when applied to a radius rail 15. Radius
rail 15 in this instance is preferably pro-
vided with an additional anchor plate 16,
removably secured to the inner surface ""of
5 said rail by nut and bolt 17.
In Figs. 5 to 8 the construction is illus-
trated when applied to curb and gutter con-
struction. In this instance the inner rail
21 and the outer rail 22, both of channel*
10 iron but of varying depths, correspond
(otherwise to rails 1 of the side walk form.
Each rail 21 and 22 is made in interlocking
sections with anchor plates precisely as are
rails 1 of the other construction. In addi-
15 tion to these rails 21 and 22 there is pro-
vided an intermediate rail 23, between which
and rail. 22 a space is formed for the recep-
tion of the material forming the curb. The
rail '23 is supported above the ground A
20 (see Fig. 6) and' in proper position by the
channel braces 24 securing the base of rail
23 to the top of rail 21 and by the straps 25
connecting the top flanges of all three rails
together. The intermediate rail 23 is con-
25 nected up in sections by a slightly different
construction from that used in connecting
up rails 1, rails 21, or 22. ' Each section of
rail 23 is provided with ears 26 extending
beyond the free edges of the sections on the
30 inside of the rail. When the sections are
in position to clamp the dividing templet
27 these ears of adjacent sections overlap
and are interlocked with the edge of
templet 27.
35 Having thus.'described the nature and ob-
jects of my invention, what I 'claim as new
and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,-
1. In a form for laying concrete, a rail
formed in a plurality of sections.from chan-
40 nel iron or its equivalent, an anchor plate
and means for interlocking the contiguous
. end's of meeting sections to said anchor
plate..2. In a form for laying concrete, a rail
formed in a plurality of sections from chan- 45
nel iron or its equivalent, an anchor plate,
a dividing templet, and means for inter-
locking the ends of contiguous sections and
the dividing templet to said anchor plate.
3. In a form for laying, concrete, two 50
parallel flanged rails each divided into a
plurality of abutting sections, an anchor
plate for each rail interlocked with the ends
of the abutting sections and a dividing
templet spanning the space between the 55
parallel rails and interlocked at each end
with the respective anchor plates for the
rails.
4. In a form for laying concrete, two
parallel flanged rails each divided into a 60
plurality of abutting sections, an anchor
plate for each rail interlocked with the ends
of the abutting sections and a dividing
templet spanning the space between the
parallel rails and interlocked at each end 65
with the respective anchor plates for the
rails, in combination with an intermediate
rail, braces extending from the flange of
one of the exterior rails to the base of said
intermediate rail and. arranged to support 70
said intermediate rail, and straps securing
the flanges of the parallel rails to the upper
flange of the intermediate rail.
5. In a form for laying concrete, two
parallel flanged rails each divided into a 75
plurality of sections formed from channel
iron or its'enuivalent, an anchor plate and
means for insurlocking the contiguous ends
of meeting sections to said anchor plate, in
combination with a radius rail arranged to 80
be interlocked to the anchor plates of the
channel iron rails.
' In testimony whereof I have signed my
name to this specification.
