They are the result of engi- neering knowledge and experience as applied to the proper adaptation and use of materials for different forms of building construction. The basis of Corr-Propucts is the building itself—the best kind of reinforcement or support for concrete, cement, mortar or plaster required for each individual purpose, consistent with economy, speed of construction, strength and permanence. Each one of these products has been designed by engineers, and represents an experience of some twenty-six years in expanded metal and reinforced concrete construction in which several hundred mil- lion dollars’ worth of buildings have been erected. Corr-Mesh Corr-MeEsu is very stiff-ribbed expanded metal—a one-piece product, made from the toughest and strongest sheet metal that can be produced. Two kinds are manufactured—one with 34” ribs and the other with 5%” ribs. The former is called 34” Ris Corr-MEsH; the latter, 5¢” Rip Corr-Mesn. The metal between the ribs is ex- panded into a diamond mesh with a piece of plain metal left in the middle for further strengthening. The 34” Rrp Corr-MEsu is con- siderably heavier and stiffer than the °¢” Rrp Corr-MeEsu. 34"" Rib Corr-Mesh (See page 7 for detailed information as to sizes, gauges, etc.) The ribs, 34 inch high, give great strength and stiffness to the sheets which give firm support to concrete and plaster both during construction and after. For walls and partitions, 34” Ris Corr-Mesu is plastered both sides with cement mortar, forming a smooth, solid, monolithic wall of great strength. The ribs do away with extra studding—a saving in material and labor cost. For roofs and floors, 34” Rrs Corr-Mesu acts as formwork, and the concrete is merely spread and smoothed down. It supports the wet concrete; no deck centering is required. This saves approxi- mately 3% cents per square foot. CORR-MESH—THE MATERIAL Application of 34” Rib Corr-Mesh Foundries and light manufacturing plants: Replaces corrugated iron and mill construction. Corr-Mesu is the ideal method of con- struction for roofs, floors, partitions and exterior walls. Railroads: Handsome, permanent, fireproof stations, sheds and wayside buildings in stucco at low cost. Amusement park buildings: Corr-Mesu makes possible the only low cost construction on which insurance can be obtained. 56 Rib Corr-Mesh (See page g for detailed information as to sizes, gauges, etc.) Lighter than 34” Rip Corr-MeEsu, but made on the same prin- ciple. The ribs are 5¢” high. 5¢” Rip Corr-MeEsuH is used extensively for ceilings, where it greatly reduces the material required in the supporting framework, and cuts down the cost of erection. In stucco construction it elim- inates furring strips and makes a strong and permanent reinforce- ment for the plaster covering. Application of %’” Rib Corr-Mesh Stucco veneer residences Culverts Conduits Farm buildings Tanks Fences Sewers and similar construction. ‘The fireproofing advantage is obvious. Corr-MeEsu is instantly available for repair work, whether on steel, concrete or wooden frames. Many railways and industrial corporations carry Corr-MeEsu in stock. Many Advantages Corr-MeEsu greatly reduces the amount of labor. It does away with the old methods of deck centering in roof and floorwork, and the extra studding and labor of wiring in partitions. Special labor- saving tools and devices for attaching to all kinds of framework greatly increases the speed of erection. (See pages 51, 52 and 53.) Corr-Mesu constructions are light in weight, saving in the cost of supporting framework. Corr-MEsH construction costs less than any other construction giving equal permanence and general utility. In the following pages are descriptions and illustrations of the applications of Corr-MEsH to various uses, also a supplement on labor-saving tools and fittings.

The above illustration shows a few samples of CuRVED CorrR- Mesu. The curvature is uniform and the ribs may be on either the inside or the outside. CurveEpD Corr-MeEsu is especially adapted for any construction where it is necessary to concrete or plaster a curved surface. In re- inforced concrete sewers, conduits, arched floors and similar construc- tion, the Corr-Mesu acts both as reinforcing material and form work, eliminating the expensive curved centering usually required for such work. It is also extensively used for curved roofs, domes, alcoves, and other constructions which require simple or groined arches, and other curves for walls and ceilings. The cost of curving the Corr-Mesu sheets is low. CURVED Corr- Mess is crated for shipment, and arrives in perfect condition. 5¢” Rp Corr-Mesu is not curved at the factory. 11 CORR-MESH Instructions for Ordering Curved Corr-Mesh When but one od 13 Curves 2 FIGURE 7 FIGURE 8 In ordering Curvep Corr-MeEsu always give length L (see sketch), and the rise H to the underside of the Corr-Mzsu. It is not necessary to give the length of the radius where curving is shown by Figure 7, but the radius should be given where curving is to be as shown by Figure 8. CURVED CORR-MESH FLOOR Rock Storage Plant, Dexter Portland Cement Co., Nazareth, Pa. GORRUGATED BAR COMPANY Solid Partitions 34’’ R1p Corr-Mesu, plastered on both sides, forms solid two- inch partitions of great strength and economy. Their light weight (20 pounds per square foot) cuts down the total weight of building. They save in floor area (2% in office buildings and 4% in hotels and apartment houses). They are absolutely fireproof, and the strongest of all the standard fireproof partitions used in Class A build- ings. ‘They are more nearly soundproof than any other kind of parti- tion except hollow-tile. This was shown by an extensive series of tests made on various kinds of partitions at the Chicago Music Building. CORR-MESH SOLID PARTITIONS Before Plastering Easy to Build 34"’ Rip Corr-MEs is stud and lath in one piece. The ribs act as studding. The end ribs of adjacent sheets interlock, forming a continuous sheet which is ‘“‘up-ended”’ as a unit and secured top and bottom. Special fastenings make this quick and easy. Any standard lime or patent plaster is easily applied with no waste of material. Lime plaster has a much greater sound-proofing efficiency than the patent plasters but, if used, it should be gauged with 10% Port- land cement. Corr-MEsu partitions are like a solid slab of stone with the added strength and toughness of steel reinforcement. They have come into wide use in apartment houses, hotels, warehouses, factories and all classes of industrial buildings. For designing details and specifications, see pages 15-17. 13 CORR-MESH ERECTING CORR-MESH SOLID PARTITIONS First Step Raising several sheets that have been fastened together on the floor.

Outside ribs of adjacent sheets shall be interlocked and, every 24 inches, pinched together by special punch or wired tightly with No. 16 galvanized wire. Fastening Partitions Details of attachment to floor and ceiling are shown on pages 15 and 16. Splicing Corr-Mesh Where partitions are of such a height that it is necessary to make end splices, sheets shall lap 2 inches where the laps come directly over a permanent supporting framework. If laps do not come at the permanent support, each rib shall be punched or wired tightly at both ends of all laps, which shall be at least 4 inches if they break joints, or not less than 8 inches if they do not break joints. High Partitions If partitions are more than 18 feet high, some standard framing shall be provided. This framing is usually of light structural steel angles, tees or channels. When a framing is required, it may be advisable to run the ribs horizontally instead of vertically. Plastering Before plastering, place temporary horizontal shoring on rib side at middle of height of partition; plaster on lath side first, then, after first coat has set, remove shoring and plaster on rib side. Plaster Use any standard lime or patent wall plaster prepared for use on metal lath. If lime plaster is used, 10 per cent Portland cement shall be added for strength, and long cow hair, of good quality, shall be mixed in the plaster for the first coat on each side, in the proportion of 1 pound of hair for each sack of cement.

The stiffness and close spacing of the ribs permit the supports to be placed from 26 inches to 40 inches center to center (see Table VI on next page). This makes a great saving in the cost of both the material and erection of the studs. The Corr-Mesu forms a good, stiff, smooth surface, which has no tendency to wave while being plastered, and permits the plasterers to work with maximum speed, using a minimum quantity of material. For fireproof construction, small steel or sheet metal channels or rolled angles can be substituted for the wood studs as shown in Fig. 10 on the next page. 18 CORRUGATED BAR COMPANY Designing Details 56” RIB CORR-MESH, WITH 5g” RIB CORR-MESH, WITH LATH SIDE OUT, STAPLED TO LA LH GSIDESIN, WILRED TO WOOD STUDS METAL STUDS Figure 9 Figure 10 Specifications Corr-Mesh 5¢” Rip Corr-MeEsu of .......... gauge (for proper gauge, see Table VI below), with ribs spaced not more than 3 inches center to center, shall be used for double partitions and solid partitions over yt ee feet in height.

Floors 34” Rip Corr-MeEsu is very effective in the construction of short floor spans between beams of either steel or concrete. No centering is required, as Corr-MEsH supports the wet con- crete which is merely spread and smoothed down. This not only saves in cost (about 314 cents per square foot), but also greatly increases the speed of construction. For Light Loads In hotels, apartment houses, etc., the more economical construc- tions are shown by Systems 1, 2 and 3 on page 24. With these sys- tems a suspended ceiling is generally used (see Fig. 14, page 33). For carrying capacity and specifications for Corr-MeEsH floors, see pages 25, 27 and 28. 21 CORR-MESH CORR-MESH FLOORS 22 CORRUGATED BAR COMPANY CORR-MESH FLOOR Wolverine Portland Cement Company, Coldwater, Michigan Arched Floors for Heavy Loads In warehouses; factories, etc., curved 34’’ Ris Corr-MEsH per- mits a very economical arched concrete slab construction. (See Systems 4 and 5 on page 24.) Corr-MeEsu is curved at the factory to any radius required, and carefully crated to prevent damage during shipment. The curved sheets can be rapidly placed in position. No center- ing is required. Where structural steel floor beams are used, the Corr-MEsuH rests on the bottom flanges, as shown by Systems Nos. 3 and 4 on next page. Where reinforced concrete beams are used, the Corr- Mes rests on the forms for the bottom of the beams; the mesh is stripped back from the ribs a distance sufficient to allow the concrete to completely enclose the outside reinforcing rods in the beams. This eliminates the expensive formwork for the beam boxes. (See System No. 5 on next page.) If you will send us loads, and sketches showing floor layout we will gladly prepare sections showing suitable and economical design. 23 CORR-MESH Designing Details COMTI: CMs ALLL P/a57EF System No. 1 concrete Maple flooring over Cinder f // Corr- Mesh.

Outside ribs of adjacent sheets shall be interlocked and, every two feet, pinched together by special punch or fastened tightly with No. 16 galvanized wire. Ends of sheets shall always come over the supporting beams and shall be lapped at least two inches. The interlocked ends of the middle ribs of lapped sheets shall be wired together or pinched with the punch. The attachment of the sheets to the supporting members shall be made with standard Corr-Mesu Roof Clips or with galvanized wire. This attachment shall be made every 6% inches along each supporting member and shall be located at every second rib. Place Corr-MeEsu with the rib side upward. Provide 44-inch round rods for expansion. These rods shall be 24 inches apart and shall run at right angles to the ribs of the Corr- Mesu. They shall be secured in place. Concrete Planking shall be laid across the Corr-MeEsu for runways and for supporting the weight of the workmen. The runways shall be so placed as to come over the supports. The slab shall consist of a layer of concrete placed on top of the Corr-Mesu and a %-inch coat of Portland cement mortar plastered on the underneath side after the concrete slab has set. While the top layer of concrete is being poured, the Corr-MEsH shall have temporary supports,.......... apart, placed between the permanent supports. (See Table VIII on page 25, and Fig. 11 on page 24.) These temporary supports shall remain in place until the concrete has thoroughly set. The materials composing the concrete shall be as follows: Portland cement which meets the standard specifications of the American Society for Testing Materials. Pf CORR-MESH Sand of good quality and free from dirt. Gravel, well washed, capable of passing a %-inch ring, or Broken stone of good quality, from which the crusher dust has been removed and capable of passing a %-inch ring. The concrete shall consist of I part Portland cement, 2 parts sand, and 4 parts broken stone or gravel. When concrete is used for roofs, surface shall be troweled to a smooth finish. The completed concrete work shall be made to dry slowly by protecting from the sun by means of canvas, burlap, etc., and by keeping the work well wet down for at least 48 hours. Plastering Underneath Side After the concrete has set, and the temporary supports have been removed, the underside shall be plastered to a thickness of % inch with a cement plaster, composed of Portland cement, sand, hydrated lime and cow hair—all thoroughly mixed as specified on pages 37 and 38 for cement plaster. The materials composing this cement plaster shall be as follows: Portland cement as specified for the concrete. Sand as specified for the concrete. Lime of best quality and uniformly hydrated. Long cow hair of good quality. W ater proofing A standard waterproof roofing shall be laid over all Corr-MEsu roofs. Concrete Beams When concrete beams are used to support the slab, the ends of the Corr-MeEsu shall rest on the beam boxes. The ends of the sheets shall extend not less than one inch into the beam, and the Corr-MEsu shall be in position when placing the concrete in the beams. The concrete in the slab shall be thoroughly bonded to the concrete in the beams. Timber Beams When wooden beams are used to support the slab, the Corr-MEsu shall be secured to the beams by wire staples not less than 2% inches in length. The staples shall straddle the ribs, shall be placed along each supporting member, and shall be located at every lapped rib, 28 CORRUGATED BAR COMPANY NWN AGA? *CORR-MESH ROOF, Pier Sheds, Havana, Cuba Roofs For roof construction of industrial buildings, 34” Rip Corr- Mesu is economical of material and labor, is permanent and fire- proof. It permits the use of thin slabs, thus reducing the weight of the supporting steel frame. Saves nearly all the cost of centering. The 34-inch ribs give great strength and enable the Corr-MEsu to support the wet concrete. This saves 314 cents per square foot in centering. Gives a fireproof, permanent roof, repair-free for all time. The cost is less than for the older types of reinforced concrete roof. Though somewhat more expensive than corrugated iron sheets in first cost, it is far more economical in the long run, and is better looking, besides being fireproof. Corr-Mesu roofs are easily, quickly and economically con- structed. Corr-Mesu spans the framework and the concrete 1s merely poured and smoothed down.

Y. Ceilings Suspended ceilings are artificial ceilings, made to produce a flat ceiling effect by the hiding of beams and girders. For this purpose Corr-MeEsu is thoroughly satisfactory and very economical. It is lath and furring in one piece. The minimum of labor is required and labor cost is therefore low. Corr-MeEss ceilings are substantial and permanent. The strands are entirely covered by plaster and thus thoroughly protected. Method of Support Corr-Mesu is placed with the mesh down, cross supports for the ribs being placed every two to six feet, depending on the gauge used. These supports are attached directly to the floor beams or are held by hangers, which should be stiff to resist upward pressure in plastering and adjustable to bring the ceiling to a true plane surface.

(For gauge of Corr-Mesu, see Table X on next page.) Erection of Corr-Mesh The Corr-MeEsu shall be erected with the rib side outward. The outside ribs of adjacent sheets shall be interlocked and, every 24 inches, pinched together by the special punch or wired tightly with No. 16 galvanized wire. End laps shall be not less than 6 inches. When laps do not come directly over the permanent supports, each rib shall be punched or wired tightly at both ends of all laps, and laps shall be not less than 8 inches if they do break joints. The Corr-Mesu shall be fastened to the supporting framework as shown by the details on pages 35 and 36, or by other methods that meet the approval of the engineer. Where the building has a structural steel framework, each second rib of the Corr-MeEsH shall be fastened to this frame at each support. The fastenings shall be spaced 61% inches apart. Where a timber framing is used, the Corr- Mes shall be attached by staples over each second rib. The Corr-MeEsu sheets shall, where possible, be run horizontally. If this is impracticable and the sheets run vertically, %4-inch round temperature rods, spaced 24 inches apart, shall be run horizontally. Cement Plaster The cement plaster shall consist of the following materials: Portland cement which meets the standard specifications of the American Society for Testing Materials. Sand of good quality and free from dirt. Lime of best quality and uniformly hydrated. Waterproofing of a standard quality that meets the approval of the engineers. The cement plaster shall be mixed as follows: 10 parts Portland cement and 1 part hydrated lime, measured by volume, shall be thoroughly mixed dry; 1 part of this cement-lime mixture and 2 parts sand, measured by volume, shall be thoroughly mixed dry, and sufficient water then added to make a stiff plaster. The plaster shall be mixed in such quantities that it can be ap- plied immediately after the water has been added. No plaster shall be used that has been mixed with the water for longer than 30 minutes. 37 CORR-MESH The plaster for the first coat shall contain a thorough intermix- ture of long cow hair of good quality, in the proportions of 1 pound of hair for each sack of cement used. The plaster for the 34 inch finish coat on exterior walls shall con- tain a standard waterproofing material, mixed and used according to the manufacturer’s specifications for that purpose. Application of Cement Plaster Before Corr-MeEsu is plastered, temporary wooden bracing shall be placed against the lath side so that the material shall not span more than 6 feet in the clear. The first coat of plaster shall be applied on the outer side of the Corr-Mesu and, while still wet, the surface shall be scratched over to form a key for the finishing coat, which shall be put on as soon as possible after the first coat has set. As soon as the cement plaster on the rib side has set, remove the temporary bracing and proceed with the plastering on the lath side, using the same mixture as for the first coat on the other side. The total thickness of the wall shall not be less than 2 inches. Protection Plastering shall not be undertaken when the temperature is below 32° Fahrenheit without taking proper precautions to prevent the plaster from freezing. The plaster shall not be allowed to dry out too rapidly, and where exposed to sun or wind, the surface shall be either frequently sprayed for at least 48 hours after the initial set has taken place or protected by hanging wet curtains in front.

This gives a very handsome finish, is economical, and plastered according to specifications, affords an excellent insulation against heat in summer and cold in winter. The ribs run horizontally and serve as longitudinal temperature reinforcements from end to end of wall. The tensile strength and coefficient of expansion of 5¢’’ Rip Corr-MeEsu per foot of width are equal to those of a 34” thickness of stucco for the same width, thus making the cement and steel ab- solutely a unit in expansion and contraction. The slight and very gradual slipping of the stucco over the sheathing, caused by changes of temperature, is thus permitted without cracking. The ribs hold the mesh away from the wall a sufficient distance for the plaster to key perfectly on the inside of the mesh, eliminating metal or wood furring strips. This increases speed and reduces cost of erection. In Corr-Mesu, the mesh is stiff and smooth and the plaster can be spread rapidly.

A pplication of Cement Plaster The first coat shall be applied on the Corr-MeEsu and thoroughly pushed through so as to completely embed the mesh of the lath on both sides. The first coat shall have a minimum thickness over the lath at any point of not less than %4 inch. The intermediate coat which shall be put on as soon as possible after the first coat has set shall have a thickness of not less than 4 inch nor more than 3¢ inch. The final coat shall have a thickness of 4 inch when plastered over an intermediate coat, or of 34 inch when plastered directly on the scratch coat. Protection—See page 38. 43 CORR-MESH FINISH SmootH TROWELED: The finishing coat shall be troweled smooth with a metal trowel with as little rubbing as possible. STIPPLED: The finishing coat shall be troweled smooth with a metal trowel with as little rubbing as possible, and shall then be lightly patted with a brush of broom straw to give an even stippled surface. SAND FLOATED: The finishing coat, after being brought to a smooth, even surface, shall be rubbed with a circular motion of a wood float with the addition of a little sand to slightly roughen the surface. This floating shall be done when the mortar has partially set. Sanp SPRAYED: After the finishing coat has been brought to an even surface, it shall be sprayed by means of a wide, long fibre brush—a whisk broom does very well—dipped into a creamy mixture of equal parts of cement and sand, mixed fresh every 30 minutes and kept well stirred in the bucket by means of the whisk broom or a paddle. This coating shall be thrown forcibly against the surface to be finished. This treatment shall be applied while the finishing coat is still moist before it has attained its final set, i. e., within 3 to § hours. To obtain lighter shades, add hydrated lime of § to 15 per cent of the volume of the cement. SPLATTER Dasu or Roucu Cast: After the finishing coat has been brought toa smooth, even surfacé and before attaining final set, it shall be uniformly coated with a mixture of one part cement and two parts of sand thrown forcibly against it to produce a rough surface of uniform texture when viewed fron a distance of 20 feet. Special care shall be taken to prevent the rapid drying of this finish. PessBLe Dasu: After the finishing coat has been brought to a smooth surface and before attain- ing initial set, clean round pebbles or other material as selected, not smaller than %4 inch or larger than 34 inch, previously wetted, shall be thrown forcibly against the mortar, so as to embed themselves in the fresh mortar. They shall be distributed uniformly over the surface of the final coat and may be pushed back into the mortar with a clean wood trowel, but no rubbing of the surface shall be done after the pebbles are embedded. Exposep AGGREGATES: The finishing coat shall be composed of an approved, selected, coarse sand, marble dust, granite dust or other special material, in the proportion given for finishing coats, and within 24 hours after being applied and troweled to an even surface, shall be scrub- bed with a stiff brush and water. In case the cement is too hard, a solution of one part hydrochloric acid in four parts of water by volume can be used in place of water. After the aggregate particles have been uniformly exposed by scrubbing, care shall be taken to remove all traces of the acid by spraying with a hose. Mortar Co.ors: When it is required that any of the above finishes shall be made with colored mortar, not more than 6 per cent of the weight of Portland cement shall be added to the mortar in the form of finely ground coloring matter. A predetermined weight of color shall be added to each batch of dry fine aggre- gate before the cement is added. The color and fine aggregate shall be mixed together and then the cement and lime mixed in. The whole shall then be thoroughly mixed dry by shoveling from one pile to another through a %-inch mesh wire screen until the entire batch is of uniform color. Water shall then be added to bring the mortar to a proper plastering consistency. MACHINE STUCCO Stucco may be applied by a machine, provided the results obtained are equal to those produced by handwork. 44 OC AOV IRE IRE (OK G ATE IBY de isN IR LC XOMMIL TEAC IN| 4 STUCCO RESIDENCES CORR-MESH EVOLUTION OF A SMALL CORR-MESH GARAGE Structural Steel Frame Garages, Stables, Outbuildings Garages, stables and outbuildings of stucco construction with Corr-Mesu are low in cost, permanent and free from repair expense.

For details of construction with timber frame, see pages 41 and 42. For details of construction with steel frame, see page 35. This construction is readily adapted to any style of architecture or finish and can be made to harmonize with any surroundings. 46 CORRUGATED BAR COMPANY Stuccoing Old Wooden Houses Old wooden houses may be transformed at small cost into beauti- ful stucco residences at greatly increased value by Corr-Mesu and cement mortar. 5@” Rip Corr-MeEsu is both lath and furring. It is fastened against the old siding with the ribs in; this holds the mesh away from the wall and leaves plenty of space for the plaster to key perfectly on the inside of the mesh. The sheets are placed horizontally and the ribs act as tempera- ture reinforcement as explained on page 4o. The corners may be reinforced by lapping lath over the Corr- Mesu, and wiring, but this is not necessary if the ribs are bent and run continuous around the corner as shown by the above illustration. Corr-MeEsu, due to the close spacing of the ribs, makes a firm surface on which to spread the plaster. It can readily be cut to fit around openings, corners, etc., where the old trim may be replaced by either a new and heavier trim or plastered corners. For specifications for mixing the cement plaster and protecting the finished work, see pages 37 and 38. For various stucco finishes, see page 44.

Fences A Corr-Mesu fence always presents an artistic and substantial appearance. While first cost is somewhat greater than wood, the expense of repairs and occasional renewal is entirely eliminated, and in the end this style of fence will prove a profitable investment. In post construction, several sheets should be laid flat, with the outside adjoining ribs interlocked and securely pinched together, the total width being made equal to the perimeter of the posts. For square posts, bend 34” Rrp Corr-MesH so that there will be a large rib at each corner of the post. For round posts, these sheets naturally spring around to a true circle. Lock the outside meeting ribs as previously described. Securely wire sheets forming panels to the Corr-MEsuH post reinforcement. Fill inside of post with concrete and cement plaster the outside. For detailed specifications covering application of cement plaster, refer to pages 37 and 38. Write us fully, and we will submit details to meet your requirements. 49 CORR-MESH Conduits, Sewers and Culverts 34" Rip Corr-MeEsu is used very extensively in the construction of sewers and conduits, making them indestructible and repair-free. They are easily, rapidly and economically built, as the great expense of circular centering is entirely dispensed with. The sheets of Corr-MeEsu, bent at the shop to proper radius, are set in position with the outside ribs interlocked and cement mor- tar then plastered on inside and outside to a total thickness of 2 to 3 inches. Longitudinal rods, wired to the ribs, should be spaced about 24 inches apart to provide for shrinkage and temperature changes. For detailed specifications covering application of cement plaster, refer to pages 37 and 38. 50 CO RR UGA De BARC OM, PUAN: CORRUGATED BAR. COMPANY Corr-Mesh Hand Punch For fastening together Corr-Mesu sheets This punch is soconstructed that it easily punches through several thicknesses of No. 24 gauge metal. In punching a hole through two or more ribs of 34” Rip Corr-MEsuH nested and pressed together, it causes the metal around the hole to interlock in such a manner as to securely fasten the ribs together, making a connection much stronger than wiring. The accompanying cut is from a photograph and illustrates how this punch locks the sheets together. Hand punches can be furnished with either 24 inchor36 inch handles. The latter are recom- mended for roof and floorwork. Corr-Mesh Hand Shear For shearing 34” Rip Corr-Mesu sheets It is often necessary to cut and fit Corr-Mesu on the job. With the Corr-Mesu Hand Shear, the sheets can be easily cut without deforming the ends of the ribs. These shears are so light that a workman can easily carry them in one hand. These shears are for cutting Corr-Mesu 34” Riss. Corr- Mesu 5¢’’ Riss are cut with ordinary tinners’ snips. 51 CORR-MESH Channels and Prong Angles ‘Sheet Metal Channel 114” Rolled Channel The accompanying illustrations show the Sheet Metal Prong Angles and Channels for fastening solid Corr-MeEsu solid partitions to floor and ceiling as shown on pages 15 and 16.

These bolts, as shown by accompany- ing illustrations, are supplied with double nuts and are threaded 2% inches for purpose of adjustment. 52 Corr-Mesh Wall Clips Wall Clips are for fastening 34” Rip Corr- Mesu to the sides of steel frame buildings. They are made with different openings be- tween the jaws so that they can be used on any thickness of steel from %4 inch to %% inch, inclusive. The clips grip with such strength that they readily support, without slipping or sagging, several times as much weight as they are required to carry in practice. These clips are accurately beveled to fit into the ribs of the Corr-MeEsu. Type “A” is for use where the Corr-MesH lies flat against the flange of the supporting stud (see ® Tig. 15). Type “B” is for use where the Corr- P Mesh lies across the edge of the flange of the supporting stud (see Fig. 16). FIG. 18 Corr-MeEsu is fastened to Type “A” Clips by punch- ing through the ribs with the special punch where the ribs cross the openings forming the jaws of the clip. Corr-MeEsi is fastened to Type “B” Clips by punch- ing the ribs through the holes in the backs of the clips. The accompanying illustrations are photographs showing how these clips are used. The test weight hung as shown in Fig. 18 for several months, and was then taken down. Corr-Mesh Roof Clips The Corr-MeEsu Roof Clips securely fasten 34” Rip Corr-MeEsH to structural steel pur- lins.
