oiled surface Is then turned under four
inches deep with turning pillow. Up
to this point the process does not ma
terially differ from that in general use
where careful work Is done in mixing
the oil with the soil. But the next
step is radical departure and marks
the beginning of new era in road
construction. =
The process next succeeding this in
the common practice Of road oiling Is
the rolling of the road, which brushes
down a thin scum on the surface that
later scales off and leaves the road full
Of chuck holes. But with this new sys-
tenn the next process is one of tamping
A cylinder about ten feet long and six
feet in diameter, weighing about 5000
pounds and furnished with rows Of
fat headed teeth, Is hauled back and
forth slowly, tamping the oiled earth
up from the bottom to within two
inches of the top. When the tamper
first goes over the road it sinks the
teeth, which are six inches long, their
whole length in the soft, oily earth,
but by each rolling or tamping new
layer of solid asphalt is plastered on
the bottom, and the cylinder rises
little out of the mass until, when the
tamping is completed, the mixture is so
solid that the teeth no longer sink in.
There is vast difference between
merely crushing the surface of an oiled
road with a, roller and tamping six
inches of oil from the bottom up. That
difference means greater endurance for
the tamped road.
When the tamping is brought to with
in two inches of the top the road is re-
graded, and the last two inches Of loose
surface soil are cultivated and given
another gallon of oil to the square yard.
This makes three gallons to the square
yard. all applied warm, so as to sprin-
kle freely; again the cultivator and
then the tamper, this time worked until
it reaches the surface. When the lamp
ing is done the surface is little I'M
even from the marks of the teeth, but
that is taken out by roller weighing
two tons per twelve inches Of tire. A
more perfect surface can be obtained
by slight sprinkling of gravel before
the roller is used
This work costs about 16 cents per
square yara. The cost on the ordinary
street where no grading is needed
would amount to about so cents run
ming foot of frontage.
Several streets in Santa Monica, Cal,
have been constructed by the tamping
system, and they have shown almost
perfect endurance. One in particular
has borne heavy traffic for over two
years and is now practically as it was
when originally laid.
