Run your eye along the purlins. 

 See the camber in them? That 

 camber prevents roof sag! 



Notice the combination 

 movable and stationary 

 sash with angle iron eaves. 

 The rafters and arch posts 

 are sixteen feet eight 

 inches apart, with inter- 

 mediate posts to support 

 the eaves. There is one 

 thing that this picture 

 does not show — steel sills 

 are used for both lines of 

 sash. 



And about those purlins agair, 

 those members which bind to- 

 gether and hold rigid the trus- 

 ses, they are, in AGMCO 

 houses, channels rather than 

 angles such as are used by 

 many other builders. They are 

 three inch channels weighing 

 six pounds per foot and will 

 carry perfectly for the full six- 

 teen feet eight inches and give 

 the roof a straight line. They 

 are double riveted and double 

 bolted with one-half inch ma- 

 terial. But why do we use 

 channels for purlins rather than 

 angles? First, because they 

 are stronger. Second, because 

 they cast far less shadow than 

 Q other shapes of the same weight.
