[57] ABSTRACT
A method is described for the continuous production of glass fiber mesh reinforced concrete panels consisting of a layer of light weight concrete core mix bonded to a web of glass fiber mesh on each face. An uncured ribbon of reinforced concrete is first formed, suitable for cutting into individual panels. A new method of depositing the cement slurry or core mix on the web of fiber glass has been developed; this is accomplished by conveying the web over a reversely-turning pumping roller which transfers a controlled amount of slurry or core mix to the web.
