78. Riveted members must have all parts well pinned up and drawn together before riveting up, so that when finished they will be free from open joints and the component parts will lie close on each other.

79. All rivets must be driven by machine where possible, and where not possible, pneumatic driven rivets will be preferred to hand rivets.

80. Wherever practicable, reaming must be done after all pieces which are to be fastened together by the same rivets have been assembled. If necessary to take the pieces apart for shipping or handling, the respective pieces reamed together must be so marked that they may be reassembled in the final setting up. No interchanging of pieces after reaming will be allowed.

All spliced members shall be put together in the shop, and the field rivet holes reamed to a fit while these members with their splice plates are in place.

83. Complete copies of mill orders and plans will be furnished to the inspector, and he must be notified in time to be on hand when work is begun on his orders.

84. The Contractor must furnish all facilities for inspecting the workmanship and testing the quality of all material furnished on the order at the mill or shop where the material is manufactured.

85. The Inspector must be given reasonable facilities to check the weights of finished members before shipment. Not more than 21⁄2 per cent excess weight over figured weight will be paid for by the Railroad Com

pany.

86. Wherever bolts are used in place of rivets the holes must be reamed true to size after work is assembled, the bolts must be turned to a driving fit and their threads reduced one-eighth of an inch in diameter under size of finished bolts. A small washer, one-eighth of an inch

thick, must be used under nut.

87. In case of local building ordinances conflicting with these specifications in whole or in part, the requirements of such ordinances will take precedence over these specifications.

SECTION 15

Marble and Tile Work

The Contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, tools, scaffolding and equipment, except as otherwise noted, necessary to entirely complete any or all classes of marble or tile work herein specified, according to the class of building, and as shown or implied on the drawings.

The completed work shall be equal to the approved samples as to quality, color, markings and finish.

3. Thickness.

All marble shall be thick enough to be amply strong for its size and location and no slabs shall be less than seven-eighths (%) inch in thick

ness.

All returns of eight (8) inches or less projection shall be from stock of sufficient thickness to form solid angles without vertical joints, angle pieces may be cut with hand saw, provided the position of joints is not altered from that shown on drawings. All molded or ornamented members shall be from stock sufficiently thick to permit of the finished work being an exact reproduction of the models or drawings without flattening. Projecting angles throughout shall be slightly rounded to prevent the edges chipping.

4. Setting and Anchoring.

All slabs shall be set free from backing surfaces using brick furring on vertical surfaces, and other approved materials elsewhere. All bearing edges shall be bedded solidly and continuously their entire length and no material other than pure plaster of Paris and pure non-staining Portland cement shall be used in setting. Each piece of marble throughout the entire work shall be securely fastened in place with brass or bronze dowels, clamps and tees, which must be provided and used in ample numbers to make a rigid and permanent job. No tees shall be fastened to the marble or walls by cement or plaster only, but each must fit into a properly drilled seat, shaped to retain the setting mortar.

In no case shall any metal fastening show on the exposed faces unless specially mentioned herein or shown on the drawings. Specially made metal fastenings shall be used where necessary, or as may be directed.

5. Finish.

The finishes to be given marble are as follows:

(a) All floors and floor borders, stair treads, risers and landings and door saddles are to be honed.

(b) All marble, except as noted in (a) above, to be highly polished. 6. Joints.

All joints shall be close, showing only a hair line and each piece of marble shall be worked to absolutely perfect edges. The exposed surfaces of all marble shall be worked to true planes so that abutting edges cannot be felt. Any surface dressing necessary to obtain these results shall be continued the full length and width of the piece affected, so that the dressing cannot be felt or seen, and this shall include any dressing required after the marble is set in place.

7. Supports for Marble Work.

The Marble Contractor shall provide and set all steel supports of every description required specially for the proper setting of his work. Wherever this special steel framing is supported on the framing furnished and set by others, the Contractor for the marble shall furnish to such other contractors, within a reasonable time, carefully prepared drawings showing all required framing connections in detail so that provision may be made for the proper construction of the work, without unnecessary cutting and drilling, but if such framing is already in place, the Contractor for the marble work shall do all cutting, fitting and drilling required to properly connect his work to such framing.

All steel supports furnished by this contractor shall be given three coats, one shop coat and two field coats, of approved paint.

8. Floors and Floor Borders.
