Some Special Things 

 About Our Pipe Frame House 



Take just the clamp column fittings, for ex- 

 ample. 



You' have seen and no doubt used the one bolt 

 fitting and know that it sometimes slips. 



You are familiar with the two bolt one, and 



know that it likewise has a way of giving way 



under extra strains. 



Admittedly we have made and used both kinds. 



Hut that was then. 



This is now. 



All the column fittings on our Standard'Pipe 

 Frame or Semi-Iron houses are now three bolt 

 clamps. 



Hut that isn't all, they are malleable iron, in- 

 stead of cast. 



You can screw the bolts up until you strip the 

 threads and the clamps will never crack. 



Now take a look at our ridge. 



See that piece of steel screwed to the ridge and 

 onto both bars. 



There's no need to tell you how important they 

 are in strengthening the construction. 



Ridge showing how ridge 

 bracket is used. 



The no-leak roof bar 



splice castings as 



made at the 



purlin. 



Then there's the splice bar fitting. 



No one makes one quite like it. See these bolts 

 going from top to bottom. Not screws, but 

 bolts. 



The metal tongue between the ends is just one 

 more precaution we take to make it leak-tight 



Notice how strong and workmanlike the whole 

 thing is. in combination with the pipe purlin 

 to which the bar is held by a strong galvanized 

 steel strap. 



And then there is the Giant Arch itself. 



But space is too small here to tell you even a 

 few of its strong points. 



But it's fully described and illustrated on page 

 42 of the Handy Hand Book. 



If you haven't one, send for one. 



If you want to "talk house," say when and 

 where, and we'll be there.
