& HY-RIB IN considering the advantages of Hy-Rib one is faced with the surprising fact that it may be used in the construction of Partitions, Ceilings, Walls or Roofs, with equally satisfactory results. Hy-Rib is made by pressing deep strengthening ribs into a flat sheet of best English steel, and so perforating and expanding the spaces between that a perfect surface is provided for the application of concrete or plaster. Rapidity of construction, economy and permanence are some of the points in favor of Hy-Rib construction, whilst the ability to build thin solid partitions or walls only two inches thick and of great rigidity, results in a large saving of interior space. Industrial and residential buildings in great variety have been erected on the Hy-Rib system throughout the world, and a recent letter from England mentioned the following orders: — Four Cordite Ranges for British War Office. Two Cotton Waste Stores. Military Hospital, Ripon, Yorks. Smallpox Hospital, Liverpool. Biscuit Factory, Carlisle. Salt Union Building. North Western Railway Carriage Sheds. H.M.
