January 7, 1916. THE COLLIERY GUARDIAN. 11 Proved by Test. 2 CWT 2 CWT 2 CWT A 42 in. wide “ Everite ” Sheet laid on purlins spaced 2 ft. 6 in. apart, with the weight concentrated on an area of 51 in. by 5 J in. in the centre, supported a weight of 800 lb. without showing any indication of cracking or strain. With the weight distributed over the whole sheet, THE BREAKING LOAD WAS OVER 15 CWT. The above Test clearly proved the strength of CORRUGATED SHEETING A scientific combination of Asbestos Fibre and highest grade Portland Cement, a material which by its nature is proof against Fire, Water, Frost, Rust and every other destructive and corrosive agency. Hardens & toughens with age. Not a particle of it can perish. Its powers of resistance and endurance increase with exposure. It withstands vibration of any force, and is unaffected by gases and chemical fumes, and is absolutely fireproof. Its first cost is its only cost — needs no repairs—so that, per year of service, it is the least ex- pensive building material known. Trade Mark Asbestos Cement is the Safest Building Material — Absolutely Fireproof ! The Government is using it exclusively / for all new Munitions Factories. “EVERITE 99 is made in One Homogeneous Mass—not in thin layers cemented together, which are extremely liable to disintegrate with exposure. Made to British Standard 3-inch Pitch in even foot lengths from 4 ft. to 10 ft., and in 3 widths, 21 in., 30 in. and 42 in. This reduces the waste in laps by approximately 50 per cent., whilst there is an obvious saving of labour in handling larger sheets. With prices 25 per cent, less than competitors, “Everite” is at once the cheapest as well as the most efficient Corrugated Roofing extant.
