EDPHALT

A SPECIAL D A M P COURSE FOR EVERY NEED

BASITE is pure Bitumen built on a Hessian base thoroughly' waterproof durable, flexible, and strong enough td resist anv required tensional or com- pressional stresses. It costs less than a slate, tile, or lead damp course, whilst it is more easily and quickly laid.

LEDBIT is similar to Basite, but has an addit~onal core of sheet lead. It contains no coal tar or pitch.

LEDPHALT consists of a sheet of lead embedded between two layers of sheet asphalte, finished on the surface with a coating of fine gravel.

ANDERITE is an economical damp course with fibre base, for small houses.

Wrlte for particulars to any of the addresses below.

Adaptability and low cost are but two of the out- standing features of a ROK Roof. Properly laid its durability is full; equal to that of tiles or slates and farsuperior t o corrudated Iron. The bitumen surface of ROK defies the worst weather conditions-there are no open joints t o leak, and it is a splendid insulator of heat and cold. The f l e x i b i l i t y of R O K enables i t to be laid easily on any of roof.

INSULATING FELT The most e f f i c i e n t method of preventing min, snow and cold winds working into a roof between the tiles and the lathing is a rein- forcement of SANODOR, which n~ilkes a n 80% roof intoa really 100% job. The extra cost o t SANODOR is n e g l i g i b l e w h e n c o m p a r e d w i t h t h e a d v a n t a g e s it brings.

and include 15 per cent. to cover profit and overhead

charges ; obviously, therefore, proportionate reduc-

tions must be made if the prices are used for com-

petitive tendering. Basic figures are given where

possible and with actual quotaLions for materials as

a basis, and by reference to the standard wage rates

a t the beginning of the book it should not be

difficult to arrive a t suitable prices for special

conditions and various districts.

In the case of prices given under the names of firms

these are nett, except for cash discounts, unless Trade

discounts are specified.

Time will generally be saved by referring to the

very complete indices provided a t the beginning

rather than by looking through the text.

Revised wages which came into force on January 1st

are given, together with gradings of a large number

of towns. Conditions in the building ~~~~~~~~~y linvc

inqxoved coi1sidwably during the p a ~ t year, iuleln-

ploymeilt has decreased ant1 wages have been

increased by Id. per hour ill two stages and rewnt

The current scales of Professional Charges of the

Professional Institutions are included a t the end of

the Memoranda section. The National Schedule of

Daywork Charges agreed by the Chartered Surveyors'

Institution and ratified by the National Federation

of Building Trades Employers, is given on page 131.

The Legal Notes and Memoranda and the Employers'

Liability and Workmen's Compensation Acts, which

were a new feature of the 1925 edition, have been

revised and brought up to date.

The London Building Act, 1930, and other Acts

relating to buildings in London, with Standing Orders,

By-Laws and Regulations, and an introduction and

annotation of the Acts is published at 716 (post free).

This is a necessary book of reference for those users of

this volume whose business requires acquaintance with

the laws and regulations affecting building in London.

The list of Proprietary Articles and Trade Names

published in the blue pages a t the end of the book,

has proved to be of the greatest use to those interested

in the Building and Allied Trades. The Publishers

hope, therefore, that this list, which has been much

enlarged during the past few years and again revised

and extended in this edition, will continue to prove

useful. They will always be glad to welcome any sug-

gestions for its further improvement or development.

E X C A V A T O R . MEMORANDA.

In loose ground a man can throw up about 10 cubic yarda per day, but in hard or gravelly soils 5 yards will be a fair day's work. Three men will remove 30 yards of earth a distance of 20 yards in a day.

A cubic yard of earth and clay, measured before dlgging, will occupy about rf yards when dug, and a cubic yard of sand and gravel I& yards.

The capacity of a wheelbarrow is about & yard cube ; of a dobbin cart about 4 yard cube ; an earth wagon, small sue, will hold I& yard cube ; ditto, large, 3 yards cube; uiore often mechanical transport is used and lorries and wagons are of varying capacity and generally supplied under ooutract.

REINFORGED GONGHETE. Concrete for reinforced work should consist of Portland cement, con-

forming in all respects to the current British Standard Specification and to the tests therein prescribed ; sand ; clean, coarse, sharp grit , free from lime, chalk, earthy or vegetable matter or other impurities; aggregate of hard broken stone, shingle or gravel of assorted sizes, to pass through sieves of not less than &in. or more than in. : propor- tions of each vary from I : 2 : 4 to richer mixes of I : 14 : 3, or I : I : 2, dependent on the particular requirements. The quantrty of water for the mix should always be measured and not added a t hazard or left to the discretion of unskilled labour, because it has a n important bearing on the ultimate strength of the work.

Steel should be of British manufactnro and obtained from reputable rolling mills in accordance with the British Standard Specification. Steel for reinforced concrete as a rule consists of sections varying from ig in. up to and sometimes beyond I$ in. diamcter. The rolling mills despatch them in bundles according to the len ths and sections required, and these should be checked as soon as receive%. It is also advisable to ask for the rolling mill tests for each consignment.

I n estimating for weights of steel i t is well to ascertain the actual weights. The tl~eoretical weights of the smaller sections are not exact, and the mills usually allow a 5 % margin, more or less, and in calcu- lating i t is better to be on the safe side.

No pressure should be allowed on any part of reinforcedconcrete work for a t least four weeks after completion if ordinary cement is used, but this period may be appreciably reduced if a rapid hardening cement is used. Centering (sometimes called " Form work" or " False work ") merits a s close cons~deration as the concrete itself, and forms a substantial part of the total cost. I t mus t bc constructed easily.to carry the weight of the wet concrete without deflection and capable of being struck with- out jarring the fabric. Centering and casing is work for the Carpenter and not for the Labourer.

Reinforced concrete is so varied in i ts scope that i t is almost im- possible to give prices herein that can be any mnre than of suggestive value for estimating.

GONGRETE AND TIMBER PILING.

An effectively designed system of piling should convey the load through the doubtful strata to a lower strata capable of receiring the point-load to he transmitted by the pile.

The process of drivin Is in itself a. practical proof of the load the pile will bear, inasmuch as the $riving is, or should be, continued until the effect of a blow of specific weight produces it minimum driving movement indicative of a load-bearing capacity.

Where the length of pile likely to be required is not known from similar work done nearby, i t is advisable to drlve test piles to determine the length required.

G O N G H E T E AND T I M B E R PILING-cont inued . Reinforced coucrete piles are now almost invariably used for building

foundations, but tiwber pilev are still used for some riverside work such as in jetties and wharves. For this purpose Pitch Pine or possibly someof the hardwood6: such a s Pynkadoo are best, though the latter are rather expenswe.

Elm is often used for robbing piles for jetties, etc-i.e., bolted to the face of the king or sheet piling to withstand craft friction.

A Haft or reinforced Beam foundation on a system of piles suitably and accurately spaced either singly or in groups will generally serve even for a site of the poorest promise and often is both more economical and more satisfactory than deep excavation and mass concrete. It may also eliminate or reduce the expense of Pumping.

Undertakings of an important engineering nature or involving storm or other risks need individual consideration and are outside the scope of the present memoranda.

There is a practical leugth limit to which any section of Concrete Pile can be made for normal two point handling, above which the cost rises dis- proportionately owing to the extra steel necessary for reinforcement against breaking under its own weight when handled.

The generally accepted maximuin load capacity of different section4 of concrete piles and maximum length, are as follows :-

12ins. X ra ins. ... 36 tons load ... 40 ft. leligth. 74 3 , X I4 , r ... 50 ,r ... 50 9 , r ,

16 ,, X 16 , . 6.5 , ,, ... 60 ,, ,, 18 X 18 , . 8 , ,, ... 70 ,, ,,

The-e loads and lengths call be increased by a further 10% where all other conditions are farourable, and appreciably greater lengths can bo handled etficiently with hollow pile., the loading capacity being necessarily reduced dependent upon the unsupported length of pile in the finkbed structure.

The cost of piles varie; with the length owing to the weight of steel necessny in the main bars to reillforce the pile against handling stresses. and, of course, with other materials and facilities of the sitc in question.

DRIVING TIMBER OR CONGRETE PILES.

The cost of driving piles depends upon the number to be driven, owing to the cost of petting somewhat heavy plant to the site with its erection and ultimate di~mantlillg and removal, and also on the fdcilities of access to the site and movement about same during driving.

The costs of driving are always based on the length of pile to be pitched and may be as low as IS. 6d. per foot for a large number on il g o ~ d level site, and up to 69, od. or even 10s. od. per foot run on a difficult site. The driving of test piles is u s u a l l ~ separately priced and the cost depends upon the number of test piles and wl~ether the plant is to be removed after dr i j ingor to remain for driving the bulk piles. The costs of drivilig vary albo with tile size and weight of p ~ l e driven but thiq affects costs to a lesser extent than site conditions.

DEAINAGE AND SANITARY WORK.

MEMORANDA. D R A I N S should not be laid to a less fall than about a inches in ro

feet. Each joint must be carefully formed with Portland cement and wiped out on the inside so that all obstruction due to the cement passing through the joint to the inside of the plpe may be removed.

Pipes with Stanford and other types of patent joints are an improve- ment uhon the ordinary pipes and cost about 30 per cent. more. Iron pipes are desirable where drains pass under a building, and should be coated with Dr. Angus Smith's patent solution or Professor Barff's rustlesa process, to preserve them from rnst. This is the best form of drain for the purpose, as there are less joints than in stoneware pipes, and the risk of the escape of smell into t h ~ building is reduced to a minimum.

Before pricing drainage and sanltary work, the bye-laws of the local sanitarv and water authorities should be ~ e r u s e d for suecial re~nlations affect~n"~ the cost.

- Estimators shonld make themselves familiar with the requirements

under the l'ubhc Health Act, 1891, and the regulations issued by the Borounh Councils as well as the Renulations made bv the Metrooolitan ~ a t e r ~ o a r d under the Metropolis Water Act, 1871, relating to sanitary matters, and of tho Bye-Laws ismed by the London County Council.

D R A I N TESI3.-There are several modes of testing drains, such as by charging with matcr, or by pouring down some strong smelling substance (oil of peppermint, for instance), when any leakage through joints or otherwise, makes itself easily perceptible-or, by means of a smoke machine, which has the further advantage of making visible the source of any leakage.

I t is obvious that the water test is the most serere of any that can be applied, and is the system generally adopted by the sanitary authoritiea in London and elsewhere. Where it is intended to apply such test i t is only fair that the builder should know it beforehand, as none but the best pipes are sufficiently relmble ; patent joints are more reliable than the ordinary cement joints mhere the water test is to be applied.

BASIC PRIGES FOR BRIGXWOHK. The following prices for materials delivered are taken as the basis of

valuation for brickwork. In all cases, however, where quantities are con- cerned, special quotations should be obtained. The drawings should be examined and some reduction made for specially heavy work with long and unbroken faces ; similarly brickwork, if mostly in thin walls or much broken by openings, requires some allowance for the additional labour.

FAGINGS.

To find the value of extra only on facings, take the difference per thou- sand between the building bricks and the required facings--divide by 10 for English bond, or by IZ for Flemish bond, and the result gives the price in pence and fractional parts per foot super. Thus, for English bond mith stocks at 86s. and facings at rros., the difference, 24s., divided by 10, gives z+d. per foot, to which must he added cost of pointing.

Reveals to be measured, except where intended to be stuccoed.

ADVERTISEIIENTS. 238a

Published Monthly, with Two Additional Special Numbers. Single copies, 8d.

Annual Subscription lo;-, payable in advance.

This popular monthly (founded in 1896 as "The Quarry ") has for 39 years been the Representative Journal of the Building Stone, Roadstone, Granite, Slate and Mineral Industries.

The scope of the Journal embraces both the PRODUCER and the USER of Quarry Products, and its function is to keep the Producer and Consumer in touch with each other and discuss matters of technical interest to both.

As the outlets of Quarrying materials have increased so extensions have been made t o the scope of the Journal so that i t shall deal adequately with the subject of ROADMAKING, and thereby co- ordinate the interests of two important industries.

Methods of Road Construction and Maintenance, Notes on Topical Road Matters, New Materials, Descriptions of New Road- making Plant, Personal Notes, etc., are regular features of the paper. Well-illustrated articles on the Principal Roadworks recently completed or in course of construction in various parts of the Kingdom appear each month.

Fully-illustrated descriptions of the most up-to-date Quarries now working, Facilities for Increasing Output, a Review of the Latest Quarrying Machinery and Plant, as soon as i t is put on the Market, etc., are all dealt with promptly.

Two Special Numbers are published each year--one in the Spring devoted t o Road Surfacing and Maintenance, and one in the Autumn devoted to Road Construction and Public Works.

The Journal circulates amongst Quarry Owners and Managers, Civil. Municipal and County Engineers, Highway Surveyors, Road and Public Works Contractors, etc., etc., a t Home and Abroad.

' * STONENE " is a Lough, hard-wearingdaoip-prooti~lg., for all building materials, being equally effective on cement or concrete-green or old, brickwork, plaster, asbestos sheel, fibre board.

" Stonene " has the unique property of being applicable to walls that are actoallg danip a t the time-it being necessary only to wipe off t,he sianding beads of ~no i i t a r e before pitinting with either brush or spray- gun. Nost waterproof paints form films over the particles of moisture, obtaining a Lev hen: and there upon minor snrface projections. s L SLonene" contbins a rapidly drying solvent miscable with water, and therefore i t goes righl through to obtain its key evenly over the whole surface, while the displaced moisture dries out through the coating together with its solvcnt, leaving a hard, dry, perfectly adherent finish.

Only two co2tls of "Stonene" are usually necessary ; and although i t can be supplied iin many attractive colours (including pale shades), i t has the further advantage that any other paint may hc applied over i t a t any time.

S T O N E WALLING.

A cubic yard of rough walling requires from I to I& yards of wall stones, but if in coursed work, i t will require fully 14 yard. Quarry pre- pared facings are sometimes sold by the ton, which will do from 3 to 34 yards super (according to the nature of the stone), with a bed averaging about 6 in. I n country districts stone walling is sometimes reckoned by the rood of 7 square yards, or 63 feet super.

The price of stone walling must necessarily depend much upon the nature as well as the cost of the stone employed, but the Eollowi~~g may be of service as affording useful data in connection with this class of work. In arriving a t the prime cost of the stone (unless it be supplied a t a given price) i t is neceesary to carefully take into account the cost of baring or uncovering the rock, which is frequently as expenswe an item as tbe getting of the stone itself when it lies deep. The follow in^ prices are based upon an assumed prime cost of 10s. od. per cube yard for the stone delivered on the job, and its being of a medium hardness o r texture:-

MARBLE MASON. Note.--The immense number of varieties of marble and the wide varia-

tions in qualities and cost of working make it impossible, except in a few instances, to give even approximate prices which could be considered reliable and only the chief characteristics, therefore, are given herein.

F O R E I G N MARBLES. -Our principal supplies are, in the main, drawn from Greece, Italy, France, Belgium and Africa, whence we import an immense variety of plain and coloured marbles, from the common - Sicilian to the high class and decoratire descriptious, and embracing also a vast range of colour.

GREEK MARBLES.-T~~OS (Green), Cippolino (Green), Skyros, with white ground and gold and violet veins, Rosso Antico, Verde Antico and Naxos (White).

A11 these marbles weigh in the rough block approximately 1 2 cubic feet to the ton.

There is produced in Greece a large quantity of coloured marbles from the quarries of Tinos, Skyros, Styra (Cipollino) and Verde Antico. The colours are so numerous and varied that any scheme of marble decoration can be carried out entirely in them. The sole proprietors are Girecian Marbles (Marmor), Limited, 53 Sew Broad Street, E.C.2.

FENNINQ & CO. LIMITED, of Palace Wharf, Rainville Road, Eammer- smith, W.6. Granite, Marble and Mosaic Workers.

I n addition to large stocks of British, Italian, Belgian, Norwegian, French and Spanish white and coloured marbles, which comprise those mentioned below and many other varieties, Messrs. Fenning & CO. Limited, are making a special feature of the Trieste, or, as they are more commonly known, the Roman or Istrian marbles. A large stock of blocks, slabs and scantlings is kept, and the prices compare favourably with the marbles of similar nature from Derbyshire nnd France. Varieties of cream, white, grey and light brown are in stock, and the large sizes availahle enable work to be carried out promptly. These marbles are much in demand a t the present time, both for decoration and also for memorial and outside work, their weather resisting qualities being superior even to the white Sicilian so much used for monumental work in this country.

The following is a list of some of the best known varieties of marble, with their predominant colours.

Returned ends and mitres extra. Prices depend largely upon the rarieties of marble selected and upon the

amount of molded .cvork and extra laboura. Prices are very unstable a t the present time and special qliotatio~is

should be obtained.

E N G L I S H MARBLES.-Foremost among those are the Deronsbire Marbles, obtained from t h e noighbourhood of Plymouth; they possess a variety and r a u e nf colour that is most remarkable, and often exceedingly beautiful, sometimes bizarre, especially the " feathery " varieties, wl~ile other fossiliferons kinds 3re plctureaquely marked by the sectiol~s of embedded shells of varied colour. The prevailing colour is grev of differing shades, but nearly every variety is to be found, from a delicate lilac to a warm chocolate or dark d i r e green. The Oratory a t Brompton affords excellent examples of its use in panels, columns, pilasters, kc., and it le being extensively used in all parts of the Kingdom, and exported to distantparts of the world.

D E R R Y S H I R E F O S S I L MARBLES.-Most of the varieties are very hard and sound, and well adapted for chancel steps, pavings, &c. Kirkcaldy's test 812'7 tons per square foot. Prevailing colours are a light grey to a very dark brown, and the fossiliferous character is very beautifully marked. One well-known variety is called " Bird's Eye ; " t,his is full of very small fossil (hence its name) and in appearance is not very unlike Purbeck ; another, called L)erbyshire Fossil, is full of enrich- ment. Price ill random block 10s. to 13s. per foot cube, or sawn to dimen- sions 28s. and 32s. in truck.

TERRA GOTTA. MEMORANDA.

The approximate weight of terra cotta untilled is 3 j to 40 feet cube to the ton, dependent on the size of the blocks. Where the blocks are smaller the lower figure should be used, and the higher figure for large blocks.

I t is obvious that work constructed in little pieces with no great depth of bed will cost more per foot cube than larger and simpler construction.

Increased cost also arises when the work is so designed'that single blocks only are required, for which an elaborate model and expensloe mould hare to be specially made.

Coke breeze is to be avoided as aggregate for the concrete filling ; broken bricks and stone ar8 euitable and should have a proportion of sand added to fill the interstices, and be mixed in the proportion of about eight parts broken bricks or broken stone and clean sand to one part of cement. If broken bricks are used, care must be taken to remove old mortar, which may possibly contain pieces of unslaked lime.

The concrete should not be rammed into the blocks. As the prices for terra cotta are governed very considerably by the size

of the contract and the amount of enrichment, the following prices must be taken as approximate :-

§LATER AND SLATE MASON.

The alstes generally used for roofing are chiefly obtained from North Wales, Westmorland and Cornwall. London and Home County mer- chants have introduced the thousand of 1,000 a t pro rata prices, but the old reckoning of 1,200 is more generally used in the provinces. The London reckoning is used here.

Copper nails should always be used for good work. Zinc nails are not yo durable as the heads are more liable to come off in driving.

The three principal descriptions of slate produced in North Wales a r e known as Hangor, Carnarvon and Portmadoc. The Bangor quarries are the oldest and still maintain their world-widereputation. The term " Uangor " is inreality t,oo open and ambiguous, and in its legitimate sense applies only to the Penrhyn and the Dinorwic or Velinheli Quarries, which are working a t opposite ends of the same slate vein running N.E. and S.W. Where these quarries are specified by name,the result ought to be the best Bangor. The slates produced are of three varieties, viz :-The old quarry, which are blue, the red, and the new quarry, which are light blue. The two former kinds are supplied in two qualities of thickness, and the latter in three.

The best Portmadoc slates are blue, and come from the Oakeley, Maen- Offeren and other quarries situated a t Fest,iniog, for which Portmadoc is the port. Large supplies are also sent to the London market froni other Carntlrvon quarries, but with some exceptions they are inferior in quality and durability. Foreign slates are not infrequently offered as Portmadoc, and i t is well when ordering to specify the name of a quarry in the district. Cornwall also produces excellent roofing slates from the Old Delabole Quarries, owned by the Old Delabole Slate Co., Ltd. Theso slates are in green (varied tints and shades) and grey, made in all regular sizes, also in randoms. Rustic Reds and Grey-Greens are produced in randoms only. The quarries have been in continuous work- ing for nearly 400 years and, beeides roofing slate, produce slate in slabs for a variety of purposes, including flooring and garden paving. I t is advisable to specify Old Delabole Slat,es by name.

MEMORANDA-continued.

Red and green slates are often worked in for ornamental effect. The best red are from Bangor, and of late years many varieties of green have beea introduced. Special attention should be paid when specifying green slates, and before ordering it is wise to inquire for and if possible inspect examples of their use. The Penrith are green and the Coniston grey in colour. A ton will cover about 2f squares. For beauty of colour and durability no slates are better than the beautiful sea-green slates from West- morland. Among the best are those obtained from the Tilberthwaite green slate quarries, near Coniston ; these, from their close texture, pre- vent the formation of ferric or red oxide of iron, and thus retain their eolonr permanently.

Westmorland slates are always sold by the ton, and are seldom made to sizes ; when they are, it is in very small qnantities for banding purposes, kc., and even then they are sold by the ton, and are charged as a rule about 10s. extra.

The average weight of the best Weatmorbnd slates is about g cwt. per square, the Eureka green slates 7 cwt. per square, and Roberts, Adlard's Green and Rust,ic slates g cwt. per square.

In selecting slates choose those which are flat, true in form, uniform in colour, hard and rough to the touch, giving a clear ringing sound when slruck, and not friable at the edges. If partly snbmerged in water, the part not submerged should remain dry.

Bands, crosses, numerals, and other ornamental designs are so numerous and varied, depending entirely on the fancy of the designer, that it is im- possible to give prices that would be universally applicable. In every case the work should be valued by a practical estimator, or charged by men's time and matarials, with profit added.

Enamelled slate is suitable for chimney-pieces, baths, wash-stands, table tops, and interior decorations. I t takes a very high polish, and imitations of rich and rare specimens of marble can be produced at a considerably lower price than natural stone. I t requires to be carefully used, as the surface is easily scratched and the arrises are liable to chip.

The Standardisation Committee representing all interests, has agreed that the names previously given to the various sizes of slates should be dropped and that size.: only should be specified : the following list gives the sizes normally marketed, with their weights and covering capacity, and in some cases the names by which tho sizes were formerly known.

MEMORANDA.

TO ASCERTAIN THE VALUE OX TIMBER PER FOOT CUBE, when the prime cost per load is known. Rule-Add to the price a t the yard 11. per load, for sawing and carting, then multiply the number of pounds by 64d., which will give the price per foot cube, including 20 per cent. profit and waste. Esamp1e.-If the prime cost a t the yard be 71. add 11. for sawing and carting, which will make 81. ; 64d. multiplied by 8 will give 4s. qd. per foot cube. Odd shillings in the prime cost are treated as fractions : thus the foot cube price of a load costing £8 5s. would be 8f times 6#. viz, 4s. 5H. As a rough check, timber is worth slightly over r @. per foot cube for every £I per Standard.

'1'0 AYCEI~TAIPI TEE FmcE OF DEALS, when the price per C. ( i . e . per 120)

is known. Rule-Multiply the number of pounds by ad.. or double it, which will give the number of pence each deal is worth. Example.-If deals be 40l., it will be 4oXz=8od., or 6s. 8d. per deal. If the price per deal be known, lo ascertain the value per C. Rule-Keduce the value of the deal into pence, and divide by 2, will give the value in pounds per C. Example. -If the price of a deal be 6s. gd. or 81d. i t will be 81+2=40&, or 401. 10s.

To AscxnTarN THE mrcm per foo t mper, for DEAL, to include 20 per cent. profit, when the prime cost per C. delivered is given. Rule-Take ~ d . for erery ~ o l . or &d. for jl.; suppose deals be 351 per C. inch deal will be 3 9 . per foot ; and if qd., qd. per foot-if for measured work, add Q for waste ; and for any other thickness add or deduct ~ d . per foot for every f of an inch variation up to I$ inch, and above I & inch fd. for every + of an inch variation. Thus, if inch deal be qd., & inch will be nd. ; f inch, gd. ; 14 inch, gd. ; I* inch, 6d. ; 2 inch, 7&d. ; 2+ inch, gd. ; and 3 inch, 1 4 d .

ailhuugh battens, deals, and plank8 formerly comprised almost t l ~ c entire varieties of goods imported into this country, immense additions to these sizes have been introduced of late years, until a t the present time almost any scantling required is to be found in the docks, including also, occasionally, Dantzic plank and scantling. The advantage thus afforded in the saving upon sawing, cartage and waste is very con- siderable.

I t will generally be found neceusay i f " finished thickness" i s specified to take an extra $inch of rough timber to cover this.

The difficulty experienced in the past of obtniuing regul i~r w id t l~s has now been overcome by the Canadian hlills, under the new grading list, termed " N " list-Rules agreed upon after the recent O t t a ~ a Conference by the Lumber Association of British Columbia. Deals a r e being imported surfaced both edges and, if desired, all sides. Although reducing the size, i.e., z* X 8. finishing rf' X 7r, tests have proved they a re still stronger and superior to the average European Deal.

Advantages. The long life and great efficiency of the end grain flooring lies

in the wear-resisting quality of end grain wood. I t does not sliver or splinter and is practically everlasting under the most gruelling treatment. The extra thickness absorbs vibration, deadens noise, insulating against cold, and is easy on the feet because of its resilience. I t is clean and sanitary because not dust producing. Preserves sharp edges of tools dropped in shops.

Six Vital Features. (I) loo per cent. end grain (4) Heavy wood splines to

1)EAI . F R A M E D D0011S.-Thestyles, frieze,muntinsand top rails of framing 44 inches wide, lock arid bottom rail 64 wide ( i . ~ . out of deal width -ur 9 inch wide), but if styles, &c. g$ inch vide and rails 66 inch, the door is termed hatten, and the tenons being single inst,etrd of double, the cost pel. foot super is less, the panels to the square framing $ inch thick, and the hush panels inch thick.

I'ramed Doors are made of so many and various designs that it, is rery difficult to describe them all. But the rices here given will be found to be very generally applicable, and are t.o pe taken for the ordinary nominal tbickness. If of " finished thickness" the value of material a t t.he next f inch in thickness of same to be added. The most correct mode of finding t.he value is to measure the door as originnlly framed from the bench, which is generally square, or bead hutt , or flush and square; then take the sinkingci, moldings, tillets, reeds, &c., as they may occur ; value them distinctly, divide the amount by the contents & the do&, and add the result to the price of the first framina.

C I H C U L A R DOORS.-For labor only, for circular on plan & inch rise to the foot on the chord line once-and-a-half the price of straight, and for every 2 inch rise add one-half, and for labor and all materials for every ; inch rise add one-fourth.

Circular heads to be measured square and the prices for " labor ollly" to be three times, and for " lahor and all materials " double the price of square.

Elliptical or Gothic for "labor only" four times, and " lebm and all materials " twice the price of square.

Neasure the extreme size each way.

PLYWOOD.

Plywood is used in Joinery for Doors, Partitions, lining IValls and Ceilings, Panelling and similar work.

The principal moods in which plywood is made are Birch, Alder, Ciaboon Mahoga~ty, Pine, Oak and Ash. Other woods are also used in the manufacture of p13wood.

There are Lwo principal Lypev of plywood. 1n the first and tnore common type the board consists of three or more thin layers of wood cemented together, as diagrams A and A I. In the second type (known as laminated plywood or laminboard) the board consists of an inner core of thin strips of veneer cemented together with an outer veneer on each side of this core, the plane of the veneers forming the core bring a t right angles to the plane of the outer veneers, see diagram B.

SIZES AND THICKNESSES. Plywood is available in a great variety of sizes and thicknesses. Bosrds are ra ins. and upwards in width and they may be obtained up to 96 ins. in length if required. Thick boards (from Q iu. to 2 ins. thick) can be had in various sizes up to j ft. X 15 ft. and 10 ft. x 5 ft.

Lengths and widths arc usually stated in inches. The first dimension refers to the length of the board iu the direction of the grain of the face plies and tbe second dimension refers to the width of the board across the gram.

GRADES. Various qualities cau be obtained. The principal grades used in the building trade are (AA) plywood free of knots and defects on both sides. ( A ) plywood clean one side and with a few small knots on the reverse siile. ( H ) plyw110d with s~na l l knots or othcr defects U I I both side..

AVERAGE ~ ' I L I C Y S P E P sq?lrtye 101. the various qualities are given below. 'The prices, however, vary very considerably with the different lengths and widths ; small sizes are cheaper and large sizes substantially more.

SOUN USES OF ~'I.YWOOD. DOORS.-Plywood has been used f w a considerable tiine for panels i l l

i ihe ordinary frarne antl panel dour. mm., 6 min. and 8 mtn. are the usual thicknesses, buL for heavy doors 10 mm. is best. A new use which has developed more recently is the applic;~tion of plywood to form flush doors. A plywood flush door may consist of thin sheets of plywood fastened to each side of a hidden frame, or it may consist of a single thickness of laminated plywood or laminboard.

WALLS AND CEILIKGS.-AS an alternative to plaster, plwvood may be used for wall and ceiling lining. I t is :~vail:~ble in conrekient sizes and may be applied direct to wall battens or ceiling joists. The edges of the ply~vood boards may be butted and the snrlace papered completely over, giving the appearance of n plaster structure. If plyvvood of a better qudi ty is nsed, i t may be stained and ;I panelled effect secured by breaking up the surface with apl~ropriate ~nonldings. The nsual thicknesses for ceilings is 3 trim. or 4 mm. antl for wall panelling 4 mm. ; bnt if t he grounds are over 20 ins. apart 6 nnn. shoul~l be nsed.

CURVED WORK.-The thinner varieties of plywood a re convenient for curved work, such ns the sotfit of an arch or the end of a staircase. I f the curve is a sharp one it may be necessary to steam the pI~.wood and t,o tack it to a woode!l frame of the required shape while i t drics. Plywood should be bent, where possible, with the :isis of curvature parallel to the grain of the face plies.
