Ridge Framing 



In Our Reconstructed 



Construction 



THE more work we can do in our factory on tendency to sag. To prevent tliis we run n liiilit 

 a ffreenhonse, tlie better. It brings the cost .<teul rod tni?s from rafter to rafter with a strut 

 down for ymi and means quicker erection in the centre. See top cut, part No. 1. Xow take 

 on the job. One radical departure in our Recon- 

 structed Construction is tlie complete a.ssembling 

 and lint-riveting together of the rafter, from the 



ridge to tlie column, in connection with the main 



members and strut of the 



iloulile angle - iron truss. 



See bottom cut. 



To splice this assemliled 



rafter and truss together at 



the lidge we use an Angle 



Splice Plate and bolts. See 



t(ip cut, i)art No. 2. 



The 12 feet l?f inches span 



of tlie ridge between the 



rafter is so long that if not 



stiffened it wciuld have a 



|iaiticulnr iKitice of the extra wide ridge cap 

 overhang and how it is milled nut tn take the 

 sasli, making a weatlier tight cap that i? weatlier 

 light. See top cut, part No. 7. 



Notice also, the notch that 

 is milled on the sash to pre- 

 vent the wind forcing the wa- 

 ter between the sash and cap. 

 In the next Ad. we will tell 

 you still iiiorc aliout thr 

 ridge and rnitiin- almut tln'
