p. 37 · Read in the full issue
A new roofing and walling material that should interest the owners of stores and buildings sub jected to rough use is now being produced by Messrs. John Lysaght (Australia), Ltd., at their Newcastle works.
Known as ‘Red Orb,” this material is a special galvanised, corrugated sheet of 26 gauge.
It is much more rigid than the ordinary “Orb” sheet, and will therefore carry heavier weights without bending or distortion, as well as with standing rougher handling and transit. It is distinguished from the ordinary sheet by its red brand.
The same firm have recently revised “The Referee,” their useful handbook for engineers, ironworkers, storekeepers, etc. It contains weights, measures, prices, and other information invaluable to anyone using or handling iron, pipe, and fittings, bars, rods, screws, bolts, nuts, rivets, and tools. Copies may be obtained post free at any of the offices of the company.
