ANCHORS FOR CHAIRS THESE ARE KNOWN as theatre expansion bolts. A leading type anchor consists of an especially long tapered fin head bolt, conical cup, lead sleeve, washer and hexagon nut. For best results these should be placed into a hole ^4-inch in diameter. It is suggested that one use a 17/32inch diameter drill to allow for wear. The bolt is set head downward into the hole. The setting tool furnished with each order, is a hollow piece of rod, which is slipped over the bolt against the washer, and when driven with a few blows of a hammer, expands the conical cup which spreads out, increasing the diameter of the head of the bolt to the absolute diameter of the hole and thereby allowing no lead to be driven past the head of the bolt, and at the same time expands the lead sleeve into everv crevice in the concrete. Another method, of later development, combines lead and steel jackets and employs lead, a dead metal, for anchorage, a method calculated to eliminate any transmission of vibration to or cracking of masonry. When placed in a hole and driven down with the application tool, the steel cone expands over the head of the bolt and completely fills all space between the head of bolt and wall of hole, thus preventing the lead from flowing past the head of bolt, and it wedges the bolt head in the hole. The lead jacket expands and flows over the steel cone completely filling the hole around the shank of the bolt and gives a soft but powerful grip between the bolt and masonry throughout the entire length of the lead jacket.
