 graphite paint, ground with pure linseed oil, or such paint as 

 may be specified in the contract. 



140. After the structure is erected, the iron work shall 

 be thoroughly and evenly painted with two additional coats of

 the material is made. 



143. The contractor shall furnish, without charge, such 

 specimens (prepared) of the several kinds of material to be
