Towel Weave Getting
New, Flattened Roof
The 10th and final section of the roof
over the Towel Mill Weave Room is be
ing lowered today to make ready for a
flat, insulated roof needed in connection
with the evaporative cooling system be
ing installed in the weave room.
The modern roof will aid in improved
manufacturing conditions by permitting
more uniform control of temperature

cessive condensation, preserving the
roof deck and the inside floors.

“sweat” extensively. The glass windows
permitted heat to escape in winter and
heat from outside to infiltrate in sum

insulation and the new tar and gravel
roof. Two large rooms will be erected
on the roof to house the air washers
