Bruch OGca: SEATTIf more ago. This strenghtening was accomplished by rneaus of. 6x6 Douglas fir timbers in the corner of each leg. That the all-Douglas-fir derrick is straight as a die is evidenced by the vierv, taken from the ground looking up.

Another reason for particular interest in Murphy \Arell No. 25 is the modern Douglas fir laminated walking beam, shown extending from the derrick lower left, rvhich l>eam was built early in 1936 and has been in constant use since that time. The walking beam uses both horizontal anrl vertical laminations, with 2ft-inch TECO split ring connectors placed internally to develop resistance to horizorrtal shear. This walking beam was designed to overcome the deficiencies of solicl beams, viz., splitting and cl-recking, which sometimes affect the entire cross-section.

Along with the fifty-year-old derrick of Douglas fir rn'hich stands today in the heart of a Los Angeles resiclential district, near Beverly and Glendale Boulevards, and another timber veteran which is located right in the middle of La Cienega Boulevard, Los Angeles, this Murphy derrick evidences the fine structural value of Douglas fir and stands as constant proof ofits durability and adaptabilitv ttnder severe service cor.rclitions.
