interesting lecture was given on wednesday morning in the physics building for the benefit of the junior civils the subject of this lecture was bituminous pavements and the lecturer was mr c e mc clintock a representative of warren brothers co a well known paving concern of bos ton mass this lecture along with similar ones which will be given from time to time is in tended to supplement the course in highway engineering given by the c e department the subject matter of the lecture dealt with the different kinds of bituminous pavements better known as asphalt roads and the improvements that have been made in them the two general classes of asphalt roads are the penetration type and the mixed method type in the first method the crushed stone is spread over the road sprink led with tar then covered with a finer layer of crushed stone and the road is then roll ed thoroughly this type of pavement is fairly inexpensive and makes a very serviceable road if not subject to heavy traffic in the second method the crushed stone asphalt etc are heated and then thoroughly mixed together this mixture is placed on the road while still hot and rolled this forms a much better type of road than the first kind because all the particles of rock are evenly coat ed with tar which serves to bind them together it was with the improvements of this latter type of roads that the lecturer was chiefly concerned con on page 4 col 4 in the earliest form of as phalt road the materials used were chiefly sand asphalt and the combined musical clubs have once again soared to great heights this
