It was manufactured by the New York Lead Wool Company in the United States and by The Lead Wool Company, Limited in Snodland, Kent, England. The Lead Wool Company (the British company) was incorporated on 9 October 1919 (although some references indicate that it was active before that date) and was still active in 1983. The British company also developed a device to test pipe joints internally. The company's factory had been demolished by 1994, according to a report on archaeological excavations near the factory's site. Lead wool is presently manufactured in the UK by Calder Industrial Materials Limited. == References == - [[Wiki-Architecture/Architectural Concepts and History]] - [[Wiki-Architecture/Individuals]] - [[Professional Practice/Construction Management/Site Management]] - [[Landscape/Landscape Design]] - [[Design/Art and Culture]] - [[Building Services/Building Systems]] - [[Design/Building Typologies/Educational Architecture]] - [[History and Theory/Temple Architecture]] - [[History and Theory/Temple Architecture/Stone Temples of India/pillars]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 06 - Structural Design/Section 3A - Timber]]
