Tis article by a member of the civil engineering faculty of the Technion, Israel, recounts experience with the heat treatment of damp old masonry walls. Dampness may be regarded as a special condition of ageing, he suggests, and heating by use of a gas burner with high infra-red radiation reduces the wall salinity and helps to strengthen the structure. The technique was first evolved in the USSR.
