Fiberglos Reinforced Builr-up R'oofs

AftJr eight years of experimental use on the West Coast and at selected localities in the rest of the nation. Fiberglas Reinforced Built-Up Roofs now are being promoted throughout the United States by Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation as a completely new innovation in roof construction. On a Fiberglas Built-Up Roof, porous sheets of fibrous glass called Fiberglas Perma-Ply No. 6 are used in place of the conventional roofing felts with the result that the reinforcing reduces roofing failure and helps cut down on costly repairs by decreasing cracking or "alligatoring."

New Wind-resistqnr Aspholr Shingles

New York-Seal-O-Matic is the name of a new asphalt roof shingle which seals itself dorvn automatically. Each shingle is firmly bonded to the one belo.n'. The holding power, during storms, is so strong it provides bull-dog resistance to driving rains and high rvinds.

Seal-O-Matic shingles are a new and patented JohnsManville development. These new asphalt shingles are of the L2 in. by 36 in. strip type with three square cut butts. They are available in a range of blends and solid colors.

The Seal-O-Matic feature is a ribbon of petroleum resin adhesive that is factory applied. The ribbon of this special adhesive is fi in. rvide. It is on the back side of the shingle about 3,/8 in. up from the edge of the butt. This adhesive is hard and brittle at normal temperatures. But, after application and exposure to the sun's heat, the adhesive softens and merges with the shingle below. In this way, the exposed shingle butts are continuously welded to the underlying shingles. Under the most severe rveather conditions not a tab lifts, not a drop leaks through.

In the bundle, when delivered to the job, the shingles are arranged in pairs. Two shingles are packed back to back

Gerlinger "H" Series Added ro Gompony's Extensive Line

The Gerlinger "H" Series fork-lift trucks, available in 32,000-1b., 36,000-1b. and 40,0001b. capacities, are the newest addition to the extension standard line of materials-handling equipment manufactured by Gerlinger Carrier Company, Dallas, Oregon, according to V. O. Williams, general manager of the 37-year-old firm.

Log operators, using the nerv methods of logging that are attracting world-rvide attention, find the revolutionary Gerlinger "H" job-tested to meet their particular needs. The California Timber Company, Healdsburg, for example, uses two H-32's to unload, handle, deck and feed logs to the mill without the use of a pond (above). In straight lumber operations, a full kiln load-too unrvieldy for singleload handling with other equipment-is possible in every "lI" payload. This advanced equipment promises important economies for steel and concrete pipe, in anything that handles more profitably in oversize loads. Williams points out that there is no sacrificing of the famous Gerlinger maneuverability for all of the giant size of the H-32, H-36 or H-40.

Full details and specifications are available, rvithout obligation, from Gerlinger Carrier Company, Dept. TP, Dallas, Oregon.

so that the petroleum resin adhesive on one shingle sticks to the adhesive of the other. When applying, the mechanic, with a slight snap, separates the two shingles and equal amounts of the sealing adhesive are left on each shingle.

Seal-O-Matic shingles are nailed in the normal manner, and four nails per strip are recommended.

These new J-M Asphalt Shingles were first introduced in the high wind sections of the middle-west. and the hurricane areas of the east. They have proved so satisfactory, Johns-Manville is now manufacturing them for the Pacific Coast at Los Angeles and pittsburg, California.
