d. The floors and roofs will be constructed as follows: the area first being fixed, a timber centering will be formed beneath them consisting of bearing timbers of sufficient strength to bear the concrete without deflection, supporting boards covered with boards upon which the concrete will be laid: care must be taken that the

joints of these boards are

quite close. Upon

lightly centering the concrete will be laid and rammed with wooden beaten metal to the surface. The smaller floors may

easily be completed in one operation, but when the work has to be interrupted and cannot

be stopped at a joint or girder, the edge should be racked back and left rough to form a key for the next day's work: in recommencing, the edges of the old work should be swept and well wetted. Every

care must be taken not to

disturb the concrete whilst setting: if necessary to pass over it, planks must be laid down for the purpose. The centering is not to be disturbed for 14 days from the time of laying the concrete, which during that period must be kept wet by canvas with watering cans, inspected from time to time by sprinkling with a fine rose.
