The steel template shown in the accompanying illus-tration has been used with marked success in the con-struction of monolithic brick pavement in the state ofIllinois. The template is constructed of two 5-in. I-beams for the main members, rigidly connected eitherend by % by 4-in. iron plates, upon which the roller car-riers are mounted and adjusted. 120 The I-beams are bulldozed to conform to crown re-quirements or are carried flat,, as the case may be. Ontop of these beams are fastened light 4-in. [ irons tokeep any material from overflowing during the move-ment of the template. The carrier rollers are machinedand packed in hard oil and need oiling only
