Parts of the truss and rafter Included between numbers 

 1, 2 and 3 are assembled at our factory whenever possi- 

 ble, and shipped to the Job ready for quick erection. 

 The cross-tie connecting the truss at "2," and the sag 

 rod extending from the rldge-jolnlng plate, are bolted 

 in place afterwards.

Every Fitting 



in the Steel Frame Work 



of Every Lord & Burnham House 



is Forged or Malleable Iron 



'T^HAT statement is absolutely true with 

 one possible exception. The roof bar 

 clasp that fastens the bar to the angle iron 

 eave plate is cast iron. There is no twisting 

 strain on them that ever caused them to crack, 

 either when being put up or afterwards. 

 So cast iron fully answers the purpose. 



But when it comes to column caps, you 

 know how cast iron fittings will snap in two, 

 when you give the bolt an extra turn to 

 make sure it's surely tight. 



You can turn up the bolts until you strip 

 the threads on every one of our malleable 

 column fittings, and they will never crack. 



Then consider the gusset plates at the 

 eave; or where they bind together the truss- 



both are sheared steel. Steel, shear cut and 

 cold punched to fit. You well know there 

 isn't anything better for the purpose. 



Take the little angle lug that fastens the 

 rafter cap to the iron rafter; it is not cast. 

 Neither is it a piece of angle iron chopped off. 

 It is a piece of forged steel shaped directly 

 from a flat piece. Pick one up. Look it over 

 carefully and see how perfectly true it is 

 shaped. 



Admittedly, we did used to use cast iron 

 fittings, and even chop up angle iron; but just 

 as soon as we found out there was a better 

 way, we promptly did it that way. Which, 

 as you know, is the Lord & Burnham way 

 of doing things.
