Architect and engineer . ^t OHIO BANK BUILDING AT TOLEDO^t Mills, Rhincs, Ballman and Nordhotf, Archilccls J \^ Architects Adopt This PositiveMethod oF Insuring Great Facades THE Cowing Joint is installed in the col-umns and weight carrying mullions at amortar course. Its purpose is to relieve pres-sure thrown on the facing material by com-pression of steel, temperature changes,vibration and wind stresses. Experience hasproved that these severe stresses, unlessrelieved, will crush and break the stone,terra cotta or marble. Where the Cowing Joint is installed ateach story height the building is completelyinsured against cracks and spalls, the mortarjoints are protected from crushing and themaintenance cost of tuck-pointing is elimi-nated. The facade is in no manner weakenedbecause the Cowing Joint carries the normalweight of the facing material and compressesonly enough to relieve the stress.
