Barrier Hand Cream
The irritant action of cement on the skin is mainly due to its alkaline content, and is a potential cause of contact dermatitis in susceptible concrete workers and bricklayers. KERODEX No. 71 helps prevent contact with such industrial irritants. It is a barrier hand cream that is water-repellent, greaseless and stainless.
For information on KERODEX, write Special Products Department, Ayerst Laboratories, 685 Third Avenue, New York, N. Y. 10017, Available through industrial distributors.
Massey-Ferguson Crawler
Massey Ferguson introduces the MF 400 Crawler which features operator convenience, a powerful smooth-running six-cylinder engine and a fast loading cycle. Powered by a 85 h.p. Perkins diesel engine, the MP 400 is available as a crawler dozer or a crawler loader. Standard equipment includes foot-operated decelerator, hydraulic shuttle transmission and sealed tracks.
Expansion Joint Data
Flexible expansion joint sealing compounds campatible with corrosion resistant epoxy and polyester floor toppings are described in a technical bulletin available from The Ceilcote Co. Physical properties, chemical characteristics, and design data are included in the bulletin. Joint Design Table provides helpful information on joint spacing and recommended temperative ranges. Installation instructions are given in detail.
Two newly formulated compounds are described. Ceilcote EJ-3 is a pourable compound for use in horizontal joints, while EJ-4 is a trowel grade formulation for use on vertical and overhead surfaces. Both compounds are usable on monolithic or brick acid-proof floors, and can be used to seal cracks in concrete or junctions of concrete with other materials including steel, wood, plastics, ceramics, and brick.
Technical Bulletin 9-4 may be obtained from the Ceilcote Co., 140 Sheldon Rd., Berea, Ohio 44017.
Morgen Scaffolding
For the Georgetown Plaza Shopping Center in Georgetown, S. C., Pettit Construction Co., Spartanburg. S. C. set 9,000 8" block, 40,000 12" block and 17,000 utility brick in two months, employing 10 bricklayers on Morgen scaffolding 18 feet high and 250 feet long. The building will house a theatre, A & P and Edwards Department Store.
Lawrence Shelton, project manager, reports, "Eventually I think we'll be 100% on Morgen scaffolding. Though I can't furnish definite figures, we're convinced of three things one, it's cheaper because it saves labor, two, the masons lay more brick, because they work at an ideal level all the time, with no jumping around from one scaffolding to another, and three, because we don't have to move planks or material."
