Highrise Patent Scaffolds
Equipment made by Patent Scaffolding Co., New York, plays a prominent role in the construction of the new Meadowbrook Hospital, East Meadow, L.I., N.Y. Masons for Castagna & Son lay up brick on the facade of $28-million, 19 story building. Roof-mounted benchwork erected from Patent Scaffolding 20K® Shoring Frames, support the outrigger I-beams from which a combination of 5' wide and 8' wide Gold Medal Suspended Scaffolds are hung. Both types of scaffolds also manufactured by the Patent Scaffolding Co. were required to accommodate irregular-shaped facade.
Portable Sanitary Units
For use on construction jobs, a new sanitary unit can be easily transported to the site and is ready for use with no assembly necessary. Called Poly-Jon's, the well-vented units are molded from a tough, glass fiber-reinforced Chemplex polyethylene. Color is molded in, painting is never required, and the surface resists attempts to write on it.
The units are readily cleaned over-all by hosing down, they do not absorb odor, and are not attacked by insects or rodents. The 45-gal. tank is cast in one piece and has a molded-in seat.
The Poly-Jon weighs 200 lb. and is equipped with brackets for crane lifting, although it can be handled manually on and off low-bed trucks.

Ceramic Glazed Tile
Arketex Ceramic Corporation of Brazil, Indiana has introduced a new ceramic glazed structural tile to the industry. Classed as a Budget Buster, their new "Double T" unit retains the appearance of a 5" x 12" unit when installed but is actually 10½" x 12" with a blind keyed joint. Tested by contractors, the "Double T produced savings in labor/ time of 20% to 30%, yet works with all standard 6T service units. Available in all standard colors, with 4" one face stretcher and smooth unglazed back or 4" two faced stretcher, the "Double T will undoubtedly prove an asset to the contractor and architect.
