266 Miscellaneous Implements Exhibited at Norioich, 1911. 



Messrs. Boulton & Paul, Ltd., Norwich, had a large and 

 varied exhibit. At Stand No. 261 they erected an excellent 

 example of their portable buildings. The exterior was 

 Elizabethan, rough cast, with the interior tastefully treated 

 to represent old plaster and half timber work. The building 

 was suitable for a workmen's clul), village hall, or billiard 

 room. It would equally serve as a cottage bungalow for 

 seaside or river, estate office, or entrance lodge. 



A very handsome conservatory was also shown, together 

 with a large display of heating appliances. There were two 

 open air shelters, especially designed for use in medical 

 treatment, but they could be used also as summer houses. 

 An assortment of garden seats and vases completed a very 

 attractive exhibit. 



It may be mentioned here, that the well appointed little 

 hospital ward, in which there were a number of interesting 

 medical exhibits, was built and lent to the Norfolk and Norwich 

 Hospital by Messrs. Boulton & Paul. 



The exhibit of the Associated Portland Cement Manu- 

 facturers (1900) Ltd., Stand No. 264, attracted a great deal 

 of attention, as the various articles shown were such as are 

 in general use on estates and farms, and were exhibited to show 

 what could be done with Portland cement. 



Reinforced concrete for the last few years has been used 

 for almost every conceivable purpose, and as its strength and 

 durability is beyond question, there is no reason why its use 

 should not become general on all estates. 



The sta"nd was surrounded on two sides by wire fencing 

 fixed to concrete posts, the cost of which, including posts 

 spaced 12 ft. apart, straining posts, struts, plates for the 

 feet of struts, five lines of 7-ply wire with the requisite 

 strainers, and the labour for erection, was said to be only 

 Is. 2d. per yard run. It was stated that the cost of these posts 

 was very little more than that of w^ooden ones, while they 

 are practically everlasting. The wires pass through holes in 

 the centre of the posts, so that there are no staples to come 

 adrift, and the renewing of wires is a simple matter. A third 

 side of the stand was enclosed by concrete post and rail fencing, 

 which is eminently suited for cattle pens, stud paddocks, &c., 

 on account of its strength, durability, and cleanliness. The 

 fourth side was enclosed by concrete blocks which had lieen 

 made in the Winget machine. 



On the stand were shown concrete fence posts costing 

 In. 9(7. each, gate posts 'M. lOd. eacli, a rectangular cattle trough 

 of 110 gallons capacity, which cost lor all materials and lal)OUi- 

 only U.S. 2d. A circular trough to hold 120 j^llons, which 

 cost 9s., a small hog trough, a chicken ^trough, tiles for floors,
