Galvanized iron is manufactured in sheets which are corrugated in a series of longitudinal waves These corru- gations serve the purpose of stiffening and strengthening the sheet in the direction of the wave making it possible yet sufficient to support the sheet at wide intervals They also materially assist in the drainage of water to the eaves of the roof which occurs so rapidly that the capillary attraction of the edges of the joints is unimportant and when corrugated iron is properly laid on a roof no leak age should occur Security against leakage may be obtained by lapping a sheet over its neighbor for at least one cor- rugation and nailing them together to purlin The sheets are galvanized after being stamped into shape that is they are covered with a thin layer of zinc which metal is much more resistant to weathering than the iron or rather the steel body Galvanization is carried out by first cleaning the surface of the sheet by immersion in dilute sulphuric acid This dissolves the thin layer of rust always present Then the iron sheets are immersed in zine chloride which forms a flux and effects adhesion of the final coat After being heated they are dipped into a bath of midten zine and ammonium chloride The zinc sticks to the sheets which are slowly withdrawn drained and plunged into water The sudden cooling causes the appearance of the familiar frosted surface due to sudden erystallization of the metallie zine - According to Blake the best makes of galvanized iron which are manufactured from substantial and high class sheets and galvanized with a thick deposit of zinc can be depended on to last as long as thirty years under ordinary editions Naturally in regions such as the neighborlinal of chemical works where the atmosphere contains large amomits of corrosive gases the protective zine coating quickly corrodes leaving the bare iron expos- Technical Director Universal Trade Press Syndicate E G.

ASBESTOS ed and making the life of the sheet very short Galvanized iron being porous and being applied to the roof in such a manner as to make ventilation thru the roof difficult or impossible ought not be used in cases where much moisture is likely to evaporate into the air inside the building as for example in housing live stock The reason for this lies in the fact that condensation of _ water vapor will inevitably occur on the under side of the roof This condensation occurs because of the fact that the absolute humidity the actual percentage of moisture in the air is always higher inside a building inhabited by human beings than outside The amount of moisture in the interior is further increased by the fact that the inside temperature is invariably higher and the air will hold more water vapor without becoming saturated If the under side of the iron roofing is exposed drops of water will condense thereon due to the lower temperature and may run down the sides of the building This condition known as sweating may be materially reduced by placing rough boards on the roof immediately beneath the sheet metal the boards acting as an insulator Plastering the underside of the roof timbers will have the same effect but efficent ventilation must be provided by means of windows and ventilators along the ridge The method of applying a galvanized iron roof is not very difficult nor complicated The timbering may be very light The sheets are fastened to purlins which are supported in suitable positions on the rafters spaced at inter- vals of 6 or 8 feet The sheets are nailed to the timbers with galvanized nails or screws using galvanized washers under the head of the nail to prevent leakage thru the hole The screws are not twisted in place with a screw- driver as might be expected but are hammered into place more quickly The threads are present only to permit with- drawal of the screw without injury to the sheet Screws placed in the center corrugation and in outside ones i and always in the ridge not in the valley which serves as small drainage gutter The outside screws are not driveu in until the adjacent sheet has been lapped over March 19.30 Page 13 . ASBESTOS " The purlins the timbers attached to the rafter to hold the roofing are plus -l one at top and one at bottom for small sheets Large sheets require an additional purlin q in the center The end lap for an average roof should be at least 3 inches for flatter roofs it should be more Galvanized iron roofs are usually made in as siruple a design as possible to avoid cutting the sheets In cases where valleys are necessary a zinc gutter is used and for hips a special shaped sheet is available which is nailed to the purlins at the sides Painting the surface of galvanized iron roofing in- creases the life of the roof considerably Care must be exercised in selecting the pigment as some of them such as jead will react with the zine when wet and soon destroy the roofing Red oxide of iron is to be recommended and tar is excellent if its color is unobjectionable New galvanized sheets are slightly greasy and must be washed before painting They may be allowed to weather for some months before painting when washing will not ; 3 be necessary The sheeting is very difficult to cut across the corrugations and it is quite impossible with shears A ham mer and chisel are sometimes used a long and tedions process One authority recommends the use of an old hand saw as the best method being more rapid and less trouble- someThe great advantages of galvanized iron roofing are its cheapness and the ease with which a roof of it may be laid Due to its light weight as compared with other roofing the supports for the roof may be made extremely light It is therefore suitable for buildings of low cost which will not house humans or animals and will not have to be artificially warmed a word for store houses of non- perishable gonds Due to its conduction of heat the buildings are likely to be excessively cold in winter and im moderately hot in summer Its use contrary to general impression need not be restricted to temporary structures for with care in construction and maintenance the build- ings can be made to last many years The use of galvanized iron is of course purely utilitarian from the esthetic ; standpoint there is nothing to recommend it March 1930 Page 13 ome E.

The process is described as consisting in boiling sodium silicate with a solution of caustic soda under pressure for several hours concentrating the liquid spinning the sodium silicate into fibre and thereafter passing the fibre thru a hardening bath containing a solution of calcium chloride The patent states The product of this process is adapted to replace asbestos in the industrial arts ; We have discussed this process with engineers and others in the asbestos industry and so far the concensus of opinion is that while asbestos fibres could quite probably be produced by the process described the cost of equipment etc. would be so high as to make it not prac- ticable commercially We have also succeeded in locating the patentes Morris Grossman at 140 W. S6th Street New York City Natural- ly the question which arise are To what purpose does Mr. Grossman intend to put this process Has he attempted to do anything with it commercially or does he intend to do so We may be able to answer these questions next mouth . Copy of the patent can be obtained from the U. S. Patent Office if 10c in currency is sent together with the information in the second paragraph of this article We hope our readers will study the description of the process and comment upon it freely Page 16 March 1930 toe ~~ - mewert smwee enientwan tate wet oe we - + a we on awa = ASBES" TOs oo -_ ASBESTOS ASBETOSASBESTOS Arizona Crude Italian Crude Canadian Crude .

And some of us can very easily remember the time when the list was none too long The development of distribution channels for auto- mobile spare parts which makes it difficult except in sparsely settled sections to go more than a mile or two without passing a repair shop is when you sit down and consider it simply amazing And very possibly this efficient distribution is responsible for more sales of ears than any other factor with the exception of price Motoring would not appeal nearly so much to the ladies of our generation if they were obliged to do their own repair work along the road to a great many men either we venture to say We notice one mission from the list however Didn't the motorists of 1910 ever run out of gas Page i March 1984 ovame eNom RHODESIAN Wn ae ASBESTOS DoE WHITE .

A^ There is no article perhaps which can be so damned or praised as Packing for the reason that failure brings in its train so many disastrous results while efficient and dur able Packing contributes so very much to the satisfactory running of the machinery in which it is fitted Speaking with long and intimate knowledge of the manufacturing and administrative side I have no hesita tion in stating that the majority of bad results are due primarily to two main causes First the lack of practical knowledge by buyers and secondly carelessness in treat- 7 ment 7, The practical buyer looks at the matter almost entirely from price basis and so by adopting that attitude brings his circle of suppliers down to the employment of cheap material and low prices with an immediate handicap to the Engineer who will naturally fail to get the best results out of inferior articles The first cost does not necessarily mean economy but on the contrary it has been amply proved that a higher but reasonable price that permits the employment of first grade materials has a substantial reflection in maintenance costs gives infinitely less trouble to the Engineer and so saves labor expense and by that extra durability and efficiency which can generally be expected from high grade specialties actually results in diminished expense The proof that this statement is correct is the fact that where buyers are converted to this doctrine it is rarely that the purchase of cheap and inferior Packings is reverted to One important point in this connection is the placing of orders for Packings of known Brands It is a moral certainty that makers of grade goods umst maintain their standard and this gives the necessary safeguard to the buyer and engineer Treatment is obviously of the greatest importance as the best Packings can be ruined if incorrectly used Most manufacturers issue very clear instructions as to the best Stieneral Manager Beldam~- Asbestos Co.
