APiri-: SHAI'IOD, or ciicular piece of iron, has no 

 equal for strength, ihe amount of iron used being 

 taken into consideration. 

 When a strain is brought to bear on any part, it is dis- 

 tributed to every part of the circle, so that every part is 

 doing its part to stand the pressure. 



Based on this engineering fact the U-Bar construction is 

 constructed. 



The steel part of the U-Bar itself is really a circle 

 squeezed together a bit and the top cut off, making an 

 oblong shaped member which, next to a circular shape, 

 is one of the strongest shapes. 



This oblong circle of galvanized steel, with iis i luniically 

 treated cypress cone Ijar, makes the complete U-Bar. 

 Now you understand as you never understood before, just 

 why U-Bar roofs, light ■..■> they are, are strong as they are. 

 The U-Bar, although no larger than the roof bar used in 

 other constructions, forms both the roof bar and rafter 

 in one. 



By using curved aves other constructions may look like 

 the U-Bar — but that is the only way they are like it. 

 If it is not built with the U-Bar it is not a U-Bar curved- 

 eave house. Serid for a catalog or send for us — or both.
