That centre post prevents eave-eag:, when the weight of 

 hinsred sash drag down on it. No other builder uses it. 



This shows Z-bar eave plate in use. It combines plate aJid 

 drip gutter in one. Strengthens the ea\'e, takes care ot the 

 drip without increasing the shade line or adding cumber- 

 some Httings.

Strength 



Some Half Iron Frame Points 



S 



To prevent the between-posts-sag 

 that always happens with the 

 angle Iron plate, when side sash 

 are used in place of stationary 

 sides: we put a small steel channel 

 post between the plate and sill. 

 It is not large enough to be at all 

 noticeable; but amply strong to 'do 

 its work. 



Keeping the eave straight, it pre- 

 vents much of that vexatious sticli- 

 ing of the sash on the sill. 

 When the Z-bar plate with its drip 

 gutter attached is used; it is stif- 

 fened sufficiently so no centre sup- 

 port is necessary. 

 So much for our non-sagging plate; 

 now about the purlins and the way 

 to columns and roof bars. 

 A special two bolt V-shaped fitting

COLUMN CAP 



ThiH KhoWB you the special no-Hlip-way 

 we fasten the angle purlin to the col- 

 umn. Note the two legs for screwing 

 post to the roof bars. 



they are secured 

 holds the purlin 



to the column cap. This cap is 

 bolted through-and-through the col- 

 umns. It cannot slip off. 

 The purlins are held squarely in 

 place against the bar by two legs. 

 Three screws are used. 

 Each roof bar is also screwed 

 snug to each purlin, upon which 

 it rests. 



There is absolutely no movement of 

 bars away from the purlins which 

 is so often the cause of glass break- 

 age when pipe purlins are used. 

 Always we have built our Half 

 Iron Frame houses with angle 

 iron purlins. 

 If they are best for the all iron 



frame; we figure they are best for the half iron. 



All the points in both constructions are pointed out 



in our Supply Book. Send for one.
