 
Constructed  with  All-Rag  Felts 

Engineering  facts  prove  that  a  roof  constructed  with 
Trinidad  Lake  Roofing  Asphalt  and  Genasco  All-Rag 
Felts  contains  more  waterproofing  than  is  obtained  from 
the  same  form  of  construction  employing  asphalts  and 
felts  of  inferior  quality. 

Bonds— Genasco  Trinidad  Lake  Asphalt  Built-up 
roofs  will  be  bonded,  when  desired,  by  the  United 
States  Fidelity  and  Guaranty  Company  of  Baltimore, 
Maryland,  which  guarantees  against  maintenance  ex- 
pense for  ten,  fifteen  or  twenty  years  depending  upon 
the  type  of  roofing  used.  There  is,  also,  a  Genasco 
Flashing  covered  by  a  bond,  when  desired. 

Asbestos  Built-up  Roofs 

To  cover  those  cases  in  which  it  is  desired  to  obtain 
Underwriters'  Class  ''A"  rating  for  a  lighter  type  of 
roof  construction,  without  gravel  surfacing,  a  complete 


line  of  asphalt-asbestos  felts  and  base  sheets  is  offered. 
This  makes  it  possible  to  combine  the  recognized  weath- 
ering superiority  of  Trinidad  Lake  Roofing  Asphalt 
with  the  additional  fire-resisting  qualities  of  asbestos. 

Bonds— Genasco  Trinidad  Asbestos  Built-up  Roofs 
will  be  bonded,  which  guarantees  against  maintenance 
expense  for  ten,  fifteen  or  twenty  years  depending  upon 
the  type  of  roofing  used.  There  is,  also,  a  Genasco 
Flashing  covered  by  a  bond,  when  desired.

The  data  presented  comprise  the  most  practical  methods  and  procedure  based 
on  three-quarters  of  a  century's  experience,  the  essence  of  which  is  incorporated 
to  the  fullest  extent  possible.  The  details  are  arranged  to  show  exactly  the  con- 
struction which  may  be  expected  when  the  accompanying  specifications  are 
adhered  to,  the  object  being  to  provide  the  architect,  builder  or  building  owner 
with  reference  material  which  is  designed  from  his  viewpoint  and  with  his  interest 
in  mind. 

Architects  and  construction  engineers  in  all  parts  of  the  country  have  found 
the  methods  recommended  by  Barrett  in  this  manual  to  be  entirely  reliable  and 
in  accord  with  the  most  up-to-date  engineering  practices.  The  practical  demon- 
stration of  these  methods  and  the  use  of  the  materials  recommended  on  so  many

ON  WOOD  ROOF  DECKS,  the  installation  of  a 
waterproofing  course,  over  which  the  insulation  is 
applied,  provides  protection  against  moisture  or  dete- 
rioration from  below.  The  waterproofing  course 
should  be  of  2-ply  construction ;  i.e.,  one  layer  of 
Rosin-sized  sheathing  and  2  plies  of  tarred  felt,  each 
sheet  lapped  17  inches  over  preceding  one,  and  nailed 
along  lower  edge  sufficiently  to  hold  in  place.  All  nails 
should  be  driven  through  flat  tin  discs  and  should  not 
extend  to  under  side  of  deck.  The  entire  surface  of 
the  waterproofing  course  should  then  be  coated  with  a 
uniform  mopping  of  pitch  into  which,  while  hot,  the 
insulation  is  laid.  OVER  PRECAST  SLABS,  Rosin- 
sized  sheathing  may  be  omitted. 

ON  MONOLITHIC  CONCRETE  OR  GYPSUM 
DECKS,  the  waterproofing  course,  consisting  of  two 
layers  of  tarred  felt,  is  applied  directly  and  fully  to  the 
roof  deck.  The  felts  should  be  stuck  solidly  to  the  deck, 
and  together,  with  a  uniform  coating  of  hot  pitch  and 
the  installation  laid  in  a  hot  mopping  of  pitch  applied  to 
the  surface  of  the  two-ply  mem- 
brane.   The  roof  deck  in  all  cases 
shall  be  smooth,  firm,  free  from 
loose  materials,  and  shall  be  DRY. 

OVER    INSULATION,  and 
where   base-protection   course  is 
provided,  all  roofing  shall  be  solid- 
mopped.    (For  specifications  refer 
to  pages  18  and  19.)    Water  cut- 
offs, consisting  of  2  plies  of  Barrett 
Waterproofing  Fabric  and  alter- 
nating moppings  of  pitch  shall  be  installed  at  all  edges  of 
insulation  adjoining  parapet  walls,  curbs,  or  other  vertical 
surfaces.  Supplementary  and  continuous  cut-offs  of  simi- 
lar construction  shall  be  installed  approximately  every  25 
feet  in  each  direction  during  application  of  insulation.

and  Details 

The  prevention  of  seepage  or  leaks  at  masonry  walls 
of  the  modern  building  is  a  serious  problem  confront- 
ing every  architect,  engineer  and  builder. 

These  troubles  are  frequently  traced  to  faulty  flash- 
ing construction.  Low  spots  where  snow,  ice,  and  rain 
water  concentrate,  are  usually  found  along  parapet 
vvalls,  curbs,  or  other  places  where  flashings  are  installed. 
Inadequate  or  faulty  construction  at  these  vital  points 
opens  the  way  to  troublesome  leaks  and  costly  repairs. 

The  Barrett  system  of  flashing  is  considered  a  com- 
ponent part  of  the  roof  construction.  The  waterproof 
membrane  is  definitely  tied  in  with  the  parapet  wall  by 
means  of  the  flashing  block.  This  part  of  the  roof  is 
reinforced,  the  added  protection  actually  making  it  the 
strongest  part  of  the  roof.   The  flashing  is  flexible,  and 


permits  of  movement  occasioned  by  settlement  of  the 
deck,  or  by  expansion  and  contraction  in  materials. 

The  Barrett  system,  used  in  conjunction  with  Barrett 
Specification  roofing,  definitely  eliminates  troublesome 
Bashing  leaks  at  parapets,  curbs,  chimneys,  fire-walls,  etc. 
The  responsibility  for  the  complete  roof,  including  flash- 
ing construction,  rests  with  the  Barrett  approved  roofer. 
The  flashing  is  installed  by  the  roofing  contractor  at  the 
same  time  he  applies  the  roofing,  and  its  performance  is 
fully  covered  in  the  guaranty  bond. 

Good  flashings  promote  the  serviceability  of  good 
roofs.  The  Barrett  flashing  system,  developed  after 
years  of  practical  experience,  is  a  worthy  companion  to 
Barrett  Specification  Roofs.  Time-tried  under  every 
conceivable  condition,  it  is  accepted  generally  as  a  stand- 
ard type  of  construction  for  both  flat  and  steep  built-up 
roofs.

THE  determination  of  leader  sizes  required  to  drain  roof  areas 
effectively  depends  largely  on  local  conditions,  and  can  be 
accurately  calculated  only  when  the  rainfall  intensity  is  defi- 
nitely known.  It  is  estimated  that  the  maximum  rate  in  the  United 
States  and  Canada  varies  from  4.5  to  8.7  inches  per  hour.  It  is 
reasonable,  therefore,  to  base  computations  on  an  intensity  of  8 
inches  per  hour. 

In  designing  drainage  systems,  the  location  of  leader  lines  and 
openings  should  first  be  determined.  It  is  recommended  that 
leader  openings  be  spaced  not  more  than  75  ft.  apart. 

Drainage  of  150  sq.  ft.  of  roof  area  per  square  inch  of  leader 
pipe  opening  is  an  average  value  for  the  United  States  and  Canada. 
This  table,  therefore,  is  based  on  150  sq.  ft.  of  roof  area,  drained 
per  square  inch  of  leader  pipe  area,  and  on  a  maximum  rainfall 
intensity  of  8  inches  per  hour.  Modifications  in  last  column  of 
table  should  be  made  to  suit  higher  or  lower  rainfall  intensities.

Section  4 

Roof  Drainage  System 
Specifications  and  Details

IN  ALL  types  of  roof  construction,  it  is  consistent  that 
roof  drains  be  at  least  as  permanent  as  the  roof  cov- 
erings they  serve.  They  should  be  easy  to  install,  should 
effectively  function  under  all  prevailing  conditions,  and 
should  provide  against  clogging  of  drainage  outlets  by 
leaves  or  debris  deposited  on  the  roof  proper. 

The  Barrett  Holt  Roof  Connection*  meets  the  demand 
for  a  completely  assembled,  long-lived  and  dependable 
roof  drain  fixture.  The  connection  is  made  up  in  a 
variety  of  types  to  meet  the  particular  conditions  in- 
volved. It  consists  of  a  roof  fitting  with  roof  locking 
attachment ;  a  component  flashing  flange ;  and  an  expan- 
sion joint.  The  types  furnished  for  use  in  connection 
with  inside  leader  lines  are  equipped  with  a  cast  metal 
tile  or  gravel  stop ;  a  strainer  plate ;  and  serviceable  cast 
metal  strainer. 

The  flashing  flange  furnished  as  a  component  part  of 
the  Barrett  Holt  Roof  Connection  assures  a  dependable 
connection  between  the  leader  head  unit  and  the  roof 
covering.  The  expansion  joint  makes  possible  a  flexible, 
yet  water  and  gas-tight  joint  between  the  connection  and 


the  pipe  or  fixture  joined  to  it.  The  changes  resulting 
from  shrinkage,  settlement,  and  expansion  or  contraction 
are  thereby  properly  provided  for  without  danger  of 
broken  joints  or  troublesome  leaks. 

They  are  used :  ( 1 )  As  a  roof  leader  connection  where 
inside  leader  or  conductor  pipe  is  installed;  (2)  As  a 
roof  vent  connection  where  soil  or  waste  vent  pipe  is 
installed;  (3)  As  a  connection  where  any  pipe,  flag-pole, 
tank  support  or  similar  fixture  is  carried  through  the 
roof  deck  of  a  building. 

More  than  twenty  years  of  use  under  exacting  condi- 
tions have  proved  the  Barrett  Holt  Roof  Connection  to 
be  the  most  dependable  device  of  its  kind  on  the  market. 
It  simplifies  specification  procedure — a  type  to  meet  each 
need  can  be  specified  in  a  few  words.  It  is  easy  to 
install,  and  allowances  covering  extra  parts  or  assembly 
costs  are  not  necessary. 

The  Barrett  Holt  Roof  Connections  described  are 
standard,  and  are  recommended  for  use  on  all  types  of 
flat  and  steep  roof  construction,  in  accordance  with  the 
specifications  outlined.

Waterproofing  and 
Dampproofing 
Specifications  and  Details 


PART  I— WATERPROOFING 


WATERPROOFING  in  some  form  is  essential  to 
the  life  and  stability  of  many  structures.  Just  what 
this  form  should  be  is  a  problem  not  exactly  determinable 
by  precise  mathematical  calculation.  However,  with  a 
careful  study  of  conditions,  with  the  knowledge  of  defi- 
nite factors  and  with  the  help  of  past  experience,  a  form 
or  method  of  waterproofing  may  be  devised  for  the  spe- 
cific conditions  encountered.  Proper  waterproofing  mate- 
rials, intelligently  selected  and  skillfully  applied,  are  vital 
factors  in  making  engineering  structures  watertight. 

For  most  satisfactory  results  the  use  of  the  membrane 
method  of  waterproofing  is  recommended.  This  method 
correctly  followed  not  only  protects  but  prolongs  the 
life  of  any  structure,  and  has  been  successfully  used 
over  a  long  period  of  years.  It  provides  an  elastic  and 
continuous  bituminous  w^aterproofing  blanket,  composed 
of  layers  of  waterproofing  felt  or  fabric,  homogeneously 
cemented  with  suitable  waterproofing  bitumen. 

The  use  of  the  membrane  system  applies  generally  to 
the  waterproofing  of  structures  exposed  to  hydrostatic 


pressure  or  conditions  of  dampness  or  moisture,  par- 
ticularly those  below  ground  surface,  such  as  founda- 
tions of  buildings,  tunnels,  subways,  or  other  forms  of 
sub-construction.  It  is  equally  adaptable  to  the  water- 
proofing of  reservoirs,  bridges,  retaining  walls,  etc. 

The  following  specifications  treat  with  specific  condi- 
tions. The  materials  specified  are  prepared  expressly 
for  the  purposes  intended,  and  are  definitely  suited  to 
the  conditions  under  which  they  are  required  to  function. 
The  application  methods  described  are  accepted  as 
standard  practice. 

Barrett  Approved  Waterproofing  Contractors  are 
skilled  in  the  arts  of  waterproofing.  Their  employment 
on  specific  installations  in  accordance  with  the  specifica- 
tions outlined  assures  the  obtaining  of  satisfactory 
results. 

The  services  of  our  Construction  Service  Department 
are  available  for  consultation  or  co-operation  in  the  pre- 
paring of  specifications  or  handling  of  unusual  installa- 
tions not  incorporated  in  this  section.

BIRD  BUILDING  PRODUCTS 

Established    .  .  .  when  Washington  was  President 


FOUNDED  in  ,  the  continuous  success  of  Bird  &  Son,  inc.,  has  proved 
the  sound  principles  upon  which  Bird  makes  and  distributes  its  products. 
A  long  time  in  business  means  much  when  demonstrated  stability  is  coupled 
with  a  quality  line  of  materials. 

This  high  quality  of  products  has  been  secured  and  maintained  by  con- 
stant research  by  the  Bird  laboratories  and  the  rigid  control  of  production 
exercised  in  the  mills.  This  unceasing  research  and  experimentation  has  re- 
sulted in  the  introduction  of  many  outstanding  products  such  as  Thick  Butt 
Shingles,  Shatter  Resistant  Coating,  Quick  Setting  Lap  Cement,  and  numer- 
ous other  improvements. 

While  this  book  is  devoted  to  Bird  Built-up  Roofs,  it  is  of  interest  to  know 
that  Bird  manufactures  and  distributes  Asphalt  Mineral  Surfaced  Shingles 
and  Sidings,  Roll  Roofings,  Insulating  Materials  and  Wallboards,  Neponset

BIRD  BUILT-UP  ROOFINGS  for  all  purposes 

There  is  a  Bird  Built-Up  Roof  for  every  type  of  flat  roof  construction.  In  the  data 
and  specifications  given  on  the  following  pages  you  will  find  the  answer  to  positive 
roof  protection.  The  mineral  surfacing  protecting  the  waterproofing  elements  is  one 
of  the  many  specific  features  of  Bird  Built-Up  Roofs  that  provide  longer  life. 


ASPHALT  and  TAR  ROOF  TYPES 

Bird  Built-Up  Roofing  Specifications  are  designed  to  use  either  Bird  Roofing  Pitch 
or  Bird  Roofing  Asphalt  as  desired  by  the  Architect  to  meet  particular  conditions  or 
preferences.  Either  pitch  or  asphalt  may  be  used  as  the  waterproofing  element  for  flat 
roofs.  For  steep  roofs,  or  those  having  a  slope  of  over  two  inches  to  the  foot,  asphalt 
should  be  used  on  account  of  its  high  melting  point  and  stability.  Special  high  melt- 
ing type  asphalts  are  produced  by  Bird  to  be  used  on  steep  roofs.  These  are  of  the 
very  highest  quality  and  assure  long  life  for  the  roof. 


BONDED  ROOFS 

The  satisfaction  that  any  roof  will  give  depends  upon  two  important  factors: 
First,  the  materials  must  be  suitable  for  the  service  to  be  rendered.  Second,  and  equally 
important,  these  materials  must  be  correctly  applied.  When  both  these  conditions  are 
met,  satisfactory  results  are  assured.  Because  Bird  &  Son,  inc.,  has  carefully  covered 

these  conditions,  they  are  prepared  to  off'er  bonded  roofs  for  ten,  fifteen  or  twenty  ^  J 

years'  service. 


BIRD  BONDED  ROOFS 

Installed  only  by  accredited  Roofers 


A  properly  applied  roof  is  one  in  which  all  of  the  elements  entering  into  its  make- 
up are  bonded  together  into  one  solid  mass.  This  perfect  application  results  only 
through  experienced  workmanship.  Such  workmanship  is  made  possible  on  Bird 
Bonded  Roofs  because  of  the  careful  selection  of  only  accredited  roofers  of  unques-  ROOFINGS

CAREY  SPECIFICATIONS 

FOR  APPLICATION  OF 

ROOF  INSULATION 


The  following  Carey  Master  Built-up  Roofing  Specifications 
are  especially  adapted  for  application  over  insulated  wood,  con- 
crete and  steel  decks  (asphalt  primer  called  for  in  roofing 
specifications  to  be  omitted  unless  called  for  in  the  insulation 
specification)  : 

(1)  20-year  Slag  or  Gravel  surfaced:  All  types  called  for 
under  Carey  Master  Built-up  Roofing  Specification  No.  3. 

(2)  10-year  Slag  or  Gravel  surfaced :  All  types  called  for 
under  Carey  Master  Built-up  Roofing  Specification  No.  4. 


Over 


Wood,  Concrete  & 


Steel  Decks 


(3)  20-year  Dur-A-Seal  Mineral  Surfaced :  All  types 
called  for  under  Carey  Alaster  Built-up  Roofing  Specifica- 
tion No.  7. 

(4)  10-ycar  Dur-A-Seal  Mineral  Surfaced :  All  types  called 
for  under  Carey  Alaster  Built-up  Roofing  Specification  No.  8. 

(5)  20-year  smooth  Asphalt  finished:  All  types  called  for 
under  Carey  Master  Built-up  Roofing  Specification  No.  11. 

(6)  10-ycar  smooth  Asphalt  finished :  All  types  called  for 
under  Carey  Master  Built-up  Roofing  Specification  No.  12. 


GENERAL  REQUIREMENTS 


When  smooth  top  Asphalt  finished  roofs,  Dur-A-Seal  Mineral 
surfaced  roofs  or  any  other  type  roof  not  surfaced  with  Slag 
or  Gravel,  is  specified  for  application  over  insulated  poured 
or  pre-cast  concrete  decks,  the  deck  shall  be  primed  with  a 
coat  of  cold  Asphalt  Primer,  using  approximately  one  gallon 
per  100  sq.  ft.,  before  the  first  mopping  of  Asphalt,  which  is 
to  bond  the  insulation  in  place,  is  applied. 

Bitumen  required  for  application  of  roof  insulation  shall  be 
in  addition  to  the  total  quantity  specified  for  use  in  applying 
the  built-up  roofing  specification. 

The  roof  deck  shall  be  acceptable  to  the  roofing  contractor 


and  shall  be  thoroughly  clean,  dry  and  otherwise  conform  to 
the  accepted  standard  of  deck  construction  providing  a  suitable 
surface  over  which  to  apply  a  built-up  roof. 

At  the  end  of  each  day's  work  the  exposed  edges  of  the 
insulation  shall  be  protected  from  the  elements  with  a  strip  of 
15-lb.  Saturated  Felt  bonded  to  the  deck  and  extended  over 
exposed  edges  of  insulation  with  a  mopping  of  hot  Bitumen. 

The  application  of  the  built-up  roof  shall  follow  closely  the 
application  of  the  insulation  and  at  no  time  shall  the  built-up 
roof  be  applied  when  the  surface  of  the  insulation  is  moist 
or  damp. 


SPECIAL  CONSTRUCTION  RECOMMENDATIONS 


The  constructions  recommended  in  this  note,  while  not  a  part 
of  this  insulation  specification,  are  suggested  for  use  on  jobs 
where  improved  construction  is  desired  at  small  additional  cost. 

(A)  Concrete  Decks — A  mopping  of  hot  Bitumen  and  a  lay- 
er of  15-lb.  Saturated  Felt  applied  to  the  deck  before  insulation 
is  applied  provides  a  better  base  and  a  dryer  bonding  surface 
for  the  insulation  than  otherwise  would  be  provided  if  insula- 
tion was  applied  directly  over  the  concrete. 

(B)  Water  Stops — When  insulation  is  applied  to  all  types  of 
decks  it  may  be  divided  into  sections  by  means  of  water  stops 
or  seal  courses  consisting  of  strips  of  15-lb.  Saturated  Felt 
approximately  IOV2  ins.  wide.  One  half  the  width  of  a  Satu- 
rated Felt  strip  is  bonded  to  the  deck  with  hot  Bitumen,  the 
other  half  is  extended  over  the  edges  and  on  to  the  surface 
of  the  insulation  and  secured  to  same  with  a  mopping  of  hot 
Bitumen. 

These  water  stops  or  seal  courses  should  be  placed  at  in- 
tervals of  approximately  30  feet  in  both  directions  and  at  all 
outside  edges  of  insulation,  thereby  preventing  the  danger  of 
water  from  possible  leaks  traveling  from  one  section  of  the 
insulation  to  another. 

SPECIFICATION  FOR  INSULATED  WOOD  DECKS 

The  wood  deck  shall  first  be  covered  with  two  layers  of 
Red  Rosin  Sized  Sheathing  Paper  weighing  approximately  5 
lbs.  per  100  sq.  ft.  Sheets  shall  be  lapped  approximately  19  ins. 
at  the  side  and  end  laps  and  secured  to  the  deck  by  occasional 
nailing.  Over  this  surface  a  layer  of  approved  insulation  shall 
be  applied  strictly  according  to  architect's  or  manufacturer's 
specifications  and  secured  to  the  deck  with  large  headed  roofing 
nails.  (If  additional  layers  of  roof  insulation  are  specified, 
joints  between  each  subsequent  layer  shall  be  broken  and  layers 
of  insulation  shall  be  bonded  together  and  firmly  embedded 
into  a  solid  mopping  of  hot  Bitumen.)  Over  the  surface  of 
the  applied  insulation  the  built-up  roof,  type  as  specified,  shall 
be  applied. 

All  Bitumen  used  in  applying  insulation  shall  be  of  the  same 
type  as  is  used  in  the  construction  of  the  built-up  roof. 


SPECIFICATION  FOR  INSULATED  CONCRETE  DECKS 

The  concrete  deck  shall  first  be  covered  with  a  solid  mop- 
ping of  hot  Bitumen.  (When  Asphalt  roofs  are  specified  which 
are  not  to  be  surfaced  with  Slag  or  Gravel  the  deck  shall  be 
primed  before  the  mopping  of  hot  Asphalt  is  applied.)  Into 
the  solid  mopping  of  Bitumen,  while  hot,  shall  be  firmly  em- 
bedded a  layer  of  approved  roof  insulation  applied  strictly 
according  to  architect's  or  manufacturer's  specifications.  (If 
additional  layers  of  roof  insulation  are  specified,  joints  between 
each  subsequent  layer  shall  be  broken  and  layers  of  insulation 
shall  be  bonded  together  and  firmly  embedded  into  a  solid 
mopping  of  hot  Bitumen.)  Over  the  surface  of  the  applied  in- 
sulation the  built-up  roof,  type  as  specified,  shall  be  applied. 

All  Bitumen  used  in  applying  insulation  shall  be  of  the  same 
type  as  is  used  in  the  construction  of  the  built-up  roof. 

SPECIFICATION  FOR  INSULATED  STEEL  DECKS 

Sections  of  the  steel  deck  formed  in  sheets  shall  provide 
rigidity  and  strength  and  not  be  subject  to  excessive  deflection. 
Steel  deck  shall  be  free  from  perforations  which  will  allow 
hot  Bitumen  to  drip  through  the  deck  and  shall  be  free  from 
bolt  heads,  purlin  clips  and  insulation  cleats  and  other  objec- 
tionable projections.  Deck  and  fixtures  shall  have  a  shop  coat 
of  paint.  Roofing  specifications  constructed  of  Coal  Tar  Pitch 
are  not  recommended  for  application  over  steel  deck  con- 
struction. 

The  steel  deck  shall  first  be  covered  with  a  solid  mopping 
of  Asphalt  into  which,  while  hot,  shall  be  firmly  embedded  a 
layer  of  approved  roof  insulation  applied  strictly  according  to 
architect's  or  manufacturer's  specifications.  On  roof  decks 
having  an  incline  exceeding  %  in.  in  12  ins.  insulation  shall 
be  secured  in  place  with  metal  clips  or  bolts  in  addition  to  the 
bond  provided  by  the  Asphalt.  (If  additional  layers  of  roof 
insulation  are  specified,  joints  between  each  subsequent  layer 
shall  be  broken  and  layers  of  insulation  shall  be  bonded  to- 
gether and  firmly  embedded  into  a  solid  mopping  of  hot  As- 
phalt.) 

All  Asphalt  used  in  the  application  of  insulation  for  bonding 
roofing  to  the  surface  of  the  insulation,  when  applied  over 
steel  deck,  shall  have  a  minimum  melting  point  of  190°  F.  Over 
the  surface  of  the  applied  insulation  the  built-up  roof,  type  as 
specified,  shall  be  applied.

CAREY  BONDED  FLASHING  DETAILS 


Carey  Approved  Flashing  Detail  No.  1 

Recommended  for  use  on  brick  or  concrete  parapet  walls  not 
exceeding  36  in.  in  height,  on  which  coi)ing  is  to  he  applied 


Carey  Approved  Flashing  Detail  No.  2 

Recommended  for  use  on  concrete  parapet  walls  exceeding  36  in. 
in  height 


Carey  Approved  Flashing  Detail  No.  3 

Recommended  for  use  on  brick  parapet  walls  exceeding  36  in. 
in  height 


The  three  flashing  details  shown  at  the  left  are  adapt- 
able to  new  or  replacement  work  and  may  be  modified 
to  meet  almost  any  unusual  condition.  The  methods 
of  installation  are  clearly  indicated.  The  text  below  de- 
scribes the  materials  used  in  the  flashing  and  the  laying 
of  the  sheets  over  the  wood  cant  strip. 

Corey  Fabricated  Flashing  Membrane 

A  two-ply  preformed  Fabricated  Flashing  Membrane 
consisting  of  laminations  of  Waterproofed  Cotton  Fab- 
ric and  Feltex,  bonded  together  at  the  factory  with  an 
especially  blended  and  refined  asphalt. 

Weight  of  sheet  per  100  sq.  ft  Approx.  32  lbs. 

Stretch  before  fracture  Approx.  10% 

Mullen  test  for  tensile  strength 

against  felt  side  of  Membrane.  .  .Approx.  190  lbs. 

On  account  of  the  elasticity,  stretch,  strength  and  ex- 
treme flexibility  of  this  material  it  will  conform  readily 
and  bond  securely  with  hot  asphalt  to  parapet  walls, 
angles  and  corners,  thus  tending  to  eliminate  all  dan- 
ger of  cracks  and  breaks  found  in  ordinary  flashing  ma- 
terial as  the  result  of  misuse,  movement  in  the  roof 
deck  or  settling  of  the  building. 

Wood  Cant  Strip 

Wood  cant  strip  shall  be  constructed  out  of  a  diag- 
onal half  of  a  4x4  which  shall  be  placed  securely  in  the 
angle  of  the  wall  and  cemented  in  place  with  a  mopping 
of  hot  asphalt  on  hard  surfaced  decks  or  toe  nailed  at 
the  lower  edge  of  the  cant  strip  on  wood  decks. 

The  heavy  base  sheet  and  all  top  sheets  of  the  built-up 
roof  shall  extend  to  the  top  edge  of  the  wood  cant  strip 
and  be  secured  in  place  with  nails  driven  through  flat 
tin  caps,  after  which  a  12-in.  strip  of  Carey  Fabricated 
Flashing  Membrane  shall  be  laid  parallel  with  the  cant 
strip  extending  3  ins.  up  on  the  vertical  side  of  the  para- 
pet wall  and  approximately  3l^  ins.  out  on  the  roof  and 
secured  in  place  w^th  a  mopping  of  hot  asphalt. 

The  rest  of  the  flashing  construction  shall  be  installed 
in  accordance  with  Carey  Approved  Flashing  Details 
Nos.  (1)  (2)  (3). 

Alternate — Plastic  Flashings 

As  an  alternate  construction  it  will  be  satisfactory 
to  substitute  Carey  Flashing  Cement  in  place  of  hot 
Asphalt  as  the  bonding  material  on  the  above  Flashing 
constructions. 

On  those  details  where  metal  Counter  Flashings  are 
specified,  if  Carey  Flashing  Cement  is  used  as  the 
bonding  material,  it  will  be  satisfactory  to  use  as  a 
Counter  Flashing  over  the  top  edge  of  the  base  Flashing 
a  four  inch  wide  strip  of  saturated  cotton  fabric  laid 
in  Carey  Flashing  Cement  and  trowel  coated  with  same 
material.

FLINTKOTE  BUILT-UP  ROOFING 


Engineering  Services  by  Roofing  Engineers 

Flintkote  Sales  Engineers  are  prepared  to  furnish  definite 
recommendations  as  to  the  correct  type  of  roof  to  be  used  with 
any  type  of  construction.  Any  special  problem  may  be  referred 
to  them  with  assurance  of  co-operation. 

Built-up  Roofing  Materials  and  Application 

I  Flintkote  Built-up  Roofing  Alaterials  are  manufactured  in  oiir 
own  plants  according  to  our  strict  specifications.  With  this 
control  of  manufacture,  quality  of  product  is  certain  and  iden- 
tical in  all  respects  from  all  of  our  factories. 
I  Flintkote  Bonded  Built-up  Roofs  are  applied  only  by  Flint- 
kote approved  roofers  insuring  a  roof  built  to  exact  specifica- 
tions as  required  by  The  Flintkote  Company. 

Types  and  Finishes  of  Built-up  Roofs 

Flintkote  specifications  have  been  made  complete  by  incor- 
porating the  following  types  of  built-up  roofing  construction, 
each  for  a  specified  term  of  years : 

(1)  Smooth  Surfaced  Asphalt  Roofs;  (2)  Gravel  or  Slag 
Surfaced  Asphalt  Roofs;  (3)  Crushed  Slate  Surfaced  Asphalt 
Roofs;  (4)  Coal  Tar  Felt  and  Pitch  Roofs. 

All  of  the  above  roofs  will  he  bonded  if  desired. 


Bond  for  Built-up  Roofs  and  Flashings 

If  a  Flintkote  Bond  is  required,  the  roof  shall  be  inspected 
by  an  authorized  Flintkote  Inspector.  Such  bonds  will  be  given 
only  when  the  roof  is  laid  by  an  approved  Flintkote  Franchise 
Roofer  in  strict  accordance  with  specifications. 

Flintkote  Standard  Flashing  Specifications  used  in  conjunc- 
tion with  a  bonded  roof  specification,  will  carry  a  flashing 
endorsement  for  a  period  of  years  corresponding  to  the  type  of 
flashing  used. 

Viskalt  Compound 

Viskalt  Compound  is  an  especially  refined  asphalt  used  where 
a  superior  product  is  desired  and  is  particularly  required  for 
smooth  surface  roofs. 

Flintkote  Viskalt  Saturated  Felt 

Viskalt  Saturated  Felt  is  the  highest  quality  type  of  felt  in 
both  material  and  manufacture  for  use  in  built-up  roofing.  The 
high  quality  of  this  felt  is  maintained  because  of  the  fact  that 
it  is  super-saturated  with  the  same  type  of  bitumen  used  in 
the  production  of  Viskalt.  This  felt  carries  the  Underwriters* 
Label  as  provided  for  built-up  roofing  purposes. 

Made  in  weights  of  14  lbs.,  15  lbs.  and  30  lbs.  per  100  sq.  ft.

laid  dry.  Apply  insulation  mopped  solid  in  pitch  and  over  insulation 
apply  respective  specification  as  over  non-combustible  decks.  Where 
more  than  one  layer  of  insulation  is  used  each  successive  layer  shall 
be  mopped  solidly  with  pitch  to  the  preceding  layer.  Where  incline  is 
over  3  in.  per  foot  insulation  should  also  be  nailed  into  deck. 

Insulation  Used  Under  Asphalt  Types  of  Roofs — Over  Wood 
Decks — Normal  Conditions — Apply  two  layers  of  sheathing  paper  laid  dry. 
Nail  insulation  into  deck  and  over  insulation  apply  respective  specifica- 
tions as  over  non-combustible  deck. 

Humid  Conditions  in  the  Building  Itself — Before  application  of  insulation 
apply  two  layers  of  15-lb.  felt  laid  dry,  lapped  19  in.  Apply  insulation 
mopped  solid  in  asphalt  and  over  insulation  apply  respective  specification 
as  over  non-combustible  decks.  Where  more  than  one  layer  of  insulation 
is  used  each  successive  layer  shall  be  mopped  solidly  with  asphalt  to 
the  preceding  layer.  Where  incline  is  over  3  in.  per  foot  insulation  should 
also  be  nailed  into  deck. 

Insulation  Used  Under  Asphalt  or  Fitch  and  Gravel  Roofs — 
Over  Non-comhustihle  Decks — Normal  Conditions — Insulation  shall  be 


solidly  cemented  to  deck  which  has  previously  been  primed  and  on 
inclines  over  3  in.  per  foot  nailing  should  be  provided.  Where  more 
than  one  layer  of  insulation  is  used,  each  successive  layer  shall  be 
cemented  solidly  with  asphalt  to  the  preceding  layer  if  an  asphalt 
specification  is  used  (or  with  pitch  if  a  pitch  and  gravel  specification 
is  used).  Over  insulation  apply  respective  specification  as  over  non- 
combustible  decks. 

Humid  Conditions  in  the  Building  Itself — Over  the  primed  deck  apply  a 
heavy  mopping  of  roofing  asphalt  and  embed  two  layers  of  15-lb.  felt 
solidly  cemented  with  asphalt  if  an  asphalt  specification  is  used  (or 
with  pitch  if  a  pitch  and  gravel  specification  is  used).  On  inclines  of 
3  in.  per  foot,  nailing  should  be  provided.  Where  more  than  one  layer 
is  used,  each  successive  layer  should  be  cemented  solidly  with  asphalt 
or  pitch  to  the  preceding  layer.  Over  insulation  apply  respective 
specification  as  over  non-combustible  decks. 


Requirements  Where  Steel  Decks  are  Used

FLINTKOTE  ASPHALT  EMULSIONS 

Flintkote  Asphalt  Emulsions  for  Waterproofing,  Dampproofing, 
Plaster  Bond,  Protective  Coatings,  Insulation  Protection, 
Roof  Coatings,  Industrial  Floors 


Old  and  New  Methods  of  Applying  Asphalts: 
Their  Advantages  and  Disadvantages 

Through  constant  experiments  in  the  Flintkote  Laboratories, 
a  method  of  preparing  asphalt  for  cold  application  on  any  clean 
surface  has  been  produced.  This  is  known  as  the  Emulsion 
Process,  and  offsets  certain  objections  to  the  old  methods  of 
application.  The  asphalt  is  carried  in  susi)ension  in  water. 

The  Emulsion  Process  does  away  with  hot  kettles,  handling  of 
hot  and  dangerous  material,  fire  risks,  and  certain  bad  weathering 
qualities,  and  it  allows  for  hea\y  applications  which  cannot  be 
made  when  cutbacks  are  used.  It  allows  material  to  be  applied  to 
damp  surfaces  whereas  other  methods  require  dry  surfaces. 
It  also  eliminates  the  possibilities 
of  odors  and  fumes  which  will 
taint  meats,  dairy  products,  etc., 
since  there  are  no  solvents  or  cut- 
backs involved. 

Method  of 
Emulsification 

Emulsification  of  asphalt  is  the 
process  of  producing  minute  par- 
ticles of  asphalt  uniformly  sus- 
pended in  cold  water  by  the  addi- 
tion of  certain  colloids.  The  type 
of  colloid  used  depends  upon  the 
purpose  for  which  the  emulsion  is 
to  be  used.  The  particles  of  asphalt 
vary  from  1/  to  1/100,000  of 
an  inch  in  diameter  and  are  held 
definitely  in  suspension  and  will 
not  settle  in  the  container.

How  Flintkote  Asphalt  Emulsions  Act  When 
Applied 

When  Flintkote  Asphalt  Emulsions  are  applied  to  any  sur- 
face, the  water  rapidly  evaporates  and  particles  of  asphalt 
coalesce,  or  run  together,  to  form  a  continuous  film  of  asphalt. 
Of  heavy,  paint-like  consistency,  the  material  is  easily  and  eco- 
nomically applied  in  a  limited  number  of  coats.  Using  water 
as  the  vehicle  for  the  asphalt,  the  emulsion  can  be  applied  to 
damp  surfaces;  in  fact,  dry  surfaces  should  be  dampened  before 
applying  the  emulsion,  for  the  obtaining  of  greatest  bonding 
qualities.  This  is  one  of  the  chief  advantages  in  an  application 
of  emulsion. 

It  was  early  appreciated  that  one 
emulsion  could  not  serve  as  a 
"cure  all"  for  every  type  of  use. 
It  has,  therefore,  been  the  policy 
of  The  Flintkote  Company 
to  produce  as  great  a  variety  of 
emulsion  products  as  are  required 
to  meet  to  best  advantage  the  con- 
ditions encountered.  As  a  result 
of  years  of  research,  over  twenty 
different  emulsions  are  being  man- 
ufactured in  order  to  meet  the  in- 
creasing demand  for  specific  per- 
formance and  characteristics.  The 
Flinkote  Company  through  its 
Engineering  Service  is  therefore 
in  position  to  offer  unbiased  ad- 
vice regarding  the  best  emulsion 
for  use  under  any  service  con- 
ditions.

JOHNS-MANVILLE 


PRODU  CTS 


Fo 


OR  78  years,  Johns-Manville  has  been  mining  and 
manufacturing  products  from  asbestos,  steadily  acquir- 
ing, through  those  years,  a  reputation  for  quality  .  .  . 
quality  based  not  only  upon  exceptional  facilities  for 
securing  the  highest  grades  of  raw  material  ...  as  one  would  expect 
from  the  largest  asbestos  mine  in  the  world  .  .  .  but  also  the  quality 
which  results  from  years  of  research  and  experience  in  fabricating 
asbestos  in  its  eleven  huge  factories  throughout  the  United  States. 

For  sixty  of  those  78  years,  Johns-Manville  has  combined  the  facili- 
ties of  a  great  mine  with  the  expert  knowledge  and  skill  of  a  large 
manufacturer  in  the  making  of  asbestos  roofings,  controlling  every 
step  from  mine  to  market,  to  the  distinct  advantage  of  every  present 
or  prospective  user  of  a  Johns-Manville  Built-up  Roof. 

In  the  pages  which  follow  are  discussed  the  inherent  qualities 
which  make  a  roof  dependable,  long-lived  and  fire-resistant,  and  the 
lasting  benefits  which  will  accrue  from  the  use  of  proper  materials, 
properly  applied. 


JOHNS-MANVILLE  BONDED  BUILT-UP  ROOFS

Realizing  that  no  one  type  of  built-up  roof  can  be  acceptable  or  usable  under  all  con- 
ditions, and  recognizing  the  factor  of  individual  preference,  Johns-Manville  has  devel- 
oped a  number  of  different  types  of  built-up  roofs  and  is  in  a  position  to  furnish  a  roof 
to  meet  practically  any  condition  or  personal  preference. 

The  various  standard  J-M  Built-up  Roofs  are  tabulated  on  pages  8  and  9,  with  ratings 
of  the  Underwriters'  Laboratories,  Inc.,  and  are  classified  on  the  basis  of  the  kind  of  felt 
and  number  of  layers  used  in  their  construction. 


Johns-Manville  Smooth-Surfaced  Asbestos  Built-up  Roofs 


While  Johns-Manville  furnishes  built-up  roofs  of  every 
type,  the  smooth-surfaced  asbestos  roof  is  recommended  as 
the  one  best  designed  to  stand  up  under  all  conditions  and 
to  give  complete  trouble-free  protection  for  the  life  of  the 
building. 

J-M  Smooth-Surfaced  Asbestos  Built-up  Roofs  are  the 
outcome  of  several  decades  of  study  and  experience  in  pro- 
ducing durable,  fireproof,  weatherproof,  lightweight  roofs 
at  a  moderate  cost.  They  are  suitable  for  practically  every 
type  of  industrial  building,  warehouse,  office  building,  hotel, 
hospital  and  apartment  house. 

They  are  built  up  of  alternating  layers  of  asphalt-sat- 
urated asbestos  felt  and  roofing  asphalt. 


J-M  Asbestos  Felts,  with  which  J-M  Bonded  Asbestos 
Roofs  are  built  up,  will  not  support  combustion  even  when 
impregnated  and  coated  with  asphalt.  The  Underwriters' 
Laboratories,  Inc.,  give  Class  A  ratings  to  both  J-M  Super 
Class  A  and  Class  A  Asbestos  Roofs.  They  are  fire-resistant 
to  the  highest  degree. 

J-M  Bonded  Roofing  Asphalt — a  relatively  recent  devel- 
opment in  asphalt  processing  which  has  proved  to  be  far 
superior  to  ordinary  asphalts — is  used  on  all  J-M  Bonded 
Asbestos  Roofs.  Tests  at  the  Johns-Manville  Research  Labo- 
ratories at  Manville,  N.  J.,  have  demonstrated  that  the  un- 
usual ability  of  J-M  Bonded  Asphalt  to  stand  up  under  all 
conditions  of  service  will  add  years  to  the  life  of  a  roof. 


Other  Types  of  J-M  Bonded  Roofs 

In  addition  to  asbestos  roofs,  Johns-Manville  also  supplies  Combination  Roofs,  com- 
posed of  a  rag  base  felt  and  asbestos  finishing  felts,  and  a  complete  line  of  slag  or  gravel- 
surfaced  roofs,  employing  tar-saturated  asbestos  felts,  tar-saturated  rag  felts,  or  asphalt- 
saturated  rag  felts. 

All  these  types  of  J-M  Bonded  Roofs  are  included  in  the  tables  on  pages  8  and  9. 


Approved  Roofing  Contractors 

As  the  best  results  are  obtained  only  when  the  proper 
roofing  is  correctly  laid,  Johns-Manville  has  appointed 
Approved  Roofing  Contractors  throughout  the  country,  bas- 
ing these  appointments  on  experience,  integrity  and  finan- 
cial responsibility. 

Roof  Inspection 

Johns-Manville  maintains  a  corps  of  inspectors  whose 
services  are  available  in  connection  with  bonded  built-up 
roofs.  This  service  is  required  in  connection  with  every 
roof  which  is  to  be  bonded  and  is  rendered  before,  during, 
and  after  application. 


Surety  Roofing  Bonds 

All  Johns-Manville  Built-up  Roofs  of  whatever  type  will, 
when  desired,  be  covered  by  a  bond  of  the  National  Surety 
Corp.,  guaranteeing  the  performance  of  the  particular  roof 
for  a  period  of  from  ten  to  twenty  years,  depending  on 
the  type  of  roof  applied.  This  bond  is  issued  only  on  roofs 
laid  by  Johns-Manville  Approved  Roofing  Contractors  and 
in  connection  with  Johns-Manville  inspection  service. 

Where  Johns-Manville  Flashing  Materials  are  used  in 
conjunction  with  Johns-Manville  Roofing,  a  flashing  en- 
dorsement for  a  ten-year  period  will  be  attached  to  and 
become  part  of  the  bond,  under  the  same  conditions  im- 
posed for  the  bonding  of  the  roof. 


Johns-Manville  recom- 
mends the  smooth-sur- 
faced asbestos  roof  as 
the  best  assurance  of 
complete,  trouble-free 
protection  for  the  life  of 
the  building

Why  a 

SMOOTH-SURFACED 
ASBESTOS  ROOF 

provides  the  best 

assurance  of 
roof  permanence 

Since  the  primary  purpose  of  a  roof  is  permanent  pro- 
tection from  the  elements,  it  is  obvious  that  a  good  roof 
must  not  only  shed  water,  it  must  stay  waterproof.  And,  for 
permanence,  it  must  also  be  proof  against  fire  and  decay. 

Scientific  research  has  found  no  waterproofing  agent  bet- 
ter than  asphalt,  which  has  been  proved  to  be  less  brittle  at 
low  temperatures  and  less  fluid  at  high  temperatures  than 
any  other  known  waterproofing  material.  Yet  there  are 
many  kinds  and  grades  of  asphalt.  In  the  eff'ort  to  secure 
the  permanence  requisite  in  a  good  roofing  asphalt,  J-M 
research  engineers  have  developed  a  processed  asphalt 
known  as  J-M  Bonded  Roofing  Asphalt,  which  has  shown 
marked  superiority  over  all  other  asphalts  ordinarily  used 
for  such  purpose. 

J-M  Bonded  Roofing  Asphalt 

In  a  series  of  scientific  tests  by  machine  weathering,  the 
J-M  Laboratories  subjected  samples  of  Bonded  Roofing 
Asphalt  and  other  commercial  asphalts  to  alternating  cycles 
of  exposure  to  heat,  rain  and  sub-zero  temperature,  equiva- 
lent to  ten  years  of  actual  service.  Although  the  samples 


After  water  spray,  arc  light  and  refrigeration,  representing 
rain,  heat  and  cold,  were  played  on  these  three  samples 
of  roofing  asphalts,  for  the  equivalent  of  10  years 
of  actual  weathering,  J-M  Bonded  Roofing  Asphalt 
(right)  was  still  as  good  as  new 


had  practically  similar  appearance  before  testing,  the 
illustration  above  shows  how  Bonded  Roofing  Asphalt  stood 
up  when  the  others  failed.  It  is  this  unusual  permanence 
which  qualifies  J-M  Bonded  Roofing  Asphalt  as  the  satis- 
factory waterproofing  agent  in  J-M  Bonded  Built-up  Roofs. 

However,  even  the  best  asphalt  cannot,  alone,  make  a 
good  roof.  There  must  be  a  flexible  reinforcement,  durable 
and  non-combustible,  which  can  itself  be  impregnated  with 


Asbestos — fibres  of  stone — fire- 
proof, rot-proof,  enduring — the 
base  of  a  good  built-up  roof. 
Crude  asbestos  fibres  are  here 
shown  still  attached  to  the  ser- 


asphalt  to  keep  it  waterproof,  and  which  at  the  same  time 
will  protect  the  asphalt  from  its  one  cause  of  deterioration 
— the  drying-out  action  of  the  sun.  Asbestos  felt  meets  these 
requirements  exactly. 

How  Asbestos  Felt  preserves 
the  waterproofing  asphalt 

The  characteristic  difference  between  asbestos  fibre  and 
all  other  natural  fibres  is  that  asbestos  fibre  is  a  solid  fila- 
ment, not  a  hollow  tube.  There  can  be  no  capillary  action 
through  it.  This  makes  asbestos  felt  highly  difficult  to  im- 
pregnate, since  the  waterproofing  must  be  forced  between 
and  around  the  fibres,  coating  them  and  filling  all  the  inter- 
stices, rather  than  their  soaking  it  up  with  the  blotter- 
like  effect  of  organic  fibres. 

But  this  very  lack  of  capillary  action  and  consequent  re- 
sistance to  impregnation  is  the  source  of  the  great  protec- 
tion which  asbestos  felt  affords  the  vital  waterproofing 
asphalt,  once  the  felt  is  impregnated  with  it.  The  essential 
oils  of  the  asphalt  are  protected  from  evaporation  due  to 
the  continuous  drying-out  action  of  the  sun,  which  so  rapidly 
deteriorates  other  types  of  roofing,  and  the  asbestos  built- 
up  roof  stays  waterproof.  The  accompanying  diagram  of 
the  security  afforded  by  asbestos  felt  is  self-explanatory. 

When  the  asbestos  felt  has  been  impregnated  with  J-M 
Bonded  Roofing  Asphalt,  and  Bonded  Roofing  Asphalt  used 
as  the  cementing  layer  between  the  plies  of  felt  forming 


the  built-up  roof,  the  asphalt  is  preserved  in  practically  its 
original  condition.  The  result  is  a  smooth-surfaced  roof 
that  stays  waterproof  for  years  with  minimum  upkeep. 

Proof  against  fire  or  decay 

But  asbestos  does  more  than  merely  protect  from  weather. 
Asbestos  is  fire-proof  and  rot-proof  and  thus  adds  the  other 
two  essentials  to  roof  permanence.  Its  very  existence — in 
the  oldest  igneous  rocks — proves  its  endurance  against  the 
destructive  forces  of  fire,  time  and  the  elements. 

Asbestos  felt  is  virtually  felted  fibres  of  stone.  It  cannot 
decay;  it  will  not  burn.  Exhaustive  tests  by  The  Under- 
writers' Laboratories,  which  included  exposure  to  radiant 
heat,  burning  brands  and  direct  flame,  have  proved  that 
asbestos  felt,  even  when  impregnated  and  coated  with  as- 
phalt, as  used  in  a  J-M  Built-up  Roof,  will  not  support 
combustion.  J-M  Super  Class  A  and  Class  A  Asbestos  Roofs 
are  so  fire-resistant  that  they  carry  the  Underwriters'  Class 
A  rating,  which  takes  the  base  rate  of  insurance. 

The  attitude  of  insurance  authorities  toward  any  build- 
ing material  is  of  special  interest,  not  alone  because  it  serves 
as  a  reliable  index  to  the  fire-resistance  of  the  material  and 
consequent  favorable  insurance  rates,  but  also,  by  logical 
inference,  it  is  a  recognition  of  the  permanence  of  the  mate- 
rial in  question.  Thus  their  highest  rating  accorded  a  J-M 
Smooth-surfaced  Asbestos  Roof  is  additional  assurance  of 
roof  permanence.

6  GOOD  REASONS 

FOR  AN 

INSULATED 

ROOF 

J-M  fCiqid  Roofinsul 

•  Prevents  condensation  and  roof  drip 

•  Protects  the  deck  against  rot  and  corrosion 

•  Prevents  dannage  to  roofing  felts  through  deck 

movennent 

•  Provides  closer  interior  temperature  control 

•  Improves  working  conditions 

•  Saves  fuel 

Insulation  on  industrial,  commercial  and  institutional 
buildings  is  rapidly  gaining  acceptance  as  a  decidedly  eco- 
nomical investment. 

In  connection  with  its  Bonded  Built-up  Roofs,  Johns- 
Manville  recommends  insulation  with  J-M  Rigid  Roofinsul 
for  the  following  reasons: 

First:  It  prevents  condensation  on  the  under  side  of  the 
deck  and  eliminates  discoloration  of  ceilings  and  the  an- 
noyance and  damage  caused  by  roof  drip. 

Regardless  of  how  carefully  a  wood  deck  may  be  con- 
structed, vapors  penetrate  the  planking,  condense  on  the 
underside  of  the  built-up  roof  and  rot  starts  at  the  top, 
unseen,  and  works  down.  While  the  problem  of  rot  can  be 
eliminated  by  the  use  of  concrete,  that  of  condensation  and 
roof-drip  remains. 

When  air  comes  in  contact  with  a  cooler  surface,  such  as 
the  underside  of  a  roof,  its  temperature  is  lowered.  If  the 
temperature  of  the  surface  is  below  the  dew  point  of  the 


Applying  J-M  Rigid  Roof- 
insul  in  three  '/j"  layers. 
Roof  insulation  not  only 
saves  fuel  and  assures 
comfortable  interior  tem- 
peratures, but  also  pro- 
tects both  the  roof  deck 
and  the  built-up  roof 


water  vapor  in  the  air,  the  excess  moisture  is  deposited  on 
the  surface  as  condensation.  Insulation  of  the  proper  thick- 
ness will  keep  the  temperature  of  the  surface  above  the  dew 
point  and  prevent  the  deposition  of  moisture. 

Second:  By  preventing  condensation,  it  protects  the  deck 
against  rot  and  corrosion.  When  the  deck  is  of  concrete  or 
other  non-combustible  material,  J-M  Rigid  Roofinsul  re- 
duces the  danger  of  cracking  (commonly  caused  by  sudden 
temperature  changes)  and  thereby  tends  to  prevent  mois- 
ture from  reaching  the  reinforcing  steel  members. 

Third:  It  provides  protection  to  the  roofing  felts  them- 
selves. All  roof  decks  move  to  some  extent  under  tempera- 
ture changes.  When  this  cycle  of  alternate  expansion  and 
contraction  continues  over  a  long  period  of  time,  any  cracks 
in  the  deck  may  eventually  be  transmitted  to  the  built-up 
roof  unless  there  is  an  intervening  layer  of  insulation.  J-M 
Rigid  Roofinsul  not  only  minimizes  movement  of  the  deck 
by  keeping  its  temperature  more  uniform,  but  also  provides 
sufficient  resiliency  to  take  up  strains  due  to  any  movement 
which  does  occur  and  prevent  their  transmission  to  the 
felts,  thus  prolonging  the  life  of  the  roof. 

Four+h:  It  permits  closer  control  over  interior  tempera- 
tures both  in  summer  and  winter,  assuring  more  comfort- 
able, uniform  working  conditions  throughout  the  year. 
Uniform  interior  temperatures  are  also  a  vital  necessity 
in  the  operation  of  many  modern  industrial  processes. 

Fifth:  It  effectively  retards  the  passage  of  heat  through 
the  roofs,  thus  saving  on  fuel  and  air  conditioning  bills. 
See  table  on  opposite  page. 

Sixth:  On  new  construction,  it  makes  it  possible  to  re- 
duce appreciably  the  investment  in  heating  and  air  condi- 
tioning equipment. 


J-M  RIGID  ROOFINSUL 

J-M  Rigid  Roofinsul  was  designed  especially  for  use  as 
insulation  over  roof  decks,  principally  under  J-M  Bonded 
Asbestos  Built-up  Roofs.  It  is  light  in  weight  and  has  a 
high  insulating  value,  and  is  also  rigid  and  structurally 
strong.  J-M  Rigid  Roofinsul  has  a  high  resistance  to  mois- 
ture absorption.  It  lasts  for  years  in  the  open  and,  when 
covered  with  a  J-M  Bonded  Asbestos  Roof,  will  last  as  long 
as  the  roof  itself. 

Any  desired  number  of  layers  of  J-M  Rigid  Roofinsul 
can  be  installed  to  give  any  needed  insulating  efficiency, 
without  adding  appreciably  to  the  weight  of  the  roof. 

J-M  Rigid  Roofinsul  is  furnished  24"  x  48".  The  standard 
thickness  is  %".  If  sheets  of  greater  thickness  than  l^"  are 
desired,  two  or  more  sheets  are  stapled  together  with  a  %" 
ship-lap  joint  on  all  four  edges.  Weight  approximately  0.8 
lb.  per  sq.  ft.,  l^"  thick. 


J-M  4-ply  Asbestos  Roof  applied  on  old  roof  over  insulation.  Specifi- 
cations Nos.  104,  105  or  108  (see  tables).  Bonded  for  20  years

To  protect  the  most  critical  areas  of  the  roof,  Johns-Manville 
has  developed  the  Asbestile  System  of  Flashing,  a  method  that  has 
proved  effective  not  only  in  withstanding  weather,  but  also  in 
maintaining  a  waterproof  joint  despite  the  natural  movement  of 
the  roof  deck. 

J-M  Asbestile  Flashing  is  bonded  in  place  with  J-M  Asbestile, 
a  mixture  of  asbestos  fibre,  high  quality  asphalt  and  a  hardening 
agent.  Asbestile  will  not  sag.  It  is  non-corrosive,  rotproof  and 
permanent.  It  becomes  a  component  part  of  the  wall,  unaffected 
by  expansion  and  contraction. 

"Through-the-Wall"  Flashing  provides 
greater  protection  than  any  other 
known  method 

In  "through-the-wall"  flashing  {illustrated  at  the  top,  left), 
asbestos  flashing  felts  are  applied  to  the  wall  in  2-ply  construction 
embedded  in  Johns-Manville  Bonded  Roofing  Asphalt,  each  layer 
nailed  to  the  primed  surface  of  the  wall  and  brought  out  over  the 
roofing  felts. 

The  edges  on  the  roof  are  reinforced  by  an  additional  felt  strip, 
also  embedded  in  Bonded  Asphalt.  The  upper  edges  of  the  base 
flashing  are  protected  by  strips  of  asphalt-saturated  fabric  and 
asbestos  felt  running  through  the  wall,  over  a  key,  and  extending 
down  over  the  base  flashing.  Each  of  these  strips  is  embedded  in 
J-M  Asbestile  and  the  top  felt  is  coated  with  Asbestile.  This  con- 
struction forms  a  complete  seal  for  the  built-up  roof  at  its  junction 
with  the  wall. 

Naturally  there  must  be  variations  in  flashing  methods  to  meet 
varying  constructions  and  different  wall  materials.  In  the  case  of  a 
concrete  parapet  wall  where  it  is  impossible  to  go  through  the  wall 
itself,  the  cap  flashing  is  carried  up  over  the  concrete  wall  and 
under  the  coping.  This  method  of  flashing  is  shown  in  the  center 
sketch  at  the  left. 

In  cases  where  metal  cap  flashing  is  used,  the  Johns-Manville 
base  flashing  is  installed  as  described  above  and  the  metal  cap 
flashing  should  extend  through  the  wall  for  adequate  protection, 
as  shown  in  the  lower  illustration. 


The  importance  of  flashing 
emphasizes  the  need  for 
competent  application 

It  is  obvious  that  inferior  or  short-cut  methods  of  flashing  will 
weaken  the  entire  roof  from  a  waterproofing  standpoint.  This  is 
another  reason  for  the  care  taken  in  selecting  Johns-Manville  Ap- 
proved Roofing  Contractors.  They  are  in  position  to  give  sound 
advice  on  the  best  method  of  flashing  for  the  particular  roof  con- 
struction. They  will  apply  the  flashings  in  accordance  with  Johns- 
Manville  recommendations,  thus  insuring  a  leakproof  and  fire- 
proof roof  at  every  point  on  its  entire  area. 


The  Johns-Manville — Holorib  Complete  Roof  Unit 


•  ROOF  DECK 

•  INSULATION 

•  BUILT-UP  ASBESTOS  ROOF 
All  in  One  Unit  Structure 

One  of  the  most  outstanding  developments  in  roof  con 
struction  utilizing  a  steel  deck  is  the  Johns-Manville  Insu 
lated  Roof  over  a  Fenestra  Holorib  Steel  Deck.  Roof  in 
sulation,  weatherproofing,  fireproofing  and  a  light-weight 
strong,  durable  deck  are  combined  in  one  unit  structure 

Because  it  is  of  steel,  the  Holorib  deck  is  inherently  dry 
The  triangular  rib  construction  not  only  provides  rigidity 
but  materially  reduces  the  amount  of  structural  steel  neces 
sary  to  secure  adequate  strength.  There  is  no  appreciable 
expansion  or  contraction;  nor  can  the  deck  warp  or  burn. 

Bonded  to  this  steel  deck  with  J-M  Roofing  Asphalt,  and 
further  secured  by  expanding  nails,  is  J-M  Rigid  Roofinsul, 
applied  to  the  desired  thickness.  And  over  these  insulating 
sheets  is  applied  a  fireproof,  permanent  Johns-Manville 
Asbestos  Built-up  Roof. 

A  Complete  Roof  Unit 

Here  is  a  roof  that  provides  every  quality  that  goes  to 
make  an  ideal  complete  roof  structure.  The  Holorib  steel 
deck  combines  light  weight  and  unusual  strength  and  dur- 
ability with  an  appreciable  saving  in  structural  steel  re- 
quirements. J-M  Rigid  Roofinsul  cuts  down  the  initial  cost 


Illustrating  the  manner  In  which  the  Johns-Manville-Holorib  Complete  Roof 
Unit  is  constructed.  For  the  sake  of  clarity,  the  Holorib 
deck  has  been  exaggerated  in  size 


of  heating  equipment,  prevents  condensation  and  roof  drip, 
and  results  in  lower  fuel  bills,  more  uniform  interior  tem- 
peratures and  comfortable  working  conditions.  A  J-M 
Asbestos  Built-up  Roof  assures  lasting  protection  against 
weather  and  the  danger  of  roof-communicated  fires. 

But  J-M  Bonded  Asbestos  Roofs  are  not  limited  to  Fenes- 
tra Holorib  steel  decks.  They  can  be  applied  over  any  ap- 
proved steel  deck  provided  the  pitch  is  at  least  in.  to  the 
foot  and  that  at  least  one  ply  of  half-inch  thick  J-M  Rigid 
Roofinsul  is  first  applied  to  the  deck.

In  a  Johns-Manville  SANACOUSTIC-HOLORIB  ROOF  are  combined 
Ceiling,  Acoustical  Treatment.  Roof  Deck.  Insulation  and  Waterproofing 

In  this  type  of  J-M  Roof,  the  under  side  of  the  roof  slab 
forms  the  ceiling  surface  of  the  interior.  This  consists  of 
sheets  of  perforated  and  enameled  Holorib  metal,  securely 
fastened  to  the  purlins.  The  enamel  surface  provides  a 
pleasing,  attractive  ceiling  and  helps  to  reflect  diff"used 
light  rays.  The  perforations  are  unnoticeable  except  on 
close  examination. 

Above  these  perforated  sheets,  J-M  Rock  Cork  is  in- 
stalled as  the  sound-absorbing  medium.  Sound  waves  pass 
through  the  perforations  in  the  Holorib  and  are  absorbed 
by  the  acoustical  treatment.  By  absorbing  the  major  part 
of  sounds  produced  in  the  interior,  J-M  Acoustical  Treat- 
ment lowers  the  noise  level  to  a  point  where  it  is  not  detri- 
mental to  health,  comfort  or  efficiency. 

Over  the  deck,  J-M  Rigid  Roofinsul  and  a  J-M  Bonded 
Asbestos  Built-up  Roof  are  applied.

The  performance  of  Johns-Manville  Smooth-surfaced  Asbestos 
Built-up  Roofs  is  a  record  of  which  to  be  proud.  Here  are  photo- 
graphs which  were  taken  in    of  a  few  of  such  roofs  .  .  .  every 
one  of  which  has  had  a  service  life  of  20  years  or  longer  ...  and  all 
are  still  in  good  condition. 

Note  the  pleasing  gray  appearance  of  the  roofs.  As  has  been 
explained  on  page  5,  this  gray  surface  is  the  topmost  layer  of  the 
asbestos  fibres  in  the  asbestos  felt  which  blankets  the  vital  water- 
proofing asphalt  and  protects  it  from  the  deteriorating  action  of 
the  sun. 

In  addition  to  the  roofs  illustrated,  among  the  many  other  Johns- 
Manville  roofs  with  service  records  of  20  years  or  more,  are  the 
following  typical  examples:

THE  ADVANTAGES  OF  THE  FLAT  DECK  ROOFS 

Flat  roof  decks  are  economical  to  construct  and  maintain 
and  they  are  particularly  useful  on  two  or  three-story  build- 
ings erected  on  foundations  designed  to  carry  additional 
stories.  They  are  usually  more  pleasing  architecturally; 
they  often  permit  better  ventilation  and  they  make  possible 
the  high  and  low  bay  type  of  construction  which  delivers 
better  light  in  industrial  buildings. 

THE  ADVANTAGES  OF  COAL  TAR  PITCH  FOR 
FLAT  ROOFS 

Two  important  questions  should  be  asked  about  any  roof- 
ing to  be  applied  on  flat  decks: 

1.  Can  it  resist  prolonged  contact  with  water  without  de- 
teriorating ? 

2.  Does  it  have  the  ability  to  heal  itself  automatically  ? 
Roofs  built  with  KOPPERS  Coal  Tar  Pitch  do  resist  water 
and  they  do  heal  themselves. 

1.  RESISTANCE  TO  WATER.  Prolonged  contact  with 
water  is  a  condition  almost  impossible  to  avoid  on  flat  roofs. 
Poor  drainage,  low  spots,  or  settlement  of  the  building  may 
cause  it.  Service  records  of  15  to  50  years  by  coal  tar  pitch 
roofs  with  little  or  no  attention  prove  the  resistance  of  tar 
to  water.  KOPPERS  Coal  Tar  Pitch  is  practically  insoluble 
in  water.  None  of  its  constituents  has  more  than  a  slight 
water  solubility.  It  contains  no  added  fillers  that  would 
induce  water  absorption  or  emulsification. 

2.  THE  SELF-HEALING  PROPERTY.  Settlement  of  a 
building,  warping  of  timbers  and  many  other  things  can 
cause  cracks  in  a  roof.  However,  the  vital  consideration  is 
whether  these  cracks  are  permanent  if  they  do  appear.  Coal 
tar  pitch  has  a  property  technically  known  as  "cold  flow" 
and  even  at  ordinary  temperatures  a  crack  heals  itself.  This 
can  clearly  be  seen  in  photomicrographs  which  show  the 
sides  of  the  cracks  moving  slowly  together  until  complete 
fusion  takes  place  and  the  pitch  again  forms  a  continuous 
layer.  Coal  tar  pitch  roofs  readily  conform  to  slight  ir- 
regularities in  the  deck  and  yet  remain  waterproof. 

THE  EXTRA-HEAVY  TOP  POURING.  Additional  pro- 
tection is  given  a  KOPPERS  Roof  by  the  extra-heavy  top 
pouring  of  roofing  pitch.  This  amounts  to  approximately  70 
pounds  for  pitch  for  every  100  square  feet  of  roof  surface. 

THE  GRAVEL  OR  SLAG  SURFACE.  The  gravel  or  slag 
surface  on  a  KOPPERS  Roof  provides  an  armor  against  hail, 
driving  rain,  sleet  and  snow.  It  also  provides  additional 
wearing  surface  which  protects  the  roof  against  foot  traffic. 
Roofs  with  gravel  or  slag  surfaces  cling  to  the  deck  even  in 
severe  wind  storms. 


THE  EXTRA  SATURATION  OF  THE  FELT.  The  tarred 
felt  used  in  KOPPERS  Roofs  absorbs  one  and  one-half  times 
its  own  weight  of  coal  tar  pitch  during  saturation.  This 
large  proportion  of  saturant  insures  high  strength  and 
maximum  durability. 

PRESERVATIVE  AND  NON-CORROSIVE  ACTION, 
KOPPERS  Old  Style  Pitch  contains  coal  tar  creosote,  which 
is  unsurpassed  as  a  preservative  for  wood,  felt  or  other 
materials  which  are  used  in  roofing  construction.  It  con^ 
tains  no  mineral  acids,  alkalies,  or  corrosive  substances  and 
therefore  cannot  corrode  metal  surfaces  with  which  it  may 
come  in  contact.

parent by  proper  inspection  and  which  might  injure  the  roofing, 
have  been  remedied  by  others.  The  contractor  assumes  re- 
sponsibility for  existing  under-surfaces  as  to  their  fitness  to 
receive  roofing  when  he  proceeds  with  his  work. 

Roof  surfaces  shall  be  swept  clean  and  free  of  all  loose 
material  before  proceeding  with  roofing  work. 

The  contractor  shall  afford  all  necessary  facilities  for  in-

Specifications  for  Laying  Roofing 

First — Coat  the  entire  surface  with  Primer  applied  cold, 
allowing  same  to  dry  thoroughly.  Where  plastic  material  is 
used  to  caulk  the  joints  of  blocks,  the  coating  of  primer  shall 
be  held  back  2-in.  from  all  joints. 

Second — Over  the  entire  surface  lay  one  ply  of  No.  30 
Asphalt  Felt  in  Roofing  Asphalt,  lapping  each  sheet  2-in. 
over  the  preceding  one  at  edges  and  not  less  than  6-in.  at  end 
laps.  Roll  each  sheet  immediately  behind  the  mop  to  in- 
sure proper  adhesion  of  all 
sheets.  Mopping  and  rolling 
shall  be  so  done  as  to  secure  a 
continuous  bed  of  asphalt  of 
uniform  thickness.  In  no  place 
shall  felt  touch  felt  or  roof 
deck.  Felts  shall  be  cut  off  at 
the  angle  of  the  roof  deck  and 
all  vertical  surfaces. 

On  inclines  exceeding  3-in. 
to  the  foot  these  sheets  shall  be 
nailed  at  intervals  of  9-in.  along 
the  lap  into  the  nailing  strips. 

Note:  Where  poured 
gypsum  or  precast  gypsum 
blocks  are  used,  all  three 
plies  of  felt  shall  be  nailed 
as  specified  in  the  case  of 
board  decks. 


Third — Over  the  entire  surface  lay  in  asphalt  two  plies 
of  No.  20  Saturated  Asbestos  Felt,  lapping  each  sheet  17-in. 
over  the  preceding  one,  rolling  each  sheet  immediately  behind 
the  mop  to  insure  a  uniform  coating  of  hot  asphalt.  In  no  place 
shall  felt  touch  felt. 

On  inclines  exceeding  3-in.  to  the  foot,  sheets  shall  be  nailed 
at  intervals  of  18-in.  along  the  nailing  strips  or  back  edge. 

These  felts  shall  be  cut  off  at  the  angle  of  the  roof  deck 
and  vertical  surfaces. 

Fourth — Over  the  entire  surface  mop  a  uniform  coating  of 
asphalt,  using  not  more  than  20  lb.  per  100  sq.  ft. 

Materials  and  Workmanship 

Not  less  than  the  following  quantities  of  materials  shall  be 
used  in  constructing  each  100  sq.  ft.  of  roof  area: 

Ruberoid  Concrete  Primer  (1  gal.)   10  lb. 

One  Ply  Ruberoid  No.  30  Asphalt  Felt  32  lb. 

Two  Plies  Ruberoid  No.  20  Asphalt-saturated  As- 
bestos Felt    40  lb. 

Ruberoid  Bond  Roofing  Asphah  100  lb. 

Total  Approximate  Weight  100  sq  ft  182  lb. 

Felt  shall  be  laid  without  wrinkles  or  buckles.  It  shall  be 
rolled  immediately  behind  the  hot  mop  and  firmly  embedded  by 
brooming  the  felt.  Asphalt  shall  not  be  heated  to  exceed  450°  F. 

All  nailing  of  roofing  shall  be  done  with  Simplex  flat  head 
roofing  nails  or  with  %-inch  galvanized  roofing  nails,  driven 
through  flat  tin  discs. 

All  roofing  work  shall  be  done  to  the  satisfaction  and 
approval  of  the  manufacturer. 

General  Notes 

Note  1 — Insulated  Roofs — If  this  roof  is  applied  over 
insulating  material,  the  insulation  must  be  firm,  capable  of 
withstanding  traffic  without  crushing,  and  of  a  type  that  will 
retain  nails.  Provisions  must  be  made  that  no  more  insulation 
shall  be  laid  at  one  time  than  can  be  promptly  protected  by 
roofing  in  the  event  of  sudden  weather  changes.  A  felt  cut- 
off shall  be  mopped  along  the  edge  of  insulation  at  a  distance 
not  greater  than  one  width  of  the  insulating  material  from 
parapet  walls,  curbs  and  other  openings. 

Note  2 — Leader  Heads,  Vents,  etc. — Leader  heads,  vents, 
and  other  openings  shall  be  furnished  with  metal  flanges  of 
sufficient  width  to  permit  proper  connections  with  the  roofing. 
If  not  so  furnished  an  exception  of  responsibility  will  be  taken 
for  any  leaks  which  may  develop  immediately  adjacent.  Flanges 
of  scuppers,  gutters,  gravel  guards,  finishing  or  edging  strips, 
leader  heads  and  vents  shall  be  set  on  top  of  all  felts,  nailed 
and  double  felt  stripped. 

Note  3 — Directions  covering  the  application  of  felt  flash- 
ing re-inforcement  around  all  walls  and  vertical  surfaces 
must  be  followed  as  outlined  in  the  section  entitled  "Re- 
quirements   for   Applying  Ruberoid   Bonded   Roofs,"  which 

is  made  a  part  of  this  ap- 
plication.

insulating  material,  the  insulation  must  be  firm,  capable  of 
withstanding  traffic  without  crushing,  and  of  a  type  that  will 
retain  nails.  Provisions  must  be  made  that  no  more  insulation 
shall  be  laid  at  one  time  than  can  be  promptly  protected  by 
roofing  in  the  event  of  sudden  weather  changes.  A  felt  cut-off 
shall  be  mopped  along  the  edge  of  insulation  at  a  distance 
not  greater  than  one  width  of  the  insulating  material  from 
parapet  walls,  curbs,  and  other  openings. 

l^ote  2— Leader  Heads,  Vents,  etc.— Leader  heads,  vents, 
and  other  openings  shall  be  furnished  with  metal  flanges  of 
sufficient  width  to  permit  proper  connections  with  the  roofing. 
If  not  so  furnished  an  exception  of  responsibility  will  be  taken 
for  any  leaks  which  may  develop  immediately  adjacent. 
Flanges  of  scuppers,  gutters,  gravel  guards,  finishing  or  edg- 
ing strips,  leader  heads  and  vents  shall  be  set  on  top  of  all 
felts,  nailed  and  double  felt  stripped. 

Note  i— Directions  covering  the  application  of  felt  flash- 
ing re-inforcement  around  all  walls  and  vertical  surfaces 
must  be  followed  as  outlined  in  the  section  entitled  "Re-

USG  BUILT-UP  ROOFING 

THE  POSITION  OF 
THE  UNITED  STATES  GYPSUM  COMPflNY 
IN  THE  BUILT-UP  ROOFING  INDUSTRY 


The  unique  position  of  the  United  States  Gypsum 
Company  in  the  building  industry  makes  particularly 
significant  its  position  in  the  field  of  built-up  roofing. 
FIRST,  USG  makes  most  of  the  principal  types  of  roof 
decks — Poured  Gypsum,  Gypsum  Tile,  and  Steel. 
SECOND,  USG  is  a  large  manufacturer  of  thermal 
insulation. 

THIRD,  USG  operates  its  own  factories  for  the  manu- 
facture of  roofing  products. 

The  result  of  these  co-ordinated  facilities  is  that  the 
United  States  Gypsum  Company  can  furnish  materials 
for  the  complete  installation  of  roof  decks,  roof  deck 
insulation,  and  many  types  of  roof  coverings. 


USG  Built-up  Roofing  as  described  in  the  following 
pages  is  adaptable  for  use  over  all  types  of  structures 
which  are  covered  with  built-up  roofing. 

Built-up  Roof  Bonds  of  two  types  are  offered — a 
twenty-year  bond  and  a  ten-year  bond.  Inspection 
service  is  a  part  of  each.  Unbonded  roofs,  identical  in 
all  respects  to  the  bonded  roofs  save  for  inspection 
and  the  Guaranty  Bond,  may  be  purchased  with  re- 
sultant economy. 

The  quality  of  USG  Roofing  Products  parallels  that 
of  the  long  list  of  time-tested  USG  Building  Products 
which  have  for  more  than  30  years  received  the  ap- 
proval of  discriminating  users.

]]On  CORRELATIVE  PROVISIONS 

IJi^ln    PREPflRflTION  AND  OTHER  REQUIREMENTS  OF  ROOF 
DECKS  TO  RECEIVE  USG  STflNDflRD  BUILT  •UP  ROOFING 

NOTE— Construction  or  roof  decks  and  provision  for  satisfactory  surraces  to  receive  the  roofing  are  not 
a  part  of  the  Roofing  Contractor's  work  and  are  therefore  not  included  in  the  individual  USG  Roofing 
Specifications.  The  following  provisions,  however,  should  be  included  as  they  apply  under  the  proper 

headings  of  the  specifications  to  be  executed  by  others. 


PflRflPETS  AND  SIMILAR  VERTICAL  WALLS 

Parapet  and  similar  vertical  walls  surrounding  the  roof  areas  should  be 
so  constructed  as  to  prevent  infiltration  of  moisture  to  the  interior  of  the 
walls  above  the  line  of  roof  flashing.  For  recommendations,  see  page  38. 


ROOF  DECK  PROVISIONS 


GENERAL 

Drainage — Roof  decks  shall  be  accurately  graded  to 
drainage  connections  which  shall  be  provided  to  as- 
sure the  free  flow  of  water  from  all  points  of  the  roof 
surface. 

Gypsum  fill  to  make  drainage  slopes  above  the  roof 
deck  is  preferable  to  cinder  aggregate  fill  which  tends 
to  expand  excessively  and  crack. 

The  size  and  location  of  the  drainage  connections 
should  depend  upon  the  rate  of  rainfall  in  the  locality 
of  the  roof.  It  is  estimated  that  the  maximum  rate  of 
rainfall  in  the  United  States  varies  from  4.5  to  8.5  inches 
per  hour.  For  all  practical  purposes,  provision  for  the 
handling  of  6.5  inches  of  rainfall  per  hour  may  be  used 
as  a  guide. 

An  accepted  rule  is  to  provide  one  square  inch  of 
leader  (drain  pipe)  area  for  every  150  square  feet  of 
roof  surface.  Leaders  should  be  spaced  not  more  than 
50  feet  apart  for  pitched  roofs  and  not  more  than  75 
feet  apart  for  flat  roofs. 

Lower  roofs  must  be  protected  against  abrasion  and 
damage  from  water  streams  shed  from  open  valleys 
or  gutters  of  upper  roofs  by  installing  metal  spreaders 
to  distribute  the  flow  of  water. 

Expansion  Joints — Proper  expansion  joints  shall  be 
provided  on  large  roof  areas  to  eliminate  excessive 
contraction  and  expansion. 

WOOD  DECKS 

Decks  shall  be  constructed  of  splined  or  rrtatched 
tongue  and  groove  well  seasoned  or  treated  lumber 
not  less  than  13/16  in.  in  thickness. 

Purlin  and  rafter  spacing  shall  be  such  as  to  prevent 
noticeable  deflection  under  ordinary  loads.  Snow 
loads  shall  be  provided  for  where  needed. 


Boards  shall  be  dry,  smooth,  and  free  from  wide 
cracks  or  large  knot  holes  and  shall  be  laid  close 
together.  They  shall  have  solid  bearings  at  ends 
(unless  end  matched)  and  shall  be  securely  nailed  to 
each  bearing  with  not  less  than  two  face  nails  with 
heads  driven  flush  with  the  surface  of  the  boards. 

All  cracks  wider  than  inch  and  all  knot  holes 
larger  than  inch  in  diameter  shall  be  covered  with 
tin  or  other  suitable  metal  substantially  nailed  in  place. 
End  joints  wider  than  Va  inch  shall  be  likewise  covered. 

POURED  GYPSUM  OR  CONCRETE 
DECKS 

The  poured  gypsum  (such  as  USG  Sheetrock  Pyrofill 
Roof  Construction)  or  poured  concrete  roof  deck  sur- 
faces shall  be  dry,  smooth,  firm,  and  thoroughly  set, 
free  from  frost  and  projections  above  or  depressions  in 
the  plane  of  the  roof  deck  surface. 

The  roof  deck  shall  be  free  from  loose  sand,  scale 
resulting  from  frozen  mix,  and  all  loose  material. 

All  irregularities  in  the  surface  of  the  deck  shall  be 
satisfactorily  corrected  by  the  removal  of  high  spots 
and  the  filling  in  of  low  spots  with  gypsum  or  cement 
mortar  properly  bonded  to  the  deck  surface.  All 
sharp  arrises  shall  be  rounded. 

Unless  the  character  of  the  concrete  will  permit  nail- 
ing, provision  shall  be  made  for  anchoring  the  roofing 
material  at  ridges,  eaves,  and  gables  by  embedding 
treated  wood  nailing  strips  in  the  concrete  level  with 
the  surface  or  attached  to  the  structural  steel. 

On  concrete  decks,  when  the  incline  of  the  roof  deck 
exceeds  3  inches  in  12  inches,  provision  shall  be  made 
to  enable  the  Roofing  Contractor  to  securely  anchor 
the  roofing  materials.  Embed  treated  wood  nailing 
strips  in  the  roof  deck  parallel  with  the  roof  pitch  not 
to  exceed  4  feet  apart  on  centers.

tight.  All  joints  on  the  deck  surface  shall  be  pointed 
full  with  gypsum  mortar  or  plastic  cement,  struck 
smooth.  All  roof  surfaces  shall  be  smooth  and  true 
ready  to  receive  the  roofing  materials. 

On  concrete  decks,  suitable  nailing  strips  embedded 
in  or  securely  fastened  to  the  units  or  to  the  structural 
steel  flush  with  the  surface  shall  be  provided  at  ridges, 
eaves,  gables,  and  crests  to  provide  secure  fastening 
for  roofing  materials,  gravel  stops,  flashings,  and  metal 
fascias. 

On  concrete  decks  when  the  incline  of  the  roof  deck 
exceeds  3  inches  in  12  inches,  provision  shall  be  made 
to  enable  the  Roofing  Contractor  to  securely  anchor  the 
roofing  materials.  Embed  treated  wood  nailing  strips 
in  the  roof  deck  parallel  with  the  roof  pitch  not  to  exceed 
4  feet  apart  on  centers. 

BOOK  TILE  DECKS 

Book  tile  and  similar  surfaces  shall  be  covered  with 
not  less  than  a  1  inch  thickness  of  Gypsum  or  Portland 
cement  mortar  finished  smooth,  firm,  and  properly 
bonded  to  the  underlying  tile.

signs with  allowable  safe  loads  based  on  actual  tests 
on  bare  plates. 

The  deck  shall  be  free  from  perforations  which  will 
allow  hot  bitumen  to  drip  through  and  shall  be  free 
from  bolt  heads  or  similar  projections  above  the  roof 
surface  other  than  the  attachment  clips  and  accessories 
required  to  attach  the  deck  to  the  purlins. 

Decks  and  fittings,  unless  galvanized,  must  be 
painted  with  a  shop  coat  of  paint  to  assure  a  satis- 
factory bonding  surface  for  the  roofing  materials.  If 
surfaces  are  not  properly  painted  at  the  time  of  erec- 
tion, they  shall  be  painted  by  the  steel  erection  con- 
tractor to  the  Roofing  Contractor's  satisfaction  prior  to 
the  application  of  the  roofing  materials. 

At  least  one  layer  of  V2  inch  approved  roof  insula- 
tion (such  as  USG  Weatherwood  Roof  Insulation)  shall 
be  applied  to  the  steel  deck  before  the  application  of 
the  roofing  materials  will  be  permitted.  Insulation  shall 
be  applied  in  strict  accordance  with  Insulation  Speci- 
fications, pages  30  to  35  inclusive.  Proper  devices  for 
fastening  the  roof  insulation  shall  be  provided  by  the 
steel  deck  manufacturer  where  the  roof  deck  incline 
exceeds  3  inches  in  12  inches.

WEflTHERWOOD  INSULATION 
UNDER  BUILT-UP  ROOFING 

•         •  • 

INTRODUCTION 

fl  GUIDE  TO  GOOD  PRACTICE 


GENERAL — Roof  Insulation  applied  under  Built-up 
Roofing  is  customarily  furnished  and  applied  by  the 
Roofing  Contractor.  Often  the  application  of  the  insula- 
tion followed  immediately  by  the  application  of  the  fin- 
ished built-up  roofing  must  be  executed  against  time 
and  frequently  under  unfavorable  weather  conditions. 
Again,  in  the  case  of  monolithic  roof  decks  poured 
during  the  winter  months,  the  evaporation  of  moisture 
from  the  slab  is  not  completed  before  the  insulation 
and  roofing  are  installed. 

To  be  permanently  efficient,  the  insulation  must  be 
kept  dry  before,  during,  and,  most  important,  after 
application.  To  this  end  the  provisions  which  follow, 
if  clearly  set  forth  in  the  specifications,  will  enable  the 
Roofing  Contractor  to  do  better  and  more  rapid  work 
and  at  the  same  time  assure  the  owner  a  long  lived, 
effectively  insulated  roof. 

It  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  the  Guaranty  Bond 
covering  the  Built-up  Roofing  and  Roof  Flashings  does 
not  apply  to  the  roof  insulation.  Replacement  of  de- 
fective insulation,  therefore,  may  involve  the  owner  in 
costly  repairs. 

INSULATION  REQUISITES  FOR  THE  APPLICATION 
OF  USG  BONDED  BUILT-UP  ROOFING— USG  Bonded 
Built-up  Roofing  will  be  applied  over  insulation  ful- 
filling the  following  requirements: 

The  insulation  shall  be  of  the  rigid  board  or  pressure- 
resisting  type  (such  as  USG  Weatherwood).  Units 
shall  be  not  larger  than  22  inches  wide  by  47  inches 
long;  of  uniform  thickness  without  curled,  broken,  or 
ragged  corners;  free  from  moisture,  dust,  and  pitted  or 
uneven  surfaces;  and  of  sufficient  density  to  retain 
nails. 

SEAL  COURSES — The  seal  course  is  a  continuous 
layer  of  waterproofing  laid  over  the  roof  deck  beneath 
the  insulation.  Together  with  the  finished  roof  cover- 
ing applied  over  the  insulation,  the  seal  course  sand- 
wiches the  insulation  between  two  water  and  vapor 
proof  layers. 

Where  high  industrial  humidities  are  maintained, 
seal  courses  are  imperative  over  wood  decks  to  pre- 


vent moisture  absorption  by  the  insulation.  The  same 
necessity  may  apply  to  monolithic  and  other  incom- 
bustible deck  constructions  under  certain  conditions. 

Buildings  with  concrete  and  similar  decks  present 
several  major  problems  to  the  roofer.  He  is  often 
forced  to  lay  the  roofing,  including  the  insulation, 
before  other  trades  have  left  the  roof  in  order  that 
plastering  and  other  operations  within  the  building 
may  be  completed  on  scheduled  time.  Again,  he  may 
be  called  upon  to  work  during  inclement  weather  or 
during  weather  which  prevents  the  complete  drying 
out  of  the  deck.  Damage  under  these  conditions  may 
be  done  to  both  insulation  and  roofing.  To  provide 
against  such  contingencies,  it  is  recommended  that 
the  specifications  provide  for  the  application  of  a 
standard  seal  course  which  acts  as  a  temporary  water- 
proof covering  for  the  entire  roof  area. 

WATER  CUT-OFFS— Water  cut-offs  installed  through 
the  body  of  the  insulation  prevent  the  spread  of  water 
beyond  predetermined  segregated  areas  in  the  event 
of  leaks  due  to  damage  to  the  roofing,  flashings,  de- 
fective parapet  walls,  or  copings. 

They  also  provide  against  damage  by  sudden 
showers  and  over-night  and  week-end  interruptions 
during  application  of  the  insulation  and  roofing. 

Their  importance  is  such  that  it  is  suggested  that  the 
Architect  indicate  their  desired  locations  with  faint 
lines  on  the  roof  plan.  This  will  assist  the  Roofing 
Contractor  in  planning  his  work  so  that  he  may  sched- 
ule the  completion  of  each  area  and  will  serve  as  a 
permanent  record  of  their  location. 

RECOMMENDED  NUMBER  OF  LAYERS  OF  INSU- 
LATION— While  Weatherwood  Roof  Insulation  is 
made  in  various  thicknesses  from  V2  inch  to  4  inches 
in  multiples  of  Vz  inch,  for  the  best  results  the  insula- 
tion should  be  laid  in  two  or  more  layers,  the  second 
breaking  joints  with  the  first  layer. 

BITUMENS  AND  FELTS— Specify  the  same  bitumens 
and  felts  throughout.  Where  coal  tar  pitch  is  used, 
all  felts  should  be  saturated  with  the  same  material. 
Where  asphalt  is  used,  use  asphalt  saturated  felts.

USG  WEflTHERWOOD  ROOF  INSULATION  •  •  DESCRIPTION 

RESISTANCE  TO  MOISTURE— NON-ABSORPTION— 

Tests  show  that  this  board,  after  being  submerged  in 
water  for  a  period  of  two  (2)  hours,  has  an  average 
water  absorption  of  less  than  fifteen  (15)  per  cent  by 
weight. 


COMPOSITION— USG  Weatherwood  Roof  Insulation 
is  a  felted  fiber  product  treated  to  make  it  highly 
moisture  resistant.  It  is  formed  on  a  single  cylinder 
which  produces  a  homogeneous  board  free  from  lam- 
inations and  any  tendency  to  split  parallel  with  the 
faces. 

NOTE— United  States  Gypsum  Company  has 
three  Insulation  Board  manufacturing  mills: 
St  Joseph,  Missouri;  Greenville,  Mississippi; 
and  Lisbon  Falls,  Maine.  While  the  raw  mater- 
ials from  which  the  St.  Joseph  Mill  insulation 
is  made  are  basically  different  from  those  of 
the  Greenville  and  Lisbon  Falls  Mills,  the  phy- 
sical characteristics  of  the  products  of  all  three 
mills  are  essentially  the  same. 

LOW  THERMAL  CONDUCTIVITY— The  average  es- 
tablished in  tests  is  .33  B.t.u.'s  per  hour,  per  inch 
thickness,  per  square  foot,  per  degree  F.  difference  in 
temperature  between  the  two  sides. 


STRUCTURAL  STRENGTH— The  tensile  strength  of 
USG  Weatherwood  Insulation  is  over  300  pounds  per 
square  inch  and  the  modulus  of  rupture,  over  400 
pounds. 

NON-COMPRESSIBILITY— RESILIENCE —When  laid 
over  roof  decks  under  standard  roofing  materials,  it  is 
sufficiently  firm  to  prevent  fracture  of  the  roofing  under 
normal  use. 

THICKNESS  AND  SIZE— 1/2,  1,  1^2,  2,  21/2,  3,  3V2,  and 
4  inches  thick.  It  is  homogeneous  in  the  V2  inch  thick- 
ness and  can  also  be  furnished  I  inch  thick.  On  thick- 
nesses greater  than  V2  inch,  the  insulation  will  be  fur- 
nished in  multiple  thicknesses  of  V2  inch,  waterproof 
glue  or  staple  laminated.  The  area  of  the  unit  is  22 
inches  wide  by  47  inches  long. 


CORRELATIVE  PROVISIONS 
APPLYING  TO  ROOF  INSULATION 

NOTE — The  construction  of  roof  decks  and  provision  for  satis- 
factory surfaces  to  receive  the  roof  insulation  and  various 
miscellaneous  provisions  by  other  trades  are  not  a  part  of  the 
Roofing  Contractor  s  work  and  are,  therefore,  not  included 
in  the  Roof  Insulation  Specifications.  The  following  provisions, 
however,  should  be  included  as  they  apply  under  the  proper 
headings  of  the  specifications  to  be  executed  by  others. 


ROOF  DECK  PROVISIONS— All  provisions  for  the 
construction  and  finished  condition  of  the  various

Dry -bulb  temperature  near  ceiling  85  deg.  Fahr, 

Relative  humidity   70  per  cent. 

Lowest  outside  temperature  — 10  deg.  Fahr. 

Coefficient  of  transmission  roof  0.485 

Conductivity  of  insulation  to  be  used  0.30 

The  solution  of  this  problem  is  indicated  on  the  chart  by  the 
dotted  line: 

(1)  Locate  the  inside  dry-bulb  temperature  of  85  deg.  on  scale  A, 
and  draw  a  line  vertically  downward  to  the  70  per  cent  relative 
humidity  curve  indicated  on  scale  B  of  the  chart. 


(2)  Draw  line  2  horizontally  from  the  intersection  located  as  per 
paragraph  1. 

(3)  Locate  on  scale  D  the  temperature  difference  of  95  deg.  between 
the  ceiling  temperature  of  85  deg.  and  the  lowest  outside  tempera- 
ture of  — 10  deg.,  and  draw  a  line  vertically  downward  until  it  inter- 
sects with  line  2. 

(4)  From  the  point  of  intersection  of  lines  2  and  3,  draw  a  line 
to  the  point  P. 

(5)  From  the  intersection  of  lines  4  and  AB,  draw  a  line  vertically 
downward  until  it  intersects  with  the  diagonal  line  corresponding 
to  a  coefficient  of  transmission  of  the  roof  of  0.485,  located  on  scale  F. 

(6)  From  the  intersection  found  as  per  paragraph  5,  draw  line  6 
horizontally  to  the  left. 

(7)  Locate  the  conductivity  of  0.30  B.t.u.  per  hour,  per  square  foot 
per  degree  Fahrenheit  of  the  insulation  on  scale  G  and  draw  a 
line  to  point  Q. 

(8)  From  the  intersection  of  lines  6  and  7,  draw  line  vertically 
upward  to  scale  H,  on  which  the  thickness  of  insulation  of  this  con- 
ductivity is  indicated,  which  is  1.3  in.  The  nearest  commercial 
thickness  above  1.3  in.  would,  of  course,  be  selected.

BUILT-UP  ROOF  FLASHINGS 

USG  Built-up  Roof  Flashings  are  approved  for  ap- 
plication throughout  the  United  States  when  installed 
in  connection  with  USG  Bonded  Built-up  Roofs. 

•      •  • 

INTRODUCTION 
ESSENTIALS  OF  WATER  •  TIGHT  WALLS  ABOVE  THE  ROOF 


PARAPET  WALLS— Parapet  walls  to  which  built-up 
roof  flashings  are  attached  are  one  of  the  most  vulner- 
able parts  of  a  building.  The  walls  are  exposed  to 
rain  at  the  top  and  on  both  sides,  and  at  times  are  sub- 
jected to  freezing  temperatures  necessitating,  as  nearly 
as  possible,  water-tight  construction. 

Bureau  of  Standards'  research  paper  R.  P.  683,  "A 
Study  of  the  Properties  of  Mortars  and  Bricks  and  their 
Relation  to  Bond,"  establishes  the  weakest  point  in 
brick  work  to  be  at  the  junction  of  the  solid  masonry 
unit  and  the  mortar. 

Parapet  walls  should  be  built  of  the  best  materials. 
For  all  ordinary  construction,  regardless  of  the  absorp- 
tion rates  of  the  masonry  units,  tests  and  numerous 
field  observations  made  by  competent  authorities  indi- 
cate that  parapet  walls  can  be  made  water-tight  by  the 
proper  use  of  mortars  which  form  a  solid  bond  with  the 
masonry  units.  Mortar  mixes  shown  in  the  following 
table  prepared  by  the  National  Lime  Association  are 
eminently  satisfactory  for  this  purpose:

Lime,  7  or  8  cu.  ft.  of  putty  per  180  lbs.  of  quicklime  or  2.25  cu.  ft. 
of  putty  per  100  lbs.  of  hydrate. 

Cement,  94  lbs.  per  cu.  ft. 

Sand,  80-85  lbs.  per  cu.  ft.  loose  and  moist. 

WALL  COPING — A  water-tight  coping  is  equally  as  im- 
portant as  the  kind  of  masonry  materials  used  in  the 
wall.  For  a  water-tight  job,  the  coping  should  be  laid 
tight  on  a  full  bed  of  mortar,  thoroughly  pointed  up  and 
properly  pitched  for  drainage. 


Copings  should  be  provided  with  undercut  drips. 
Continuous  through  wall  flashings  of  fabric  or  non- 
corrosive  metal  should  be  placed  between  the  coping 
and  the  brick  work;  or,  in  lieu  of  continuous  flashings, 
unit  pan  flashings  centered  under  the  coping  joints 
should  be  provided  to  prevent  infiltration  of  water  into 
the  wall  through  the  coping  joints. 

FLASHINGS — To  be  permanently  efficient,  flashing 
must: 

1.  Prevent  water  from  entering  the  wall  at  the  junction 
of  the  wall  and  the  roof  deck. 

2.  Prevent  water  from  entering  the  wall  through  open 
joints  in  the  coping. 

The  use  of  properly  constructed  roof  flashings  for 
these  purposes  cannot  be  too  fully  emphasized. 

Most  roof  flashings  have  been  designed  to  exclude 
water  from  the  parapet  wall,  but  the  methods  used  have 
generally  failed,  resulting  in  the  retention  of  the  mois- 
ture that  does  get  into  the  wall. 

The  application  of  hot  asphalt,  coal  tar  pitch,  roof- 
ing felt  or  metallic  materials  over  one  face  of  the  wall 
or  across  the  top  and  continued  down  over  one  face 
of  the  wall  actually  accelerates  disintegration  of  the 
masonry  beneath  the  covered  surface.  If  it  is  assumed 
that  water  does  enter  the  wall,  provision  for  its  exit 
must  also  be  considered.  Therefore,  covering  one  face 
of  the  wall  reduces  by  one-half  the  area  through  which 
the  water  confined  in  the  wall  can  escape. 

Both  faces  of  parapet  walls  should  be  exposed  to 
the  weather  to  permit  maximum  drying.  Roof  flashings 
should  not  be  extended  higher  than  is  necessary  to 
guard  against  the  possible  accumulation  of  water  on 
the  roof  surface  under  unusual  rainfall  conditions. 

BITUMENS  AND  FELTS— Specify  the  same  bitumen 
and  felts  throughout.  Where  coal  tar  pitch  is  used,  all 
felts  should  be  saturated  with  the  same  material. 
Where  asphalt  is  used,  use  asphalt  saturated  felts.

CORRELATIVE  PROVISIONS 
APPLYING  TO  ROOF  FLASHINGS 

NOTE— 773  e  construction  of  deck  roofs,  parapet  walls, 
curbs,  and  other  vertical  surfaces  upon  or  against 
which  flashings  are  to  be  applied  are  not  a  part  of 
the  Roofing  Contractor  s  work  and  are,  therefore, 
not  included  in  the  USG  Built-up  Flashing  Specifica- 
tions. The  following  provisions,  however,  should  be 
included  as  they  apply  under  the  proper  heading 
of  the  specifications  to  be  executed  by  others: 


ROOF  DECK  PROVISIONS— All  provisions  for  the  con- 
struction and  finished  condition  of  the  various  types  of 
roof  decks  established  under  the  heading  "Correlative 
Provisions,"  pages  3  and  4,  applying  to  "Built-up 
Roofing"  shall  apply  likewise  to  "Roof  Flashings." 
FLASHING  RAGGLES— The  Masonry  Contractor  shall 
provide  flashing  raggles  V2  in.  wide  by  IV2  in.  deep 
in  all  brick  or  concrete  parapet  walls,  curbs,  and  other 
vertical  walls  above  the  roof  deck  surface  in  strict  ac- 
cordance with  specifications  established  under  this 
heading  in  "Correlative  Provisions/'  page  4. 

NOTE— O/2  saw-tooth  and  monitor  curbs  be- 
neath the  sash  it  is  customary  for  the  roofer  to 
extend  only  the  full  thickness  of  the  roofing  up 
these  inclined  slopes  without  additional  flash- 
mg  reinforcement  While  this  construction  is 
theoretically  satisfactory,  additional  counter- 
flashing  is  needed  over  the  roofing  at  these 
points  to  prevent  damage  by  workmen  per- 
forming the  customary  maintenance  duties  re- 
quired over  these  particular  sections  of  the  roof 


NOTE — Where  flashing  raggles  are  to  be  pro- 
vided in  an  existing  wall,  such  as  a  party  or 
parapet  wall  surrounding  an  old  roof,  the  rag- 
gle can  readily  be  cut  by  using  a  portable  elec- 
tric circular  saw,  substituting  a  carborundum 
disc  for  the  steel  saw  blade.  At  re-entrant 
angles  the  raggles,  obviously,  will  have  to  be 
raked  out  by  hand. 

NAILING  STRIPS— The  Masonry  Contractor  shall  pro- 
vide permanent  wooden  nailing  strips  in  all  concrete 
parapet  walls,  curbs,  or  other  vertical  walls  above  the 
roof  surface.  Nailing  strips  are  to  be  embedded  in  and 
flush  with  the  face  of  the  wall  and  located  1  inch  below 
and  parallel  with  the  raggle  groove  in  strict  accord- 
ance with  specifications  established  under  this  head- 
ing in  "Correlative  Provisions/'  page  4. 

CANT  STRIPS— Cant  strips  shall  be  provided  by  the 
General  or  Masonry  Contractor  at  the  junction  of  the 
roof  deck  with  all  vertical  walls  and  curbs  in  strict 
accordance  with  specifications  established  under  this 
heading  in  "Correlative  Provisions,"  page  4. 


GENERAL  REQUIREMENTS 

APPLYING  TO  flPPLICflTION  OF  ROOF  FLASHING 


The  Roofing  Contractor  shall  consult  with  the  Gen- 
eral and  Masonry  Contractors  at  the  time  parapet 
walls,  curbs,  and  other  vertical  walls  are  being  erected 
and  shall  furnish  the  General  and  Masonry  Contractors 
with  sufficient  information  as  to  proper  location  of  flash- 
ing nailing  strips  and  raggles  to  assure  their  proper 
location  and  construction  in  relation  to  saddles  or 
crickets  installed  later  to  effect  drainage. 

The  Roofing  Contractor  shall  also  examine  all  walls 
or  curbs  upon  or  against  which  roof  flashings  are  to 


be  applied.  He  shall  determine  that  the  walls  or  curbs 
are  properly  constructed,  are  smooth  and  free  from 
sharp  projections  above  or  depressions  in  the  plane  of 
the  wall  or  curb  surface.  He  shall  check  the  location 
and  construction  of  flashing  raggles  and  nailing  strips 
to  be  certain  that  they  are  free  from  mortar,  debris,  and 
forming  material  and  ready  to  receive  the  roof  flashing. 
He  shall  notify  the  Architect  of  any  defects  he  considers 
detrimental  to  the  installation  of  the  roof  flashings  and 
shall  make  sure  that  all  defects  are  corrected  before 
he  begins  work.

QUALITY  HIGHLIGHTS  OF  BIRD  SHINGLES  AND  SIDING 


Specially  Prepared  Felt 

The  felt  used  in  Bird  roofing  is  made  by  a  special 
felting  machine  and  the  fibres  are  actually  felted,  allow- 
ing the  felt  to  be  thoroughly  saturated. 


Complete  Saturation 

The  Immersion  Process  used  in  saturating  Bird  Felt 
permits  190%  to  200%  saturation,  well  above  Under- 
writers' Laboratory  Specifications.   A  completely  satu- 
rated felt  is  essential  because  this  is  the  foundation  on  which 
the  roofing  is  built. 

Special  Shatter-Resistant  Coating 

This  quality  is  obtained  by  special  preparation  of  the  coating 
asphalt  and  gives  a  more  workable  and  durable  product. 

Every  Granule  Firmly  Embedded 

The  Mineral  granules  used  in  surfacing  Bird  shingles  and 
sidings  are  thoroughly  cleaned  and  primed  with  oil  to  assure  a 


BIRD 

NeponsET 
PRODUCTS 


firm  embedding  of  every  granule.  This  firm  embedding 
gives  better  appearance  and  greater  durability. 

Durable  Color 

Because  of  particular  selection  and  Bird  controlled 
coloring  process,  all  surfacing  granules  used  in  Bird 
shingles  are  durable. 


Wide  Distribution 

Bird  Shingles,  Sidings,  and  Building  Materials  are  stocked 
in  all  parts  of  the  United  States,  east  of  the  Rocky  Alountains, 
by  reputable  dealers. 

Climatic  Resistance 

Bird  Asphalt  Slate  Surfaced  Shingles  and  Siding  will  meet 
every  climatic  resistance. 

High,  low,  and  extraordinary  temperature  changes  will 
not  impair  their  protective  efficiency,  beauty,  and  dura- 
bility.

BIRD  CUSTOM  BUILT  SHINGLES 


General  Appearance  and  Method  of  Laying 


The  points  as  outlined  below  and  illustrated  ahove  should  be 
followed  to  insure  a  tight  roof : 

A.  At  eaves  lay  a  course  of  wooden  shingles  extending  over 
facia  board  %  in. 

B.  Directly  over  the  starter  course  of  wooden  shingles  lay 
a  36-in.  strip  of  Bird  Black  Slate  Surfaced  Roofing. 

C.  We  recommend  that  a  layer  of  Bird  Neponset  Black 
Waterproof  Building  Paper  be  laid  horizontally  and  lapped  not 
less  than  2  in.  beneath  all  shingles. 


D.  Nail  shingles  through  the  two  holes  provided. 

E.  The  marker  on  the  edge  of  the  shingles  when  lined  up  with 
the  top  of  the  underlying  shingle  will  give  7-in.  exposure. 

General  Description  of  Bird  Custom  Built  Shingles 

The  massive  butts  and  irregular  edges  of  Bird  Custom  Built 
Shingles  give  a  distinctive  touch  which  greatly  adds  to  the 
beauty  of  the  roof.  Each  shingle  is  hand  made  by  a  skilled 
craftsman,  assuring  extraordinary  construction,  durabilit}^,  and 
beauty.

Advantages  of  Bird  Thick  Butts 

1.  Added  life  because  there  are  double  layers  of  asphalt  and 
surfacing  mineral  on  the  exposed  portion. 

2.  Added  beauty  because  the  black  background  showing 
through  the  cut-outs  more  clearly  defines  the  units  of  color 
and  gives  deeper  shadow  effects. 

3.  Added  weight  and  massiveness  where  most  needed. 

4.  Added  fire  resistance  because  of  extra  mineral. 

5.  Added  thickness  of  butt  makes  them  conform  better  to 
roof  deck. 

6.  Added  protection  because  the  extra  weight  on  exposed  por- 
tion holds  them  firmly  in  place. 

Special  Treatment  of  Mineral 

The  mineral  used  in  the  surfacing  of  Bird  Shingles  is  spe- 
cially treated  with  a  low  volatile,  free  flowing,  colorless  oil. 


This  oil  application  cleans  and  primes  the  granule,  thereby 
allowing  a  perfect  bonding  with  the  asphalt  coating.  The  mineral 
is  then  heated  to  insure  firm  embedding  in  the  asphalt  coating. 

"Shatter-Resistant'*  Coating 

The  coating  asphalt  used  in  Bird  Shingles  to  seal  the  saturated 
felt  base  and  hold  the  mineral  surfacing  in  place  is  so  treated 
that  it  is  rendered  "Shatter-Resistant."  This  makes  Bird 
Shingles  easier  to  handle  in  cold  weather  and  more  durable 
because  the  ice  forming  on  them  will  not  tear  off  the  mineral 
surfacing  as  it  melts  and  slides  down  the  roof. 

This  special  process  permits  the  application  of  a  greater  per- 
centage of  mineral  surfacing.  This  accounts  for  the  famous 
"Shatter-Resistant"  coating,  well  known  in  Bird  Thick  Butt 
Shingles.

IRUBEROID  Roll  Roofing  Smooth  and  Mineralized 

Ruberoid  Roll  Roofings  are  known  for 
their  long  life  and  economy.  Many  roofs 
laid  twenty  and  twenty-five  years  ago  are 
still  giving  dependable  service  today.^ 

Ruberoid  Roll  Roofing  is  made  in  two 
styles : 

(1)  Smooth-surface — Five  weights:  Light 
(35  lb.),  medium  (45  lb.),  heavy  (55  lb.), 
extra-heavy  (65  lb.),  and  super-weight  (75 
lb.)  per  108  sq.  ft. 

(2)  Mineralized  (heavy)— Average  ap- 
proximate weight  90  lb.  per  108  sq.  ft.  Sur- 
faced on  one  side  with  mineral  granules  in 
several  attractive  colors.  All  rolls  are  36  in. 
wide.    Each  roll  carries  the  Underwriters' 

Class  C  Label.  Zinc-coated  nails  and  lap  cement  fur- 
nished with  each  roll. 


Cement  Waterproofing  Compound 

Ruberoid  Cement  Waterproofing  Compound  (pat- 
ented), when  mixed  with  Portland  cement,  makes  leaky 
cellars  or  pits  bone  dry.  Its  use  in  stucco  entirely  elimi- 
nates ''hair  cracking."  It  differs  from  other  waterproof- 
ing compounds  in  that  it  does  not  delay  the  set  or 
reduce  the  strength  of  the  mortar.  It  contains  no  cal- 
cium stearate  or  other  soap  compounds. 

A  %-in.  mortar  facing  containing  Cement  Water- 
proofing on  the  inside  of  a  structure  will  resist  a  200- ft. 
head  of  water  from  without.  This  fact  makes  it  espe- 
cially adaptable  for  use  in  pump  pits,  cellars  or  other 
structures  below  ground.  Cement  waterproofing  will 
resist  action  of  brine,  hot  water,  steam,  oils,  distillates 
and  other  chemicals.  Packed  in  barrels  (450  lbs.),  100- 
Ib.  and  25-lb.  cans.

There  is  also  a  complete  line  of  building  papers.        '^Safe-n-dry"  is  also  ideal  for  curing  concrete  floors 

Included    are    the    well-known    reinforced   papers-  roads,  cement  walks,  aprons,  etc.    It  allows  the  cement 

"Safe-n-dry"  and  "7-Ply."  For  use  behind  clapboards,  to  gradually  harden  with  proper  density  by  retarding 


stucco,  shingles,  brick  veneer  and  under 
floors. 

*'Safe-n-dry,"  because  of  its  two 
sheets  of  kraft  paper,  the  strong  woven 
jute  fabric  used  and  the  extra  reinforc- 
ing cords  along  each  edge,  has  unusual 
strength.  It  is  almost  impossible  to  tear. 
Never  becomes  sticky  in  summer  or 
brittle  in  winter.  Clean,  odorless,  water- 
proof and  air-tight.  Rolls  36  ins.  wide 
contain  500  sq.  ft.  weighing  30  lbs.  per 
roll 

Where  unusual  insulating  values  are 
required,  *7-Ply''  should  be  used. 
Standard  rolls  contain  250  or  500  sq.  ft., 
36  in.  wide  weighing  17  and  34  lbs. 
respectively. 

In  addition  there  are  less  expensive 
building  papers,  saturated,  or  saturated 
and  coated,  in  500-ft.  rolls,  36  ins.  wide. 
These  are  particularly  adaptable  for  use 
under  slate,  tile,  or  other  types  of  roof- 
ing where  a  waterproof  protective  cov- 
ering is  required  to  safeguard  against 
moisture  penetration  when  slates,  tiles, 
etc.,  may  become  broken  through  acci- 
dents. 


Extra  Reinforcing  Cords  Along  Each 
Edge  Make  It  Practically  Impossible 
to  Tear 


the  evaporation  of  moisture. 

When  used  to  cover  the  floor  or  large 
poured  areas,  it  saves  considerable 
money  over  the  old-fashioned  method  of 
curing  by  use  of  hay,  sawdust  or  sand 
constantly  wet  down.  There  is  no  costly 
labor  of  hauling  and  spreading  heavy 
materials,  for  '*Safe-n-dry"  only  weighs 
approximately  6  lbs.  to  100  sq.  ft. 

''Safe-n-dry'*  eliminates  the  labor  of 
scraping  the  drippings  from  the  floor 
above .  It  also  protects  the  floors  f  rom  con- 
struction damage  while  the  mechanics, 
painters,  etc.,  do  their  work.  Because  of 
its  strength  it  stands  abuse  without  tear- 
ing. Obtainable  in  widths  of  36,  48,  60, 
72  and  84  ins.  to  fit  any  job.

INTRODUCTORY 


The  United  States  Gypsum  Company,  during  , 
continued  to  expand  in  the  asphalt  shingle  and  roofing 
field.  Roofing  plants  at  North  Tonawanda,  N.  Y. ;  South 
Bend,  Ind. ;  St.  Paul,  Minn.;  and  South  Gate,  Cahf., 
give  the  Company  strategic  distribution  points  in  the 
United  States.  The  company  operates  its  own  felt  mill 
at  Skaneateles  Falls,  N.  Y.,  for  the  supply  of  base  felts 
used  in  the  manufacture  of  roofing. 

The  line  of  products  has  been  standardized  at  the 
various  plants.  Existing  standards  of  quality  have  been 
maintained  and  improved.  Careful  control  and  re- 
search methods  assure  the  uniformity  and  quality  typical 
of  all  USG  products.  Attention  has  been  given  to  the 
improvement  of  colors  on  the  shingle  products,  particu- 


larly with  respect  to  variegated  blends.  Packaging  has 
been  improved  to  insure  the  products  reaching  the  job 
in  prime  condition. 

A  built-up  roofing  service  has  been  made  available 
with  detailed  specifications,  surety  bond,  inspection  serv- 
ice, and  a  complete  line  of  products  for  smooth  and

creased manufacturing  facilities  result  in  a  better  roof- 
ing service  for  the  Company's  customers. 


USG  SHIh 

Note:  The  six  types  of  shingles  deserihed  here  all  carry 

Tapered  Strip  Shingles 

The  Tapered  Strip  Shingle,  thick  at  the  butt  end  and  thin 
at  the  top,  has  the  greater  portion  of  the  protective  asphalt 
coating  at  the  butt  end  where  the  wear  comes.  The  dunen- 
sions  of  the  tabs  in  relation  to  their  thickness  give  the  shingles 
a  rugged  utility  and  create  a  heavy  shadow  line.  The  Tapered 
Shingle  is  available  in  a  number  of  solid  colors  and  a  variety 
of  attractive  warm  and  cool  blends,  a  range  adapted  to  the 
correct  color  treatment  of  any  slope-roof  dwelling. 

Quad''  Shingles 

USG  Quad  Shingles  have  unique  turned  edges  on  the  tabs 
along  the  cutouts.  The  turned  up  angle  edges  give  the  tabs 
added  rigidity  and  cast  deep  shadow  lines.  Quad  Shmglcs  are 
available  in  attractive  plain  colors  and  blends.  No  other  shmgle 
on  the  market  has  the  patented  angle  edge  found  on  Quads, 
and  the  shingle  is  truly  distinctive  in  appearance. 

Square  Butt  Shingles 

In  addition  to  the  Tapered  Strip  Shingles  and  the  Quad 
Shingles,  both  of  which  are  in  the  square  butt  pattern,  other 
three  and  four  tab  square  butt  shingles  are  produced  m  a 
variety  of  pleasing  colors  and  color  combinations.  Due  to  the 
thoroughly  conservative  design,  square  butt  strip  shingles  have 
always  been  popular  and  genuinely  appealing  to  home  owners. 

Hexagon  Strip  Shingles 

A  pleasing  variation  in  design  and  surfacing  is  available  in 
USG  Hexagon  Strip  Shingles.    A  thoroughly  asphalt , saturated

e  Class  C  Label  of  the  Underwriters'  Laboratories,  Inc. 

base  coated  on  both  sides  and  surfaced  with  attractive  colored 
surfacings  combine  to  form  this  popular  shingle.  USG  Hexagon 
Strip  Shingles  are  produced  in  a  full  range  of  colors  and  sizes 
for  various  purposes. 

Thatch"'  Shingles 

USG  Thatch  Shingles  offer  a  pleasing  variation  in  design 
from  the  more  standard  square  butt  and  hexagonal  roof  pat- 
terns. Thatch  Shingles  have  pleasing  roof  lines  when  viewed 
from  any  angle  and  are  particularly  suited  to  small  homes. 
Their  design  is  such  that  they  .offer  unusual  resistance  to  high 
winds.  They  come  in  two  sizes — 10  and  12  in.  in  width — and 
in  a  wide  range  of  colors.  The  larger  type  provides  full 
double  coverage. 

Arro-Lock''  Shingles 

A  most  successful  lock  shingle  which  requires  only  two 
nails  per  shingle  yet  the  method  of  nailing  secures  each  shingle 
at  four  points.  All  exposed  edges  are  angular,  eliminating 
the  possibility  of  water  following  straight  line  edges  over  head- 
lap.  The  locking  device,  which  holds  each  shingle  securely, 
permits  natural  expansion  or  contraction  without  buckling.  This 
shingle,  particularly  adapted  to  re-roofing,  is  manufactured  in 
a  number  of  colors  and  color  combinations. 

Other  Shingle  Types  Manufactured 

The  USG  shingle  line  includes,  in  addition  to  the  above 
types,  Standard  and  Giant  Individual  Shingles,  Dutch  Lap  Indi- 
vidual Shingles,  Tritab*  Strip  Shingles,  Grip-Lock*  Shingles, 
Super-Tite*  Shingles,  and  Brick  Siding  Strips.  Each  type  of 
shingle  is  available  in  a  variety  of  plain  colors  and  blends.

CON-SER-TEX— A  CANVAS  COVERING  FOR  ROOFS  AND  FLOORS 


Characteristics  of  Con-Ser-Tex 

Con-Ser-Tcx  is  a  specially  w^oven  cotton  fabric 
scientifically  treated  by  a  chemical  process  which 
makes  it  not  only  waterproof  but  preserves  it 
against  the  ravages  of  dry  rot,  mildew,  vermin 
and  the  elements — the  arch  enemies  of  ordinary 
cotton  duck. 

The  development  of  the  chemical  process  had  its  origin  in  an 
investigation  of  the  properties  of  Egyptian  mummy  cloths  which 
have  been  known  through  the  ages  as  possessing  extraordinary 
features  of  durability.  Modern  research  disclosed  the  fact  that 
the  cotton  fibres  had  been  physically  altered  to  prevent  capillary 
attraction  and  revealed  the  basic  chemical  treatment  which  was 
used  in  the  process.  In  the  manufacture  of  Con-Ser-Tex  these 
same  properties  have  been  secured  along  with  others  which 
make  the  material  particularly  adaptable  for  its  special  uses. 
The  chemical  processes  provide  a  protective  coating  to  each 
cotton  fibre  which  prevents  the  oils  in  paint  from  being  ab- 
sorbed by  the  fibres.  In  ordinary  fabrics,  these  oils  form  one 
of  the  most  destructive  elements  because  of  their  oxidizing 
action.  No  oils  or  paraffin  enter  into  the  manufacture  of 
Con-Ser-Tex. 

While  paint  is  necessary  to  provide  a  wearing  surface  on 
canvas  decks,  it  is  the  inherent  checking  tendency  of  oil  paints 
which  not  only  breaks  the  surface  fibres  but  exposes  the  body 
of  the  fabric  to  rotting  and  mildew.  In  Con-Ser-Tex  these 
difficulties  are  reduced  to  a  negligible  minimum. 

Adaptability  and  Advantages  of  Con-Ser-Tex 

Con-Ser-Tex  has  many  miscellaneous  industrial  uses,  but  in 
building  construction  as  a  roof  covering  and  a  floor  covering 
in  exposed  locations  subject  to  footwear  it  offers  many  ad- 
vantages not  obtainable  by  any  other  type  of  covering.  Even 
where  footwear  is  not  a  consideration  it  offers  many  advan- 
tages as  a  roofing  material. 

Under  foot  and  heavy  rain  impact  it  is  obviously  less  noisy 
than  any  metal  covering. 

There  is  no  other  type  of  roofing  at  once  so  light  and  so 
durable  under  foot  traffic. 

It  offers  advantages  in  its  low  heat  transmission. 

Con-Ser-Tex  is  an  ideal  covering  for  floors  and  roofs  of 
porches  for  residences,  hospitals,  sanitariums,  clubs,  etc. 

It  is  a  most  serviceable  covering  for  roofs  of  frame  or  fire- 
proof construction  used  for  roof  gardens  and  for  recreational 
purposes  in  general. 

In  the  heavy  grades  it  is  recommended  for  roofs  where 
water  is  collected  or  retained,  such  as  for  spray  ponds  used  in 
connection  with  air  conditioning  on  refrigerating  plants. 

Corrosion  will  destroy  tin  and  galvanized  roofing  materials 
sooner  than  Con-Ser-Tex  will  lose  its  strength  and  weather- 
resisting  properties.

Practical  Utility  and  Economy 

Con-Ser-Tcx  is  so  woven  and  treated  that  there 
is  no  tendency  to  curl  or  blister.  It  lies  flat.  This 
is  unusual  in  a  material  of  its  type. 

As  a  covering  for  warped  roof  surfaces  and  geo- 
metrical forms,  such  as  conical,  domical  and  barrel 
roof  surfaces,  Con-Ser-Tex  offers  evident  advan- 
tages. Its  wide  use  by  railroads  for  passenger  car  roofing  bears 
testimony  to  this  effect. 

Facility  in  working  makes  Con-Ser-Tex  useful  for  flashings, 
gutter  and  valley  linings  and  at  edges  where  more  rigid 
materials  would  present  difficulties.  Ease  of  installing  results 
in  time  saving  with  consequent  economy. 

Preparation  of  Surfaces 

Where  the  construction  is  of  wood  frame  the  surface  may 
be  of  the  common  grades  of  pine,  fir,  spruce,  etc.,  available  in 
the  locality  and  equal  to  No.  2  common  flooring. 

Where  foot  traffic  is  intended  the  surface  and  framing  should 
be  rigid.  Material  %  in.  thick  and  3  ins.  or  not  over  4  ins. 
wide  will  be  found  to  give  a  satisfactory  result  and  it  must  be 
tongued  and  grooved.  It  should  be  smooth,  with  joints  planed 
if  necessary.  Any  knots  or  pitch  streaks  must  be  shellacked. 
Shiplap  should  not  be  used. 

Where  there  is  likelihood  of  dampness  from  underneath,  the 
wood  should  be  painted  on  the  underside  before  laying  and 
the  joints  made  up  in  white  lead.  White  pine  in  narrow 
widths  is  particularly  useful  in  such  cases. 

When  used  over  masonry  surfaces,  portland  cement  topping 
should  be  laid  and  troweled  to  a  smooth  surface  without  projec- 
tions which  might  perforate  the  Con-Ser-Tex,  and  dressed  nail- 
ing strips  dipped  in  creosote  should  be  set  as  shown  on  accom- 
panying detail. 

How  to  Apply  Con-Ser-Tex 

Dress  the  surface  by  eliminating  rough  places  and  sharp 
edges,  then  apply  a  heavy  coating  of  white  lead  thinned  to  a 
pasty  consistency  with  linseed  oil  as  a  bedding  (see  Note).  Over 
this  bedding  (while  still  wet)  lay  the  Con-Ser-Tex,  slightly 
stretching  it  so  as  to  insure  a  close  adhesion  to  the  surface, 
taking  care  to  arrange  laps  so  as  to  permit  free  drainage. 

If  Con-Ser-Tex  is  to  be  laid  in  parallel  courses  with  the 
building,  the  strips  start  from  the  outer  or  lower  edge  of  the 
surface  to  be  covered.  Con-Ser-Tex  should  be  turned  up  or 
flashed  4  to  6  ins.  at  walls  to  insure  a  watertight  result. 

While  Con-Ser-Tex  is  stretched,  fasten  with  %-in.  copper 
or  galvanized  tacks  4  ins.  apart  on  edge  to  be  lapped.  Coat  the 
upper,  exposed  surface  of  the  edge  to  be  lapped  IV2  ins.  with 
the  bedding  paint,  then  apply  the  next  strip,  allowing  a  lap  of 
not  less  than  \V2  ins.  Fasten  with  tacks  %  in.  apart. 

After  Con-Ser-Tex  is  laid  and  set,  apply  a  coat  of  good 
quality  lead   and  oil  paint,  and  a  heavy   second  coat  of

KENMAR  COPPER  SHINGLES 


Kenmar  Copper  Shingles  (U.  S.  Patent  No.  1,971,932) 
combine  all  the  well-known  and  desirable  properties  of 
sheet  copper  with  the  ease  of  application,  economy  and 
beauty  of  design  inherent  in  a  roofing  material  in  shingle 
form. 

Kenmar  Copper  Shingles  are  made  of  pure  sheet  cop- 
per ribbed  or  corrugated,  with  the  ribs  running  length- 
wise of  the  shingle.  The  bottom  edge  of  the  shingle  is 
made  in  the  form  of  a  roll  which  gives  to  the  shingle 
the  appearance  of  the  thick  butt  of  wood,  slate  or  tile 
shingles.  It  also  has  the  advantage  of  acting  as  a  snow 
guard,  thus  elimi-

nating  the  neces- 
sity of  using  snow 
guards  on  sloping 
roofs. 

These  attractive 
copper  shingles  are 
applied  to  a  roof 
as  easily  as,  and 
usually  in  less  time 
than,  wooden  shin- 
gles. Anyone  who 
can  lay  wooden 
shingles  can  readily 
apply  Kenmar  Cop- 
per Shingles. 

Durability 

Copper  offers  a 
practical,  perma- 
nent material  for 
roofing.  \\  hen 
properly  laid,  a 
copper  roof  will 
outlast  the  building 
it  protects. 


Protection  Offered  by  Kenmar  Shingles 

Fire  Protection — More  than  one-fourth  of  all  resi- 
dential fires  start  on  the  roof.  Copper,  being  fireproof 
and  completely  impervious  to  flying  sparks,  makes 

Kenmar  Copper 
Shingles  a  very  real 
fire  protection. 

Lightning  Pro- 
tection— The  elec- 
trical conductivity 
of  copper  is  high, 
and  when  ground- 
ed, a  roof  of  Ken- 
mar Copper  Shin- 
gles provides  the 
best  possible  protec- 
tion against  light- 
ning. 

Weathertight 

Kenmar  Copper 
Shingles,  if  prop- 
erly applied  accord- 
ing to  instructions 
and  in  conjunction 
with  copper  flash- 
ings, gutters,  spouts, 
etc.,  give  as  near  a 
permanently  weath- 
er-tight roof  as  it  is 
Kenmar  Copper  Shingles  possible  to  obtain. 


Ease  of  Application 

Kenmar  Copper  Shingles  are  one  of  the  easiest  roof- 
ing materials  to  apply.  They  are  nailed  to  the  roof  in 
the  same  manner  as  wooden  shingles. 

Economy 

The  cost  of  a  roof  of  Kenmar  Copper  Shingles  is  no 
greater  than  that  of  the  average  good  roof  of  other 
accepted  materials.  The  first  cost  of  a  roof  of  Kenmar 
Copper  Shingles  is  the  last  cost,  because  it  eliminates 
the  cost  of  replacement  or  maintenance  and  even  has  a 
salvage  value  years  later  if  tlie  building  is  demolished. 

While  the  cost  of  laying  per  square  will  vary  some- 
what in  different  sections,  the  average  labor  cost  is 
often  less  than  for  ordinary  wooden  shingles. 

The  weight  of  100  sq.  ft.  laid  with  Kenmar  Copper 
Shingles  is  less  than  half  that  of  wood  shingles.  This 
light  weight  of  the  roof  means  that  the  weight  of  the 
structural  timbers  may  also  be  cut  down. 


Aesthetic  Values  and  Colorings 

The  use  of  copper  in  construction  has  high  aesthetic 
value.  It  has  been  used  for  centuries  in  countries 
throughout  the  world.  This  has  been  due  partly  to  the 
unusual  color  which  copper  takes  when  exposed  to  the 
weather.  This  color  is  in  the  form  of  a  natural  corro- 
sion which  also  acts  as  a  protective  finish. 

Many  of  the  world's  finest  examples  of  architecture 
are  enhanced  by  the  distinctive  color  effects  due  to  the 
use  of  copper  as  all  or  part  of  the  roofing  material. 
For  centuries,  the  green  patina  which  forms  on  cop- 
per on  exposure  to  the  air  in  many  climates  has  been 
used  by  architects  to  secure  the  color  effects  on  the 
roofs  of  their  buildings  not  obtainable  with  any  other 
material. 

With  the  use  of  Kenmar  Copper  Shingles,  various 
color  effects  of  delicate  greens,  soft  greys  and  rich 
browns  of  copper  may  be  achieved  for  the  roof  of  any 
size  building — for  even  the  small  cottage. 


THE  NEW  HAVEN  COPPER  COMPANY

Kenmar  Shingles  Are  Available  in  Four  Finishes 

Natural  Copper — Kenmar  Copper  Shingles  are  avail- 
able in  the  natural  copper  which,  after  laying,  will  (on 
or  near  the  sea  coast)  gradually  turn  to  a  bronze  color 
and  then,  over  a  period  of  years,  to  a  soft,  delicately 
mottled  green  as  the  patina  forms  to  protect  the  copper 
like  an  impervious  paint. 

Patinated — Kenmar  Shingles  are  also  available  in  this 
natural  soft  green  at  the  time  they  are  selected.  A  pre- 
weathering  process  simply  speeds  up  the  natural  weather- 
ing process  so  that  the  green  patina  is  formed  on  the 
copper  shingle  at  the  Kenmar  laboratories. 

Lead  Coated — Kenmar  Shingles  are  offered  also,  at 
a  slightly  higher  cost,  with  lead-coating.  This,  when 
exposed  to  the  weather,  produces  a  soft  grey  tone  simi- 
lar to  that  of  old  lead  roofs. 

Oxidized — In  sections  of  the  country  distant  from 
the  coast,  natural  copper  weathers  to  a  rich  brown  or 
bronze  and  maintains  that  color  permanently. 

Kenmar  Copper  Shingles  are  available  in  this  rich 
brown  through  an  oxidizing  process  at  the  factory,  so 


that  this  weathered  effect  is  immediately  obtainable  as 
soon  as  laid. 

Samples  of  Colors 

We  will  be  pleased  to  send  a  sample  package  of 
Kenmar  Copper  Shingles  showing  the  actual  colors  men- 
tioned above  to  any  architect,  contractor  or  home  owner 
upon  request. 

Sizes  and  Weights 

Sizes  Available — Kenmar  Copper  Shingles  are  made 
of  pure  sheet  copper  in  two  weights — Nos.  30  and  32 
B  &  S  gauge.  They  are  all  16  in.  long  and  come  in  three 
widths — 8,  10  and  12  in.  The  standard  height  of  the 
rolled  lower  edge  is  %  in.,  but  can  be  made  in  other 
heights  on  special  order. 

Weights  Due  to  Spacing  and  Lap — With  the  stand- 
ard 6-in.  exposure  of  shingles  in  each  course  (as  recom- 
mended in  Specifications  which  follow),  the  weights 
per  100  sq.  ft.  laid  w^ill  be  approximately  as  follows :

NOTES  ON  LAYING  OF  KENMAR  SHINGLES 

All  installation  details  covering  copper  flashings,  gutters,  downspouts,  etc.,  and  preparation  for  new  or  re-roofing  jobs,  inchiding 
the  suggestions  below,  conform  to  Standard  Practices  as  recommended  by  the  Copper  and  Brass  Research  Association ;  while 
details  of  actual  laying  of  Kenmar  Copper  Shingles  conform  to  standard  practice  for  laying  of  ordinary  wood  shingles. 

Preparation — New  Work:  One  layer  of  15  lb.  roofing

felt  or  other  insulating  material  shall  be  laid  over  the 
sheathing  before  laying  shingles.  Old  Work:  When  laying 
over  old  wood  shingles,  felt  may  be  omitted  and  bevelled 
wood  strips  used  to  fill  up  steps  in  old  shingles. 

Flashings — For  long  valleys,  against  vertical  wall  sur- 
faces, eaves,  etc.,  follow  the  standard  practice  for  copper 
flashings  as  employed  by  experienced  sheet  metal  contrac- 
tors. 

Short  Valleys,  Dormers,  etc. — These  may  be  flashed 
with  "shingle  flashing"  crimped  like  the  shingles  but  with 
no  toe,  and  laid  with  same  lap  and  spacing  as  shingles.  See 
detail  sketch.  Against  vertical  wall:  Where  shingles  run 
up  to  a  vertical  wall  surface,  "Baby  Flashings"  of  crimped 
shingle  copper  should  be  woven  into  the  shingles  at  least 
3  in.  and  turned  up  the  wall  at  least  6  in.  to  form  a  base 
flashing.  These  can  be  obtained  from  the  Company.  This 
should  then  be  covered  by  a  standard  cap  flashing,  which 
must  lap  the  base  flashing  at  least  3  in.  at  all  points.  This 
cap  flashing  should  be  placed  before  the  final  outside  wall 
covering  is  applied. 

Hips — Center  of  lower  edge  of  shingle  can  be  bent  in- 
ward and  the  shingle  then  bent  to  conform  to  the  hip. 

Ridge  Poles — Standard  copper  ridging  or  ridge  caps  can 
be  used.  Or  shingles  bent  as  for  hips  can  be  used.  Start 
at  both  ends  and  work  toward  the  center.  Instead  of  nailing 
through  the  last  shingle,  this  shall  be  secured  by  two  straps 
of  heavy  gauge  copper,  previously  nailed  across  ridge  and 
long  enough  to  bend  up  over  edge  of  shingle  as  a  clamp. 
(See  detail  sketch.)  For  corners  and  hips,  finials  and  hips 
starters  can  be  obtained. 

Laying  of  Shingles — Shingles  shall  be  laid  with  1%  in. 
(Standard)  to  4  in.  gap  between  them.  Nail  with  copper 
nails  (not  lighter  than  VA  in.  No.  14  on  new  work,  and  2 
in.,  No.  12  when  re-roofing  over  old  shingles).  Nailing  shall 
be  done  about  1  in.  from  either  side  of  shingle  and  about 
10  in.  from  lower  end.  Toe  roll  of  shingle  shall  always  be 
at  the  bottom.  Shingles  shall  be  laid  with  about  6  in.  to  the 
weather  and  with  at  least  3  in.  side  lap  and  4  in.  head  lap. 
At  side  edges  of  roof,  one  end  of  toe  roll  of  shingle  shall  be 
clipped  off  far  enough  so  that  side  of  shingle  can  be  bent 
down  to  cover  the  ends  of  the  roof  sheathing  boards. 

*Note:  This  important  difference  between  other  types  of  shingles  and  Kenmar  Copper  Shingles  must  be  carefullv  observed.  Copper  must  not  come 
in  contact  with  other  metals;  hence,  with  a  roof  of  Kenmar  Shingles  all  flashings,  gutters,  downspouts,  nails,  cleats,  etc.,  shall  also  be  of  copper. 
If  any  question  arises  as  to  application  of  copper  to  flashings,  etc.,  consult  Sheet  Copper  Handbook  of  the  Copper  and  Brass  Research  Association, 
25  Broadway,  New  York.    Free  copies  can  be  obtained  from  the  Association  or  from  this  company.

it  is  an  attractive  light  gray.  It  is  weatherproof,  highly  resistant 
to  corrosion  and  requires  no  painting  or  other  maintenance. 


Laying  J-M  Corrugated  Transite  Roofing 
The  cut  corner  construction  permits  a  tight  joint  with  straight  lap  lines 

Transite  can  be  readily  drilled  or  sawed  and  is  secured  with 
bolts,  screws,  clips,  etc.,  designed  for  that  purpose.  Special 
shapes  of  the  same  material  for  use  as  ridge  roll,  corner  roll, 
louvres,  etc.,  are  available. 

Sizes— Sheets  are  furnished  42  in.  wide  in  lengths  up  to 
11  ft.  They  are  ig  in.  thick  at  ridges  and  valleys  of  corru- 
gations and  A  in.  thick  at  the  slope.  The  corrugations  are 
4.2  in.  pitch.  The  over-all  thickness  of  the  sheets  is  \V2  in. 
Approximate  weight,  4.1  lbs.  per  sq.  ft.  uncrated. 

Application— See  next  page.  Transite  may  be  applied  over 
roof  purlins  spaced  on  not  greater  than  54-in.  centers  (minimum 
roof  pitch  2  in.  per  foot),  and  on  siding  girts  not  over  66  in. 
center  to  center.  Sheets  are  laid  with  a  6-in.  end  lap  and  a 
one-corrugation  side  lap,  providing  an  exposure  of  37.8  in. 

Flat  Transite  Sheets 

Flat  Transite  has  the  same  characteristics  as  Corrugated 
Transite.  It  is  generally  regarded  as  the  outstanding  fireproof, 
corrosion-resistant  building  sheet  on  the  market  today.  Its  at- 
tractive, light  gray  color  and  interesting  texture  also  offer 
definite  decorative  possibilities.  Furnished  36x48  in.,  42x48  in., 
48x48  in.,  and  42x96  in.,  from  %  to  2  in.  thick. 


W.  R.  Transite 

Both  Flat  and  Corrugated  Transite  sheets  can  be  furnished 
with  a  bituminous  impregnation  to  afford  maximum  impermea- 
bility where  the  material  will  be  subjected  to  extreme  or  sus- 
tained moisture  or  acid  conditions. 

W.  R.  Flat  Transite  is  furnished  in  standard  size  sheets, 
42x96  in.,  ^  in.  thick;  42x48  in.,  Vs,  ^  and  ^/i  in.  thick;  and 
36x48  in.,  Vs  and  ^  in.  thick.  Smaller  sizes  can  be  furnished 
on  special  order. 

W.  R.  Corrugated  Transite  is  furnished  in  the  same  sizes  as 
standard  Corrugated  Transite,  but  in  lengths  only  up  to  and 
including  SV2  ft. 

Transite  Flues  and  Stacks 

Transite  Pipe,  one  of  the  newest  J-M  asbestos-cement  prod- 
ucts, is  already  being  widely  used  for  venting  gas  burning 
appliances  because  of  its  unusual  resistance  to  corrosive  gases 
and  fumes.  The  material  is  supplied  in  either  round  or  oval 
form  and  in  a  full  range  of  diameters.  For  complete  data  on 
Transite  Flue  Pipe  and  accessories,  ask  for  Data  Sheet  Series 
No.  331. 

This  same  material  is  also  finding  extensive  application  as  in- 
dustrial stacks,  particularly  where  corrosive  fumes  may  be 
encountered. 

Transite  Ventilators 

Transite  Ventilators,  made  from  Transite  Pipe,  are  designed 
for  use  on  all  buildings  where  fireproof,  fume-proof  and 
weather-proof  construction  is  desired.  They  are  especially 
satisfactory  for  engine  houses,  gas  and  power  houses,  labora- 
tories, factories,  etc.,  where  a  corrosion-resisting  ventilator  is 
essential.  They  never  need  painting  and  have  proved  most 
economical  because  of  their  permanence  and  freedom  from 
maintenance. 

Transite  Pipe  has  a  surface  smoother  than  new  and  clean 
metal,  and  the  design  of  the  ventilators  provides  surface  con- 
tours which  permit  the 
unimpeded  flow  of  ex- 
haust air. 

Transite  Ventilators 
have  no  exposed  metal 
parts  on  either  the  in- 
terior or  exterior  sur- 
faces. This  is  accom- 
plished by  the  use  of 
Transite  throughout 
and  the  protection  of 
bolt  heads  and  nuts  by 
a  cement  similar  to 
Transite  itself. 

Sizes  10  to  24  in.  are 
shipped  assembled. 
Larger  sizes  are 
shipped  knocked  down.

Thickness  of  Copper  for  Exposed  Work 

For  exposed  sheet  metal  work,  16  oz.  to  the  square 
foot  is  the  lightest  weight  copper  that  will  give  satis- 
factory service.  Based  on  this  premise  which  has  been 
carefully  checked  by  eminent  authorities  over  long 
periods  of  time  and  under  varying  conditions  of  actual 
service,  Chase  Standard  Copper  Roofing  Accessories 
are  made  only  of  full  16-oz.  copper  sheet.  Heavier 
weights  can  be  furnished  to  special  order  but  we  do  not 
advocate  nor  make  anything  lighter  than  16  oz. 

As  our  guarantee  of  full  weight  and  also  to  facilitate 
inspection  of  a  completed  installation,  we  indelibly  die- 
stamp  every  length  of  our  downspouts  and  gutters,

United  States  Capitol 

Lyonore  Metal  specified  and  used  for  ventilating  ducts  in  both  wings  of 
one  of  the  best  known  buildings  in  the  world 

Why  You  Should  Specify  Lyonore  Metal 
Chromium-Nickel-Iron  Alloy 

Lyonore  Metal  is  iron  alloyed  with  chromium  and  nickel. 
It  is  made  according  to  a  formula  which  provides  in  a 
commercially  practical  sheet  metal,  remarkably  high  resistance 
to  atmospheric  corrosion.  Its  principal  elements,  chromium 
and  nickel,  have  long  been  known  by  metallurgical  science 
to  be  able  to  withstand  longer  than  any  other  semi-precious 
metals  the  destructive  attacks  of  time  and  weather.  In  the 
manufacture  of  Lyonore  Metal,  its  elements  are  so  propor- 
tionately and  homogeneously  combined  that  they  are  not  unduly 
influenced  by  electrolj^sis.  As  a  result,  Lyonore  Metal  is 
exceptionally  long-lived — and,  figured  over  any  period  of  years, 
costs  much  less  to  install  than  other  sheet  metals  of  similar 
character. 

Uses 

Lyonore  Metal  has  been  specified  and  used  by  architects  and 
engineers  for  all  sheet  metal  work — ventilating  ducts,  dust  collec- 
tor systems,  smokestacks  and  breechings,  flashing,  roofing,  ele- 
vator shaft  linings,  metal  buildings,  etc. — in  many  of  the  finest 
office  and  public  buildings,  hotels,  hospitals  and  schools  along  the 
Atlantic  Seaboard.  It  is  used  for  countless  industrial  purposes 
such  as  canopies,  vat  linings,  air  conditioning  systems,  factory 
roofing  and  siding,  etc.  Galvanized  Lyonore  Aletal  and  Lyonore 
Metal  base  tin  plate  is  widely  used  for  roofing,  conductor  pipe, 
eaves  trough,  flashing,  etc.,  on  private  dwellings  of  every  de- 
scription. Lyonore 
Metal  is  generally 
adaptable  to  any  sheet 
requirement. 


Identification 

For  positive  identification,  each  sheet  of 
galvanized  Lyonore  Aletal  is  stenciled  with 
the  accompanying  trade  mark  in  red  three 
times  diagonally  lengthwise.  Each  length 
of  pipe,  gutter  and  fittings  is  die-stamped 
"Lyonore  Metal"  and  gauge.

GOHI  PURE  IRON-COPPER  ALLOY 


Go  HI  Pure  Iron-Copper  Al- 
loy, identified  by  the  familiar 
GoHi  trade  mark,  is  an  out- 
standing ferrous  metal  for  all 
building  construction.  Homo- 
geneous, soft,  ductile,  Gohi  is 
easy  to  shape,  cut,  stamp,  bend, 
seam,  draw,  form  and  weld.  It 
lends  itself  to  every  sheet  metal 
building  need — and  offers  the 
maximum  life  and  durability, 
resistance  to  wear,  weather  and 
corrosion.  Gohi  gives  perma- 
nence to  the  skill  and  artistry 
of  the  architect.  It  is  a  long-lived,  low-cost  ferrous 
metal. 

For  more  than  half  a  century  The  Newport  Rolling 
Mill  Co.,  Inc.,  has  kept  pace  with  every  new  develop- 
ment and  advance  in  metallurgical  science.  We  believe 
Gohi  is  the  finest  all-purpose  ferrous  metal  produced. 


The  experience  of  users  of 
Gohi  confirms  our  judgment, 
and  is  conclusive  evidence  of 
the  superior  quality  of  Gohl 

Further  proof  of  the  longe- 
vity of  Gohi  is  found  in  its 
widespread  use  in  the  manufac- 
ture of  corrugated  pipe  culverts 
to  protect  the  billions  of  dollars 
of  highways  throughout  the  na- 
tion. Many  of  these  Gohi  Cul- 
verts have  records  of  more  than 
a  quarter  century  of  service,  out- 
lasting the  roads  under  which 
they  are  laid.  Frequently  these  same  culverts  are  relo- 
cated to  give  extra  years  of  service  under  other  highways. 

Such  is  the  inbuilt  stamina  of  Gohi  Pure  Iron-Copper 
Alloy — the  first  choice  of  many  architects  who  specify 
only  the  best,  who  insist  upon  the  highest  quality,  who 
wish  to  give  permanence  to  their  work. 


ARCHITECTURAL  SPECIFICATION  BOOK 

A  wealth  of  information  on  Gohi  Pure  Iron-Copper  tained  in  this  interesting  brochure,  a  valuable,  worthy 
Alloy — specifications,  data  and  suggestions  for  the  use  addition  to  your  library,  which  will  be  sent  on  request 
of  this  fine  metal  for  all  architectural  purposes— is  con-     with  a  leatherette  folder  containingsample  gauges  of  Gohi. 


ACCELERATED  CORROSION  TEST 


The  accelerated  corrosion  test,  a  chart  of  which  is 
reproduced  below,  illustrates  in  a  striki  ng  way  the  re-

THE  NEWPORT  ROLLING  MILL  CO.,  INC. 


The  GoHi  trade  mark  is  one 
of  the  best  known  in  the  sheet 
metal  industry.  It  identifies 
sheets  and  fabricated  products 
designed  to  afford  maximum 
protection  to  buildings,  to  add 
beauty  and  durability,  to  effect 
sharp  economies  in  building 
costs. 

Uniformity  in  metal  structure, 
trueness  to  gauge,  unvarying 
density  of  spelter  coating,  prov- 
en resistance  against  wear, 
weather  and  corrosion,  are  out- 
standing characteristics  of  Gohi, 
making  it  a  logical  choice  of 
architects  and  sheet  metal  con- 
tractors whether  the  require- 
ment is  a  sheet  or  a  carload,  a 
length  of  conductor  pipe  or  ma- 
terial for  the  largest  job. 

GoHi  is  a  practical,  versatile 
metal.  It  asks  no  special  fa- 
vors. It  requires  no  special  han- 
dling. It  is  easily  worked.  It 
involves  no  high  fabrication 
costs  or  extra  hours  of  labor. 
On  the  job  it  stays  "put"  and 
gives  the  lowest  cost  per  year 
protection  and  service.  Meas- 
ured by  any  standard,  Gohi 
Pure  Iron-Copper  Alloy  is,  we 
believe  and  claim,  the  one  fer- 
rous metal  you  can  safely  trust 
under  all  conditions.  It  is  the 
pure  iron  alloyed  with  the  right 
quantity  of  copper  that  gives 
Gohi  its  unusual  life,  the  ability 
to  stand  up  under  severest  pun- 
ishment and  give  years  of  un- 
interrupted, trouble-free  service. 

Jobbers,  dealers  and  hard- 
ware companies  everywhere  sell 
Gohi  sheets  and  formed  prod- 
ucts. A  list  of  dealers  and  dis- 
tributors will  be  furnished  on 
request. 

Insist  on  GOHI 

The  name  Gohi  is  descriptive 
of  the  metal  itself — Genuine 
Open  Hearth  Iron.  Produced 
for  more  than  a  quarter  of  a 
century  on  the  same  basic,  un- 
changed formulae,  Gohi  is  every 
day  proving  its  longevity  wher- 
ever sheet  metal  is  used.  Look 
for  the  trade  mark — it  is  your 
protection  and  guarantee  of 
superior  metal.

Revere  Sheet  Copper,  with  over 
a  century  of  reputation  for  quaHtv, 
is  made  by  Revere  Copper  and  Brass 
Incorporated,  and  marketed  under  the 
Revere  Red,  White  and  Blue  Label. 

Revere  makes  every  type  of  sheet 
copper  in  use  today,  including  plain 
copper,  in  soft  and  hard  tempers,  lead- 
coated  copper,  nickel  and  chromium 
plated  copper,  and  tinned  copper. 

Sheet  Copper  for  Roofing 

Revere  Sheet  Copper  is  the  ideal 
rooting  material.  Because  it  cannot 
rust,  and  because  of  the  absolute  pro- 
tection it  affords  under  all  types  of 
weather  conditions,  it  is  also  an  eco- 
nomical material. 

It  does  not  require  painting  or  pro- 
tective treatment ;  the  first  cost  is  the 
only  cost  involved.  For  these  rea- 
sons, the  ideal  roof  is  one  in  which 
copper  is  used  throughout. 

However,  where  the  preference  of 
the  home  owner  or  style  of  archi- 
tecture dictates  roofs  of  other  ma- 
terials—such as  slate,  shingles,  or 
composition  shingles,  clay  or  cement 
^^^r^^^-^^^^  ^^^^^  Copper  also  plays  an  important  part. 

1^  ashmgs,  valleys,  ridges,  cornices,  gutters,  eaves  troughs  and 
conductor  pipes  should  be  constructed  of  Revere  Sheet  Copper 
to  msure  maximum  protection  against  weather. 

Soft  Copper  (Roofing  Temper) 

Soft  or  (Roofing  Temper)  Copper  should  be  used  for  roofing 
purposes  and  all  fiashmgs  regardless  of  tvpe.  This  type  of  copper 
IS  particularly  suitable  for  these  uses  inasmuch  as  it  is  easily 
worked  and  shaped  and  stands  up  well  under  temperature  stresses 
There  is  no  place  in  flashing— or  counter  flashing— where  soft 
sheets  will  not  serve  better  than  hard  copper.  The  latter  does  not 
lend  Itself  so  readily  to  shaping  on  the  job. 

Hard  Copper  (Cornice  Temper) 

The  material  of  all  shaped  gutters,  eaves  troughs,  drips,  water- 
bars,  leaders,  cornices,  etc.,  should  be  hard  (cornice  temper)  cop- 
per. Its^  stiffness  is  necessary  to  maintain  the  shape,  especially 
against  ice  and  snow  loads.  As  most  shapes  are  of  mill  manufac- 
ture, the  process  is  such  that  the  chance  of  fracture  at  the  bends 
IS  minimized.  All  manufacturers  of  gutters,  leaders,  etc.,  make 
them  of  hard  (cornice  temper)  copper  because  experiment  and 
experience  have  proved  the  practicability  of  this. 

Parallel  Edge  Strip  Copper 

Revere  Parallel  Edge  Strip  Copper  is  recommended  particu- 
larly for  conductor  pipes  of  all  kinds  including  gutters,  leaders,  etc. 
Ihis  product,  free  from  waves  and  wrinkles  and  correctly  tem- 
pered, with  edges  parallel,  is  furnished  in  lengths  of  10  feet  and

in  widths  from  6  to  18  inches  in- 
clusive, which  makes  for  economy  in 
forming.  Each  strip  of  the  16  ounce 
material  is  stamped  ''Revere — Stand- 
ard 16  oz." 

Decorative  Copper  Work 

Practically  any  design  in  relief  can 
be  executed  in  copper.  For  examples 
of  its  use,  see  the  illustrations  of 
ornamental  lead-coated  copper  on  the 
following  pages  on  Leadtex. 

Enameled  Copper 

Porcelain  enamel  (Crystal-Cote) 
may  be  applied  to  Revere  cold  rolled 
copper.  The  range  of  colors  and 
tones  possible  on  copper  are  prac- 
tically unlimited,  and  a  color  can  be 
selected  which  will  blend  with  any 
decorative  scheme.  Revere  porcelain 
enameled  copper  is  suitable  for  both 
outdoor  and  indoor  use.  In  case  of 
accidental  chipping  of  the  enamel 
coating,  the  danger  of  the  coating 
being  further  destroyed  through  rust 
formation  is  eliminated  where  cop- 


per is  used  as  the  base  metal. 

Gutter  Linings  and  Cornice  Ornaments 

Gutter  linings  and  cornice  ornaments  are  exceptions  to  the 
above  rule  concerning  the  use  of  soft  and  hard  temper  copper. 
They  should  be  made  of  soft  (roofing  temper)  copper. 

Gutter  linings  in  any  length  are  peculiarly  subject  to  tempera- 
ture stresses.  The  continual  warping  to  which  the  sheets  are  sub- 
jected is  hkely  to  cause  failure  by  fatigue  at  the  bends  when  hard 
copper  IS  used.  Soft  copper  overcomes  this  cause  of  failure. 

For  ornaments  that  are  stamped  from  dies,  soft  copper  is 
superior  to  hard  copper,  for  the  former  works  more  easily  and 
IS  less  liable  to  fracture. 

Specifications 

Copper  for  flashing  aand  roofing  shall  be  Revere  standard  16  oz.  (20  oz  or 
other  vveights)  soft  (roolin^  temper)  copper  and  shall  be  rolled  from  cakes

Sources  of  Supply 

Revere  Sheet  Copper  is  readily  and  quickly  obtained  through  authorized 
distributors  in  all  parts  of  the  country. 

Literature 

We  will  be  pleased  to  mail  you  a  copy  of  ''Sheet  Copper,"  a  handbook,

The  Exceptional  Architectural  and  Artistic  Qualities  of 
Leadtex 

For  hundreds  of  years  lead  has  been 
used  by  architects  for  many  purposes.  It 
has  been  known  and  admired  for  its 
decorative  and  easily  workable  qualities 
for  exterior  ornaments,  roofs,  leaders, 
leader  heads,  gutters,  flashings,  etc.  The 
patina  which  lead  takes,  when  exposed 
to  the  weather,  has  a  soft  neutral  tone 
which  harmonizes  with  almost  any 
material  and  color  scheme.  Leadtex,  be- 
ing coated  with  lead,  will  naturally  take 
on  a  weathered  finish  similar  to  that  of 
lead. 

What  Leadtex  Is 

Revere  Leadtex  is  Revere  Sheet  Cop- 
per, coated  with  lead.  The  Copper,  a 
rust  proof  metal  in  itself,  is  further  pro- 
tected again  corrosion  and  staining  by 
the  non-rusting  coating  of  lead.  This 
provides  the  architect  with  a  light,  flexi- 
ble and  practically  ever-lasting  sheet 
metal  at  a  minimum  cost. 

The  Special  Advantages  of  Leadtex 

Leadtex  possesses  the  advantage  of 
the  old  lead  work  with  some  important 
additional  features. 

The  Finish — Is  similar  to  lead  as  far 
as  weathering  and  lasting  qualities  are 
concerned. 

Stiffness — On  account  of  the  addi- 
tional strength  and  stiflfness  given  by 
the  copper,  Leadtex  can  be  used  in 
light  gauges  of  metal  in  the  same  man- 
ner and  for  the  same  purposes  that  cop- 
per has  always  been  used. 


Lightness — Its  lightness  reduces  the  weight  of  con- 
struction in  many  instances  such  as  on  roofs,  domes, 
spandrels,  and  ornamental  motifs.  This 
is  an  important  consideration  in  modern 
building  construction.  The  use  of  Lead- 
tex for  spandrels  is  very  well  illustrated 
in  the  photographs  of  spandrel  panels 
on  this  and  following  page. 

Non-staining — The  lead  coating  pre- 
vents the  action  of  the  elements  on  the 
copper  which  sometimes  causes  the 
green  staining  of  other  materials  with 
which  it  is  used,  as  for  example  near 
salt  water  or  wdiere  exposed  to  the  ac- 
tion of  sulphur  fumes  from  smoke 
stacks.  It  is  recommended  that  Leadtex 
be  used  as  flashing,  if  in  contact  with 
stone,  marble,  stucco,  or  cement  work. 

Relief  and  Ornament — The  depth  of 
relief  as  well  as  delicacy  of  detail  possi 
ble  with  Leadtex  is  readily  appreciated 
in  the  accompanying  illustrations.  Lead- 
tex can  be  formed  or  stamped  in  the 
same  manner  as  copper  without  break- 
ing the  lead  coating.  The  lead  coating 
acts  as  a  lubricant  with  the  result  that 
stamping  is  even  more  easily  accom- 
plished with  Leadtex  than  with  plain 
copper  sheets. 

Where,  because  of  design,  it  is  essen- 
tial to  anneal  the  sheet  between  stamp- 
ing operations,  uncoated  copper  should 
be  used  and  the  lead  coating  applied 
following  completion  of  the  stamping. 

Cost — The  advantage  of  costing  only 
slightly  more  than  sheet  copper  makes 
Leadtex  a  product  of  real  importance 
to  the  architect.

Types  of  Finishes  and  Textures 

Leadtex  is  furnished  in  a  smooth  finish,  (Leadtex 
AAA)  and  three  types  of  texture  finishes,  (Leadtex 
Standard  Plain  Finish  and  Heavy),  (Leadtex  Stand- 
ard-Hammered Finish)  and  (Leadtex  Extra  Heavy) 
which  are  illustrated  at  the  right. 

Leadtex  AAA— This  type  of  Leadtex  constitutes  a 
distinct  advance  and  improvement  in  the  production 
of  lead-coated  copper  sheets.  The  coating  \s  pure  lead 
applied  by  a  special  process.  The  surface  is  smooth 
and  the  lead  coating  uniform  throughout  the  sheet. 

Leadtex  AAA  is  not  only  superior  for  architectural 
purposes,  but  has  many  industrial  uses  as  well ;  as  for 
example,  industrial  roofing  where  abnormal  smoke 
conditions  exist  which  result  in  acid  corrosion.  It  is 
also  excellent  for  flues  and  ventilating  ducts  where 
acid  fumes  are  encountered  and  for  other  industrial 
uses  where  lead  offers  definite  resistance  to  corrosive 
conditions. 

Leadtex  AAA  can  be  formed  and  stamped  even 
more  easily  than  other  types  of  lead-coated  copper  and 
it  also  solders  satisfactorily. 

Where  for  the  sake  of  design,  the  metal  is  to  be 
painted,  Leadtex  AAA  should  always  be  specified. 
The  surface  takes  lead  and  oil  paint  perfectly.  No 
special  cleaning  or  priming  coat  is  necessary  which 
cuts  the  painting  cost. 

Leadtex  AAA,  because  of  its  superior  qualities,  is 
recommended  for  all  purposes  where  lead-coated  cop- 
per is  to  be  used,  unless  rough  texture  is  of  prime 
importance. 

Leadtex  Standard  Plain  Finish  and  Leadtex  Heavy 

 These  types,  as  illustrated  at  the  right,  have  an 

irregular,  raised  texture  which  varies  slightly  in  each 
sheet. 

Leadtex  Extra  Heavy— This  extra  heavy  coating  of 
lead  has  a  stippled  or  sanded  effect  in  flat  sheets  before 
forming.  In  working,  the  stippling  is  very  slightly 
flattened  but  still  retains  its  texture. 

Leadtex  Standard-Hammered  finish  has  an  all  over 
splatter  pattern  which  gives  the  effect  of  depth  to  the 
finish. 

Color  of  Leadtex 

The  natural  color  of  Leadtex  is  a  soft,  neutral  tone 
which  harmonizes  well  with  almost  any  material  and 
color  scheme.  It  ages  beautifully,  weathering  to  a  dark 
antique  gray.  Where  it  is  desired  to  have  the  dark  tone 
from  the  first,  it  may  be  produced  by  chemical  treat- 
ment.

WEIGHTS  OF  COPPER  BASE  AND  COATINGS  OF  LEADTEX 

How  to  Specify,  Etc. 


Leadtex — Its  Various  Weights  and  Types 

Leadtex  is  made  with  a  copper  base  of  any  gauge 
and  temper  and  in  the  following  weights  of  lead  coat- 
ings. 

Leadtex  AAA — Coated  One  Side — 6  to  7j/4  lbs.  per 
100  sq.  ft.,  \2y.  to  15  lbs.  per  100  sq.  ft.,  or  20  to  25  lbs. 
per  100  sq.  ft.  applied  to  one  side  of  sheet  only.  Coated 
Both  Sides — foregoing  weights  applied  to  both  sides  of 
the  sheet.  Other  weights  ui)on  a])])lication. 

Leadtex  Standard-Plain  Finish  and  Leadtex  Stand- 
ard-Hammered Finish — Coated  with  approximately 
12  to  15  lbs.  per  100  sq.  ft.  applied  to  both  sides  of  the  sheet 
(6  to  7y2  lbs.  per  side).  This  is  the  minimum  weight  of 
lead  coating  that  should  be  used  on  the  copper  sheet 
for  architectural  purposes. 

Leadtex  Heavy — Coated  with  approximately  25  to 
30  lbs.  per  100  sq.  ft.  aj^plied  to  both  sides  of  the  sheet 
{Xiy.  to  15  lbs.  per  side). 

Leadtex  Extra  Heavy — Coated  with  approximately 
40  to  50  ll)s.  per  100  sq.  ft.  applied  to  both  sides  of  the 
sheet  (20  to  25  lbs.  per  side). 

Copper  Base — For  architeetural  purposes  made  in 
16-18-20,  24  oz.  and  heavier  soft  or  hard  copper  sup- 
plied in  the  foregoing  weights  of  lead  coatings. 

Suggested  Weights  of  Leadtex 

Specify  Leadtex  in  the  same  weights  and  temper 
ordinarily  used  for  copper,  denoting  the  weight  of  lead 
coating  as  follows : 

All  shall  l)e  16  oz.  (or  other  weights)  hard 

(or  soft)  copper  base,  Revere  Leadtex  (AAA  or 
Standard-Plain  Finish  or  Standard-Hammered  Finish 
or  Heavy  or  Extra  Heavy),  (single  or  double  face). 

Leadtex  AAA — For  Painting 

Where  lead-coated  copper  is  to  be  painted,  we 
recommend  the  use  of  Leadtex  AAA  because  of  its 
uniformly  smooth  surface  which  makes  possible  a 


good  painting  job.  This  does  not  require  the  use  of 
any  special  primer. 

Method  of  Application 

The  method  of  applying  Leadtex  for  roofing  and 
other  sheet  metal  work  is  the  same  as  for  plain  sheet 
copper.  The  same  types  of  seams  and  solder  are  used 
as  for  plain  copper. 

Leadtex  Spandrels 

Spandrels  vary  in  size  and  method  of  construction, 
as  well  as  in  the  gauge  of  Leadtex  used,  depending  on 
the  nature  of  the  work  in  hand.  There  is  also  a  wide 
latitude  in  practice  as  to  method  of  framing  and  con- 
necting unit  parts,  as  well  as  anchoring  or  securing 
them  in  place. 

Because  of  the  variety  of  design  of  spandrels,  etc., 
specifications  will  depend  on  the  conditions  of  each 
installation. 

Leadtex  can  also  be  used  with  Macotta  Spandrels. 

Revecon  System 

Leadtex  is  suited  for  the  Revecon  System  of  con- 
struction, either  where  formed-edge  panels  or  flat 
sheets  are  used. 

Leadtex  Readily  Obtainable  by  the 
Sheet  Metal  Trade 

Leadtex  is  distributed  throughout  the  country  and 
is  readily  and  quickly  obtained  by  the  sheet  metal 
trade  through  authorized  distributors  of  Revere  prod- 
ucts. 

Samples  and  Architectural  Service 

Samples  of  Leadtex  in  its  various  finishes  will  be 
sent  gladly  to  any  architect. 

We  will  also  assist  architects  with  all  problems  they 
may  have  regarding  special  details  or  applications  of 
Leadtex.  Our  nearest  ofiice  will  answer  any  communi- 
cations concerning  this  or  other  Revere  products.

CHASE  THRU-WALL 

Chase  Thru-Wall  Flashing  is  a  flashing  installed  en- 
tirely through  masonry  walls.  It  is  made  of  16  ounce 
copper  with  embossed  ridges,  which  are  designed  to  di- 
rect the  flow  of  water  to  the  face  of  the  wall.  This 
prevents  leaks,  plaster  stains,  peeling  paint,  efllorescence 
and  expensive  rebuilding  of  parapet  walls  due  to  break- 
ing down  of  mortar  joints. 


CHASE 

COPPER  FLASHINGS 

Thru-Wall  flashing  should  be  ordered  lead  coated 
when  the  flashing  is  exposed  on  the  outside  face  of 
the  wall  directly  in  contact  with  marble,  limestone 
or  any  light  colored  stone.  Lead  coating  is  also 
used  when  a  neutral  gray  color  is  desired.  All 
Chase  Flashing  can  be  furnished  plain  or  lead  coated. 


Bonds  in  Every  Direction 

Chase  Triplex  Thru-Wall  Flashing  will  meet  speci- 
fications calling  for  flashings  that  will  bond  in  all  direc- 
tions in  the  mortar  bed.  It  resists  all  lateral  and 
vertical  movement.  Chase  Triplex  flashing  consists  of 
a  series  of  *'Z"  bends  which  provides  perfect  drainage, 
as  each  *'Z"  bend  forms  a  weep  hole.  It  also  provides 
for  adequate  expansion  and  contraction  at  each  "Z''  ^ 
bend.  Flashings  providing  a  mechanical  key  in  all  di- 
rections are  now  being  specified  by  most  United  States 
Government  Departments. 


A  continuous  water-tight 
flashing  is  provided  by  over- 
lapping the  ends  of  each 
length  which  interlock.  This 
type  of  connection  eliminates 
the  necessity  of  soldering 


Specifications 

All  flashing  carried  through  masonry  walls  shall  be 
Chase  Triplex  Thru-Wall  Copper  Flashing  as  sold  by 


Chase  Brass  &  Copper  Co.,  Waterbury,  Conn.,  and 
shall  be  placed  in  the  wall  with  mortar  below  and  on 
top  so  that  a  mechanical  bond  is  obtained  in  every  direc- 
tion within  the  mortar  bed. 


Bonds  in  All  Lateral  Directions 


To  provide  a  continuous 
flashing,  the  sheets  are  in- 
stalled with  an  overlap,  which 
forms  a  water-tight  interlock- 
ing joint  without  the  use  of 
solder.  This  method  also  takes 
L-are  of  expansion  and  con- 
traction 


When  installed,  the  general  design  of  the  Chase  Du- 
plex Thru- Wall  Flashing  provides  a  bond  in  all  lateral 
directions.  The  raised  ridges,  to  prevent  right  or  left 
movement,  are  3  in.  apart  and  run  the  full  width  of  the 
sheet.  The  row  of  embossings  to  prevent  forward 
or  backward  movement  are  4  in.  apart.    The  ridges 


running  the  full  width  of  the  sheet  provide  a  second 
advantage,  for  when  a  counter  flashing  is  formed,  the 
face,  due  to  the  ridges,  offers  a  much  greater  resistance 
to  being  blown  up  by  the  wind  than  plain  copper.  The 
pattern  or  design  of  Chase  Duplex  Flashing  is  formed 
to  prevent  the  thinning  or  hardening  of  the  metal  at 
the  ridges. 

Specifications 

All  flashing  carried  through  masonry  walls  shall  be 
Chase  Duplex  Thru-Wall  Copper  Flashing  as  sold  by 
the  Chase  Brass  &  Copper  Co.,  Waterbury,  Conn.  That 
portion  in  the  wall  shall  be  bonded  horizontally  at  inter- 
vals of  not  more  than  3  in.  by  a  series  of  ribs  fV  hi. 
high,  and  a  series  of  raised  projections ;  the  ribs  extend- 
ing the  full  width  of  the  wall.  End  joints  shall  over- 
lap so  that  a  water-tight  joint  is  made  without  soldering. 
The  flashing  shall  be  formed  so  as  not  to  cause  any 
accumulation  of  water  on  the  horizontal  surfaces  and 
the  transverse  bonding  ribs  shall  not  be  drawn  or 
stretched.

Service 

The  Cheney  Company  has  made  a  serious  study 
of  all  kinds  of  seepage  and  flashing  problems,  and 
the  services  of  our  factory  and  field  engineers  are 
always  available  to  architects,  and  opportunities  for 
being  of  service  are  welcomed. 

CHENEY  FLASHING 

Cheney  pioneered  and  introduced  mechanically  Keyed  Thru- 
wall  Copper  Flashing  to  the  Architects  and  Engineers  of  Amer- 
ica. Millions  of  feet  have  been  installed  in  most  of  the  Nation's 
fine  buildings  as  well  as  in  hospitals,  schools,  colleges,  libraries, 
apartment  and  office  buildings  and  industrial  plants. 

Cheney  Flashing  is  too  well  known  and  the  need  for  its  use 
too  widely  understood  to  require  detailed  description  of  what 
it  accomplishes.  Briefly  stated  Cheney  Flashing  scientifically 
solves  leak,  seepage  and  drainage  problems  in  masonry  walls. 
It  positively  prevents  leaks  and  seepage  as  well  as  streaks,  stains 
and  efflorescence  which  disfigure  a  building  and  many  times 
destroy  its  Architectural  beauty.  It  also  prevents  the  rusting 
of  spandrels  and  lintels  and  in  general  permanently  protects 
buildings  from  the  destructive  effects  of  water  penetration. 

The  positive  efficiency  of  Cheney  Flashing  and  its  superiority 
of  design  is  recognized  without  question  by  all  authorities.

Basic  Requirements  for  Really  Efficient  Flashing 

Fundamentally— any  Thru-wall  Flashing  should  function  in  a 
very  definite  manner : 

1st  It  should  form  a  positive  mechanical  Key-bond  in  every 
direction  within  the  mortar  bed — vertically  as  well  as 
laterally. 

2nd  It  should  provide  perfect  drainage  so  that  if  moisture 

should  penetrate  a  wall  it  will  drain  quickly. 
3rd   It  should  provide  adequately  for  expansion  and  con- 
traction. 

4th  It  should  have  a  watertight,  interlocking  lap  that  requires 
no  soldering. 

5th   It  should  have  a  stiff  counterflashing  face  that  hugs 
the  wall  tightly  after  the  base  flashing  has  been  installed. 
All  of  these  features  were  given  careful  study  and  intensive 
testing,  and  their  positive  functionings  were  thoroughly  proved 
before  a  single  foot  of  Cheney  Flashing  was  marketed. 

Hazards  of  Improper  Bond 

The  hazard  of  falling  copings  and  parapets,  caused  by  insuffi- 
cient bonding,  and  the  legal  entanglements  that  ensue  when 
walls  fall  from  this  cause,  are  too  great  to  "take  a  chance" — 
and  there  have  been  many  such  failures  in  this  country  during 
the  past  few  years. 

It  is  highly  improbable  that  the  designers  of  the  Empire  State 
Building,  New  York,  would  have  installed  Cheney  Flashing 
under  the  coping  stones  of  the  parapet  at  the  86th  story,  and 
without  dowels,  had  they  not  been  certain  that  Cheney  Flashing 
formed  a  positive  unbreakable  key-bond — vertically  as  well  as 
laterally  with  the  masonry,  and  would  retain  this  bond  for  the 
life  .of  the  building. 

The  Cheney  ^'Factor  of  Safety" 

Previous  to  the  introduction  of  Cheney  Flashing,  architects 
and  engineers  had  known  for  years  that  plain  copper,  laid 
between  courses  of  masonry,  would  prevent  water  from  pene- 
trating building  walls. 

But,  it  also  was  known  that  such  plain  metal  flashings  would 
break  the  bond  between  the  courses  of  masonry  and  seriously 
weaken  the  walls,  hence  little  protection  of  this  sort  was  ever 
used. 

The  invention  of  Cheney  Flashing,  however,  solved  the  prob- 
lem, and  its  widespread  use  has  been  responsible  for  the  pro- 
duction of  many  new  flashings  of  more  or  less  value.  Today 
however,  as  in  the  beginning,  Cheney  Flashing  stands  without 
equal  or  counterpart  in  the  field.   "It  does  not  break  the  bond."

THE  CHENEY  COMPANY 


The  Keybond  construction  of  Cheney  Flashing  provides  a  "Factor  of  Safety," 
which  includes  two  exclusive  features  that  cannot  be  equalled  by  ordinary  flash- 
ings ;  it  bonds  the  masonry  both  laterally  and  vertically  in  every  direction,  and 
in  addition,  its  exclusive  design  provides  numerous  weep-holes  that  drain  the 
walls  quickly.  The  design  of  the  flashing  also  takes  care  of  expansion  and 
contraction. 

These  Keybond  and  drainage  features  are  of  the  utmost  importance  in  proper 
building  construction. 

The  key  bonding  is  especially  important  in  the  construction  of  high  buildings 
where  severe  storms,  high  winds  and  the  natural  swaying  of  the  buildings  tend 
to  loosen  coping  stones  and  parapets  and  hurl  them  below  with  a  consequent 
loss  of  life  or  serious  damage  to  people  and  property. 

Flashings  that  bond  only  laterally,  therefore,  should  not  be  specified  or  used 
for  copings,  parapets,  cornices  or  other  exposed  areas  with  any  confidence  that 
they  will  provide  safe  or  permanent  protection. 

The  self-draining  feature  is  also  particularly  valuable,  especially  in  cold 
weather  when  it  is  absolutely  essential  that  water  should  drain  from  the  walls 
quickly — before  freezing.  If  permitted,  alternate  freezing  and  thawing  soon 
breaks-up  the  mortar  joints,  sometimes  even  the  stonework  itself,  thus  greatly 
weakening  the  wall. 


Masonry  Bond  Test 


Resistance  to  Rupture  is  the  real  test  for 
any  wall  flashing.  Tests  made  by  Prof. 
Frederick  O.  Anderegg  prove  conclusively 
that  Cheney  Flashing  does  make  a  positive 
mechanical  bond. 

Explanation  of  Test  Diagram 

B — 12x36x42  in.  panel.  F — Cheney  Flash- 
ing. L— Steel  angle  irons.  P — Pulley. 
R— Rope.  W— Weights. 

Two  tests  were  conducted,  one  with  Cheney 
Flashing,  one  with  plain  copper.  After  panel 
had  been  exposed  to  weather  for  28  days, 
weights  were  added  imtil  wall  fractured. 
Test  with  Cheney  Flashing  showed  wall  had 
a  Modulus  of  Rupture  of  27  lbs.  per  sq.  in. 
compared  to  9  lbs.  per  sq.  in.  for  copper 
having  no  vertical  bond.  Before  wall  could 
be  pulled  over,  mortar  in  Cheney  keys  had 
to  be  sheared  off,  proving  an  effective  me- 
chanical anchorage. 

The  force  required  to  pull  the  panel  over 
was  equivalent  to  a  wind  velocity  of  264 
miles  per  hour,  the  full  pressure  of  which 
was  directly  against  the  wall.  Calculated  in 
the  same  way,  the  Cheney  Flashing  would 
ivithstand  a  wind  velocity  of    miles  per 
hour  under  a  six  inch  coping  stone. 

These  figures  are  conservative.  Bear  in 
mind  this  panel  was  only  42  inches  long  and 
lacked  the  stiffening  of  adjacent  sections  of 
the  wall  and  of  cross  walls  at  the  ends.

tion, about  24  in.  per

water  flowed  odt  of 
wall  over  flashing,  from 
each  lower  key,  the 
length  of  panel,  prov- 
ing that  Cheney  Flash- 
ing automatically  pro- 
vides its  own  weep- 
holes.

REVERE  THRU-WALL  FLASHING 

A  Reasonably  Priced  Flashing  for  All  Wall  Conditions 

Materials  and  Identification 

The  flashing  is  made  of  Revere  16  ounce  soft  copper  or 
Revere  Leadtex,  lead-coated  copper.  Both  products  are  noted 
for  their  durability  and  workability.  Each  flashing  is  stamped 
"Revere  Flashing  Pat.  No.  1,928,589." 


metal  contractor.  Revere  Flashing  is  packed  in  containers  o£ 
twenty-five  pieces,  or  enough  to  cover  150  lineal  feet  of  wall. 


Design  and  Structural  Advantages 

The  design  of  the  Revere  Flashing  is  such  that  water  will 
weep  out  of  the  wall  and  lateral  movement  of  the  wall  in  all 
directions  is  prevented,  due  to  the  unusual  mechanical  bond 
between  mortar  and  flashing.  A  water-tight  interlocking  joint 
is  made  between  the  flashing  sheets  without  the  use  of  solder 
to  form  a  continuous  flashing  and  to  take  care  of  expansion 
and  contraction.  This  over-lap  is  2  in.,  which  meets  Govern- 
ment specifications. 

In  the  design  of  the  flashing  there  are  raised  ribs  ^  in.  high., 
spaced  3  in.  apart.  These  are  rolled  into  the  sheet  rather  than 
stamped.  The  ribs  run  all  the  way  across  the  flashing.  This 
provides  a  distinct  advantage  because  when  the  flashing  sheet  is 
bent  to  form  a  4-in.  counterflashing  face,  it  is  much  stiffer  than 
plain  copper  which  tends  to  be  wavy  when  it  has  been  bent  up 
and  down.  There  is  also  a  series  of  embossings,  ^  in.  high 
and  approximately  V-2  in.  wide  and  1  in.  long,  which  prevent  "in 
and  out"  movement. 

Sizes 

Revere  Flashing  is  furnished  only  in  sheet  form  in  widths  of 
8,  10,  12,  14,  16,  18,  20,  22,  24,  30  and  36  in.  and  overall  length 
of  74  in.,  which  when  laid  up  with  the  lap,  measures  72  in. 
The  above  sizes  will  meet  practically  every  flashing  need.  The 
length  of  Revere  Flashing  is  such  that  it  is  easily  handled. 
Where  for  any  reason,  other  widths  than  those  listed  above 
are  required,  they  can  be  cut  to  the  desired  size  by  the  sheet 


Adaptability 

One  of  the  principal  advantages  of  Revere  Flashing  is  its 
adaptability.  All  styles  and  sizes  of  Flashing  can  be  cut,  bent 
and  formed  from  this  sheet  by  the  sheet  metal  contractor. 

Price 

Revere  Flashing  is  very  reasonably  priced.  Due  to  its  inter- 
locking feature  which  makes  a  water-tight  joint  without  the 
use  of  solder,  it  can  be  installed  for  less  than  plain  sheet  metal 
flashing  with  soldered  joints. 

Availability 

Revere  Flashing  is  readily  available  in  every  section  of  the 
United  States  through  Revere  Sheet  Metal  Distributors.  This, 
plus  the  fact  that  all  types  of  flashing  can  be  cut  and  bent  by  the 
sheet  metal  contractor  from  Revere  Flashing,  practically  elimi- 
nates special  orders,  delays  in  shipment  and  other  costly  delays. 

Specification 

Thru-wall  flashing  shall  be  provided  below  the  parapet  cop- 
ing, for  counterflashing  in  masonry  parapets  and  where  low 
roofs  abut  the  superstructure  and  elsewhere  as  indicated  on 
drawings.  That  portion  in  the  wall  shall  be  bonded  horizontally 
at  intervals  of  not  more  than  3  in.  by  a  series  of  ribs  and  raised 
projections  fff  in.  high,  with  ribs  extending  the  full  width  of  the 
wall.  End  joints  shall  be  interlocking  and  over-lapping  at  least 
2  in.  so  that  a  water-tight  joint  is  made  without  soldering.  The 
flashing  shall  be  Revere  Flashing  (Revere  Copper  and  Brass 
Incorporated)  and  shall  be  formed  so  as  not  to  cause  any 
accumulation  of  water  on  the  horizontal  surfaces  and  the 
transverse  bonding  ribs  shall  not  be  drawn  or  stretched.

THRU-BOND  CORRUGATED  EXPANSION  WALL  FLASHING 


Description 

Thru-Bond Cornnjatcd  lixpansion  Wall  flash- 
ing is  a  metal  wall  flashing  formed  with  alternat- 
ing corrugated  and  fiat  surfaces.  It  provides 
at  once  the  maximum  security  from  seepage 
and  leakage  through  walls  and  the  maximum 
bonding  value  with  minimum  cost  of  labor  in 
setting. 

Advantages  of  Thru-Bond 

Corrugations — The  corrugations  in  Thru- 
Bond  are  formed  in  3-in.  widths  in  machined 
rollers,  thereby  retaining  the  full  strength  and 
thickness  of  the  metal. 

The  corrugations  have  a  six-fold  purpose  in 
providing  full  expansion,  perfect  interlock,  con- 
tinuous zvater  channels,  rigidity,  solid  bond  and 
pleasing  appearance. 

Expansion — The  corrugations  allow  full  ex- 
pansion and  contraction  to  follow  any  and 
all  structural  movements  within  the  wall  from 
whatever  cause.  Such  expansion  of  the  flash- 
ing is  of  particular  importance  at  the  lap 
seams  and  it  is  precisely  at  these  seams  that 
Thru-Bond  is  particularly  resilient. 

Interlocking  Laps — Joints  formed  by  over- 
lapping corrugations  to  their  full  width  of 
3-in.  provide  watertight  laps  without  solder- 
ing. 

Continuous  Water  Channel — The  corruga- 
tions of  Thru-Bond  provide  continuous  chan- 
nels by  which  water  readily  escapes  to  the 
outside  of  walls.

Rigidity — The  corrugations  add  rigidity  and 
strength  to  Thru-Bond,  enabling  it  to  with- 
stand the  abuse  to  which  all  flashings  are  sub- 
jected, especially  where  flashing  acts  as  a 
counter-flashing. 

Solid  Bond — Solid  bond  is  secured  by  means 
of  the  corrugated  sections,  spaced  6-in.  on  centers 
and  by  locating  the  alternating  plain  sections 
on  different  levels.  In  addition,  where  the 
flashing  is  to  be  used  in  parapet  walls,  bond 
plates  are  provided  on  all  plain  sections,  alter- 
nating top  and  bottom. 

Appearance — Thru^Bond  presents  a  neat 
appearance  where  exposed.  Its  regular  divi- 
sion into  corrugated  and  plain  sections  pro- 
vides neatness  and  pleasing  appearance. 

Rounded  Bends — All  horizontal  bends  in 
Thru-Bond  are  perfectly  rounded  by  special 
machinery.  This  avoids  flattening  of  the  cor- 
rugations, allowing  full  drainage  and  expan- 
sion. 

Materials 

Thru-Bond  Flashing  can  be  had  in  any  de- 
sired metal,  including  copper,  zinc,  hard  lead, 
lead-coated  copper,  galvanized  iron,  etc. 

Types 

Thru-Bond  Flashing  is  made  in  four  stan- 
dard types  briefly  described  as  follows: 

Type  "A" — For  use  below  roof  line,  over  cornices 
and  lintels,  under  sills  and  for  spandrel  flashing.  This 
type  can  be  bent  to  any  angle. 
Type  **B" — For  use  under  copings,  furnished  with  mortar  bond  plates 
on  all  flat  surfaces,  top  and  bottom. 

Type  "C" — For  use  in  parapet  walls  as  a  through  counter-flashing. 
Type  "D" — For  use  with  1-in.  turn-up  on  inside,  for  all  walls  except 
parapets.  ,  ,•  •  r 

Special  Types — Special  shapes  required  to  meet  conditions  of  any  par- 
ticular job  are  turned  out  at  the  factory  and  shipped  to  the  job  ready  for 
installation.  No  forming  or  other  field  work  is  necessary.

MILCOR  SUPER  EXTRUDED  ALUMINUM  SKYLIGHTS 

U.  S.  Pat.  No.  1,921,303 

Alcoa  Aluminum,  extruded  into  one  piece  sections  having 
many  structural  advantages,  has  made  possible  this  new 
type  of  skylight.  It  is  clearly  evident  from  the  illus- 
tration of  the  rafter  bar  to  the  left,  that  simplicity 
is  the  keynote  of  super  extruded  aluminum  con- 
struction. Condensation  gutters,  shoulders  to 
hold  the  glass,  and  other  necessary  fac- 
tors are  integral  with  the  bar,  thus 
eliminating   the   welding,  mitering 
and  fitting  so  often  required  in 
ordinary  skylights. 

Made  either  from  Alcoa  43S 
or  53ST-5  alloy  aluminum  and 
therefore  free  from  corrosion, 
this  skylight  need  never  be  painted. 
Because  of  its  light  weight,  it  does 
not  require  heavy  roof  construction. 
It  is  shipped  knocked  down,  crated 
and  boxed,  and  is  easily  assembled 
on  the  job. 

Specification  Data— Skylights,  where 
shown  on  drawings,  shall  be  Milcor  Super 
Extruded  Aluminum  Skylights,  erected  in 
accordance  with  the  manufacturer's  in- 
structions on  curbs  shown  on  detail

CORRUGATED  WIRE  GLASS  SKYLIGHTS 


Corrugated  Wire  Glass  (CWG)  is  a  corrugated  sheet  of 
glass  with  wire  netting  incorporated  in  it  during  the  process  of 
manufacture.  Owing  to  the  corrugations  it  has  strength  many 
times  greater  than  any  flat  glass  of  equal  thickness.  To  meet 
the  demand  for  a  strong,  substantial  skylight  CWG  was  adopted 
to  this  use  by  the  Pennsylvania  Wire  Glass  Company  which 
has  specialized  in  this  form  of  construction  for  many  years. 

CWG  Skylights  can  be  placed  on  a  roof  of  any  material,  in- 
cluding corrugated  iron  and  corrugated  asbestos.  CWG  can  be 
used  for  roofs,  sidewalls,  marquises,  canopies  and,  in  fact, 
wherever  daylight  is  desired. 

CWG  Skylights  offer  many  points  of  superiority.  Low  main- 
tenance costs  are  an  important  item.  There  are  no  bars  to  rust 
or  corrode.  No  supplementary  frame  is  used  as  they  are  applied

directly  on  steel  or  wood  purlins  or  curbs,  and  concrete.  They 
have  unusual  resistance  to  vibration  and  temperature  changes 
and  are  completely  weathertight. 

Because  of  the  corrugations,  rain  washes  off  dirt  and  dust, 
making  these  skylights  practically  self-cleaning.  Being  trans- 
lucent they  transmit  diffused  light  with  a  minimum  of  shadows. 

The  Company  maintains  an  engineering  service  department 
for  consultation  regarding  skylighting  and  kindred  problems 
for  which  there  is  no  charge.  Upon  receipt  of  rough  sketches 
or  details  they  will  be  glad  cO  offer  suggestions  for  CWG  Sky- 
lights, roofs,  etc.  Samples  of  any  type  of  glass  manufactured 
will  gladly  be  mailed  on  request.  For  data  on  Flat  Wire  Glass

**^oIus"  Double  Syphon  Roof  Ventilator 

Rectangular  ''^ohis"  Ventilators  for  special  condi- 
tions or  appearance  are  often  used.  These  can  be  built 
complete  to  fit  roof  construction  either  for  ridge  or 
slope.  They  have  been  popular  for  installations  in  and 
around  the  Century  of  Progress. 

Grain  elevators  need  efficient  roof  ventilation.  Many 
installations  on  these  buildings  are  147  ''^olus/'  on  a 


Semi-syphon  and  Deflector  Type  Nuvents 

An  achievement  in  a  moderate  priced  effective  type 
is  our  Nuvent.  After  a  careful  study  of  the  air  cur- 
rents in  action,  this  Nuvent  design  was  perfected  to  fill 
requirements  for  a  compact  ventilator. 

The  semi-syphons  below  deflect  the  air  upward  and 
the  deflectors  at  the  top  also  cause  a  vacuum.

Allen  Multi-Vane  Turbine  Ventilator 

For  many  years  the  unique  features  of  this  turbine  ventilator 
have  appealed  to  architects  and  engineers,  who  have  specified 
and  insisted  on  their  use,  because  of  their  simplicity,  durability, 
quiet  operation  and  efficiency  under  conditions  where  the 
ordinary  ventilator  is  unsuital)Ic. 

The  Turbine  principle  of  exhaust  is  recognized  as  the  most 
efficient  devised.  To  this  turbine  Allen  Engineers  have  added 
the  inverted  displacement  cone  and  famous  inner  multi-vanes, 
exclusive  features  embodied  in  the  construction  of  the  Allen 
Turbine  Ventilator.  Conservatively  rated,  the  published  capaci- 
ties of  Allen  Turbine  Ventilators  are  used  in  determining  the 
numl)er  and  sizes  of  units  to  effect  a  predetermined  number 
of  air  changes  to  meet  the  modern  demand  for  fresh,  health- 
ful air. 


The  Allen  Multi-Vane  Turbine  Ventilator 

Widespread  use  of  the  Allen  Turbine  Ventilators  throughout 
the  world  among  industrial  plants  of  all  kinds,  schools,  institu- 
tions, stores  and  homes  is  ample  indication  of  the  favorable 
esteem  in  which  they  are  held. 

Allen  Electro-Wind  Turbine  Ventilator 

Every  phase  of  the  requirements  for  ventilation  has  been 
considered  and  met  in  the  construction  of  this  Allen  Electro- 
Wind  Turbine  Ventilator.  It  is  exactly  what  the  name  would 
imply,  a  ventilator  which  is  power  operated  for  extraordinary, 
peak  period  requirements,  and  wind  driven  for  normal  exhaust. 
Architects  and  engineers  recognize  this  outstanding  feature  as 
a  remarkable  achievement,  for  its  adaptability  is  not  limited 
by  adverse  static  pressures,  irregular  building  heights  or  other 
wind  obstructions  which  mitigate  the  effect  of  the  ordinary 
ventilator,  fan  ventilator  or  fan.

Arex-Austor 

Scientific  Design — This  venti- 
lator, designed  on  the  orig- 
inal siphonage  principle, 
assures  by  natural  means 
constant,  positive  and  uni- 
form ventilation.  Siphon  or 
vacuo  chambers  are  placed 
to  concentrate  all  wind  cur- 
rents into  a  steady  pulling 
force;  by  means  of  deflec- 
tions opposite  each  siphon 
(see  sectional  view  on  fol- 
lowing page)  a  powerful 
vacuum  is  created,  drawing 
out  air  at  a  tremendous 
speed.  Foul  air,  warm  air, 
fumes,  gases,  vapors,  steam 
and  smoke  are  quickly  and 
completely  removed.  Pass- 
ing wind  plays  upon  the 
siphons  so  as  to  accelerate 
outflow  of  foul  air  from  in- 
terior of  building,  but  it 
permits  no  outside  wind  to 
enter  the  ventilator.  Every 
opening  is  an  outlet.  Under  ordinary  conditions  Arex-Austor 
will  remove  300  cu.  ft.  of  foul  air  per  square  inch  per  hour 
on  a  9-mile  wind  velocity.  Upper  part  consists  of  a  conical 
deflector  top  surrounded  by  a  scientifically  adjusted  broad 
storm-guard,^  making  the  Arex-Austor  absolutely  stormproof. 

Construction — Fabricated  in  one  solid  unit,  no  solder  used, 
every  joint  rigidly  riveted.  No  movable  parts;  no  shutters, 
or  louvers  to  break  off;  no  ball  bearings  to  clog;  no  meaning- 
less fancy  trimmings  to  impede  ventilating  action;  nothing  to 
get  out  of  order — a  ventilator,  simple  in  principle,  durable  in 
construction  and  sure  to  give  year-in  and  year-out  service  with- 
out attention  or  repair. 

Made  of  galvanized  iron,  ingot  or  toncan  metal,  cold-rolled 
copper,  wrought  iron  or  special  metal,  any  size  or  gauge.  Spe- 
cial bases  and  pipe  connections  made  to  order — submit  sketch. 

Arex-Austors,  24  in.  and  upwards,  are  provided  with  brass 
bolts  connecting  the  frustum  to  siphons.  This  permits  installa- 
tion in  two  halves  and  facilitates  painting  inside  and  outside 
at  any  time  after  they  have  been  installed. 


Condensation  arrestors  furnished  at  nominal  cost 
when  requested.

Engineering  Service  — 
Our  Engineering  Depart- 
ment will  solve  your  venti- 
lating problems.  First  and 
foremost  requirement  is  air 
exhaust  capacity.  Every 
factor  that  makes  for  or 
against  results  is  of  vital 
importance.  The  mere  pur- 
chase of  ventilating  units 
does  not  in  itself  always 
solve  a  problem.  That  is 
why  we  with  nearly  30 
years*  experience  and  the 
record  of  200,000  successful 
installations,  recognizing  our 
position  and  responsibility 
as  the  largest  exclusive 
manufacturers  in  this  field, 
surround  our  product  with 
an  engineering  service  aimed 
to  assure  maximum  Arex 
efficiency. 

This  service  consists  of  analyzing  a  problem,  preparing  sketch 
or  blueprint,  making  correct  recommendation  and  giving  val- 
uable information  and  expert  advice  on  this  all-important  sub- 
ject of  ventilation.  Expert  advice  without  obligation.  It  will 
pay  you  to  investigate.  Thousands  of  installations  without  a 
single  complaint. 

Caution:  The  phenomenal  success  of  Arex  Ventilators  has 
provoked  petty  imitations  by  name,  design  or  principle.  Beware 
of  such  infringements.  Arex  is  the  only  trade-name  under 
which  our  ventilator  is  sold. 

Manufacturing  Facilities 

Our  modern  plant  and  warehouse  at  South  Gary,  Ind.,  afford

THE  BURT  MANUFACTURING  COMPANY 

Manufacturers  of  Roof  Ventilators 
600  Main  Street,  AKRON.  OHIO 

OVER  75  FACTORY  REPRESENTATIVES  IN  PRINCIPAL  CITIES  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES  AND  CANADA 
Name  and  address  of  your  nearest  representative  will  gladly  be  supplied  on  request 


BURT  VENTILATORS— A  SIZE  AND  TYPE  FOR  EVERY  CONDITION 

Standard  material  is  high  grade,  prime  open-hearth  Galva- 
nized Steel.  Optional  materials  are  Copper  Bearmg  Steel, 
Toncan  Metal,  Armco  Ingot  Iron,  Cold  Rolled  Copper,  Lead 
Coated  Copper,  Zinc,  Aluminum,  Alonel,  Stainless  Steel  and 
Feltcote  Protected  Ivletal.  Each  unit  is  fully  guaranteed  against 
defects  in  material  and  workmanship. 


Thirty-five  years'  experience  has  definitely  proven  that  no  one 
type  of  roof  ventilator  can  adequately  handle  all  prohlems.  For 
this  reason,  the  Burt  line  contains  several  types,  one  of  which 
or  a  comhination  of  which  will  fit  any  particular  application. 

Each  unit  is  constructed  with  workmanship  such  as  only  long 
experience  can  produce. 


BURT  MONOVENT  CONTINU- 
OUS RIDGE  VENTILATOR 

Here  is  a  ventilator  unit  which  enables  its 
user  literally  to  "take  the  roof  off."  It  not 
only  provides  a  uniform,  storm-proof  opening 
the  entire  length  of  a  roof,  but  also,  due  to 
its  design,  harmonizes  architecturally  with 
the  building  design  and  avoids  entirely  the 
broken  roof  line  of  the  unit  ventilator.  Capac- 
ity Tables,  based  on  Stack  Effect  only  are  ex- 
tremely conservative  since  capacity  will  be 
increased  when  wind  blows  across  the  unit. 
Can  be  applied  to  ridges,  slopes,  decks  and 
built-up  curbs  without  special  roof  treatment. 
Available  in  standard  and  optional  materials.

Type  60 


Superiority  of  Monovent  Construction 

(1)  Scientifically  designed  windband  gives  architectural  symmetry  and  maxi- 
mum wind  suction  effect,  together  with  storm-proofness.  (2)  Inner  deflecting 
baffle  prevents  back  draft  from  outside  upward  flowing  air  currents  and  directs 
internal  circulation  to  secure  greatest  wind  suction  effect.  (3)  Roof  flange  is 
broken,  at  the  factory,  to  the  exact  roof  pitch,  avoiding  unnecessary  built-up 
frames.  Can  be  prepared  for  ridge,  slope,  deck  or  curb.  (4)  Drain  openings 
large  to  avoid  clogging  and  adjacent  to  warm  airshaft  to  keep  snow  melted  out. 
(5)  Airshaft  braces  cause  least  interference  with  roof  members  while  amply 
bracing  unit.  (6)  Windband  braces  designed  to  eliminate  any  rocking.  (7)  Op- 
erating mechanism  is  housed  beneath  damper,  fully  protected  from  weather. 
Damper  operates  vertically  with  minimum  chain  pull.  As  many  as  four  lO-ft. 
lengths  of  damper  can  be  operated  as  a  unit  in  some  sizes.  With  fusible  link  in 
operating  chain,  it  becomes  fire-retarding  automatic  closing.  (8)  Screens  are 
framed  and  rest  on  upper  windband  cross  braces.  Fastened  by  screws  they  are 
easily  and  quickly  removable  for  cleaning.  (9)  Sections  are  uniform--fit 
each  other,  end  fittings  and  damper  junction  baffles  without  tailoring  on  jol). 
(10)  Available  in  all  materials. 

Monovent  Applied  to  Industrial  Ventilation 

A  comparison  of  capacities  and  prices  shows  that  the  same  air  movement  can  be  secured 
with  the  Monovent  at  a  saving  of  Vs  over  the  cost  of  unit  gravity  ventilators.  At  the  same 
time  a  more  even  exhaust  distribution  is  secured.  When  conditions  are  severe  or  where 
certain  spots  require  intensive  exhaust,  a  combination  of  Monovent  and  Forst-Aire  Fan 
units  will  be  found  ideal. 

Monovent  Applied  to  Residential  Ventilation 

The  3-  and  4-in.  sizes  of  Monovent  are  designed  expressly  for  the  natural  ventilation  of 
residential  attics.  As  a  rule  lack  of  air  circulation  in  these  spaces  during  hot  weather  pro- 
duces a  "bake-oven"  effect  which  affects,  to  a  marked  extent,  the  temperature  of  the  rooms 
below.  Monovent  applied  at  the  roof  ridge  with  air  inlets  to  the  attic  will  greatly  reduce 
this  "bake-oven"  effect.  , 

Note:  Sections  of  Monovent  are  10-ft.  overall  length.  The  1-in.  lap  at  each  section  joint 
causes  a  loss  of  V2  in.  per  joint  in  net  ventilator  length.

ing as  skylight  as  well  as 
ventilator.  This  unit  is 
moderately  priced  and  well 
made,  having  been  in  the 
Burt  line  for  thirty  years. 
Although  its  air  moving  ca- 
pacity is  not  so  great  as 
the  High  Efficiency  Cone 
Damper  Unit,  the  Sliding 
Sleeve  Damper  offers  little 
obstruction  in  the  airshaft 
and  does  not  create  air 
turbulence  in  any  position. 
Glass  Top  equipped  with 
heavy  ribbed  wire  glass  se- 
cured by  notched  rim  and 
water  proof  cement.  Avail- 
able in  all  materials. 


A  finely  balanced,  high

bearings  are  designed  for 
iiigh  speed,  silent  rotation. 
The  Century  Turbine  is  sym- 
metrical in  design  and  low  in 
height.  It  is  usually  specified 
for  schools  and  similar  build- 
ings because  of  its  very  pleas- 
ing appearance.  Twenty-inch 
sizes  and  larger  are  equipped 
with  internal  baffle  and  multi- 
blade  fan  for  added  efficiency 
and  absolute  weatherproof- 
ness.

EFFICO  WIND-ELECTRIC  VENTILATOR 

Exhausts,  Wind  or  No  Wind  (FULL  AUTOMATIC) 


When  the  wind  is  blowing  sufficiently  to  drive  the  wind  tur- 
bine, and  remove  the  desired  amount  of  air  from  the  building 
being  ventilated,  the  electric  motor  in  ventilator  is  still.  Instantly, 
when  the  wind  turbine  moves  below  previously  determined  revo- 
lutions, the  electric  fan  carries  the  load,  starting  automati- 
cally and  runs  until  the  wind  again  drives  the  wind  turbine. 

The  electric  motor  is  cut  off  and  on 
automatically. 

Static  Pressure — Motor  and  fan  can  be 
supplied  to  pull  against  %-in.  static  resist- 
ance by  the  employment  of  motor  only,  or 
motor  and  wind  turbine.  This  will  have  no 
deteriorating  effect  on  using  apparatus  for 
regular  ventilating  purposes. 

Many  Valuable  Features 

This  ventilator  has  every  feature  pos- 
sessed by  the  Effico  Wind-Driven  Head. 
Every  feature  of  the  Effico  Internal  Louver 
Ventilator.  Also  possessing  the  added 
wonderful  requisite  of  exhausting  a  given 
volume  of  air  always.    (Wind  or  no  wind.) 

Master  Ventilator  (Hirschman  Method) 

An  installation  need  only  comprise  one 
Automatic  Ventilator,  the  other  ventilators 
may  all  be  controlled  by  this  Master  Venti- 
lator, also  fresh  air  and  recirculating  damp- 
ers, supply  fans,  etc.,  can  be  controlled  auto- 
matically by  this  Master  Ventilator,  and  is  ad- 
justable to  other  capacities  after  installation. 


Selecting  a  Ventilator 

When  in  need  of  a  ventilating  apparatus  it  is  best  to  choose 
one  that  does  not  depend  upon  mechanical  exhausting  only, 
for  a  good  roof  ventilator  is  acknowledged  to  be  superior  to 
an  arrangement  that  closes  entirely  unless  the  motor  is  running. 

Dampers 

Effico  Wind-Electric  Ventilators  are  sup- 
plied with  tight  fitting,  carefully  bal- 
anced dampers.  The  larger  sizes  are  fur- 
nished with  Effico  Multiple  Circular  Louver 
Dampers. 
See  page  2  of  our  catalogue. 
All  dampers  are  operatable  by  chain,  elec- 
trically, or  by  compressed  air  in  connection 
with  thermostatic  controlled  heating  and 
ventilating  systems. 

Pneumatic  or  electric  damper  control  is 
supplied  and  installed  in  the  ventilator  if 
desired.

EFFICO  ROTARY  BALL 
WIND 

Effico  Rotary  Ball  Bearing  Roof  Ventilators 

Construction  and  Principle  of  Operation 

The  Effico  rotating  cowl  exterior  is  covered  by  wind  pro- 
pelled blades ;  interior  by  suction  blades.  There  are  no  moving 
parts.  Effico  shaft  rotates  on  ball  bearings,  fitted  with  clock 
precision  in  solidly  enclosed  dust-tight  and  oil-tight  housings, 
and  flooded  in  inches  of  non-freezing  oil  (furnished  by  us); 
no  oiling  required  for  years  (proven),  but  we  oil  flood  them 
as  an  extra  precaution,  and  the  Effico  is  absolutely  noiseless. 
No  drip  pans  or  bird  screens  are  needed. 

Cost 

Effico  Ventilators  exhaust  more  air  per-dollar-cost  of  in- 
stallation. The  wind  (only)  driven  heads  exhaust  greater  vol- 
umes and  during  lower  winds,  thus  a  greater  capacity  within 
a  given  period.  Effico  Wind-Electrics,  of  course,  are  100% 
constant.  See  first  page  of  our  catalogue. 


BEARING  VENTILATOR 
DRIVEN 

Great  Air  Volume  Exhaust  at  Low  Wind 

All  Efficos  will  draw  considerable  air  at  a  1-mile  breeze  (an 
apparent  calm)  without  stack  or  heat  assistance.  Cowl  outlet 
is  over  50%  larger  than  its  stack  area,  which  is  ample,  as  no 
wind  enters  ventilator  to  gain  the  so-called  siphonage  effect. 
Suction  fan  is  same  size  as  rotating  cowl  (note  dimension 
chart).  Thus  each  Effico  is  equipped  with  fan  over  50%  greater 
in  diameter  than  its  stack  area.  Ean  pulls  air  up  stack  at  even 
tlie  slowest  turning  movement  and  wind  blowing  across  the 
outlet  adds  to  its  efficiency. 

Corrosion  Protection 

Interior  fabrication  members  are  rustproofed  by  Parker 
Process. 

Symmetry 

The  Effico  has  artistic  lines  and  pleasing  appearance.  Lowest 
in  height  of  rotary  ventilators  by  over  50%  average.  Note 
dimension  chart. 

Specifications — See  our  page  6,

Effico  Skylight  Ventilator  Base  (Puttyless) 

The  Effico  Skylight  Ventilator  Bases  have  a  glass  area  at 
least  equivalent  to  their  roof  area.  Rain  in  and  blov^  in  are 
entirely  eliminated.  No  swinging  sash  to  operate,  and  the  ven- 
tilation is  perfect.  Serves  the  dual  purpose  of  giving  real  ven- 
tilation and  allowing  daylight  into  the  building,  one  opening  in 
the  roof  serving  both  purposes.

F  FAN  VENTILATOR— NON-AUTOMATIC 


Design — Appearance — Construction 

Strength  (sturdy  construction),  weatherproof- 
ness,  and  appearance  arc  given  consideration  in 
the  design  of  this  ventilator. 

For  free  air  or  as  a  pressure  blower  is  de- 
cidedly an  apparatus  of  high  merit. 

Exhaust  Head 

The  design  is  such  that  air  driven    ft. 
velocity  through  the  head,  registers  only  .032 
in.  water  gauge  static  pressure.  This  is  un- 
equalled by  any  other  known  shape.  Thus  for 
a  fan  or  exhaust  head,  it  is  unequalled.  When 
so  used  and  the  fan  is  cut  off  the  ventilator  still 
ventilates  as  a  syphon  ventilator.  There  arc 
no  shutters  to  blow  or  freeze  shut. 

Head  only  may  be  purchased  for  use  as  outlet 
for  large  fan  discharge.

Recommendation 

A  high  class  ventilator  where  a  high  exhaust 
velocity  against  resistance  is  required.  Where 
the  Effico  Rotary  Head,  or  the  Effico  Wind- 
Electric  Automatic  Ventilator,  due  to  obstructed 
location  or  moderate  even  capacity,  is  not 
adaptable,  then  we  recommend  the  F  Fan 
Ventilator. 

Adaptable  for  Public  Lavatories,  Bakeries, 
Hotel  and  Restaurant  Dining  Rooms  and  Kitch- 
ens,^ Chemical  Laboratories,  Industrial  Plants, 
Projection  Rooms  in  Theatres  and  in  all  places 
for  the  exhausting  of  fumes,  dust,  gases,  ex- 
cessive heat  or  steam. 


Isolated  F  Fan  Ventilator 

A  power  ventilator  of  same  characteristics 
as  the  "F,"  except  having  the  isolated  motor. 
Also  furnished  with  double  and  triple  isolated 
shell  for  extreme  fire  conditions  and  code  re- 
quirements. Explosion  proof  motors  furnished 
if  required. 

Also  used  for  extreme  conditions  which 
might  deteriorate  motor.  Note  perfect  ventila- 
tion of  motor  chamber  which  may  also  be 
equipped  with  fixed  yet  removable  weather 
deflecting  louvers  when  so  required  to  enclose 
motor  chamber.

Design — Appearance — Construction 

This  ventilator  has  been  manufactured  by  us  for  over 
10  years.  It  is  a  low  priced  electric  ventilator  and  is 
80%  as  efficient  as  our  "F"  Electric  Ventilator. 

This  ventilator  is  constructed  of  high  grade  materials 
only  and  workmanship  is  first  class  as  in  all  other 
Hirschman  products. 


Capacities 

For  power  capacities  use  'T"  Elec- 
tric capacities  as  shown  on  opposite 
page  less  20%.  For  capacities  as  a 
syphon  ventilator  without  motor  run- 
ning use  our  Firma  capacities  as  given 
below. 

For  a  pressure  exhauster  of  over  ^-in. 
static  we  recommend  our  "F"  Electric 


LEROY  ELECTRIC  FAN  VENTILATOR 

Ventilator  as  described  on  page  3.  For  indus- 
trial application  where  noise  is  not  the  determining 
factor,  considerably  increased  capacities  can  be 
furnished. 

This  ventilator  may  be  furnished  with  or  without 
base  or  damper,  and  damper,  if  furnished,  may  be  con- 
trolled by  chain  or  by  our  electric  damper 
control,  also  controlling  fan  motor,  etc.

The  Hirschman  Electric  Control  will  operate  any 
type  of  damper,  round,  square,  rectangular,  or  multi- 
blade  in  either  vertical  or  horizontal  position,  will  con- 
trol motor,  louvers,  etc.,  in  any  part  of  the  building. 

Requires  no  attention  or  oiling  and  is  totally  enclosed. 
This  electric  control  is  absolutely  positive  and  holds 
the  subject  rigid  in  desired  position  and  also  makes  it 
possible  to  so  co-ordinate  that  fan  motor  cannot  be 
operated  when  dampers  are  closed. 

Two  position  control  requires  two  or  three  wires. 
Three  position  control  re- 
quires three  or  four  wires 
between  switch  and  appara- 
tus, dependent  on  local  con- 
ditions. 

We  manufacture  multiple 
louver  dampers,  round  or 
square.  Also  fire,  self -locking,    ^.    ,  .  ,v

FACTORY

AGENCIES  IN  PRINCIPAL  CITIES 


Product 

"K-S-V's"  (Kernchen  Siphonage  Ven- 
tilators). 
Also  Utility  Ventilators  (Plain  Type). 

"K-S-VV\Are  Correct  Siphons 

The  correct  siphon  is  the  most  powerful 
pulling  force  known  to  this  field  of  ventila- 
tion. It  not  only  exhausts,  but  it  pulls  ter- 
rifically. Siphons  harness  the  lightest  air 
currents,  compressing  and  compelling  them 
to  co-act  in  mightily  increasing  the  suction 
of  air  out  through  ventilator. 

Construction 

Simplicity  of  construction  and  complete 
absence  of  the  friction  inevitably  involved  in 
old-style  rotary  mechanisms  make  the 
"K-S-V"  (Kernchen  Siphonage  Ventilator) 
a  troubleproof,  lasting  investment.  Free  area  of 
outlet  over  200%  of  pipe  area.  Nothing  to 
choke  or  hinder.  Friction  at  minimum,  exhaust 
at  maximum. 

Eduction  pipe  is  cylindrical  with  V-shaped 
notches  or  openings  at  top,  each  covered  by  a 
siphon  tapered  inwardly  toward  top,  the  total 
of  four  siphons  being  covered  by  a  jacket  of 
conical  shape,  whereby  other  siphons  (four)  arc 
formed,  greatly  increasing  the  terrific  pulling 
power.  In  addition,  a  top  construction  of  two 
specially  designed  hoods  is  used,  augmenting 
considerably  the  pulling  force  and  making  the 
unit  stormproof. 

Absence  of  friction,  no  revolving  mechanism 
being  present,  means  silent  performance,  nothing 
to  w^ear  out,  nothing  flopping  around,  no  main- 
tenance cost.  A  rotary  requires  a  certain 
wind  energy  to  swing  it  around  before  it 
gets  ready  to  ventilate.  The  "K-S-V"  uses 
this  wind  energy  to  ventilate. 

Materials 

Furnished  in  all  standard  gauges  and  in 
any  size.  Made  of  any  metal  desired,  such 
as  galvanized  steel.  Keystone  copper  steel, 
Armco  iron,  Toncan  metal,  cold  rolled  cop- 
per, aluminum,  zinc,  monel  metal,  wrought 
iron,  etc.  Furnished  with  or  without  base 
damper  or  condensation  arrestor.

OFFICIAL  TESTS 

Nothing  is  more  deceptive  than  irresponsible  theoretical  tests.  Exaggerated  performance 
figures  will  appear  to  be  justified  at  times  by  laboratory  tests  conducted  under  conditions 
which  are  more  favorable  than  those  found  in  actual  service.  It  is  only  when  laboratory  and 
field  tests  agree,  that  the  results  can  be  taken  as  conclusive. 

Note  particularly  the  consistent  figures  in  the  two  accompanying  tests  by  national  authori- 
ties, one  conducted  in  the  laboratory,  the  other  on  the  Leader  Building  installation  in  Cleve- 
land, Ohio.

Built  for  long  life  and 
satisfactory  service.  Note  ex- 
ceptionally strong  frame  and 
blade  construction 


Milcor  Nu-Air  Ventilator 

Description — Rigidly  built,  scientifically  de- 
signed to  create  upward  suction  of  air  within 
the  flue  regardless  of  wind  direction.  Outer 
air  currents  rush  in  between  the  weather  band 
and  curved  deflector.  Currents  travel  upward 
and  outward,  constantly  discharging  a  full  vol- 
ume of  impure  air  through  the  ventilator  shaft. 
Furnished  with  steel  or  glass  top.  Suitable  for 
factories,  industrial  plants,  schools,  hospitals, 
air  ports,  homes,  etc. 


Milcor  Turbine  Ventilator 

Description — The  slightest  motion  of  air  is  suf- 
ficient to  operate  the  Milcor  Turbine  Ventilator. 
A  vacuum  is  created  as  soon  as  the  head  begins  to 
revolve  because  the  air  within  the  head  is  expelled 
by  centrifugal  force.  Actually  pulls  out  the  im- 
pure air  automatically,  continuously  and  silently. 
Down  drafts  a  mechanical  impossibdity. 

Strong  frame  work.  Equipped  with  Alemite 
fittings  and  when  once  installed  requires  no  atten- 
tion, care  or  adjusting. 


Milcor  Nu-Alpina  Ventilator 

Description — Entire  revolving  head  of  this 
ventilator  constantly  faces  away  trom  the  wind. 
A  vacuum  is  thus  created  which  adds  to  the 
syphonating  power  of  the  wind  currents  entering 
the  opening  at  the  bottom  of  the  revolving  head. 

Staunchly  constructed  and  rigidly  braced 
Nothing  lighter  than  26-gauge  galvanized  steel 
is  used  in  fabrication.  It  has  a  cast  bronze 
ball  race  with  solid  brass  ball  bearings,  and  is 
painted  with  a  heavy  coat  of  aluminum.

AGENTS  IN  ALL  PRINCIPAL  CITIES 


Because  of  the  ingenious,  effective  way 
in  which  it  harnesses  and  utiHzes  outside 
air  currents,  the  Liberty  Ventilator  repre- 
sents the  supreme  achievement  of  modern 
engineering  skill. 


LIBERTY  SIPHONAGE  VENTILATOR 

The  following  data  was  compiled  by  our 
Engineering  Department  and  also  under 
actual  conditions  while  in  competitive  test. 

LIBERTY  VENTILATOR  DATA 


All  of  the  air  currents — upward,  down- 
ward, horizontal  or  swirling — are  brought 
under  control  and  forced  to  perform  their 
task  of  drawing  heat,  foul  air,  steam 
fumes,  smoke  or  floating  dust  up  and  out 
of  the  building. 

The  Liberty  Ventilator  utilizes  four 
principles  of  physical  science:  (1)  air 
impingement;  (2)  positive  and  negative 
air  action  (pressure  and  vacuum)  ; 
(3)  siphonage;  (4)  stack  action.

Iiiberty  Ventilator  Capacities — These  figures  are 
based  on  the  following  conditions:  Wind  velocity — 10 
miles  per  hour;  difference  in  temperature  of  indoor  and 
outdoor  air — 20*  F.;  height  of  ventilators  above  intake — 
30  ft. 


PENN  POWER  VENTILATOR 


The  power  unit  was  developed  by 
Penn  Ventilating  Engineers  to  meet  ad- 
verse conditions  in  the  ventilating  field, 
where  a  fan  motor  is  essential  as  an 
auxihary.  When  dust,  fumes,  heat, 
smoke,  etc.,  must  be  exhausted  periodi- 
cally, or  when  resistance  to  flow  (static 
pressure)  is  encountered,  we  recommend 
the  Penn  Power  Ventilator.  When  the 
motor  is  not  in  operation  this  unit  is  so 
constructed  to  give  the  same  exhaust 
capacity  as  the  Liberty  Siphonage  Venti- 
lator.

''RoyaT'  Double  Cone  Ventilator 

The  "Royal"  is  so  designed  that  full  advantage  is  taken  of  the  wind 
to  produce  additional  draft.  Complete  tenewal  of  air  is  accomnlished 
under  the  most  difficult  and  unusual  conditions  by  installing  "Royal" 
])ouble  Cone  Ventilators.  The  many  uni(iue  and  original  principles  em- 
bodied in  the  design  of  the  "Royal"  make  it  100%  effective  and  insure 
positive  ventilation  under  any  weather  condition.  Tapered  frustums  de- 
flect the  outer  air  over  and  under  the  edges  of  the  frustums  resulting  in 
a  powerful  suction  in  the  tube;  this  means  maximum  exhausting  capac- 
ity. Foul  gases,  etc.,  will  readily  pass  out  even  when  no  wind  is  blowmg. 
The  inverted  or  bottom  cone  of  the  "Royal"  avoids  the  creation  of  eddies, 
the  outgoging  air  having  a  free  outlet  unimpeded  by  excess  friction. 
The  upward  moving  foul  air,  etc.,  strikes  the  inverted  cone  and  is  drawn 
directly  upward  and  outward. 

The  "Royal"  is  not  affected  by  down-drafts. 

Construction — Superior  and  exclusive  construction  features  include 
lapped  seams,  giving  three  thicknesses  of  metal  at  joints,  usually  the 
weakest  point.  Wired  edges  and  galvanized  malleable  iron  or  copper 
stays  so  arranged  that  they  cannot  interfere  with  the  passage  of  air 
currents.  The  double  cone  has  standing  seams  and  gives  two  thicknesses 
of  metal  instead  of  one. 

Adapted  for  foundries,  powerhouses,  factories,  as  well  as  schools  and 
other  buildings. 

Made  in  standard  sizes  2  to  96  in.

ia» 

The  Royal  Fan  Ventilator  is  de- 
signed for  buildings  requiring  im- 
mediate exhaust  of  hot  air,  fumes, 
smoke,  steam,  etc. 

The  head  with  Inverted  Cone  is 
similar  in  design  to  the  Roval 
Double  Cone  Ventilator  except  that 
depth  of  cone  has  been  increased 
and  lower  cone  extended  beyond  up- 
per cone.  Friction  is  eliminated,  a 
direct  outward  passage  of  air  is  as- 
sured: Upper  and  lower  frustums 
have  been  extended  to  prevent  out- 
side air  from  entering  ventilator, 
make  same  storm  proof  and  increase 
capacity  when  motor  is  shut  down. 

Motors  can  be  furnished  for  any 
combination  of  current  specifications.

Patents 

Robertson  Ventilators  arc  protected  by  United  States 
Patent  No.  1,589,581,  June  22,  ;  Canadian  Patent  No. 
244,617;  other  patents  allowed  and  pending;  also  pro- 
tected by  patents  in  other  countries. 


The  Robertson  Ventilator 

Robertson  Ventilator  is  a  stationary  type,  of  great  capacity. 
Its  height  makes  it  possible  to  have  free  area  outlets  almost 
three  and  one-quarter  times  the  stack  area.  This  permits  unob- 
structed passage  of  air.  The  ventilator  is  enclosed  in  a  suction 
band  which  increases  the  area,  displaces  more  air  and  causes 
a  great  vacuum  action  from  passing  winds.  Because  of  the 
area  of  the  free  air  outlets  and  the  suction  band  action,  it  is 
usually  possible  to  obtain  ample  ventilation  with  a  smaller  num- 
ber of  Robertson  Ventilators  than  with  other  types  with  a 
more  standard  rate  of  discharge.  This  fact  should  be  borne  in 
mind  zvhen  figuring  costs  on  Robertson  Ventilation  installations. 

Importance  of  Ordering  by  Exhaust  Capacities— Ventila- 
tors are  sold  by  sizes  expressed  in  inches.  These  sizes  refer  to 
width  of  stack  opening  and  not  to  over-all  width  of  ventilator. 
However,  over-all  width  has  a  direct  bearing  on  exhaust 
capacities  because  it  affects  air  displacement.    Two  ventilators 

of  the  same  rated  size  may  be 
greatly  different  in  actual  size. 
The  safe  way  toorder  ventila- 
tors is  by  exhaust  capacities. 

Capacities  of  Robertson 
Ventilators  (in  actual  field 
service)  have  been  deter- 
mined under    sets  of 
conditions.  These  figures 
are  published  in  a  data  book 
zvhich  will  be  sent  on  re- 
quest. Capacities  of  various 
sizes  under  one  set  of  con- 
ditions are  given  at  right. 

Construction  Details — 
Robertson  Ventilators  are 
made  of  Rol)ertson  Pro- 
tected Metal  (RPM)  galva- 
nized steel,  copper,  alumi- 
num or  any  other  suitable 
material.  RPM  is  used  in 
severely  corrosive  condi- 
tions. The  parts  are  joined 
into  a  strong,  rigid  unit  with 
Fig.  1.  Robertson  Ventilator  system    of    bracings  with 


ROBERTSON  ROOF  VENTILATORS 

bolts  and  lock  washers.  The  ventilator  withstands  wind  pres- 
sures equal  to  dead  load  of  30  lbs.  per  sq.  ft. 

Explosion  Cap — For  grain  elevators  and  factories  where 
dust  explosions  may  occur,  Robertson  Ventilators  may  be 
equipped  with  explosion  caps.  They  are  hinged  on  both  sides 
and  open  in  the  middle  to  make  the  full  area  of  stack  available. 
They  withstand  suction  of  75  m.p.h.  wind  velocity  without  open- 
ing, but  will  open  with  explosion  pressure  inside  of  4  lbs.  per  sq.  ft. 


TYPICAL  ROBERTSON  VENTILATOR  CAPACITIES 

Wind  velocity:  8  m.p.h.     Difference  in  temperature  inside  and  outside: 
20*  F.    Height  of  ventilators  above  air  intakes:  50  ft.

ROBERTSON  RECTANGULAR  VENTILATORS 


Robertson  Ventilators  are  offered  in  rectangular  shapes  for 
buildings  where  straight  lines  are  desirable  to  harmonize  with 
the  architectural  lines,  and  in  buildings  where  large  ventilating 
openings  are  required  for  rapid  removal  of  fumes  and  heat. 
The  rectangular  ventilator  provides  a  continuous  ventilating 

opening  throughout  its  entire 
length. 

It  can  be  made  in  any  de- 
sirable length. 

It  has  all  the  advantages  of 
the  round  ventilators. 

Auxiliary  power  attach- 
ments (as  described  under 
Robertson  Fan  Ventilators) 
can  also  be  installed  in  the 
rectangular  ventilator. 

If  such  an  installation  is 
desired,  write  H.  H.  Robert- 
son Company  for  recommen- 
dations.

ROBERTSON  FAN  VENTILATORS 


The  standard  Robertson  Ventilator  has  long  been  known  as 
one  of  the  most  efficient  gravity-type  ventilators  on  the  market. 
To  obtain  greater  flexibility  for  this  ventilator  under  unfavor- 
able atmospheric  conditions  and  more  positive  ventilation  at 
certain  periods,  an  auxiliary  power  attachment  may  be  incor- 
porated in  it.  This  combination  is  the  Robertson  Fan  Ventilator. 

Because  of  the  scientific  design  of  the  free  area  outlets  in  the 
standard  Robertson  Ventilator,  the  auxiliary  power  attachment 
is  able  to  set  a  new  maximum  for  the  number  of  cubic  feet  of 
air  moved  per  minute  per  horsepower. 

The  power  attachment  is  made  in  a  separate  unit  and 
can  be  attached  to  any  Robertson  Ventilator,  including 
those  now  installed.  It  can  also  be  installed  in  the  Rob- 
ertson Rectangular  Venti-

Gravity  Ventilation  Efficiency  with  Economy 

To  secure  efficient  and  satisfactory  ventilation  with  the  greatest  economy 
the  Swartwout  "Natural"  Method  should  be  used.  It  lets  nature  do  the 
work,  utilizing  nature's  basic  laws  to  the  fullest  extent  in  heat  removal, 
fresh  air  provision,  smoke,  fume  and  vitiated  air  removal,  and  general 
ventilation.  Nature's  basic  principles  cannot  be  improved  upon.  iiut 
they  can  be  assisted  and  accelerated,  which  is  what  the  Swartwout  method 
does  in  building  ventilation.  ,    ,   .  •    i  .     •    *  n    -4.     r  ; 

The  Swartwout  "Natural"  Method  is  economical  to  install— it  elimi- 
nates power  cost — and  requires  no  maintenance.  First  cost  is  last  cost, 
and  satisfaction  guaranteed. 


Choosing  a  Ventilator 

You  soecify  and  buy  ventilators  to  secure  ventilation.  "Ventilation 
therefore  is  wha"  you  actually  specify  and  buy.  s^^^^^  ^^^^^^^"If^^y 

choose  the  ventilator  that  assures  air  movement  in  the  right  proportion 
and  in  the  right  place  to  fulfill  the  specific  needs.  . 

Swartwout  Ventilation  Engineers  are  at  your  service  to  study  your 
narticular  conditions  and  problems  and  give  the  benefit  of  their  long 
exnerience  and  technical  training  whenever  you  have  a  ventilation  problem 
!^gwTr?wout  knows  the  answer!  Their  reliable  and  conservative  recom- 
mendations obligate  you  in  no  way.

The  Original  (Patented)  Heat  Valve 

There    is    only    one    "Heat    Valve."    It   is    the  original 
"Swartwout— Dexter   Ridge  Ventilator."     None  others 
can  be  rated  as  such— and  none  others  duplicate 
it  in  performance.    Its  efficiency  is  in  its 
design — assuring  complete  and  CQn- 
tinuous    satisfaction  —  accept 
no  substitute. 


How  It  Operates 

By  placing  the  "Heat  Valve" 
along  the  entire  length  of  the 
roof  (usually  on  the  ridge^ 
"spot"  ventilation  is  avoided. 
It  utilizes  nature's  basic  prin- 
ciple of  stack  effect  (flow  of 
the  heat  upward)  and  makes, 
figuratively  speaking,  a  stack 
of  the  building  on  which  it  is 
installed.  Heat,  vitiated  air, 
fumes,  and  similar  undesirable 
conditions  are  alleviated 
through  flow  of  the  interior  air 
upward  and  escape  through  the 
Heat  Valve — being  replaced  by 
fresh  cool  air  from  inlets  (win- 
dows, doors,  or  others  as  pro- 
vided) near  the  ground  level.  ,  .  ,     ,       ,         ,         .         ^  .   

This  is  illustrated  in  Fig.  1  winch  also  shows  how  the  outside  air  cur- 
rents are  utilized  to  accelerate  the  air  movement  through  the  Heat  Valve. 
It  is  provided  with  a  damper  which  may  be  opened  and  closed  at  will 

thus  providing  the  exact  de- 
gree of  ventilation  required. 


Features 

(1)  Made  of  heavy  gauge 
galvanized  iron  (special  ma- 
terial if  required).  (2)  Rust- 
proof finish  throughout.  (3) 
Cross  currents  of  air  have  no 
retarding  effect  on  discharge 
from  Dexter  Heat  Valve  (Fig. 
1).  (4)  It  is  stormproof  (Fig. 
3).  (5)  Bird  and  insect  screen 
furnished  when  desired.  (6) 
An  effective  damper  is  pro- 
vided for  opening  and  closing 
the  Heat  Valve  at  will.  (7) 
Damper  may  be  fitted  with 
felt  strips  to  deaden  noise  of 
damper  striking  roof  opening 
when  closing,  and  prevent  heat 
loss  in  winter.  (8)  No  main- 
tenance expense — consumes  no 
power,  and  there  are  no  parts 
that  will  wear  out  or  get  out 
of  order.  (9)  The  pleasing 
lines  of  the  Dexter  Heat  Valve 
blend  with  almost  every  style 
of  architecture. 


The  Swartwout 
Company  Is  the 
Exclusive  Licensee 
Under  the  Dexter  Patents 

No  otber  company  is  author- 
ized to   make  the   Heat  Valve. 
Its  patented  design  is  scientifically 
correct — with  parts  properly  propor- 
tioned and  assembled  in  relation  to  each 
other  to  secure  greatest  possible  capacity 
from  stack  effect  and  outside  air  condi- 
tions. 

Why  You  Should  Specify  Only  a  Genuine 
Heat  Valve 

(1)  To  assure  that  you  will  re- 
ceive the  complete  and  continu- 
ous satisfaction  you  have  a  right 
to  expect. 

(2)  It  is  nationally  known  and 
is  backed  by  the  manufacturer's 
guarantee. 

(3)  It  is  not  an  experiment.  A 
large  number  of  eminently  satis- 
factory installations  in  different 
industries  and  on  different  types 
of  buildings  testify  to  its  high 
efficiency  and  reliability  under  all 
conditions. 

(4)  It  has  high  rated  capacity 
which  is  augmented  by  increased 
discharge  induced  by  outside  wind  currents. 

(5)  It  is  easily  and  quickly  installed. 

(6)  It  provides  greatest  square  foot  area  of  opening  per 
dollar  invested — hence  is  extremely  economical. 

(7)  It  can  be  used  on  almost  every  type  of  building— and  is 
especially  adaptable  where  high  temperatures  must  be  elimmated. 

(8)  It  is  architecturally  attractive— blending  in  with  architec- 
tural lines  and  eliminating  unsightliness  of  individual  ventilator^s 
on  buildings  where  "appearance"  is  a  factor  to  be  considered.

Western  Rotary  Ball  Bearing  Ventilators 

Designed  primarily  to  give  the  entire  construction  industry 
a  turbine  ventilator  that  is  efficient  at  a  very  low  wind  velocity, 
symmetrical  in  design,  absolutely  silent  m  operation,  and  at  a 
very  reasonable  cost. 

The  turbine  revolves  around  a  central  support-shatt  upon 
almost  frictionless  bearings,  floating  in  a  bath  of  oil  and 
graphite  and  absolutely  sealed  against  dust,  dirt,  steam  and 

^"rhe  Western  Rotary  is  in  reality  an  exhaust  fan  which 
derives  its  power  from  wind  at  even  two  miles  an  hour. 
This  creates  a  centrifugal  action  through  its  turbine  construe- 
tion  forcing  a  steady  circulation  and  aiding  natural  action 
by  the  mechanical  lift  of  this  revolving  head.  Thus  a  maximum

Western  Fan  Ventilator 

In  this  unit  forced  draft  and  gravity  ventilation  is  obtained 
in  one  complete  machine.  By  this  we  mean  a  ventilating  unit 
that  will  operate  efficiently  at  no  cost  whatever  when  the  out- 
side temperature  is  normal.  However,  an  exhaust  fan  of  high 
efficiency  is  at  your  service  for  the  days  when  the  wind  ve- 
locity is  low  and  the  humidity  and  temperature  high,  ihis  tan 
operates  from  light  circuit  at  very  low  power  cost.  Any  job 
that  can  use  an  exhaust  fan  can  use  this  unit  to  advantage 
through  a  saving  in  power  cost,  flexible  operation  and  cost  of 
installation.  No  penthouse  is  necessary  with  this  unit.  An 
excellent  exhaust  is  obtained  at  no  power  cost  through  the 
turbine  head.  Motors  are  fully  enclosed  with  thrust  bearing 
for  vertical  shaft  mounting.  Propellers  are  of  cast  aluminum, 
polished  and  carefully  balanced.

Bu;[^^ffer8^l580  3  5  3  East  78th  Street.  NEW  YORK  N.  Y. 

Architectural  Exhibits  m  Principal  Cities 


RIESNER  VENTILATING  BRICK- 


—A  LOUVERED  WALL  VENTILATOR 

The  Riesner  Ventilating  Brick  is  a  hollow  metal  ven- 
tilating device  which  extends  through  the  wall.  It  is  the 
shape  and  size  of  one  or  two  standard  bricks  and  is  con- 
structed with  a  louvered  face  with  waterdrip  at  top  and 
bottom  and  an  integral  water  stop  in  the  casting. 

Where  Used 

Riesner  Ventilating  Bricks  are  suitable  for  ventilating : 
Air  Spaces  Hung  Ceilings  Attics 

Kitchens  Transformer  Rooms  lunnels 

Closets  Cellars  Mausoleums 

Garbage  Receivers      Cellar  Rooms  Utility  Rooms 

Boiler  Rooms  Cold  Rooms  Gas  Range  Hoods 

Vents  from  Oil  Storage  Tanks,  etc. 

How  Installed 

The  Riesner  Ventilating  Bricks  are  ''bricked  in''  by  the 
mason  when  building  up  the  wall,  at  a  point  6  in.  below 
the  ceiling,  with  the  louvered  face  to  the  outer  air  and 
duct  or  flue  in  the  room. 

Construction,  Types  and  Sizes 

Riesner  Ventilating  Bricks  are  made  of  cast  iron,  or 
cast  bronze,  with  galvanized  iron  or  copper  pipe  or  duct. 
They  extend  clear  through  the  wall  from  the  louvered  face 
at  the  outside,  to  the  brass  flange  or  register  face  at  the 
inside  of  the  wall. 

Made  in  four  types  as  follows: 

Type  "A"— This  type  is  the  width  and  height  of  one 
standard  brick  (21/4x8  ins.)  and  transforms  into  a  3-in. 
diameter  pipe  which  finishes  with  a  brass  flange  at  the 
inside  of  the  wall. 

Type  "B"— Also  the  width  and  height  of  one  standard 
brick  (214x8  ins.)  extends  through  the  wall  with  a  2x8-in. 
duct  and  flnishes  with  a  3x814  in.  register  face  at  the 
inside  of  the  wall. 

Type  "C"— The  width  of  one  brick  and  the  height  of 
two  bricks  (43/4x8  ins.)  and  transforms  into  a  6-in.  diam- 
eter pipe  which  finishes  with  a  brass  flange  at  inside  of 
the  wall. 

Type  "D*  — The  width  of  one  brick  and  the  height  of 
two  bricks  (4%x8  ins.).  Type  "D"  extends  through  the 
wall  with  a  4i/2x8-in.  duct  and  finishes  with  a  5%x9i4-in. 
register  face  at  the  inside  of  the  wall. 

Further  Details— Types  "B,"  "C"  and  "D"  are  fur- 
nished with  bronze  insect  screen  to  prevent  flies  and  insects 
from  coming  into  the  ventilated  areas. 

Ventilating  bricks  are  carried  in  stock  for  12-in.  walls 
and  measure  13  ins.  from  exterior  louvered  face  to  pipe 
flange  or  register  face  at  inside  of  wall.  They  can,  how- 
ever, be  made  up  for  8-in.  walls  or  any  other  wall  thick- 
ness required. 

Ventilating  bricks  can  also  be  made  up  with  elbows  for 
ducts  to  meet  special  conditions. 

Color 

Cast  iron  ventilating  bricks  are  painted  a  buff  color. 


BENJAMIN  RIESNER 


Advantages 

Riesner  Ventilating  I)ricks  do  not  take  up  any  extra 
space.  They  are  bricked  into  and  become  a  part  of  the  wall. 

Ventilating  bricks  can  be  built  into  frame  construction, 
brick  walls  and  concrete  forms. 

They  are  used  to  ventilate  air  spaces  under  buildings 
and  special  rooms  in  cellars  and  attics 
and  can  be  furnished  with  elbows  and 
offsets  where  the  area  to  be  ventilated  is 
below  grade. 

Types  ''A"  and  ''C"  can  readily  be  con- 
nected to  gas  range  hoods.  Venti- 
lating bricks  are  particularly  use- 
ful in  kitchens  where  there  is  no 
room  for  vertical  vent  shafts. 
They  constantly  ventilate  and  re- 
move gas  fumes,  steam  and 
cooking  odors  from  the  room.

Types  ''B"  and  '*D"  are  designed  to  meet  general 
ventilating  requirements  for  cellars,  air  spaces  and  attics, 
etc.,  to  allow  a  circulation  of  air  and  prevent  dry  rot. 

Ventilating  bricks  used  in  kitchens  prevent  discolora- 
tion of  the  walls  and  obviate  the  necessity  of  frequent 
repainting. 

They  are  designed  to  be  absolutely 
weatherproof,  and  economical  because 
they  do  not  deteriorate — the  first  cost 
is  the  only  cost.

CONSTRUCTION  AND  USES  OF  '  NEW  UNITY"  HORIZONTAL  SKYLIGHTS 
"New  Unity"  Skylight 
Constructions 

"New  Unity"  Skylight  Con- 
structions do  not  depend  on  con- 
crete for  watertightness  since 
no  concrete  is  exposed  to  the 
weathering  surfaces.  Magnalite 
Diffusing  Tiles  or  heavy  ribbed 
wire  glass  units  are  placed  into 
shields  or  spacers  anchored  in 
the  supporting  grid  of  reinforced 
concrete  and  glazed  with  a 
watertight  tar  and  sulphur  com- 
pound. The  constructions  are  so 
designed  that  no  concrete  is  ex- 
posed on  top  between  the  lights 
of  glass.  Reglets  are  provided  in 
the  concrete  borders  to  receive 
the  roofer's  flashings  so  that 
no  concrete  is  exposed  to  the 
weathering  surfaces  in  the 
entire   skylight  construction. 


Feature — Magnalite  Crystal 
Diffusing  Tiles 

The  "Four-Way"  light  diffus- 
ing principle  of  Magnalite  Diffusing  Glass  (see  Products  Index 
for  Glass)  is  available  in  "New  Unity"  Skylights,  Type  WF. 
Magnalite  Tiles  will  eliminate  excessive  interior  sun  glare  and 
concentrated  sun  rays  by  spreading  light  of  equal  intensity  over 
large  areas  beneath,  the  same  shape  as  the  skylight  opening. 

Shadows  Reduced  to  a  Minimum — Soffit  Highly  Ornamental. 

Excellent  Interior  Vision — Self-cleaning  Top  Surface. 
Heat  Diffusion. 

Skylight  openings  glazed  with  Magnalite  Tiles  will  produce 
better  interior  vision  than  larger  ones  glazed  with  ordinary 
glass.  Skylight  areas  can  be  reduced  without  sacrificing  day- 
lighting  results — a  saving  in  Winter  heat  losses,  and  less  Summer 
heat  admitted.

Where  to  Use  Richards*  "New 
Unity''  Skylights 

Architectural  designs  can  be 
improved  by  the  use  of  "New  Unity"  Skylights  in  Interior 
Courts,  Set  Backs,  and  on  Roofs  where  steeply  pitched  sky- 
lights would  be  objectionably  visible  on  the  skyline.
