New Truss lVlonufqcluring Prccess

Clary's Construction Automation Division has announced the introduction of what is claimed to be the first "Standardized Truss Manufacturing Process.t' Called the MasterCraft Method, company officials say it reduces skill requirements, reduces plate cost by approximately 10Vo, reduces per truss production time, and helps relieve the truss manufacturer's dependency on plate companies for engineering service.

Major working ingredients are copyrighted specifications that give set-up instructions for the equipment which produees precise member angles and lengths for cornmon truss types, pitches and spans a selective combination of Clary Flexible Automation Equipment to cut, convey and assemble plant layout, personnel training, and follow-up engineering: services.

Company officials say you can own or lease an entire package for approximately $15.50 per day, figuring 21 working days per month over 3 years, including financing charges. This figures a little less than $2.00 per hour on an 8-hour day. Clary executives say the Master-Craft Method, termed "futuristic" in winning an industrywide "better ways to build" contest two years ag:o, represents a significant breakthrough in bringing modern, scientific cost and qualiW control to truss manufaeturing.

Wood Beqm Suspended Ceiling

Wood Beam, a new type of susPended ceiling system with the look of ,an authentic open beamed ceiling, has been announced by the Armstrong Cork Co.

In the Wood Beam System, the exposed beams are actually an integral part of t}le gl:ld system supporting the ceiling panels. This eliminates the need for "snap-on" ceiling beam attachments which require additional installation time and extra expense.

Made from heavy gauge steel, the beams are lithographed with a realistic natural wood grain and extend 2" below the surface of the ceiling.

The Wood Beam suspension members are available in 12' main runners and 4' cross tees which can tre installed in various combinations to create unique, custom ceiling designs. White cross tees in both 2' and 4' length and a wall molding in matching white can be used in combination with the Wood Beam elements.

According to J. O. Sampson, manag'er of lumber dealer sales for Armstrong, consumers have been buying suspended ceilings primarily for their practieal advantages: immediate access to utilities above the ceiling, fast installation, recessed lighting through luminous panels. The added decorative appeal of the open beam design should provide another inducement for customers to purchase suspended ceilings.

Prcducts for Blocktop Surfoces

Consolidated Paint & Varnish Corp., Cleveland, Ohio, announces a complete program of five maintenance products for sealing and repairing blacktop surfaces designed for industrial, commercial and institutional use. These products are:

Greeskuta dry powder which cuts grease and oil slick quickly and easily.

Kold Seala rubberized elastic sealing compound in emulsion form for filling cracks and expansion joints. It is poured cold just as it comes from the container. It furnishes an elastic filler that "gives,', with expansion or contraction or under heavy Ioads, thus sealing out dirt, water and air.

Pave-Oa patching material for chuck holes that is easily applied by unskilled labor on wet, cold surfaces in any weather. Pave-O is merely shoveled into the hole and is then tamped down.

Attractive, Profitable Counter Display Pak (D-100) has been designed to become an attractive addition to a dealer's free counter sales center-simply by removing it from its carton.

Emphasis of the Wood Finising Center and the billboard text is on the unique 5-in-1 properties of Watco Danish Oil Finishwhich primes, seals, finishes, preserves and hardens in a single process.

The original deep penetrating oil has the unique ability to seep down into the pores of any dornestic or exotic wood-and then "polymerize" or change from a liquid to a permanent solid. This makes the wood 2E7o harder-extending its life and grain and color characteristics indefinitely.

The Wood Finishing Center includes gal!9n, quart, pint and half-pint sampleJ of Watco Danish Oil Finish, Watco Saiin Oil, and Watco Satin Wax (both dark and natural) for fine furniture, paneling, cabinets, doors, interior woodwork and numerous other applications.

-The Walco Display Pak has a total ship- ping weight of 55 pounds and is available to dealers at a total cost of $56,25. accord- ing to Lewis Dietrich, vice president and sales manager of Watco-Dennis Corp.

Dietrich described the Wood Finishing Center as "an unusual sales tool which, combines versatility with simplicity and attractiveness of design.',

For Sealing, Repairing Blacktop Surfaces

Petroseal is applied by brush, squeegee, or spray, over surface that has been cleaned with Greeskut and after preparatory repairs have been made with Kold Seal and Pave-O.

Black Kote-does the same job as Petroseal but does not protect against gasoline spillage. It is a gilsonite base sealer which dries quickly to a jet black gloss finish and, like Petroseal, is easy to apply by brush, squeegee, or spray.

Window Cleoner lodder

A unique aluminum ladder-The Window Cleaner-has been developed for jobs that require both height and mobilitY.

The ladder can be used to reach virtually any height, but breaks down quickly and easily into six-foot sections.

The Window Cleaner utilizes a dowel-ingroove method of fitting the ladder sections tightly together. All rails are grooved, top and bottom. The rails at the top of each section slide snugly inside the rails at the bottom of the next section. The grooves in the rails grip the rung.

The result is a fitting that can be ta.ken apart quickly, yet provides rigidity comparable to that of a single-unit ladder.

The top section of the window cleaner is equipped with a corner holder on both sides. The ladder is always ready for use, whichever way it happens to be turned.

The Window Cleaner weighs approxi- mately one lb. per foot and utilizes exclusive Lock-hoof rungs to prevent slippage. The bottom section is equipped with MetalLite shoes.

The Window Cleaner is priced at 980.00 per section list for the top section and $26.25 per section list for tfie bottom sec- tions, 922.50 per section for the middle section.
