Aluminum Filler Panel

The major advantage of the Lima Aluminum Filler Panel for T-bar ceiling installations is that the installer does not have to cut or fit the diffuser into the ceiling tile himself, according to Lima Register Co.

Instead, he can order a diffuser or grille already centered and mounted in an anodized filler Panel made to fit the T-Bar spacings. Then, all he has to do is remove the entire block and replace it with the factory-assembled filler panel and diffuser to save ttme and insure a neat "no-sag" installation.

Anodized to match Lima aluminum diffusers, it can be used with anY directional ceiling diffuser or series 90 diffusers and grilles including curved blade diffusers, fixed deflection returns and filter grilles.

Hardwoods To The Rescue

(Continued from Page 12 ) technical problems in separating the basic components of wood (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin) and in converting cellulose to glucose (which could be the source for many derivative products such as adhesives, resins, and industrial sugars).

/5 ) More Hardwood in PaPer

Pulp and paper manufacture annually consume 4OVo-50% of the wood harvested in the United States. In l9'70, 37 million cords of softwoods and almost 14 million cords of hardwoods were consumed for pulpwood. In addition, large volumes of less-than-sawtimber-size trees and of sawmill and veneer mill bYproducts were used for PulP.

Hardwoods can meet more of this demand. Presently, only 26% of all the wood used for PulP is hardwood. Research could increase the hardwood portion to 35%, and change the composition of linerboard from 95% softwood to 1OO% hardwood.

To these ends, research is ProPosed in the following areas: improved pretreatments and fiberization methods for mechanical and semichemical pulping of hardwoods; optimization of the kraft pulping process; stock preparation and sheet formation methods for both short- and long-fibered species; and methods for handling contaminants which now damage mi-ll equipment when whole-tree chips are pulped.

In summarY, although the hardwood timber supply is increasing at a faster rate than that of softwood timber, present use of hardwoods is limited because of a shortfall in hardwood utilization technology. An ongoing vital research and development orosiam can provide the means for incieased effiiiencv in the use of hardwoods and therebY contribute to meeting our nation's material needs. The forest, a major renewable material resource, can have a positive effect on the economY and well being of this country if it is used wisely and completelY.
