Some ^old Up Points 

 Worth Upholding 



liefore .\on lipcide on Ih'' hoii-ie wni an' Buiiif,' ti 

 builii. liolil un a bit. ami cotisiii'M- -uim-Jof ihesc 

 iiolii up puinls in Ilit<lun«s lioube>. 



Tatio till' oiilunms for ivxaniiili'. 



A.- col mil IIS. llii-.\ an' pipe, lit; i^, any ot li'T ooluiiiii 



ISut liicro llic likeness stop.-.. 



It slops at tiie boitoni, before it -tart.s. 



Look at tlie lenler illustration, and you see whj . 



At tlie lop the t'olunin cap i.i bolted directly to 



the plate ihat splices the rafter and carries the 



trii" tie. 



The cap itS'lf ii bolted throu«h and through to 



the cohinin. 



So much for that hold up fraiuiiih' point. 



Now for how the rafter and purlin.^ are fa.itened 

 tot-ether. Take a look at the out below. See 

 that knee brace, and the ivay it first bolt.^ with 

 J bolls to the purlin. Then liolts to the rafter. 



Then screws to the r.ifter cat) itself. Compare 

 its .slrenf-'ih with the usual piece of antjle iron 

 utotf in short lenpths. 



After which, let's «o up the roof to the ridae. 



as shown at the risht. 



That part of the rafter and tru.>- from the col- 



umn cap 3plici' plate to the ridge, is framed at 

 the factory, all ready for lifting up into place. 



Plate No. 1 on both sides of the rafter, with its 

 angle No. J, is liroui;hl face to face, and bolted 

 loaelher. 



No. 3 i.s the anchor for the tru.ss rod which 

 stiffens the ridge. 



No I i< the truss rod 



r 

 No. 7 is the no leak ridge, so milled that the sash 



have sort of a pry tijiht movement, making it 



weather proof. 



Now figure on the fact I hat the raft<'r from the 

 column runs to the eave, where it bends and 

 continues straight to the cast iion post base, 

 similar in design to the column base. 



The r.ifler itself is no! below urade to rust. 

 It lias no splice plates at the eave to cumber it 

 up and cast shade. It's one solid piece from col- 

 umn cap to base. 



F'or the rest of them -both the hold-up and 

 hold-down points--see our Supply Book 



If you haven't one. send for it. 



And you know we no aii.\"here for busineos, or 



to talk business.
