Abstract
The operation of proportioning the various aggregate sizes, adding binder and mixing the whole to produce as far as possible a homogeneous mass is a relatively simple process if a soft binder is employed; quality control is not important and only a small amount of mixed material is required. All that is required is a heated tray and several men with shovels.
