Excerpt from The Architectural Review, Vol. 14: January to December, 1907 Opinion and experience seem to favor the latter although both are Open to certain Obvious and common disadvantages. The thinner strands of wire are the more thoroughly imbedded into the plaster, even if only worked from one side, and therefore the more perfectly protected from weather and damp. On the other hand, some claim that the smaller section area Offered by the wire is the more easily corroded by the dampness that must be absorbed by the protecting mortar during a long-continued spell of rainy weather; and that its greater exibility makes the cracking Of plas ter from that cause the more certain. Both metal and wire may be galvanized, which adds to their cost, but the covering of both may be scratched away or injured; and an Opening crack in one, or the untwisting, or breaking apart of a welded joint in the other, would let the moisture into a vulnerable spot.
