F. Reynolds and Co. Furnishes Automatic Equipment Con- trolled by Thermostat ONVERTED to the belief that an oil burning system would prove best in the new publishing plant, Lloyd Hollister Inc., let the oil burning equip- ment contract to B. F. Reynolds and company of Chicago and results have justified the choice. The equipment is completely auto- matic in operation, a thermostat being located on the second floor, which may be set at any desired temperature. A nozzle of the air atomizing type is placed at the rear of the Simplex boiler, firing toward the front, thus giving the longest possible travel for the hot gases and using the entire heating sur- face of the boiler to best advantage. Air and oil supply for the nozzle is furnished by a motor driven combina- tion air compressor and air pump unit. Ignition of the oil is by combination electric and gas pilot light, the gas being used only at the time of starting. A low water safety is also provided which prevents operation of the burner if the water in the boiler is below proper level. When the temperature in the room drops to the point at which the ther- mostat is set, the burner is automati- cally started. When the temperature has been raised to the desired point the burner automatically shuts down. The system with its full automatic controls represents the best modern practice in oil burning. All Tile Surfaces of Building Given Heavy Tar Coating N the construction of the new Lloyd Hollister Inc., plant the tarring of all tile wall surfaces, the lathing and the plastering were important. Charles E. Welter of 115 Fifteenth street, Wilmette, handled this job in a satisfactory manner. In order to prevent any possibility of these tile walls sweating or of moisture seeping through, the entire tile surface was coated with R. I. W, water-proof tar. Over this was then placed an expanded metal lathing and the regular plaster surface. The partitions of the building were constructed of a plaster composition hollow tile, Prv-a-bar, manufactured by the United States Gypsum Co., and the plaster was spread directly over the surface in this instance. The walls of the shop sections were coated with white sand plaster. The materials used in the new build- ing were: --9 tons of U. S. Gypsum ground coat, 32 yards of plaster, num- ber 1 torpedo sand, 5 tons of lime, 3 tons of plaster of paris, 30 gallons of R. I. W. water-proof tar, 1,000 feet of expanded metal corner beads and 1,000 feet of metal base screed. Steel Lintels Used in Door and Window Openings of Plant HE construction of a building of the fine type of Lloyd Hollister Inc., calls for the use of much steel. This steel must be of various kinds. For instance structural steel lintels of standard fabrications were needed for the window and door openings. The Federal Iron Works of Chicago was selected to furnish these. The amount of structural steel lintels used weighed seven tons. The Federal Iron Works has a branch office in Evanston at 1622 Maple avenue.
