The war demonstration hospital : its plan and construction . -ings are used. Connecting corridors at a base hospitalwould naturally not be closed, and in mostcases would not be covered, but the slatwalk connecting all buildings by inclinesand without steps should always bepresent. The portable ice machine installed in thetemporary hospital is, as has been said,like those which are being shipped abroadfor use in base hospitals. Ice for fieldhospitals would doubtless be distributedfrom a base rather than manufactured onthe spot. The electric installation would of course be the same for the lield as forthe base hospital, including X-Rayequipment. Time ofCoiistrurlion The erection of the Rockefeller Hos-pital was commenced on June 1st, andthe buildings completed ready for occu-pancy by July 13th. This result wasachieved in six weeks due to the intelli-gent handling of the work by the generalcontractors, and the hearty co-operationof each and every trade employed onthe work. The record shows how quicklythis form of construction can behandled. [ 22 ]. Manujoctutta eyAYLORD BROS. , N. , Calif.
