- Abstract
During the year ended June 30, 1925, the Victorian Country Roads Board completed a length of 151 miles of surface spraying (24 with tar and 127 with bitumen). A description is given of the steam wagon fitted with a 800-gal. tank, and also of the rotary pump used for forcing the heated material through the sprayer. Quantities and costs are given in full. There, is also introduced an account of tests made with bituminous emulsions (Coldspray and Coldfix).
