Visitors' buildings. Another view of one of twin overlook buildings shown on K 1986. Structures are lightweight because they were placed on a relatively recent fill. Walls and partitions are of three inch by three inch studs, steel were exposed and wood otherwise, covered by asbestos panels on a modular spacing. Window, door, and solid panels are interchangeable

Guntersville Dam and powerhouse. Generator hall. Roof is supported by trusses with arched bottom chords, concealed by ceiling made up of asbestos boards on steel furring. Ceiling also serves as insulation and plenum chamber and permits recessing of highbay reflectors which are louvered at bottom to eliminate glare. These reflectors furnish the main working light and throw the generators upon which they are concentrated into strong relief; general illumination of the space comes from indirect reflectors concealed behind the crane relief and turned towards the ceiling. Floor is ceramic tile; wall, glazed structural tile up to ceiling, but of lighter color above crane rail

Experts at Bureau of Standards study effect of corrosive soils on specimens of pipe. Washington, D.C., Aug. 8. Of interest to home builders the country over is the study being made by experts at the National Bureau of Standards of the effect of corrosive soils on pipes and protective materials. Samples of pipe which have been buried for four years in fifteen soils differing widely in their characteristics, are being tested. Included are several varieties of ferrous materials as well as copper, brass, and bronze. Soldered and brazed joints, protective materials, and pipe made of a composition of cement and asbestos are also represented. Walter Johnson, of the Bureau, is pictured removing graphitic corrosion from cast iron with an air-driven tool. The corrosion products are too hard to be removed with a brush or by chemical treatment, 8/8/38

Defense housing, Erie, Pennsylvania. Pre-fabricated sheets of asbestos reinforced with gypsum serve as an economical base for plaster walls and ceilings. These sheets, nailed directly to studs, also afford protection against heat and cold. A crew of fourteen men (ten lathers and four laborers) can lathe a four-unit building in a few hours. A crew of plasters moves in as the crew of lathers moves out.

Government inspectors keep a rigid check to see that all construction materials live up to government standards

Transformer manufacture. It's a formidable task, but Jack Hassel can wind one of these asbestos insulated low volts coils in a day. Essential to America's war efforts, these asbestos coils are used in air cooled transformers which are explosion-proof, hence advantageous for use in ships, mines and large buildings.

Production. Magnesium. Enormous asbestos mittens must be worn by men handling the thousands of hot magnesium ingots produced daily at Basic Magnesium's giant plant in the southern Nevada desert. A number of units of this plant are now in production. Full operation is scheduled for the summer of 1943
