RE: Steel Deck Centering
I believe it was originally used for a strange product comprised of wire mesh of some kind along with a tar-paper like fabric - with the wires "sewn" into the fabric. This was stapled or somehow connected to the supporting steel joists and then concrete was placed over it....sort of a cantenary cable support where the "centering" sagged a bit, but served well for a temporary form. You see this in many older buildings around the middle of the 1900's.
