block is in the form of two rectangles side by side and joined to gether for onehalf of the length the edges are tongued and grooved so that they fit snugly and closely into eiich other thus excluding wet but requiring no binding solution the area of which each block measures nine inches by 4 inches by 2i j inches in depth the depth is divid ed into three equal portions the up- 1 per third being of resilient toughened rubber to act as a shock and vibration absorber the center tlilrd is of a batd rubber composition which is de signed to prevent the too great com pression or spread of the blocks

medium in an interview the contractor pointed out that the roadway under test had been chosen as it is over a very troublesome stretch which never lasts without repair for more than a few months asked as to how the cost compared with the ordin ary concrete and wood mr cowper said that at present the price of rub ber being in a very uncertain state it worked out at about 2 per square yard or about double against this must be put the greatly increased wear more than double and the ease of repair great advantage must ac crue too he said owing to the minimizing of vibration and the ab sence of noise in order to simplify repair work mr cowper has designed a system of locking strips bolted down to the roadway and removable when the nuts are taken off some such provision is necessary in the case of tram rails this new rubber roadway has been very favorably commented on in the technical press it has already un dergone a very searching test under expert supervision when a stretch of blocks
