P. O. Bor 1865, Phoenir Telephonc 96811 no movement or creeping is allowed in the horizontal direction while sufficient free action is allowed vertically. Because of this, not only does the system act as an insulator, but gives the floor a resiliency or softness which is highly desirable. Because the sleepers are supported continuously, there is no sagging under heavy furniture or piano loads.

Balsam-Wool Sound Insulation Clips are sold as an individual unit, cartoned in packages sufficient to treat approximately 1,000 square feet of area. Balsam-Wool Sound Insulation is not shipped as part of the unit. It is available 33 inches wid.e, 7/z inch thick-packaged in rolls. Standard Balsam-Woolin I inch and 1 inch thicknesses may be used as a sound deadener with this system'

5o""Ji"""f"tio"n Ctipin ploce in stqnd- This s y s tem, the crd wood floor construction. manufacturers state, is easy to apply, economical and efficient. Tests by impartial laboratories report that the Balsam-Wool Sound Insulation System installed over a typical floor construction (rvood sub-floors, joists with metal lath and plaster on underside) results in a sound transmission reduction of 50 decibels.

A11 that is needed for complete installation is BalsamWool, Balsam-Wool Clips and wood strips. The BalsamWool is placed over the area to be insulated-acting as a stop or absorption agent against noise that would ordinarily pass through the wall, floor or ceiling.

Balsam-Wool Clips are then fastened at intervals of 24 inches on the underside of sleepers at right angles. This clip unit consists of a flat piece of spring steel and four nails. Two of these nails hold the spring steel clip to the sleeper, and the other two, cushioned in felt washers, fasten the sleeper to the floor, wall or ceiling. The interior finish is then nailed to the top of the sleepers.

Because of the special design of the Balsam-Wool Clips,

P. A. Ward, general sales manager, in announcing this new system stated, "This new patented system, we feel, opens a new broad market to lumber dealers throughout the country. Because of its simplicity and efifrciency, the system is as well adapted to use in small towns as it is in metropolitan areas for large structures. It does not require expert mechanics and can be installed quickly by following a few simple printed instructions ftrrnished with the units'" Complete information is available from the Wood Conversion Company, Saint Paul, Minnesota.
