Reinforced Concrete Sidewalk Lights
|
|
To be able to meet all different
conditions and to give our customers the best and most
satisfactory form of illumination we maintain several
gangs of experienced sidewalk men who are able to install
any of our constructions in accordance with the high
standards of this company. We guarantee that all work
done under our direction or by our men will be satisfactory
in every way. |

Detail of Construction of Factory-made Reinforced Concrete Slabs
|
These men build our reinforced
concrete work right on the job and every one of thousands
of customers testify to the perfection of their work. Our
reinforced concrete construction is the strongest and best
proportioned of any type now made. Using 5/16 inch twisted
square rods (where some others use ¼ inch) and properly
proportioning the glass area and the cement to get the
greatest amount of illumination consistent with the
greatest strength has made our construction the most
specified by architects and the most ordered by owners.
No other reinforced concrete sidewalk installation is so
popular because none is so satisfactory.
Specify reinforced concrete sidewalk
lights as installed by American 3-Way Prism Company and
you will secure the most effective and the best construction
of this type.

Reinforced Concrete Slabs
For installations of small area or
on work at too great a distance from source of supplies we
recommend the use of our factory-made reinforced concrete
slabs. We make these slabs complete, glazed and finished,
ready to be set in place. Send us the blue print or the
sketch of the opening to be filled and we will make up the
slab of perfectly proportioned concrete, 1 7/8 inch thick
and reinforced with 5/16 inch twisted rods run both ways
between all rows of glass. For this we use any of the
various styles of glass tiles as described on page 2
and shown by cuts, page 14. You can select
and specify the one you want as determined by the use you
want to make of your light.
|

Factory-made Slabs Ready for Shipment |
If the opening to be filled
requires more than one slab we supply the necessary T bars,
cut to the proper length, for the supporting members.
With the complete directions and the perfectly made and
perfect fitting slabs we supply any ordinary workman can
set the installation and caulk the joints; thus making
a perfect job.
For figures on the strength
of these reinforced concrete slabs, read the extracts from
the engineers' reports as given on the following page.
