inOQK— The ridge is in two pieces and 

 so milled that the cap has an absolutely even 

 overhang on both sides. The cap is angled 

 out to take the too edge of the sash, making 

 it weather tight. The purlin cross tie is sup- 

 ported by the steel ridge rod which goes 

 through the ridge and is bolted on the out- 

 side. The roof bars are not toe-nailM to the 

 ridge, but screwed to it by a steel ridge 

 bracket. The ridge is shipped with these 

 brackets all spaced and screwed in place.

In place of supporting the roof with steel rafters, running, as they 

 do in our Iron Frame House, from the eave plate to the ridge, and tying each 

 rafter together with angle iron purlins for the support of the roof bars, we use 

 for the main support our Giant 

 Arch, with its V-shaped bracing and 

 ridge rod support. 



This arch is made of pipe columns 

 set in adjustable cast iron foot 

 pieces; the columns being clamped 

 to the purlins, which every 8 feet 

 4 inches, are tied by a croEs pipe 

 tie. This cross tie is both braced 

 and supported by pipe braces run- 

 ning diagonally from the center of 

 the cross tie to the pipe purlins 

 placed midway between the ridge 

 and main pipe purlin. 



As a still further tie and brace, a 

 solid steel rod extends from the 

 center of the cross tie right through 

 the ridge and is bolted on the top 

 of the ridge outside. 



The main purlin is secured to the 

 gable rafter by a specially strong
