FIGURE 20. STE.ELCRETE "A" AND " B " LATH. 



For certain interior 

 work it it desirable to 

 use at little mortar a* 

 possible. For this pur- 

 pose the openings must 

 be small and the lath 

 itself must be thin. In 

 such cases there is 

 nothing better than our 

 Steelcrete Diamond 

 lathe illustrated by 

 Figure N 0.21. As pre- 

 viously stated, it is im- 

 gossible to plaster 

 teelcrete Expanded 

 Metal Lath without 

 securing a perfect key 

 with sufficient mortar on the reverse side 

 to make this a certainty. The Steelcrete 

 Diamond Laths are also particularly 

 adopted for ornamental furring. 



In writing specifications it is desirable 

 to be explicit and concise. To state the 

 guage is not sufficient, as the strands might 

 be of varying width. It is therefore nec- 

 essary to give the weight of the finished 

 product per square yard as well as the guage. 

 Specify as follows : The metal lath shall 

 be Steelcrete Diamond No. 24F guage 

 weighing 3.57 pounds per square yard. 



For method of applying lath see specifi- 

 cations on pages 98 and 99. 



Order lath by the full "designation" 

 as given in table herewith, giving the 

 number of square yards or bundles required.
