Sz’ CollieryBuildings

No more unsightly buildings

The nature of the ground in colliery districts necessitates a light

'''’AC-



weight type of building. On

account of ground trouble many unsightly structures of timber and corrugated iron have been erected.
There is no longer any need for this. A building erected with Hy-Rib and structural steel not only

the desired lightness, but is far more attractive in appearance.

Hy-Rib is a Ribbed Steel Lath which needs supports at I Oft. centres only, and
readily takes 2 in. of cement plaster. Its use ensures the most rapid permanent con-
struction possible, the building costs little or nothing for maintenance and is superior in

every way to the usual type of building.

Illustration shows the Sharlston Colliery Co. s Pit Head Buildings,

erected on this principle.
