Mqy Opcn New Field for Lumber

Washington, Nov. 15.-A method of roof truss design that rnay open up a new field in timber truss design was recently incorporated in the Sunday School building auditorium of the First Presbyterian Church in Nerv Orleans, La. This system departs {rom the conventionai rough structnral truss pattern, combir.ring rvorking and finishing members rvith smooth, finished joints to produce an economical and ornamental truss suitable for churches. synagogues, temples and other similar structures.

The truss, designed by Sam Stone & Son, Inc., architects and engineers, is of the scissors type rvith a 38-ft. span. It has a rise of approximately 8 ft. and a 9-ft. clear height altove the supports at the center. The l;ottom cl.rorcl is rnade up of trvo pieces of 2"x8" lumber rvith the top chorcl consisiing of trvo pieces of 7'x10" and one piece 3"xlf'. Modern split ring timber connectors and shear plate connectors are used in all connections.

All of the lumber used, except the ltottom facia and moulclirrgs, acts as stressed members as well as finished or "appearance" members, and with its smooth, flush joints the appearance of the truss is the same as if a sheathecl steel truss hacl been usecl.

A load test to determine the strength and rigidity of the trusses rvas conducted by the architect ancl contractor. A load ol 12,@O lbs. rvas applied to the truss, suspendecl by means of ropes which rvere attached to trvo movable platforms piled n'ith brick. The full load u,as equally dir.icled, 6,300 lbs. being placed on each platform. The test rvas made to determine the movement or spreacl at the rvalls. No inclication of either factor .ivas uoticecl b1' the architect or contractor clearly illustrating the l-rigl-r rigiclitland strength of the trusses. The equivalent loads or stresses set up b1' the test l.rave not been determined, but Mr. Stone declared it to be the approximate equivalent of the design load. The construction rvork tvas done bv Reimann Construction Co., Inc.. of Nerv Orleans.

WORLD'S FAIR BUILDING WILL BE SURFACED WITH NEW MATERIAL MADE OF CORK AND LIQUID RUBBER

Outside rvalls surfaced with an amazing neu. and versatile material macle of cork ancl liquid rubber, will be one of a number of unique features of the National Cash Register Company's building at the New York World's Fair 1939. Called "Monocork," this material is being used as srlrfacing for "The Road of Tomorrow" at the near-by Ford Building, and as a non-slip surface for the exciting Helicline which is a rvalkrvay leacling from the Perispl.rere to tl.re grouncl.
