Abstract
A felt paper dispenser and tampers assembly for dispensing and tamping felt paper on a built-up roof in a single operation. The device has a tamping roller which supports the machine and has adjustable conically shaped hubs which grasp a roll of felt paper forward of the tamper roller and dispenses the paper as the device is rolled along the surface to be covered. A solvent is dispensed onto a brush to clean the surface of the tamper roller to provide a smooth, uninterrupted surface for smoothing the paper onto the heated tar in a single motion.
