S$ taplers needed

in home

workshop

A stapler used to be just part of an office desk. But today
staplers are availabte in all shapes and sizes to speed up con-

struction jobs,

Stapies can replace the tradi-
tional hammer andnail, and other
fastening devices,

Even the desk stapler is no
longer restricted to putting two
pieces of paper together,

The heads of most staplers can
be pivoted back, or removed com-
pletely, permitling the stapler to
be used as a tacker.

Attaching cloth or light sheet
plastic to card tables is an ex-
ample of one job that these stap-
lers ¢an do both quickly and neat-
ly.

A better job can of course
be done with a gun type stapler
which can drive fairly heavy 14
inch staples and can handle a
number of jobs around the aver-
age home and workshop.

With all gun type staplers, the
staple driver is powered by a
spring which is tightenedto maxi-
mum pressure, then suddenly re-
leased by the single action of

squeezing the trigger arm toward
the base.

Concentrating the total force of
the spring on the narrow areca of
the head of a staple causes it to
be driven with tremendous force.

Then of course there are the
hb m staplers for heavy jobs.

5a staples of 7-L6ths to $3
inches, they can casily penetrate
14 inch ceiling tiles. Heavier
drive springs plus compound lev~
erage in the trigger mechanism
provide the muscle,

Many staplers can usc More
than one size of staple. If one
size does not drive in flush, then
a stapler with shorter legs ‘could
be used,

Deep penetration of staples is
due to their strength and sharp
points. Staples for heavier work
are usually made of high carbon
stecl wire for maximum resis-
tance to bending.

Staple heads can be square,
round or oval.

Private M.D. Facilities

Improved Medical facilities

f| for physicians are making bet-

ter medical care available to
larger numbers of average
families in suburban and rural
areas,

A far cry from the old-
fashioned doctors’ offices of yes-

s\teryerar, these buildings are de-

signed to house sophisticated

B|new scientific equipment, x-ray

andglaboratory facilities, several

Rexamination and consultation

rooms, and modern office
machines to handle the time-
consuming record-keeping and
business end of a family doctor's
practice. In areas where hos-

5| pitals are distant, the new medi-

cal buildings may also serve as

local emergency hospital units.

In many instances, the medi-

a | cal buildings and the cost of ex-

pensive equipment may be
shared by two or more doctors

sf) enabling them to provide better

care and treat more patients
than they could in individual
offices with fewer facilities.

An example of the trend !s

wood frame bullding, it has
three waiting rooms, a business
office, two consultation rooms,
six treatment rooms, six exam-
ination rooms, an x-ray room,
and a laboratory. The design
will permit future expansion as
needed.

Because the nearest hospital
{s 12 miles away, an emergency
treatment room was also in-
cluded. It has an outside access
ramp that allows stretchers to
be wheeled in from ambulances.

Since doctors have little time
for painting, building materials
were selected for low mainte-
nance. The building features
awning and casement windows
with obscure glass to provide a
light and cheerful atmosphere
while maintaining privacy.
