EXPANDED METAL
 Top

                  Expanded Metal may be used for many industrial purposes such
             as open partitions, window guards, machine guards, and other
             manufacturing and maintenance uses.
                  It is more rigid than an equal weight of solid steel plate or wire
             mesh. In fabricating, it may be cut to any desired shape without loss
             of its original strength.
