Title: Wall form and method of assembly thereof

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus utilized in the pouring of concrete walls and includes a number of vertical girder-like or "strong-back" members to which are clamped a number of transversely extending beam members having wooden inserts to which plywood panels are nailed, the arrangement constituting a form. In use, a pair of such forms are spaced apart by tie rods extending from one form to the other form and concrete is poured between the facing plywood panels. Selected of the strong-back members may be provided with brackets which assist in ensuring that the form is in correct vertical alignment to the ground and other brackets may be provided to cooperate with the strong-back members in order to support a walkway and a safety-fence.
