By varying the speed of the motortruck and the size of the distributingnozzles in the manifold the quantity ofmaterial to be distributed may be regu-lated from one-half to two or more gal-lons per square yard of roadway. REINFORCEMENTFOR ROADS This product, manufactured by theRavenna Steel Co., is a reticulatedfabric produced in steel sheets that. have a mesh similar to that of ex-panded metal consisting of parallelo-grams in one plane that are bisectedby diametrical strips set into anotherplane and affording special anchoragefor the fabric in the mass of concrete. It is designed to strengthen the con-crete for flexure, contra flexure, andshear stresses and to distribute sur-face loads uniformly. It is intended for use on concreteroads, retaining walls, culverts, docks,foundations, floors, roofs and tanks. INDUSTRIAL NOTES The Keystone Concrete Block Co.,Rochester, N. has been appointedvicinity representative of the Consoli-dated Expanded Metal Co., of Braddock,Pa., for the distribution of steelcreteRid-gid, metal lath double-diamondroad reinforcement, and other specialties. William S. Moore, formerly city engi-need of South Bend. Ind., and CharlesW.
