*** For Scantlings 5^ inches deep, multiply the weights in this table 
by 1-21, and the deflections by -f5.=-909.f . 
* Example 1. — lied Pine 5 in. by 3 in., 5 feet long, with 15 cwts. uniformly loaded, (one- 
eighth the breaking weight) deflects -082 of an inch; and with 15 cwts. suspended from the 
middle, (one fourth the breaking weight) the deflection is -131 of an inch. 
f* Example 2.— Red Pine 5i in. by 3 in., 5 feet long, with 15 x 1-21 = 18-15 cwts. 
uniformly loaded, (one-eighth the breaking weight) deflects '082 x ^ = -075 of an inch; and 
with 1815 cwts. suspended from the middle, (one-fourth the breaking weight) the deflection 
is -131 X |o = .ii9 of ail
