METHOD OF STAPLING T & G PERFORATED AUDITONE
c .UNITED STATES GYPSUM COMPANY 300 West Adams St., Chicago 6 III.
General
The tongue and groove edge on I/2" and thickness Perforated Auditone and %" Slotted Auditone is designed for staple application. Because of its additional thickness, 1" Perfo rated and Slotted Auditone must be nailed.
Method (See above drawings) Place the staples parallel to the nailing flange pressing firmly against the flange. It is good practice to check the alignment of each course before proceeding. Use at least two staples on the 24" edge and one on the 12" edge. Place tile with stapling flange advancing. Automatic, trigger type, staplers manufactured by either of the following are recommended:
Bostitch, Inc. (Factory) Also offices in principal cities of U. S. and Canada. Westerly, R. I.--
Model T-5-8 using STRC-5019 9/16" long staples.
Markwell Mfg. Co., Inc. 200 Hudson Street, New York 13, New York -- Model "L3M" using "L30" 9/16" leg cement coated
staples.

CORRUTONE ACOUSTICAL SYSTEM
c PERFORATED, CORRUGATED METAL PANELS FUNCTION AND UTILITY
The Corrutone, corrugated perforated metal panel system, provides unusually high sound absorption, incombustible con struction, ease of maintenance and flexibility of lighting ar
rangements. Because of the simplicity of the system, and because the metal Corrutone panels are made of heavy galvanized bonderized steel, painted with two coats of baked-on enamel that exactly match
es the enamel finish of the supporting Z-Splines, the Corrutone units can be economically installed and easily maintained. The incombustible, highly sound absorbent mineral wool pad provides high sound absorption at both the high and low fre quencies. The Sound Absorption and Noise Reduction Co efficients listed below were conducted by the Acoustical Ma terials Association.

e-1. No. 85 Clip--For attaching Z-Splines to Bar Joists
whose lower chord is less than 314" wide x IV2" high,
or to IV2" or 2" Carrying Channels, or
Vi" Carrying Channels shall be tied at 5'-0" intervals to the hanger wires. These channels shall be hung level and spaced at a maximum of 5'-0" on centers, 1^4" painted ZSplines shall be attached (24", or 48" o.c.) and at right angles to the metal grillage with No. 85 Clips. Corru tone metal panels (2', or 4' wide) shall be placed on
top of the lower flange of the Z-Splines. A mineral wool pad or roll shall be placed on the upper surface of each panel prior to the placement of the following panel. This pad shall be tucked under the upper flange of the Z-Splines. Following panels shall lap the preceding panel.
b. From Bar Joists
Z-Splines may be directly attached to Bar Joists--Max imum spacing 5'-0" o.c. (Refer to e-l or e-2, "Materials and Accessories"), or
e-2. No. 87-S Clip--For attaching Z-Splines to Bar Joists whose lower chord dimension is greater than 3 wide x 11/2" high but less than 4W' wide x 2V2" high; or
e-3. No. 90 Clip--For attaching Z-Splines to wood furring strips or wood framing.
c. From Wood Furring or Framing--(Minimum dimension 2" x 3" wood strips-- (Maximum spacing 5'-0" o.c.)
(Refer to e-3 "Materials and Accessories") thereby elim inating the need for hanger wires and carrying channels.
Corrutone installation procedure from Bar Joists or wood furring or framing is identical with that from 11/2" carrying channels.
