BRICKWORK IN ITALY
continued from page 13
As a local promotion group we are pleased to have been able to participate in the distribution of "Brickwork in Italy." It has very quickly opened doors at the universities. We intend to continue with these new contacts in an effort to bring more masonry instruction into the classrooms.
Bound in two durable, handsome three-ring binders, "Brickwork in Italy" is useful not only for students but offers valuable information for design and building professionals. A limited number of sets is available through IMI at a cost of $198 each.
John S. lanuzzi Scholarship Presented
John S. Ianuzzi (2nd from right) presents the scholarship named in his honor for Excellence in Specification Writing to Gary Eckelman, a fourth-year student in Syracuse University's School of Architecture. Ianuzzi, who retired in 1974 from Dur-O-wal. Inc. after a long career with the company, was named a Fellow of the Construction Specifications Institute in 1971. That year the scholarship was established in his name and has been awarded annually since then. Also pictured (from left) are Professor Bruno Pfister: William F. Fagan, vice president of Dur-O-wal., and Professor Robert Philippi.
Typical of the "Brickwork In Italy" slides are the Colosseum, built 70-80 AD, and the ingenious floor heating system of special hollow tiles used in the Roman baths. The slides, numbering more than 500, truce Italian building achievements through 15 centuries.
Tiny Objects Cause Most Eye Injuries
Objects smaller than a pinhead are causing the greatest number of eye injuries, according to a special survey by the Department of Labor.
In a study of 1.052 eye accidents in selected occupations, the Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics said 69 percent were cause by flying or falling objects. Of these, 58 percent were caused by objects less than one-half millimeter in diameter, which is smaller than a pinhead. Of the occupations studied, craft workers accounted for 42 percent of those injured.
Three other surveys covering foot, head and face injuries also have been conducted as part of the Labor Department's program.
CEMENT TEEPEE-Crushed limestone and shale are layered onto the floor of this gigantic conical building at Calaveras Cement in Redding, Calif., creating the proper mix of minerals to make cement. The 114-ft-tall, 252-ft.dia. dome structure is one of several new buildings at the plant which is operated by Flintkote, a Genstar company. Calaveras Cement's facility is undergoing a reindustrialization and expansion process that will cost $42 million and double cement production to 600.000 tons annually. That's enough cement to pave a one-lane highway-4 in. thick and 12 ft. wide from San Diego to the northern tip of Maine.
