Purlin and Header Used 



in Our Reconstructed 



Construction 



C PACING the rafters four feet 

 ^ wider apart than la our old 

 standard construction necessi- 

 tated making the purlins a bit 

 larger. This larger purlin, how- 

 ever, when secured to the rafter 

 by the usual short steel Itnee, 

 might have a tendency to sag a 

 bit. To prevent even the possi- 

 bility of such a thing, we de- 

 signed a special fitting which 

 extends several inches along both 

 under faces of the purlin. 



It serves the purposes of both 

 a lug and a brace. 



You might think that the 

 larger purlin, with this lug 

 brace, might make the frame

look rather heavy. But it 

 doesn't. You see you have a 

 third less rafters, posts and col- 

 umns, which gives so much 

 lighter an cfifect that the purlins 

 and lug brace are in perfect pro- 

 portion to the rest. 



The ventilation sash header is 

 placed on top of the purlin and 

 screwed securely to it. The 

 header is grooved to receive the 

 end of the glass, making a tight 

 joint. Drip from the sash is 

 carried off by the header gutter. 



The next ad will take up the 

 ridge and truss in our Recon- 

 structed Construction.
