Novel dome construction
Reinforced concrete domes recently erected on Continent on system invented by Bauersfeld, of Jena firm of Zeiss, who also invented planetarium; dome at Zeiss firm's works was specially built for experimental work with planetarium; reinforcement is so designed that its weight will be equal at all points, and to achieve this object flat steel bars 2 ft. long are used; dome at Schott and Gen. Works is 131 ft. in diameter, and was built on same principle; erection of reinforcement was started at bottom by men working from scaffold pivoted from center of dome so that it could be turned and raised as work proceeded.
