PRODUCT Builders of Molds and Equipment for the 

 construction of Monolithic Silos. 



DESCRIPTION Monsco Molds are built very heavily of 

 16 g-a. black steel sheets in all standard sizes. The molds 

 are made in two sections, each 3 feet high, and each circle 

 is divided 



into segments , 



of convenient 

 size. The 

 molds are re- 

 inforced with 

 %" steel an- 

 gles and 

 channels 

 welded to the 

 sheets to in- 

 sure rigidity. 



The chute 

 form is an 

 integral part 

 of one of the 

 segments and 

 is adjusted to 

 proper position by means of transverse turnbuckles. 



With each equipment comes a scaffold-hoist and bucket. 

 The scaffold is raised at will by two cast-steel worm-geared 

 winches attached to the center mast. This equipment does 

 away with building false work of any kind. 



OPERATION The operation of Monsco Molds has been 

 so simplified to make it easy for even common labor. Each 

 mold is BO divided to make every segment convenient in size 

 and weight for easy handling and interchangable. Three 

 feet of wall is poured at a time. Six feet a day. Next day 

 the lower 3 foot section is released, raised and set ready for 

 pouring. This section clamps onto the lower three foot 

 section which is filled with concrete, set sufficiently to 

 eliminate the possibility of a wall fracture. The molds are
