How they Make
Bitulithic
Manager Copeland Ex
plains the Scientific Pro
cess by Which Charlotte
Sts. Are to Be Paved
Chemist Coming Soon.
The people of Charlotte have heard
a great deal lately about bitulithic
pavements, but possibly few
have an idea of what bitulithic pav
ing really is.
A News man "was taken by Super
intendent Copeland to the extensive
plant of the paving company, on the
Southern tracks near the old rock
quarry yesterday afternoon, where
the paving material is to be pre
pared, and the process of preparation
and laying the stuff was explained.
Mr. Copeland was asked to start at
the initial process and explain each
st.-isre of the work. Alter the ex
planations and viewing the working
of the plant, were seen the scien
tific accuracy with which the work
i done, thereby obtaining absolute
uniformity. Every piece of ro?k is
weighed and this is mixed with the
bitulithic preparation under the eyes
of n chemist, who prepares the for
mulas to be followed.
The bitulithic conies in barrels,
which are numbered, each barrel
hnvinsr :i number according to its
eonsistaney or degroe of thickness,
and the kind of bitulithic used is de
termined by climatic and oilier local
conditions. ' What would do in one
part of the country, would not do in
another. The kind's to be used here
are four, Xos. 24, 22. 21U and 21.
The first is very thick, about like
rosin, and No. 21 is about the thick
ness of molasses in cold weather.
The Wearing Surface.
The machinery, which has been
erected is for the mixing of the
wearing surface. This is prepared as
follows: The clean rock is led into
a conveyor, which carries it through
a kiln, in which the rock is heated.
From the kiln it goes into a sepa
rator, and there is again screened, and
fall:; into six compartments each com-

Forecast for Charlotte ard Vicinity.
Rain tonight. Thursday fair and
colder.
Weather Conditions.
The low pressure area central Tues
day morning over the Dakotas has
moved eastward over the lower Lake
region, and has caused rain generally
over the Lake region and Ohio val
ley. Rain has also occurred over the
middle, south Atlantic and Gulf states,
and the middle and lower Mississippi
valley. An area of high pressure
moving in over the Dakotas, has caus
ed fair, colder weather over the!
Missouri and upper Mississippi val-l
leys. Over the Plateau region and the'
Pacific states, pressure is relatively!
low an drain has fallen in scattered
localities. Indications are that asj
the high pressure area now over the
Dakotas moves southeastward, rain;
in the vicinity of Charlotte tonight,!

the size of a bird's egg.
After reaching this stage "the mix
is set' that is, the proportions ot
each to bo used in the mixture, is
determined. These compartments are
over accurate stales, and the com
partments are opened, and each grade
of the stone is accurately weighed.
This mixture is then dumped into the
mixer, and added to it, are certain
quantities of the No. 21 bitulithic.
ibis being hot and of a definite quan
tity. This mixture is then dumped
from below into wagons especially
made, and is carried to the streets
hot, and is distributed from the wag
on from a kind of hopper from be
low. How the Work Begins.
After explaining the making of this
mixture, Mr. Copeland then related
every stage of the work on the
streets. The streets are first graded
down to six inches below the pav
iiie line. First comes a layer of
clean stone six inches in depth. This
is rolled to four inches. On the top
of this is placed a coat of pure bitu
lithic, the Xo. 2-1 kind, which is
called a "binder," and this also is
rolled.
On the top of this is laid the
wearing surface, the making of which
has been explained. While this is
still hot and soft, it is also rolled.
On top of this is put a flush coat of
softer bitulithic, and this is put on
with specially made tools patented
by the company. On the top of this
warm mass is then placed the final
layer of "snuegee" stone, which is
about the size of bird eggs. This is
rolled, and the pavement is com
plete, and absolutely uniform, every
thing being done from start to finish
with scientific accuracy.
When the actual paving begins, Mr.
Copeland expects to lay one thousand
square yards a day.
The chemist from the home labora
tories of the company, will probably
arrive the latter part of the week
to "fix the mix," and by Monday the
work of laying the paving is expected
to begin.
