Committee Hails Research Results

per Shreachizy improvements are ng made in brick, tile nd cement, according to the Construction ‘Industry Information| Committee. In a current report, the committee points out that with the, ald of studies at leading techni-| cal institutions, the clay products] industry has produced glazed fac-| ing tile which presents a finished | - surface and has’ produced pre: | {cast tile and concrete beams which provide fire-resistant floors. Recent research projects have studied the development of lightweight brick and tile, methods of improving the bond between clay products and. the mortar used in| assembling them, and means of | attaining greater uniformity in| the size of bricks. Prevents Damage Research in cement and concrete has developed ways of 'preventing damage to concrete pavements when chemicals are used to melt ice and snow, as well as effective methods of cooling huge masses of concrete so as to prevent cracking. Other research has demonstrated that cracking can be pre- - {vented in some cases by using] small pieces of ice in place of part of the water, The amount of cement required in certain types of construction has been reduced as much as 40] per cent by research which makes | it possible to replace part of the cement with powdered sand and rock. ‘ ; Develop ‘Fast’ Concrete This same process also produces a concrete mix with greater «| plasticity, which makes the mix flow more easily through chutes and into the forms.

Glass Fiber Used in

Weather-Stripping By KAY SHERWOOD NEA Staff Writer A battery of new labor-savers promises to help Mrs, America ‘put her house in snug "and shinling ‘order before-the first chill winds of autumn blow. Thanks to new glass fiber weather-stripping, for example, Mrs. A. can plug up cracks around windows, "doors and baseboards implemented by only a kitchen knife. ; In this weather-stripping, glass fibers are pressed together into a soft, pliable half-inch wide rope. All Mrs. A. needs to do in order to seal up a crack is to push the rope in place with the back of a knife, The glass strip is’ impervious to moisture, cannot rot and offers no food to pests.

ment floors of a basement, porch or. garage with a minimum of muss ‘and effort is the job assigned to another newcomer.

in a 20-pound bag, which is sufficient for many minor repairs, needs only the addition of water and a stirring stick and it is set for patchswork. .. . On her round of pre-autumn repairs, Mr. A. can take the squeak out of stairways. or beds,

table rungs with one small bottle of a resinous chemical preparation. A few drops of this liquid is squirted into a wood joint o socket with an ollcan or eyedropper or it may be applied with the sponge applicator in the bottle. * The liquid swells up wood fibers, locking the squeaky stair

tread or rung securely into id

ocket.

With a miniature electric buf-|
