New M&M Plonking Treolment

Toasted V grooves are the latest in simulating planking in plywood panels. M and M Wood Working Company rolls in the grooves under heat and pressure, leaving a clean, smooth dark division at random widths. Formerly planking was simulated by a sawn groove. The new method adds a distinct richness and quality to redwood and fir plywood panels and a finished look which cannot be obtained any other way, the Malarkey concern says. Samples of the new panels were pre-tested for public opinion in the Malarkey Gallery of Modern Woods (a public exhibit) and were by far the most popular of 13 plywood surfaces shown, it was recorded. Grooves are on 16-inch centers so that if panels are to be nailed up they may be fastened through the grooves and thus be invisible.

Wedge Tighrens Timber Joints

Nothing fits so quickly, so tightly, as a wedge ! So, in order to obtain tighter-fitting joints in wood roof trusses, more qui.ckly, the wedge principle has been incorporated in the Teco "wedgefit" split-ring timber connectors, developed by Timber Engineering Company, research affiliate of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, in Washington, D.C. Wide-spread use of the connector in light and heavy construction throughout the nation has established distinct advantages of the double-beveled, wedge-shaped edges of the present Teco ring over the single-beveled edges of its predecessor. Fitting precisely in conforming grooves, cut with the precision-built Teco grooving tool in adjacent faces of joint members, the improved ring slips into position easily and quickly, without crushing the wood fibers at the groove's edge. This permits faster assembly of timber trusses, resulting in time and labor savings. Because of their wedge shape, there is less than 1/3?-inch clearance between the ring and the groove, producing tighter joints that minimize truss deflection.
