MIXING BUCKET
PORTABLE mixing unit can be quickly attached to the hydraulic system of other machinery. Mixing drum is tilted forward for direct loading from a pile of aggregate. Unit is tilted upright for mixing, and tilted forward for dumping. Bucket is available in two sizes, 8 cubic feet and 13.5 cubic feet. Port-A-Mix, Box 359, Kokomo, IN 46903.
MOISTURE BARRIER
LIGHTWEIGHT and durable fabric flashing that creates a permanent moisture barrier is ideal for use in highly insulated veneer wall systems which tend to cause accelerated corrosion of masonry ties and metal systems. Flexible and easy to handle, low in cost and durable, the fabric resists the caustics and alkalies found in concrete and mortar and ensures positive weeps for proper condensation. Dur-O-Wal, 3115-A North Wilke Road, Arlington Heights, IL 60004.
MASONRY MUFFLERS
SOUND absorbing masonry units work like a car muffler. They absorb sound using the Helmholtz principle. The closed-end cavities of the different sized units resonate to sound waves of various frequencies and convert them harmlessly to heat. Trenwyth Industries, One Connelly Road, Box 438, Emigsille, PA 17318.
COMPACT WASHER
ELECTRIC pressure washer weighs only sixty pounds, transports and stows easily. Compact unit is powered by a 110 volt, 13 amp draw 1.5 hp electric motor producing 1,000 psi. Washer is furnished with a trigger gun and twenty-five feet of high pressure hose. Northeast Industries, 300 Greenwood Avenue, Midland Park, NJ 07432.
POWER ON DEMAND POWER PACK
HYDRAULIC power pack with automatic power-on-demand throttle control saves fuel and increases operating time.

Selectable flow feature allows settings of 0 to 10 gallons per minute. Partner Industrial Products, 905 West Irving Park Road, Itasca, IL 60143.
HIGH PRESSURE COLD-HOT-STEAM WASHERS
HIGH pressure cold-hot-steam washers are durably constructed of impact and corrosion resistant materials, and incorporate a ninety percent full efficient burner system for maximum fuel savings. Features include machine shutoff at the trigger gun, infinitely variable water volume, operating pressure, temperature control and chemical metering. Alfred Karcher, Box 778, Browertown Road, West Paterson, NJ 07424.
MOISTURE BARRIER
LONG lasting, lightweight, durable fabric flashing that creates a permanent moisture barrier is ideal for use in highly insulated veneer wall systems which tend to cause accelerated corrosion of masonry ties and metal stud systems. Flashing resists the caustics and alkalies found in mortar and concrete, and ensures positive weeps for proper condensation. Masonry Reinforcing, 400 Roundtree Road, Charlotte, NC 28224.
