The sp:~~;ot shall be centered in the <br />bell, the pipe sho~~~ed into position and brought into true alignment <br />secured there with earth tamped around the pipe except at bell hoJ_es. <br />Bells shall face the direction of laying except on appreciable grades <br />they shall face uphill. Sterilized yarnir_g material as above specified <br />handled to avoid contamination, shall be applied dry and firmly pressed <br />into the joint. The yarning material sha7.1 be long enough 'to reach en- <br />tirely around the pipe vrith ends overlapping not less than two inches. <br />The ends shall meet on opposite sides of p~.pe and not on top or bottom. <br />If necessary successive stz~ands of yarning material shall be driven home <br />_g- <br />
