Fiberglass Membrane:Theinclusion of fiberglass membrane is recommended to act as areinforcement should fine shrinkage cracks occur in the reinforcedconcrete roof.Use Weatherkote 3401fiberglass or approvedequivalent. Falls:Allroof surfaces should have adequatefallforpurposesinaccor-dancewith good engineeringpractice.Sub-tropical or tropical Remainder minimum 1:60 1:80 Dt!corative orUght: Reflective finish- For a decorative and light reflectingfinish, allow 2 full weeks to elapse after the Bitumen Emulsion isdry, before applying Wea-therkoteAluminum or alternative. DryingTime:AShell Weatherkote Bitumen coating can be consideredsufficient-ly dry to proceed with the next coat when on rubbingvigorously with a wet finger no brown stain is produced on thefinger.Shell Weatherkote Bitumen coatings normally reach this stagein 6 to 12 hours dependingon atmospheric conditions.Shell Weatherkote Bitumen coatings must not be applied if rain Is imminentbefore the coating has dried.,-! Spraying:If spraying is preferred,Shell Weatherkote Type 3 and 5 can be sprayed by suitable equipmentat no more than 2 1/2 gallons per 100 sq.ft. per coat. The pat-ternof any embedded fiber glass membrane must not be visible when thefinal spray has dried.

The bulkof electric energy utilized today is in the form of alternatingcurrent (a-c),produc-edbya-cgenerators,commonlycalledalternators.Direct-current(d-elgeneratorsareutilized for special applications requiring large quantities ofd-e.Inthe building field such a requirement is found in elevatorwork. Smaller quantities of d-e, furnished either by batteries orby rectifiers are utilized for telephone and signal equipment,controls, and other specializ-edusas. 2.UNIT OFELECTRIC CURRENT THE''AMPERE" When electricity flows in a conductor, a certain numberof electron$ pass a given point in the conductor in 1 second.Numerically, an ampere of current flows in a conductor when 6.25 x1018electrons pass a givencross sectionin1 second.Current oramperage, is abbreviated Amp, Amps or a.(on120 volt service,theordinary 100 Watt lamp filament carries about 0.833 amp,the motorfor a desk calculator. about 1.00 amp.} Current is represented inequa-tions by 1.

It is convenient toestablish an analogy between electric systems and mechani_calsystems as an aid to comprehension.Current, or amperage, is ameasure of flow and, and such, wouldcorrespondtowaterflowinahydraulicsystem.Thecorrespondenceisnotcomplete, however, since in the hydraulic system the velocity ofwater flow varies, whereas in the elec-tricsystemthevelocityofpropagation is constantandf!18Ybeconsideredinstantaneous; hence,theneed to utilize the electric energy the instant it is produced.3.UNIT OF ELECTRIC POTENTIAL THE "VOLT" OR "V" The electronmovement and its concomittant energy, which constituteselectricity, is caused bycreatingahigherpositiveelectricchargeatonepointonaconductorthanexistsat another point on that sameconductor. This difference in charge can be created in a number ofways.The oldest and simplest method is by electrochemical action,asin the battery.In the ordinary dry cell,or in a storage battery,chemical action causes positive charges +tocollectonthepositiveterminalandelectronsornegativecharges(-Jtocollectonthenegativeterminals.Thereisa definite forceattraction,or tendencytoflow,betweentheelectrifiedparticlesconcentratedatthepositiveandnegativeterminals.Potentialdif-ferenceorVoltageisthenamegiventothiselectromotiveforceemf.Thisforceisanalogous to pressure in a hydraulic or pneumatic system. Just asthe pressure produced by a pump or blower causes water or air toflow in a connecting pipe, sotoo the potential (emf, voltage)produced by a battery (or generator) causes current to flow whenthe terminals bet-weenwhich a voltage exists are connectedby aconductor.

The flow of fluid in a hydraulic system is impeded byfriction;the flow of current in an elec-tric circuitisimpededresisted)by resistance,whichis theelectricaltermforfriction.In a direct-current circuit (d-el this unit is calledresistance and is abbreviated R;in an alternating-current circuit(a-c)it is called impedance and is abbreviated Z.The unit ofmeasurement is calledtheohm. Materials displaydifferent resistanceto theflow of electric current.Metals generally havetheleastresistanceandarethereforecalledconductors.Thebestconductorsarethe3 4 preciousmetals-silver,gold,andplatinum-with coppetandaluminumonly slightlyin-ferior.Conversely,materialsthatresisttheflowofcurrentarecalledinsulators.Glass,mica,rubber,oil,distilledwater,porcelain,andcertainsyntheticssuchasphenoliccom-pounds exhibit this insulatingpropertyandarethereforeusedto insulateelectricconduc-tors.Common examplesare .rubber and plastic wire coverings,porcelain lamp sockets,andoil-immersed switches.
