This illustration (taken direct from a photograph) shows the construction adopted by us for heavy floors in Pulp and Paper Mills, Machine Shops, Elevators, etc., where the floor loads are very exces¬ sive. Heavy Iron Girders supported by Iron Posts extend across the building carrying the floor joist. To support the ends of these girders, we often use iron posts placed in the brick side walls. Where loads are excessive and the width of the building is extreme, this construc¬ tion particularly commends itself. The above illustration shows our regular pattern of Double thickness Corrugated iron shutters, composed of two plates of corrugated iron (with corrugations running at right angles to each other) built into a heavy angle iron frame, thoroughly sup¬ ported by bands, flanges, hinges and latch bars, forming a fire proof shutter which will not warp twist or bend when exposed to the’most severe heats. We are prepared to furnish Corrugated Iron, painted both sides, all sizes and gauges. Our Oil Finished Corrugated Iron is superior in lasting qualities to any in the market.
