One method is to use 8x12 concrete or cinder blocks for outer walls, with main partitions of 4x12 blocks; and 1x12 wood beams bearing marine plywood overlaid by Eishestos shingles for the roof. Another, employing frame construction, is to erect the building with 2x4 studding, on 16-incb centers, or 12-inch centers if the area is subject to severe wind storms. Roof construction is similar to that for a block building. A local building contractor is of course in a position to specify materials accordiiTg to standard practice for a structure of such size and purpose. What we are most concerned with here is the functional scheme which guides the various contractors. FOUNDATION AND FLOOR A first concern is the foundation. Before allowing the foundation and concrete floor slab to be poured, the local building inspector, if any, should be consulted, fur there may be a code governing this construction. Here’s an example: In New Jersey, local codes often require that the foundation must be below the first line, irrespective of its size, for a one-story building — that is, not less than 3 feet deep, and not less than 16 inches wide. Now^ this is an extremely heavy foundation for the size of building represented by the accompanying plan ; in many communities, less material would suffice. That is the reason the writer suggests seeing the local building inspector first; that might allow a big saving. In a drawing of the foundation are indicated provisions for electric power and speaker cable, in the event these are to be carried underground into and out of the building through the concrete. Insert a metal box 10x12 inches at the intervals indicated in the foundation drawing. These locations are opposite the partition where the main will be placed, where the water line from the well will come in, and where the disposal line will go out. These precautions will eliminate having to break through the set concrete (a harrowing experience that the writer has witnessed). WASTE DISPOSAL In digging out earth for the floor slab, a ditch for the main sewerage disposal line (Figure 4) should be dug. From the beginning of it throughout the area of the building it should have a fall of 1 inch for every 5 feet, as far as the point at which a 6-inch cast iron drainage pipe will begin just outside the foundation. A cleanout trap should be placed at each end of the disposal line, that at the women’s room side to be a double trap. With a plan like that submitted, with plumbing economy being provided for by a single-line installation for each supply and disposal, it is recommended that the iron pipe leading to the aseptic system be not less than 6 inches, so as to reduce chance FIGURE 6 — Representation of main building foundation, indicating plan of Figure 2, with power line and cable installations that should be provided for if entering or leaving building underground. 24 MOTION PICTURE HERALD, OCTOBER II, 1952
