BROWER INSULATING FIRM HAS BEEN PROTECTING HEATING UNITS SINCE ITS START HERE IN 1906 ( O n * Jw ndreef a n d ?ur*y-WgMh a r t i c i * in a s e rie s b y J a m e s ( . t o a t fit, m a n a g * * a f tth a C h am b er'* In d u ttrte l fvfsl*a ) Jackets for pipes are fhe products of C h at, R. Broker & Co,, of 114 Virginia Street, Modern power plants, small or large, afloat or ashore, conserve every heat unit possible by insulation until it is used up in its proper and designated place Those heat units may go to work on a smell home radiator or in o power turbine aboard a battleship. Pipe covering is made primarily of some form of magnesia, fiber-glass, asbestos, wool-felt or rock wool. Chat. R. Brower & Co, take these elements and fabricate them Into units that con be, ap plied q u ic kly ond e ffic ie n tly . This company makes pipe covering for use oil over the Pacific Northwest and A laska. In the factory, five work ers ore employed, and their products keep a field crew of 20 to 30 men an fhe constant go. Prep, oration of the covering and Its application on the job are under the supervision-- in most cases -- of the company's technicians and workers. Brower learned the business of applying Insulation from the ground up. He was a journey man osbestos worker and a member of his trade union---a highly skilled craft. In 1906 he gathered together tome tools and equipment, o stock of materials and some workers and entered Into the business far himself as C h at. R, Brower & C o . As Seattle grew so grew the company# business. During the war more than 300 people were employed-- insulation requirements on new ships were heavy. Starting with sheet wool-felt we watched its volution into a pipe covering for cold water. Adhesive--`the universal stiekum for heat resist ance Is silicate of soda-- is liberally applied and the sheet rolled on a mandrel of the exact diam eter of the pipe to be covered. The Insulation wail is calipered to the correct thickness. The adhesive is dried, then a double-end saw sixes the roll to length and another saw splits the tube so that It can b* opened and wrapped around the pip*. Cha*. R. Brower & Co . uses bales of muslin and canvas for the outside cover* of the finished Insulation. often brass straps are used to bind the insula tion to the pipe and add glamor to the job Gloss fiber ts one of fhe newest insulation materials and comes in bafts or board, Brower uses the gloss fibre board for lining walls and ceilings of cabins aboard ships W e ako watched a workman assemble sound ducts for the new U. of W , Music Building. Can you imagine room after room with someone In each practicing on o piono? The rooms must be air-conditioned and, o rd in a rily , the air ducts would carry sound from room to room. So Brower Is making--from one-inch thick special rock-wool sheets---a filter like a lorge honeycomb through which the sound Is trapped and the good, clean sir posses through. Just plain ingenious.
