Abstract: An improved panelized construction system for providing a wall formation for attaching to a foundation wall including a plurality of block forming units adaptable for being both vertically and horizontally arranged to form the wall formation, the opposed side wall portions of each unit including cooperatively engageable portions for fixedly attaching the units in side-by-side horizontal relationship. The present methods for attaching the assembled wall formation to at least a portion of a foundation wall includes providing a plurality of adjustment mechanisms for enabling the wall formation to be leveled and aligned with adjacent wall formations or other structures independent of any foundation misalignments, and providing a plurality of foundation cavities adjacent the upper edge portion of the foundation wall for receiving corresponding foot members associated with the wall formation for encapsulation in a cement slurry.

Abstract: A band and/or strip heater assembly which enables the terminal end portions of the electrical heating element to be readily exposed so as to be easily accessible for later connection to any one of a wide variety of lead/terminal connections. The assembly comprising a heater element having a plurality of end portions associated therewith, electrical insulation material positioned in surrounding relationship on at least two sides of the heater element, a housing member enclosing the heater element and insulation material, an opening extending through at least a portion of the insulating material located adjacent one side of the heater element and through at least a portion of the housing member, the heater element end portions extending through such openings so as to be readily exposed exterior of the housing member. This construction enables the basic heater unit to be fully fabricated and assembled without attaching a particular style of lead/terminal connection thereto.

Abstract: A side loader for use with fork lift trucks or the like having a support frame and a rotatable frame mounted on the support frame for rotation with respect to the support frame about a vertical axis. A reach apparatus is mounted at its inner end upon the rotatable frame for extending and retracting movement along a substantially horizontal axis, and a fork bar frame carried upon the reach apparatus includes fluid actuated means for tilting the fork bars thereon. A unique actuator system is provided for rotating the rotatable frame with respect to the support frame.
