The usual waterproofing practice of sticking each strip to its neighborby lapping at least 1 inch was followed in making up each ply. The writerbelieves that a better result will be obtained, however, if this butt lap (socalled) be made 2 inches wide. The system of shingling adopted keeps the shingle at the headof the work with all six plies in evidence, and with all sheets securelystuck, as shown in Figure 1. Thus the waterproof sheet is entirely com-pleted back of the shingle lap, and may be covered and permanently pro-tected up to the lap. By this method there is little difficulty in obtainingthe correct number of plie
