IL .,iake Concrete

I'm proportioning the quantities OF
matrix (cemenD. It is desirable to use
as little Of it as Is consistent with
strength. When natural flint gravel con-
tanning both stones and sand is used,
it is usual to mix SO much gravel with
so much cement, the proportions usual
ly run from to for very strong
work, down to II to 1 for unimportant
work When stones and sand are OBJ
tanned from different sources. their
relative proportions have to be decided
upon.
IA common way is first to choose a
proportion Of sand to cement, which
will probably vary from l to up to
to l. It then remains to determine
what proportion Of stones should be
added. For this purpose, large can,
whose volume is known, Is filed loose
ly with stones and the volume Of the
voids between them is determined by
measuring how much water the can
will hold in addition to the stones. 1t
is then assumed that the quantity OF
sand and cement should be equal to
the voids. Moreover, the volume of
sand and cement together Is generally
assumed to be equal to that OF the sand
alone, as the cement to a large extent
fills UP voids in the sand"

ChippendaIe Chair Styles

THE primary characteristic of Chip
pendale's work is solidity, but it is a
solidity which rarely becomes heavi-
ness. Even in his most lightsome eff
forts. such as the ribbon-backed
chair, construction is always the first
consideration. 1t is here perhaps that
he differs most materially from his
great successor Sheraton. whose ideas
of construction We're eccentric in the
extreme. Chippendale introduced the
Gabrielle leg; the claw and ball foot OF
ancient Oriental use: the straight,
square, uncomprom sing early Georg-
ian leg; the carved lattice-work Chi
nese leg; the pseudo-Chinese leg: the
fretwork leg; the inelegant rocco leg
with the curled or hoofed foot; and
even occasionally the spade foot. His
chair backs were various: The most
attractive feature Of Chippendale's
most attractive chairs is the back.
which speaking generally is the most
elegant and pleasing thing. that has
ever been done in furniture.
