1862 London Exhibition: Catalogue: Class I.: Morewood and Rogers
237. MOREWOOD and ROGERS, Stratford, Essex.
Sheets of iron and other metals for roofing, etc.
The space allotted to MESSRS. MOREWOOD and ROGERS is covered by a shed of their new PATENT CONTINU0US GALVANIZED ROOFING SHEETS. This roofing, which combines lightness, strength, and durability, can be applied at less cost than common asphalted felts, and further recommends itself by the ease with which it can be applied by unskilled labour; by the rapidity with which buildings can be covered with it; and by the important fact that sheets can be made of any required length.
The great and special advantages which such a material possesses are obvious: any labourer on a farm, or in a factory, who can use a hammer will be quite capable of applying this material, no greater skill being needed than if the building had to be covered with canvas or felt.
Corrugated sheets of Patent Continuous Metal for roofing or upright work can be supplied of any lengths up to twenty feet, without additional charge for extra length by the exhibitors, from whom licences may be obtained for working their patent.
Applications should be addressed to MOREWOOD and ROGERS, Dowgate Dock, Upper Thames Street, E.C.
