BD011 0067 .a ' New package and CLIP-S TIK help contractors dip lathing time Now Trus-Lok clips are kept in orderly alignment from factory to framing, thanks to a new system of packaging and the ingenious, time-saving Clip-Stik. Cartons of jumbled, snarled lathing clips are a headache of the past. The new package contains 1000 clips aligned in 20 rows of 50 each, and an expendable Clip-Stik. While in the carton, cardboard inserts run through the loops to hold clips in line. The Clip-Stik prongs are slipped through the clip loops as the inserts are removed. Then the Clip-Stik hooks onto the lather's belt, putting a load of clips within easy reach, and in perfect order. For the lathing contractor, the new system of handling and packaging means savings in job time, further reduc ing the cost of Trussteel stud partitions. A tangle-free clip is a faster clip for the man on the job. NEW PACKAGING SYSTEM keeps Trus-Lok clips in neat, well-aligned rows free from tangles. Cardboard inserts in each row allow the lather to slip 50 clips at a time on the Clip-Stik. Each carton of 1000 clips contains a Clip-Stik. INDIVIDUAL CLIPS may be removed easily with either hand by simply lifting them free of the prongs. The action is faster and easier than picking clips from a box or apron. CLIP-STIK LOADING is a simple procedure. As the ends of the Clip-Stik arc inserted at one end of the clip row, the cardboard brace is removed from the oppo * site end leaving clips aligned on the metal prongs. READY POP ACTION, the Clip-Stik has been crimped slightly to keep the clips in place, then hung over the lather's belt. Single-piece construction and soldertipped ends eliminate the possibility of snagging flesh or clothes on the Clip-Stik. 00 o RID TOPICS, the TiQoozine of lathing and olatfermg Z-OO W Aooim S*ref CWoqo 6.

U. S. Gypsum's new partition-demonstration truck is on its maiden cruise through West Coast states. It will be parked in downtown parking lots of major cities, and leading architects and contractors of each area will be invited to attend demonstration meetings there.

The new "How-to-do-it Truck for the building trade" is equipped so that the Trussteel stud, Rocklath base and plaster partition can be erected before the eyes of the audience to the point where it is ready for plaster. This includes full sized door bucks set in the partitions. In the past two years the advantages of these partitions have caused many architects to revise their specifica tions from painted masonry to lath and plaster for their class A buildings. The mobile demonstration unit is de signed to further stimulate this trend. Several other partition systems and ceiling assemblies are also demonstrated in the truck, including BRACETtTE-channel ceilings and the exterior wall fur ring brackets. Arrival of this powerful new selling tool for lath and plaster in your city will be heralded by United States Gypsum salesmen. CONVENIENT downtown parking lots will be the site where, with the aid of the mobile unit, U.S.G. men will demonstrate advanced meth ods of lathing and plastering to architects and contractors. The truck "auditorium" is shown outside a hotel receiving a group of guests. SPEED and beauty are a part of machine application of finish plaster--especially acoustical plaster. The ceilings of these new offices of the Perpetual Building Assn., Bethesda, Md.,are finished with machine-applied Audicote acoustical plaster. This material is made spe cifically for spray-on application, and the resulting tex ture is especially even and consistent in beauty. The skill of any journeyman plasterer can achieve a highly satisfactory job. If a small area of plaster should be damaged by workmen either before or after it has set, a couple of passes of the spray gun will conceal the imperfection with a ``fill-in" of Audicote. This surface will retain its acoustical properties through several paintings. As easy as painting, how ever, is the process of spraying another surface layer of Audicote over the first, when the original is soiled. FRED CHRISTIAN, plasterer and inventor, shows hissmall hand type spray gun made espedally for acoustic and other finish work. The device, known as the Plaster-Tex. has a stainless steel hopper, an adjustable slide type air stem and is said to be non-clogging, ft is available with electric or gasoline power.

Karelius Sand-Hog and Acousti-Pump Unusual versatility was the aim in designing the Sand-Hog. With it, sanded plaster, lightweight aggregate plaster or Portland cement and sand exterior basecoat have been ap plied to the walls and ceilings through 150 feet of hose. The unit weighs about 350 lbs. and is powered by a separate compressor with at least 105 cu. ft. per minute capacity. It has been used on the ground to plaster rooms on the fourth floor. An improved nozzle has recently been introduced and includes an orifice control to confine the area being sprayed when working around fasciae and window and door trim; and a texture regulator controlling the volume of atomiza tion. The volume of material delivered on basecoat work is regulated at the pump, varying from five to 60 cycles per minute. The Sand-Hog handles 3.5 cubic feet of mortar per min ute and is said to be capable of 1600 yards of V4 inch sanded plaster, Structo-Lite perlited plaster, portland cement or wood fiber plaster per eight hour day. It sells for $1495 f.o.b. Alhambra, Calif. The Acousti-Pump is a smaller model for exterior stucco finish, interior sand finish or acoustic work and sells for $885. Complete information available from Albert Karelius & Sons, 909 S. Fremont, Alhambra, Calif. [7] THE SEPARATE E-Z-ON gasoline power unit is located near the elevator well of this multi-story building, and from this position served the pump as it plastered five floors. |~a~| THE NEW E-Z-ON machine successfully delivered a plaster mix containing aggregate that is 63 percent sand and 37 percent vermiculite, to cover these radiant heating coils. The propor tion of lightweight aggregate was so small that it was deemed negligible in effect on heat transfer from the coils. Do-All Different in principle from the other plastering machines described here, the Do-All sand plastering and stucco ma chine does all of its work with vacuum and air pressure. Thus the only moving parts are a compressor and the six h.p. gasoline engine to power it. Air pressure moves the plaster from the hopper through the hose as well as dis persing it at the nozzle. Controls for pattern and feed are at the nozzle. Capacity is as much as four cubic feet per minute, from two eight-cubic-foot, sealed hoppers. The machine will deliver plaster through 150 feet of hose to as high as 50 feet. Price: $2495 f.o.b. Portland, Oregon, 30 day delivery. A new and smaller model "B" machine loads manually instead of by vacuum. All other features are the same as those found on the larger machine. Price: $1795 f.o.b. Portland.
