'isi-2i' This invention relates to the manufacture of adjustable supporting structure is provided for wallboard wherein a core of hydrated calcined this purpose; This structure comprises a series gypsum is molded and allowed to-harden withof relatively short rolls Il, each "mounted in in paper liners, one `of which folds over and bearings I2 movably supported on cams I3.withencloses the edges ofthe core, and is particuin the guide members I4 and I5 of theframe 5 larly directed to lche formation of a slightly bev- I6, which is provided for each roll. This struc elled edge on the under surface of the board at ture' is located at each side of the belt 'I at the longitudinal marginal edges of the board. spaced points along-the belt for Va-suilicient dis- A gypsum wallboard with such an edge makes tance to sustain the bevelled edge until thecore it possible to form with relative ease a greatly and adhesive have adequately setanddried to 10 improved joint between the boards when they cause -the board to retain its shape.' The twp are erected to form wall surfaces to which decpair of cams I3 in the supporting structure on oration may be applied. While it has heretoimmediately opposite sides of the belt are mountfore been proposed to bevel the edges of such ed on a shaft Il which may be reciprocated by boards, no adequate method or means have been a `handle I8.

At the upper edge of the bevelled edges of the board and whenso arranged 40 ends of roll 2 in Flgurel is arranged a plate 5 the rolls smaintain the .margins of thebelt 1n which forms a tapered depression or bevel 6' on contact with the inclined edges of the'board until the longitudinal margins ofthe board 6. the board has become sufficiently hardened. to The usual suvpcingbelt 'I on which the beard retain its form.

to conform with the bevels on the board, ,and an In operation of this form of the 'apparatus 55 the board as formed in the squeeze rolls has square or untapered edges. When the board reaches the zone of the supporting rolls it is still plastic and the upwardly inclined edges of the 5 belt form the slight taper on the under side of the longitudinal margins of the board. The belt is retained in this position for a suillcient length of time to permit the board to harden sutllcientlyto retain the slight beve 'I'his is accomplished v 10 by arranging the tapered collars on a sumcient number of the rolls and thenurnber will depend to some extent at least upon the speed of travel of the belt and the setting character of the core ot the board. As the board sets the tapered mar- 15 gins require less support and the collarsmay be arranged" progressively nearer the ends of the roll affording progressively less support for the tapered margins.
-It will be apparent that the usual scoring devices for the lower liner will be arranged closer together in or'der to accommodate the decreased thickness ofcore at the edge of the board according to the extent of the taper.
I claim: ,v In the manufacture of wallboard having a quick-setting core and e'nclosing paper liners adhering thereto the method which comprises forming a square edge board between squeeze rolls'l and thereafter while the core is in plastic condition forming a taper on the longitudinal margins of the board and maintaining the taper until the core hardens.
