Tarvy, that’s what they called it. You had to do a gravel spread of a certain length. Then an oil truck would put down a layer of oil. After that the grader would spend a long time mixing the two until finally laying out the roadway which would be flattened by a steam roller.1973. That’s Robbie Stevens monitoring the flow.

Got pretty good at it after a while.
