Les exemplaires originaux dont la couverture en papier est imprimde sont filmds en commenqant par le premier plat et en terminan! soit par la derni^re page qui comporte unn empreinte d'impression ou d'illustra-jon, soit par le second plat, selon le cas. Tous les autres exemplaires originaux sont filmds en commenpant par la premiere page qui comporte une empreinte d'impression ou d'illustration et en terminant par la dernidrs page qui comporte une telle empreinte. The last recorded frame on each microfiche shall contain the symbol -h^ (meaning "CON- TINUED "). or the symbol V (meaning "END"), whichever applies. Un des symboles suivants apparaitra sur la dernidre image de cheque microfiche, selon le cas: le symbole — ^ signifie "A SUIVRE", le symbole V signifie "FIN". Maps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at different reduction ratios.

Our Works are located at Deseronto, Ontario, and have every facility for shippin,. l.y rail or water, thereby ensuring: tlie lowest possible prices. TJie numerous losses of life and property occasioned l.y hres every year show the necessity for the use of a n.ore inconi- .ustib e material in the construction of all classes of buildin.^s tlian those at present employed. * ' In consequence of the demand thus occasioned, the use of hre-proohng material has increased so rapidly du in. tl past few years that architects, builders and co-ftractor^' se L- tor a material combining strength, tire-proof qualities and economy of cost. * "*^' After repeated and careful tests Ponovs Tkhka Cottv IS found to comprise all the qualities, with many other ve v important ones which make it a material excellently adapt d for House Buildin.

Figure 3, shows a ten inch Porous Hollow Brick Flat Arch between iron beams. In this diagram it will be seen that the Skew-l)acks are shaped so as to entirely cover the lower flange of the beam, making a most perfect protection, and an unbroken ceiling. All the brick in these arches are grooved in order to give a rough surface for the plastering to adhere to, although this is not necessary. Weight per square foot surface, about 40 lbs. May be used in spans of .50 inch to 72 inch between beams -and will support a weight of from 1.500 to 2000 lbs per. square foot. Tlie lUdhhuu (■oiHjxtny. \\\ POROUS TERRA COTTA FLAT ARCH. Figure -4, shows a Porous Hollow Brick Arch sui)i)ortcd on raised Skew-backs wliich makes the top of arch on a line with the top flanges of iron beams, This style of arch is generally used witli heavy beams and where a straight ceiling is not reciuired. The necessity for concrete filling on top of airh is dispensed with, and a layer of good Hydraulic or Portland Cement on the top is all that is necessary to make a good and substantial floor. It is also perfectly adapted for the construction of flat roofs, thereby making a large saving in the expense, as well as in the weight; but for general roofing purposes, we advise the- use of slabs, as shown by figures, Nos 17 and lb.

Figure '), shows our Porous Hollow Bric-k Floor Joist placed [between (12; twelve inch iron beams, placed four or •five feet apart. Each Joist is composed of three sections, two haunches (a) and a key, (b), but can, if necessary, be made in more sections. Special attention is directed to the combination of skew-backs and joist section, thereby giving better protection to the flanges of the beams. •*'b", shows the first section, 'c", shows the skewback. The ltd ih bun Coni/jaiuj, POROUS TERRA COTTA SEGMENT ARCH. Figure G shows a I'uiwu.s Tkrua Cotta Segment Arch between iron beams. This style of arch is lar^'cly used in I-actories, Ware- houses, Stores, etc., wliere fiat or straight ceilings aro not necessary. Small hollow brick (the same si/e of connnnn red brick) are used in the construction of this arch, thus making a saving of forty per cent in weight, with a strength oqual to solid brick. The Skew-barks are made in two forms, as shown by the cut; one llush with the bottom of the beam, the other to cover the lower llange of beam, as shown in figure 3. 11 1 a U u o The liathbini Company. 19 POROUS TERRA COTTA HOLLOW BRICKS FOR PROTECTING IRON GIRDERS. Figure 7 shows a single Iron (lirdcr protcctcil by porous hollow bricks somewhat similar in form to our skew back in Figure 3 on page 10. Small iron clami)s are used at joints to hold same securely. Figure 8 shows a double iron girder protected n a similar mann-r but including the use of a slab or block of same material to protect the under part of flanges of girders.

Figure 9 shows one nietlioil of protecting Wood en To support the Skew-oacks wooden strips 1x1 J, inches or l]xU, inches are nailed on the beams. The lower side of Beams are fully protected by the pro- jection on the Skew-backs. When in place the under surface can be plastered, making a complete and finished wall. / The Rathhnn Company, 23 PROTECTION OP WOODEN BEAMS BY POROUS TERRA GOTTA. Figure 10 shows another method of protecting Wooden Beams. As will be seen this style is made of two blocks ton-rued and grooved which form the arch, all st,pport«l by the strips iiaded to beams as explained on page 21, in connection with figure 9. Full protection and a perfect ceiling is also secured. The Beaii:s are held firmly i;^ place and all twistin<. prevented.
