In these cases it is where the soil is naturally sandy. But we would advise the use of at least one inch of sand in all cases. It is necessary, to insure a good cement pavement, that the foundation be properly laid. If broken stone or cinders be used, the pieces should not be less than one inch, or more than three inches in size; if gravel, coal ash, or sand, it should be good clean material. If there is much clay, there should be drainage outlets provided to allow the water to run out from under the wmrk and prevent cracking. If rvater accumu¬ lates under the walk and freezes, the expansion will cause the mass to heave up. Where there is not a natural drainage, or where the ground is not sandy, one should excavate to the depth of twelve to fourteen inches. The excavation should be somewhat larger than the walk, in order to allow space for a framework of two-inch planks on edge for guides, and set even with the top of the sidewmlk when finished. Eight to ten inches of the excavation should be filled in with the broken stone, cinders, coarse gravel or sand. This should be put in in layers of about two inches, rvet, and tamped solid by the use of our tampers (Figs. 352 to 359) to avoid settting. A three to four-inch coat of concrete, composed of one part of best Portland cement, two parts of bar sand or gravel free from loam, four parts of stone or furnace slag (same to pass through a one-inch ring), thoroughly mixed dry. Then add enough -water to allow moisture to arise to the surface after hard tamping with either of the tampers (Figs. 352 to 359) most suitable. Be careful to cut the concrete, after tamping, clean through on the required lines with the concrete cutter (Figs. 321 or 322) into separate flags or sections, so as to allow for contraction and expansion, and thereby guard against cracking. The space made by the concrete cutter should be filled with dry sand and tamped. The wearing or surface coat consists of one part of best Portland cement, one part of crushed granite or slag grit, to be thoroughly mixed dry; then add enough water and thoroughly mix it to a stiff mortar. This should be placed on the concrete before it has had time to dry or become set. Spread this about one inch thick, conforming with the required grade, and after trow-eling suf¬ ficient to work the air out with the smoothing trowels (Figs. 347 to 349), the surface is levelled with the floats (Figs. 351% and 351 A). A dryer, or top dressing, of equal parts of seashore or flint sand and best Portland cement, thoroughly mixed, should be spread over the surface. The top dressing and wearing coat is now cut into blocks or flags with a top knife (Fig. 323), being careful to have the cuts conform with the cuts in the concrete. The cuts or joints between the flags are finished with the jointers (Figs. 323f to 331) according to the width of the joint desired. A curb tool (Fig. 340) of the desired radius should be used to round off all out¬ side edges of the work. Should a bevel edge be wmnted, use the bevel tool (Fig. 33814). To give the pavement a neat finish, and to also slightly roughen the sur¬ face and prevent slipping, giving a dotted appearance, roller (Fig. 317 or 3174) should be used. Should a tool-finished or bush-hammered effect be desired, the roller (Fig. 318) should be used. The ribbon roller (Fig. 319), and likewise the star roller add greatly to the appearance of the walk when finished. In order to get the best possible results, it is necessary to have the surface of the rollers kept perfectly clean. Using a rag saturated in kerosene oil from time to time will prevent small particles of cement on top dressing adhering to the roller. Should it be desirable, a handle of any length can be used on the rollers by means of the extension handle (Fig. 320). JOHN STORTZ & SON, PHIT.ADELPHIA, PA. 5{) After the pavement has been tooled with the roller, the name plate (Pig. 344|) or the letters (Fig. 345f) are set in place; or the name stamp (Figs. 345 to 345^) or the alphabet (Fig. 346) are pressed into the work as a lasting ad¬ vertisement. For driveways, stablework, etc., it is advisable to make the joints, or grooves of sufficient width, closeness, and depth to give a secure footing to horses, etc. For this purpose the driveway roller (Fig. 319%) and the groovers (Pigs. 332 to 336) have been designed. Should a corrugated surface be desired, the beading tool (Pig. 3444) will be found very useful. Where there is a large surface to be done, the impression frame (Fig. 3201) is the tool, as twelve heavy impressions are made at one time. For curbs of whatsoever kind the Curb Tool (Fig. 340), selected according to the radius desired, or Fig. 343 A or Pig. 343 B. For circles or corners of curbs, where the curb tool will not answer, the Radius Tool (Fig. 337) is required. For curbs or copings around steps, etc., the Residence Curb Tool (Fig. 341) is used. For copings around lawns, the finishing of the top of walls, etc., the Coping Tool (Pig. 342). For finishing the edges of steps or where square edges are needed, Step Edger (Fig. 339) or the Angle Trowels (Figs. 3494 to 350f), according to the shape of the angle required. To finish the nosing of the tread of steps use tool (Pig. 344 A or 344 B). Should the walk require a gutter to carry off the water, we recommend the use of the Gutter Tool (Fig. 343), as by its use a uniform and beautiful gutter will be produced with little labor. Foundation Broken stone, cinders, coarse gravel or sand. Concrete ] part of best Portland Cement. 2 parts of bar sand or gravel free from loam. 4 parts of stone or furnace slag, same to pass through a l-inch ring. The cement and sand or gravel in the specified proportions should be thor¬ oughly mixed dry until no streaks of cement are visible, and again thoroughly mixed after adding the water. Wearing or Surface Coat 1 part of best Portland Cement. 1 part of crushed granite or slag grit. Dryer or Top Dressing 1 part of best Portland Cement. ] part of seashore or flint sand. When a Special Color is Desired The following rule is recommended: Black—Use 2 per cent. Excelsior Carbon Black. Red—Use 10 per cent, best Raw Iron Oxide. Brown—Use 6 per cent, best Roasted Iron Oxide. Buff—Use 10 per cent, best Ochre. Blue—Use 6 per cent, best Ultramarine. White (as near as possible)—Use light shade cement and marble dust or white sand. The strength of work is not affected by coloring, if best Metallic Oxides, free from sulphur, are used. Never use Venetian Red or Lamp Black, as they run and fade.
