An axiom of structural design is that a tie shall 

 be placed as near as possible to the point of sup- 

 port == com pare these two houses. ■ 



Notice the comparative details of attaching ties 

 to rafters =- of posts to rafters =- compare the details 

 at the gutters. 



The rafters in dne house look smaller than in the 

 other, because the top edge of the sashbar is flush 

 with the top edge of the rafter, while in the other 

 the sashbar rests on top of the rafter. This " Flush 

 Sashbar" feature is patented, and is one of the . 

 points of better design in our houses.
