Paver (vehicle)
A paver (road paver finisher, asphalt finisher, road paving machine) is a piece of construction equipment used to lay asphalt concrete or Portland cement concrete on roads, bridges, parking lots and other such places.

In 1933 the independent float screed was invented and when combined with the tamper bar provided for uniform material density ...
