Manville Service to Industry Industry Lr Cut Corner Construction A Feature A feature of this mate- rial is the manner in which sheets are butted and lapped at the corners which is provided for by special cut corner con- struction These cut cor- ners eliminate a thickness of material where the four sheets come together in the corner lap thus allowing the sheets to nest perfectly at these points permitting them to be laid with laps forming contin- uous horizontal and verti- cal lines This improves the appearance and elimi- nates cutting of sheets at end building The inside and outside radii of the corrugations are the same thereby allowing the sheets to nest perfectly at all laps All of the foregoing features provide a more weathertight watertight and better looking job than is possible with any similar type of roofing Our engineers will be glad to go over plans and discuss the use of Transite Corrugated for new buildings or for the replacement of roofing and siding on buildings already in service How Furnished Manville Transite Corrugated Asbestos Roofing and Siding is furnished in sheets 42 wide Bevel Cut Corners of Transite Corrugated Asbestos Roofing 7 r yrem tied Sue Jil 1.

Flat sheets can be furnished as described on page 170. All of the above mentioned materials are particularly designed to be used in con- nection with the corrugat- ed material but can also be used independently PRODUCED J-M83 Specially designed Manville fasten- ers should be used in the erection of this material This material may be laid on roofs pitched 2 to the foot and over Where pitches are from 2 to 4 to the foot Johns- Manville Asbestos Roof Putty is to be used in all laps Where pitch is over 4 to the foot this precaution is not necessary unless extraordinary service conditions demand it A Tested and Proved Material Asbestos is a mineral that withstands all the destructive forces of nature Port- land cement is used universally in build- ing for permanence These materials combined in Transite Corrugated Asbestos Roofing and Siding make the ideal mate- rial for skeleton frame construction This product is simply a different form of a tested material It is the same as Manville Transite Asbestos Wood which has been used in railroad and in- dustrial construction over a period of many years as fireproof roofing and siding partitions walls ceilings in fact anywhere a fireproof and durable material is needed This tested and proved material is corrugated to give greater strength thus allowing for its use as roofing and siding over widely spaced purlins we ne Son a PNq nN & aA) ! ~e oe ane AS x, on nA v. othe Nieae aL, a . , aa 4 - This building of the Iowa Southern Utilities Company Centerville Iowa will be free from roof troubles practically as long as the the structure stands The natural gray surface of this Transite Corrugated Asbestos Roofing never needs paint or other protective coating David F.
