The end lap for an average roof should be at least 3 inch , for flatter roATa it should he more. Galvauize I'iron roofs are usually made in as simple a design as poa ible to avoid cutting the sheets. In cases where valleys ire necessary a sine gutter is used, and for hips, a special shaped sheet is available which is nailed to the purlins at the aides. Painting he surface of galvanized iron roofing in creases the Uf( of the roof considerably. Care must be ex ercised in tele iting the pigment, as some of them, such as . iead.: will reset with the sine when wet aqd soon destroy the 'roofing. Red xide of iron is to be reeommended, and tar is excellent, il its color is unobjectionable. New gslvinized sheets are slightly ijrreasy and must be washed before painting. They may betallowed to weather for some mon ha before painting, when washing will not : be necessary. The sheet ing is very difficult to cut across the cor rugations and it is quite impossible with shears. A ham mer and chisel are sometimes used, a long and tedious pro cess.' One aut lority recommends the use of an old hand saw as the bes; method, being more rapid and less trouble some. The greai advantages of galvanized iron roofing are its cheapness nd the ease with which a roof of it may l*e laid. Due to i s light weight as compared with other roof ing the supports for the roof may be made extremely lighU It is, therefore* suitable for buildings of tow cost, which) will not house humans or animals and will not have to be artificially warmed--in a word, for store houses of non- perishable goods. Due to its conduction of heat, the budd ings are likely to be excessively cold in winter and im moderately b< t in' summer. Ita use, contrary to general impression, n< td not be' restricted to temporary structures, for with care in construction and maintenance, the build ings can be mi de! to last many yean. The use of galvanized iron is, o( dune, purely utilitarian; from the esthetic standpoint th< re is nothing to recommend it Bb0/J Jfercfc 1930 ASBESTOS E. SCHAAF-REGELMAN 220 Broadway New York, N. Y.

Out efforts to trace the source of the rumor men tioned in February *|kA*bsto6" concerning the process of making synthetic asbestos fibres, have, thru the kindness of one of our readeft, been successful. On October 8th, 1929, a (talent was granted to Morris Grossman of New York Cify,*cverihg the process of Manufacturing Synthetic Mineral Fibres. The patent is numbered 1,730,609, Serial Number 226,822, application for which was filed October J7, 1927. The process is described as consisting in boiling odium ailieate with a notation of caustic soda under premare for several hours, concentrating the liquid, spinning the 'sodium ailieate into fibre and thereafter passing the fibre thru a hardening bath containing a solu tion of calcium chloride. The patent Mates "The pro duct 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 prob ably be produced by the process described, the co>t of equipment, etc., would be so high as to make it not prac ticable commercially. We have also succeeded in locating the patentee Morris Grocsman-at 140 W. 86th Street, New York City. Natural ly the quention which arise are: ,To what purpose does Mr. Grossman intend to put this proceMif lias he attempted to do anything with it commercially or does he intend to do sol We may be able to answer these .questions next month. Copy! of the patent ean be obtained from tlje l*. S. Patent Office if 10c (in currency) is sent together with the information in the second paragraph of this article.

Speaking with long and intimate knowledge of the manufacturing and administrative side. I have no-hesita tion in stating that the majority of Itad results are due primarily to two main causes. First the lack of practical knowledge by buyers and secondly carelessness in treat ment. The non-practteal buyer looks at the matter almost entirely from a price basis and so by adopting that attitude brings his circle of suppliers down to the employment of cheap material aud low prices, with an immediate haudicap to the Engineer who will naturally fail to get the best re sults out of inferior articles. The first wst doe* not pec.es- sarilv mean economy hut on' the contrary it has been amply proved that a higher hut reasonable price that permits the employment of first grade materials has a substantial re flection in maintenance costs, giyes infinitely less trouble to the Engineer aud so saves labor expense: and by that extra durability and efficiency, which can generally be ex- |>evted from high grade Kjwcialties. actually results in diminished e\j*euse. 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'imj>ortHnt |>oint in this connection is the placing of orders for Packings of well-known Brands. It is a moral certainty that makers of high-grade goods must maintain their standard and this gives the necessary safe guard to the Ipiyer and engineer. Treatment is. 7>bvious|y of the greatest importance, as the liest Packings can he ruined if incorrectly used. .Most manufacturers issue very clear instruct ions es to the best Manaerr. fWldaia C..

Brakfe Lining Should Contain i Asbestos By V. T. Pauceb, Mgr., Russell Mfg. Co., I . Middletown, Conn. Due to] the excessive heats developed in bringing an automobile ip a stop, brake maid be of such a com position that they will not. break down or- burn up under these high tkmperatnrea. * When ^ vehicle weighing, aay 5,000 pounds, is brought to a stop frtpn a speed of 50 miles per.hour in approximate ly 4 seconds, 4* it is quite possible' to do with the present . four-wheel brakes, then is about 450,000 foot lbs. of kinetic energy to bd converted into beat that has to be absorbed, or dissipated, tjhrti the brake lining and brake drams. The average brake drum wearing. surface on cars of such weigfatKs only abont 300 square inches. If many quick stops like this:are made ip a short time, it can readily be seeu that tlu* surface can not pomibly dissipate such an enormous amount of beat and ms a result the brake drums would toon }>e red hot. Many times, when driving in heavy traffic or ii^ hilly country, the brake drums are often at *a temperature of 300* Fahrenheit for. considerable periods of time. -} _ ,y,,i ' Aabesfcs is ti* only material wg hate to use com mercially th it jdoei* not Joae hn substance until temperatures Page 227-" i,` ' - -............

Insulating Radiation Bv ii. <\ riiAHtjM . I was tramping thru the heat treating department of a large automobile manufacturing establishment one day when I noticed that the radiant heat thrown off by some furnaces each time the door was op-ned was'directed to ward the temperature recorders. ` The recorders were located just to one side of the furnace door and I was curious to know why this radiant heat did not affect the recorders. Tire recorders are sus ceptible to radiant heat aud will not read correctly under aiieli eondjiionx. In this instance, however, I found that ample precaution had been taken as the Inck of the re corder had l***n covered with quarter inch layer of as!x,sl's. To prevent the rapid deterioration of the asliestos a sheet of metal had been placed over it- and the thru bolts were insulated from the -.beet metal by the us** of asbestos washers. In this manner the instruments were retained near the furnace where the ojrerators could keep in close toiieh with the tem|>erature conditions of the furnace and contents. I was iilformed that prior in moving the instruments near the furnace, considerable ]toiIrd material had result ed from inadequate stqrervision of lemjreraturc. To keep the iiisfruinents at a distance from the furnaee resulted in ' indifferem-e in wntching the tem|*-rnirc indieaiors. ilanh li' t'i Pope 23 V L 11 S A II ESTtft rtnpnt Asbestos Corporan Reports Progress ioot fLsbeaton Corporation anoounees the ap- WiUiam A.

During the period of soaring stock market prices snd high money rates, moeb time, attention, and money was distract- , ed and weened away from plant and building maintenance chan- | nelji. The waste of fuel and energy tn Industry was overlooked. I ' l( not actually Justified by the exorbitant returns from `money 1 on .`call." The minds of our great Industrial executives were I turned to and employed In devising ways and means of Increas ing their personal or their corporate profits thru the "market" rattier than thru the more efficient running of thetr own business. While these captains of Industry were pouring their millions Into Wall Street for a quick, but temporary profit, they too were allowing waste to flow thru ihglr power plants fa- a very definite loss of opermtioa-profit. Reports show the coal business to be much Improved. As has often been said recently--"Businease* were running themselves"--everybody from the Chairman of the Board, to the night wetchman was "In the market." ' Now these same executives and captains of Industry, by sheer necessity, are returning to fAefr work, and sorely they will And the weeds of neglect much harder to control. People realise to a great extent that the market was not fkeir job. and the bit terness of specnlatlon-los* makes the prospect of operation profit sweeter. Business la looking now for ways, and meana of em ploying Its money tn sure and continuous profit-making Invest. merits, and for ways to recover their losses or to continue their profits This forced situation opens np a splendid and onusoal op portunity for Insulation. It fa the one sure Investment that guar antees savings and profits. The general "buyer's market** that still seems to prevan forces the hand of every operating com pany Into whose business comes the consuming of fuel or energy in any form. The real utility of good Insolation products will command an attentive ear. but the true benefits from this tnsota-* lion depends, of course, on how .thoroly and Intelligently the Job la done. During the spree of the market, many merger* and acquisi tions were effected (or the express puroose of creating "new financing." The story Is different now. The plants acquired are now "on our hands." and any allowed operation waste, or plant inefficiencies may change what was once an asset In the Investnenl banker's prospectus to so actual liability.
