COMPARISON OF BETHLEHEM 



GIRDER BEAMS 

 WITH GIRDERS OF STANDARD BEAMS 



The difference in weights does not include separators for assembling the 

 Standard Beams into girders. The weights of such separators vary from about 

 1.5 pounds per foot for 8-inch beams to about 5.5 pounds per foot for 24-inch 

 beams. The actual economy in weight of the Bethlehem Girder Beams is in- 

 creased to the same extent.
