They may also be made with one door sliding on another which is hinged at the side to swing both doors out when the entire opening is needed—a type gen¬ erally used where only one shaft is available for both passengers and freight. Both hollow metal and Kalomein constructions are widely used in all the above arrangements. They may be designed for any number or size of lights, although the most inexpensive style is the single panel in either metal or glass. A special door for passenger elevator use has been de¬ veloped in the “Universal” (V-U) door described below and illustrated on opposite page. TYPE V-U SLIDING AND SWINGING DOORS Sliding Type Description and Use —These doors are designed for use on Passenger Elevator shaft openings where a good appearance must be combined with a moderate price. They have the good qualities of the hollow metal door without the excessive cost which attends its installation, and can be fur¬ nished in many different designs to fit surrounding conditions. In general we prefer to furnish the doors only, allowing the purchaser to provide the sills, frames and hardware, but where so desired, we will furnish the entire installation as one unit. Any standard type of hanger may be used in connection with the standard reinforcing which is placed in the top of the door, and where barlocks or closers are used, we will include proper rein¬ forcing if instructed to do so. See opposite page for details. Specifications —Furnish V-U type doors are sold by A. F. Wagner Architectural Iron Works. The top and middle rails and the stiles to be 3 y 2 " wide, the bottom rail to be 10" wide. All stiles and rails to be 1%" thick and constructed of No. 18 gauge furniture metal. Stiles and rails must be inter¬ locked together, electrically welded and then filled and rubbed so that the joints are smooth. Where shown on details, cork deadening strips are to be inserted in stiles and rails. Tee shaped guide strips are to be attached to the bottom of the door and so designed as to travel freely in the slots provided in the sills. Where panels of the single thickness type indicated by the suffix “S” are desired, the panel is to be constructed of one sheet of No. 18 gauge furniture metal. Where panels of the double thickness type indicated by the suffix “D” are desired, the panel is constructed of two sheets of No. 20 gauge furniture metal separated by y± composition board the entire area of the panel. In either case, the metal of the panel must be fastened to the metal of the stiles and rails by means of interlocking joints lapping over the ends of the panel %" on the elevator side of the door. The joints between the stiles, rails and panels shall be concealed by continuous moldings secured by lock strips attached to the body of the door. No exposed screws or bolts will be allowed in the construction of this door. Where glass panels occur, removable moldings are to be provided, these moldings being se¬ cured in place by means of oval head screws. Enameling —Where so specified these doors can be finished in baked enamel of the flat solid color type or in a grained finish to match the surrounding woodwork. Frames —Pressed steel frames of the one-piece type are largely used with this door when shopcoat finish is specified. The combination of false frame and casing is used where enameled work is desired. See page 37. Where frames are bought locally care should be used to see that lintel filler plate and vertical facia plates are provided. Glazing —We do not include glass in any of our quotations. We will construct the doors for the reception of glass, arranged according to any of the standard designs shown. When ordering V-U type doors, much time will be saved if there is included with the order a sketch showing the frame and sill construction and the sideroom and clearance which is available. Swinging Type For openings where the Underwriters’ label is not required, a considerable saving in cost may be made by using swinging doors of similar construction to that shown on opposite page, instead of the more expensive design of hollow metal doors. The wearing qualities and finish of the two types of doors are practically equal. A. F.

Panels are insulated to retard the transmission of heat from one side to the other by compressed asbestos board, fe in. thick, placed between steel plates forming panels. The interior surface of stiles and rails is insulated to deaden metallic sound and retard the transmission of heat. All seams are interlocking and all joints process welded at miters so as to make them invisible. The rails are reinforced with steel stiffeners secured and welded to them and extending the full width of the door. Steel rein¬ forcement is provided for hardware. See page 39 for details and paneling styles. Finish —Holl-O-Metal doors are regularly finished in prime coat but can be furnished in any flat color or grained to match any wood or other material. Frames and Trim —Designed for office buildings, theaters, hotels, hospitals, public buildings, stores, residences, etc. Trim and moldings are made in a large number of styles and shapes. (See page 37.) Underwriters’ Approval —Doors, frames and trim have been approved by the Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc., of the National Board of Fire Underwriters after thorough examination (and tests. They are regularly inspected and labeled at our factory for openings in stair and elevator shafts, corridors, partitions and exterior walls. Limitations: Single swinging doors for openings not exceeding 4' in width nor 10' in height; doors in pairs for openings not exceeding 8' in width nor 10' in height. Glass panels allowed in fire-escape openings up to 720 sq. inches, not exceeding 54" in height. For corridor and room partitions glass panels may not exceed 1296 square inches. Specifications:— (1) Hollow Metal Fireproof Doors —All door openings where so indicated on the drawings shall be hung with Hollow Metal Fireproof Doors as sold by A. F. Wagner, Architectural Iron Works. (2) Work to be Furnished by the Manufacturer —The manufacturer shall furnish, freight allowed to freight sta¬ tion nearest building site, the following material: (a) Hollow Metal Fireproof Doors for all openings as required by the drawings; (b) all doors to be properly crated for shipment. (3) Sizes —All doors shall be 1 % in. thick and of sizes as indicated by the drawings. (4) Finish —All doors shall be finished as follows: [describe finish desired for the various doors]. Samples of finish to be submitted for the architect’s approval. (5) Hardware —All hardware intended to be attached to doors shall be furnished, carrying charges prepaid, by the (hardware) contractor at the factory of the manufacturer. This hardware shall be fitted to the doors by the manufacturer before shipment. (6) Glazing —Doors when so indicated on the drawings shall be arranged for glazing by the manufacturer; glazing to be done by others. (7) Hanging —Doors shall be hung by the general contractor. (8) Shop Drawings —The manufacturer shall furnish shop drawings in duplicate for the architect’s approval. (9) Underwriters’ Approval —All doors described under the heading of hollow metal fireproof doors shall bear the Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc., label for the service for which they are intended. NOTE: In specifying Kal-O-Mine doors mention whether they are to be labeled or non-labeled. KAL-O-MINE (Metal Covered) The paneled metal-covered or Kal-O-Mine doors and frames are widely used where the cost of Holl-O-Metal ma¬ terial is prohibitive. The chief objection to this type of construction is due to the many inferior Kalamein prod¬ ucts which have been on the market and have failed to stand up. We do not offer price competition with these doors which have sold at prices lower than ours for these reasons: 1. Our cores are built of kiln-dried lumber pi-operly tenoned and constitute good doors even before the metal covering is applied, while some Kalamein doors are light metal shells filled with pieces of wood, offering little resistance to wear and tear. 2. Our moldings are of hollow metal type, cold drawn furniture metal, while some moldings are stamped from sheets and others are merely formed over small wood cores. 3. Our panels and moldings are interlocked in assembling to stiles and rails while some moldings are nailed or tacked on with small nails. 4. Our stiles and rails as well as moldings are drawn in a straight line with sharp corners, while many Kala¬ mein doors show wavy lines instead of clean-cut drawn lines. 5. Our labeled Kal-O-Mine doors are furnished with an approved steel frame while some “labeled” Kalamein doors are sold with non-labeled Kalamein frames which are not acceptable to the Underwriters. Our Kal-O-Mine doors offer a saving compared with hollow metal but without sacrificing quality in appearance or endurance. Finish—Kal-O-Mine doors are regularly finished in prime coat, but can be enameled in flat color or grained to match other trim. For Underwriters’ approval and specifications see same headings above, under “Holl-O-Metal.” See page 39 for details and styles of paneling. 5 A. F.

WAGNER ARCHITECTURAL IRON WORKS, MILWAUKEE iimiiiiiimmmiiiiiiiiiiimHiiiiiimmimimmimiimiiiiiimiiiiiiiJHiiiimmiiiiiiminiiiiiiimiimimiiiiiiiiim ROLLING FIRE DOORS We sell all types of steel rolling doors and shutters. They are composed of steel interlocking slats that coil above opening, being counterbalanced by springs. Ends of slats travel up and down in grooves bolted at each side of opening. The slats are rolled channel-shaped, affording greatest strength with least material; and have a close, tight joint that is practically smoke, fire and weather-proof. Ends of slats are reinforced with end lock, which prevents longitudinal separation, takes the wear, and reduces friction in grooves. Either side of slat sheds water. Installation—Doors are placed to coil above the opening or under the lintel. They require 3 inches to 6 inches sideroom and 15 inches headroom for openings 12 feet 0 inches high or less, and 1 inch headroom addi¬ tional per foot of height above this. Operation—Doors may be operated by hoist, gearing, or simply by hand, to suit any conditions. If used as fire-doors they can be equipped with automatic closing device, when specified. The automatic device in¬ cludes a governor which prevents rapid closure that would injure the door or menace human life. Besides man¬ ual and geared hoist operation, we can furnish crank hoist for extremely heavy shutters and can arrange to operate the door on the opposite side of the wall from that on which it is installed. Advantages—These doors are classed among the best fire-retardants for window, door, partition, elevator- shaft, and fire-wall openings. They are neat in appearance, occupy very little room, and if properly cared for will last for years. Blue-prints and instructions for erection are sent with each shipment. Underwriters’ Approval—Our doors and shutters are approved by the National Board of Fire Underwriters, and are regularly inspected and labeled by the Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc., as follows: INFORMATION SHEET Showing a few standard types of Lintel Construction, Jamb Guards and Sills. When ordering Rolling Doors, prompt service icill be facili¬ tated if the dimensions denoted by the various letters are furnished with the order.

ROLLING STEEL DOORS The nomenclature by numbers and letters has been selected with the idea of furnishing a simple and exact method of identifying each door without further description. In general, there are two types of Rolling Doors. The first type consists of those mounted on the face of the wall for which “D” brackets are furnished and to which are given the letter “D.” In the second class belong all of those mounted under the lintel and which we desigate by the letter “U.” The second letter always refers to the method of operation—“M” for manual, “H” for hoist and “C” for crank. The letters “I” and “O” refer to the position of the shutters, whether on the in¬ side or outside of the building. Where shutters are placed on one side of the wall and operated from the opposite side by a chain hoist, the letters “TW” are used. The numbers refer to the particular classification and use for which the door is designed, and taken in connection with the letters described above, give a very complete specification of the door and the purpose for which it is to be used. Construction No. 20:—Simple type of non-labeled shutter mounted on face of the wall. (See Page 34 for illustration.) Construction No. 41:—Simple type of non-labeled shutter mounted under the lintel. These two types are most frequently used on exterior openings not exposed to fire hazards and are not automatic unless so specified. They are made in various gauges according to the size and location of the openings and are operated manually or with chain hoists. Construction No. 20 can also be operated with crank arrangement or by a chain hoist from opposite side of wall. Construction No. 60:—Simple type of labeled shutter mounted on face of wall or under lintel as desired. This type is not automatic and is generally used on exterior openings, adjacent to a fire hazard which is not sufficiently close to necessitate the use of automatic shutters. This type is similar in appearance to Type No. 41 under lintel and No. 20 on face of wall, with the exception that all the requirements of the Underwriters’ Laboratories have been met and the door bears their label. Construction No. 61:—This type is identical in construction with No. 60 except that it is equipped with automatic closing device. This type is generally used on exterior openings where fire hazards occur sufficiently close to cause the Underwriters to demand automatic closing de¬ vices. Construction No. 33:—-This construction is made in No. 20 gauge or heavier if size of openings require. It is labeled by the Underwriters for use on Vertical Hatches and Corridor and Room Par¬ titions and is always automatic. Must have continuous End Locks and Baffle Plates and Governor. This construction is mounted either under the lintel or on the face of the wall and is operated man¬ ually or by means of Chain Hoist from either side of wall as desired. Construction No. 33-33:—This type is similar in construction to No. 33 except that it is always made of No. 16 gauge material and is labeled by the Underwriters for use on fire walls. This type is mounted on face of wall only, and is operated either manually or by means of Chain Hoist as de¬ sired. Construction No. 33-3:—This type is similar in construction to Type No. 33-33 except that it is mounted under the lintel only. (See Page 34 for illustration.) Where openings occur in fire walls it is necessary to protect each opening with one of types 33-33 or 33-3 on each side of the wall. Whenever automatic labeled doors are supplied on openings of such size as to necessitate the use of auxiliary gearing, automatic drop hoists are supplied as shown on Page 34, Figure 4. Construction No. 65:—These shutters are used exclusively on windows exposed to fire hazards and are mounted either on the face of the wall or under the lintel. This type is similar in con¬ struction to No. 60 except that it is equipped with Testing Device so that the shutters can be tripped from the outside of the building without releasing the fuse link. The shutter is put in operation again by raising it to an open position with a pole. Where shutters are of large size a reduction gear attachment is applied by means of which the shutter can be raised with a crank. 9 A. F.

When in a closed position the mullion is locked to floor plate by slide bolts. The shutter itself is similar to Con¬ struction No. 20-D-H-I. Wicket Doors—Where exteriors are protected by a series of large rolling steel doors, it is often desirable to install access doors to admit of individuals passing in and out without operating the large doors. Illustration above shows wicket door hung in a steel frame hinged by ex¬ tension arms from the closest jamb. The frame itself is made of standard shapes formed into grooves in which the slats travel. When the entire opening is needed the rolling door is raised in the usual manner and the wicket door aim frame swung back against the wall clear of the opening. 11 A. F.

WAGNER ARCHITECTURAL IRON WORKS, MILWAUKEE lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMlllllllllillilllllllllHIIIIIIIMIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllM CROSS HORIZONTAL FOLDING DOORS The advantages of this type of door for warehouses, private and commercial garages, railway freight houses, etc., are apparent. It is simple in construction; easily operated; can be made from wood, steel, Kalamein or tin-clad construction; size and weight unlimited; may have glass in upper panels, requiring no transom; and most important of all, these doors occupy no valuable space, open or closed. There were some objections to the old-fashioned weight-counterbalanced folding doors due to the weight box which took up valuable jamb-room and was subject to the wear and tear of bumping from loaded trucks. Our spring-balanced folding doors are operated in the same way as rolling steel shutters, eliminating the weights and weight-box, saving jamb-room, requiring less head-room, and with practically no up-keep cost. These doors can be mounted on the wall inside or outside with canopy effect. They can be operated from the opposite side of wall when required. It is also possible by special detailing to hinge the top leaf under the lintel when there is little available head-room. The table of head-room given below applies to the standard product as illustrated. We can still furnish the old type of weight-balanced door, which is slightly cheaper, and which requires more space, but we recommend the use of the spring-balanced construction. Specifications (1) Cross Horizontal Folding Doors —All door openings (where indicated on drawings) (marked horizontal fold¬ ing door) shall be equipped with Va¬ riety Cross Horizontal Folding Doors (Variety Canopy Cross Horizontal Fold¬ ing Doors) of standard wood (tin clad) (corrugated iron) construction, as sold by A.

Construction—Saino fire doors are constructed of two walls of cross laid (corrugations running vertically on one side and hori¬ zontally on the other) No. 22-U. S. gauge corrugated galvanized steel, with air chambers and as¬ bestos between. Patented tele¬ scopic channels and joints provide for expansion and contraction. Vertical edges are reinforced with wrought iron bars bolted and riveted to the corrugated wall, forming - a rigid construc¬ tion. Advantages—Contain no wood or other material subject to com¬ bustion, dry rot or decay; are lighter than any other standard fire door, weighing only 5 lbs. per sq. ft.; are durable and will not require repairs; all structural parts are visible; initial cost is but slightly higher than that of other standard fire doors, and cost of maintenance is done away with. Types—Saino fire doors with complete automatic ha rdware are made in any type in which other standard fire doors are made. Type No. 79. Inclined Track, Single Sliding Door. COUNTERBALANCED DOORS for Freight Elevator Shafts The ideal door installation for freight elevator shafts is the counterbalanced type, for the following reasons: 1. These doors hang inside the shaft and are thus protected from falling objects in case of fire. 2. They take up no valuable space either open or closed. 3. Being counterbalanced, there are few parts to get out of order. The doors operate easily since the only resistance is the small amount of friction of the moving parts. 4. With the electric interlock the opening must be closed before the elevator car can operate, thus protecting workmen against accident. 5. These doors, both steel and tin-clad, bear the Underwriters’ label for vertical shaft openings, obtaining the lowest rate of insurance. 6. Safety gates are eliminated by these doors which are of the normally closed type. The details and operation of our counter balanced steel (Vamanco) and tin-clad (Varclad) doors are very similar, and the chief difference lies in the construction of the panels. Our preference is for the steel door which is lighter than the tin-clad, reducing wear and tear to a minimum. The problem of dry-rot is eliminated in using Vamanco doors. The trucking angle, affording a firm smooth support for passing trucks, and the electric interlock, as well as the other details shown on the next two pages are available with both steel and tin-clad doors. The cuts (next 3 pages) illustrate the Vamanco door, but with very slight differences apply also to Varclad construction. The underwriters’ label is placed on Vamanco and Varclad doors for openings up to 8' in width and 10' in height. 1G A. F.

Circuit open Wagner Ball Bearing Elevator Door Hanger, Door Closer and Check and Electric Safety Interlock as ap¬ plied to Two-Speed Type Elevator Enclosure, showing doors closed and locked. WAGNER ELECTRIC SAFETY INTERLOCKS The illustrations opposite show the construction of the Wagner Electric Safety Interlock and its relation to the Wagner Elevator Door Closer. One illustration shows the position of the Interlock Contact Slide when both the doors and the elevator control circuit are open. The other shows the position of the Interlock Contact Slide when the doors and the elevator control circuit are closed. The operating principle of the Wagner Electric Safety Interlock is clearly illustrated. The Contact Fingers are connected in series with the elevator control circuit. When the doors are closed the circuit of the Interlock installation is also closed by means of a copper insert at the top of the bakelite slide which completes the circuit between the con¬ tact fingers. When the doors are open the slide is pushed upward, withdrawing the copper insert from between the contact fingers, thereby opening the elevator control circuit and making it impossible to operate the car. The bronze contact fingers are held firmly against the copper insert by heavy springs insuring firm contact and freedom from interruption due to poor contact. The copper insert is made especially heavy to provide a good contact between the bronze fingers, without permitting the bronze fingers to touch the bakelite slide, which prevents any possibility of short circuiting by the dragging over of copper onto the slide. The springs in no way function as conductors, the circuit being shorted around them by means of stranded jumpers which are fastened to the binding posts and firmly soldered to the contact fingers; although the switch is so constructed that a perfect contact would be made even though the jumpers were omitted. A piece of fibre rod is inserted in the bakelite slide di¬ rectly below the contact. Should the bakelite slide become disconnected and drop down, the fibre cross piece would rest on the switch fingers and prevent the copper insert from making contact and closing the circuit while the in¬ terlock slide was disconnected. The connection between the bakelite slide and connecting rod is a brass casting into the socket of which the bakelite slide is firmly riveted, which makes it practically impos¬ sible for the connection to break at this point. 20 A.

For warehouses, docks, car-barns, factories, shops, barns, garages, and all buildings where doors must both be pushed back on the same side, this arrangement is desirable. For large buildings—a street car building, warehouse or freight shed, for instance—parallel doors in any number can be arranged so as to permit entrance at any point. With this arrangement any one or several of the doors can be opened pro¬ viding as large or as small an entrance as occasion demands. Track may be hung to ceiling, or side of building as desired, inside or outside. If one side of opening has wall space equal to width of one door, by extending tracks that distance the full opening is available for use at once. If tracks are same length as opening, space of one door is always covered.

The fine narrow lines and effective hardware designs make these windows distinctive in beauty. Crittall Case¬ ments have ten distinct points of utility aside from their beauty. They are: Permanent Low in Upkeep Weathertight Fire-resistive Easy to operate They never rattle Do not warp or twist Cannot stick Ventilate without draft Offer maximum daylight They are made in many types—side hung to open in or out; vertically pivoted; top hung; bottom hung; horizontally pivoted; folding casements and doors opening in or out; reversible projected. The factory prefers to have the erection specified with the windows, and send their own experts to handle the installation. When erected in this way they guarantee their windows to be weathertight. Reversible Windows This sash is designed primarily for office buildings, schools and hospital and offer a new flexibility in ventilation—from the merest crack to 100 per cent. The sash when opened stays in any position without fastening; hinges of solid drawn bronze secure the sash to a sliding bar, the ends of which travel up and down in brass-lined channels at the jambs. They may be reversed to permit easy, quick and safe cleaning of both sides from the interior. They are made of the finest materials by the same craftsmen who have built the Crittall Casement reputation—yet their price is not prohibitive for schools and office buildings. For special locations they can be supplied with the Under¬ writers label. Note—A Beautifully illustrated catalog is yours for the asking. Write us. Cottage Casements A special type of light-weight standardized casement window has been designed for small residences and apartment houses. They open out on projected hinges for inside cleaning.

We also manufacture any other designs of stairways specified by architects. And we are in position to furnish detail drawings with our estimates, according to architects’ specifications. Construction Our construction provides a light, simple, inexpensive, strong, durable, non-combustible, and easily assembled stairway. It is adaptable to office, hotel, warehouse, factory, school and hospital construction; in fact, any building where fire resistant construction is required. The stair is formed of bent plate stringers, treads and risers made of one piece of No. 12 blue annealed steel; platforms made of No. 12 blue annealed steel plate recessed for 3" filling, reinforced with the necessary channels and tees, all securely bolted and riveted together. All rivets in our stairs are driven by machines insuring a noiseless connection. Our construction is reinforced at nosing which prevents the nosing from breaking away from the tread filling. This is the only stair that will absolutely stand up at this point under the constant wear and tear the tread nosing must withstand. The stair assembled forms a solid mass which is free from vibration under loading stress both vertically and laterally. The strength of construction insures the limit of efficiency against dam¬ age by failure in case of fire. Design On the following pages are shown typical details of standard stairs—treads, stringers, newels, and railings, which may be combined economically into stairways suitable to any class of building from the boiler house to the finest club or hotel. In addition, we can build stairs to suit any archi¬ tectural design. But it is economy to use standards which offer in a wide range. The risers may be plain or paneled. The treads can be arranged for marble, slate, cement, terrazzo, rezilite, asphalt, mosaic, cork, carpet, linoleum or any composition with or without sanitary cove. The soffits of stairs are left open and present a neat finished appearance, but can also be arranged for plaster soffits if desired. Installation When desired we will include the erection in our stair bids. Because of standardization in the manufacturing processes you will find our stairs unusually easy to erect. All stairs are shipped knocked down and properly marked. This facilitates the handling as well as the erection in the building. Each flight is fitted, tested and inspected at our factory before shipment. This insures quick economical installation in the building, thus putting the stairs into immediate service; the * tread filling is then put in when the structure is nearing completion. Comparative Cost Our Stairway complete with railings and newels, with treads filled, is lower in cost than stairs of all concrete with iron railing and metal nosings and has the further advantage of better appear¬ ance and greater durability. On account of its lightness it saves still more in reducing the size of structural supports required. 27 A. F.

Steel Base, Lead and Carborun¬ dum Filled Treads In the Safety Tread, which has been in use in this country for upwards of 20 years, the anti-slip Lead or composition is dove-tailed into the Steel Base in such a way that it can not mushroom or spread, and at all times of¬ fers an anti-slip surface to the foot. This type of tread is universally used in the best buildings and depots, over 5,000,000 square feet having been laid in this country alone. In over $400,000 worth of accident claims, due to falls on stairways, coming before the courts in damage suits, the decision has been invariably in favor of the defendants where Safety Treads were in use. This simply means that in the eyes of the judges and juries of this country owners have adopted the best possible means of safeguarding the public when they have installed Safety Treads. This absolute protection is appreciated by discrim¬ inating owners, architects and builders. «.

All Hangers are forged from rolled steel, having a guar¬ anteed ultimate tensile strength of 56,000 pounds per square inch and each Hanger will carry six times more than the load ordinarily applied in actual use. Hangers carry the hooks over the top of the header and are held in place hy two heavy nails. The flanges fitting on the side of the header extend the entire depth of the Hanger and are also spiked to the header, which holds the Hanger solidly in place. The Hanger flanges are so shaped and grooved that the nail head goes in flush. The flanges are stiffened at the top where angle is formed and where strength is required. The use of these Hangers require only that the joist be squared off—no framing necessary. All Hangers are provided with a spiking hole in the seat of the Hanger which permits firmly anchoring the joist and which also allows the joist to drop out of the Hanger in case of fire without damage to headers or wall.

STEEL POST CAPS Three-Way Poet Cap Four-Wap Poet Cap Our three and four way Steel Post Caps are made to fit every size and all variations in the width and depths in the girders and beams. Brackets for three and four way beams provide no less than 6-inc-h bearing for beams and are attached with %-inch rivets to main channel as shown. All Steel Post Caps are right in design, dimensions and construction. They fit the post and girders perfectly, and are especially adapted to conditions requiring great strength without sacrificing appearance. These caps provide no less than 6-inch bearing or over¬ hang, at each end for girders. Upper channel is made of ik-inch steel 6 inches deep. Channel is mounted on continuous ring socket formed from 2% x 2% x ^-inch angle. Rivets are %-inch. All necessary bolt included. STEEL POST BASE Post Base Steel Post Base, as illustrated, offers a more desirable style of base plate of evident advantages, as will be noted by observing the sizes of angles and plate used in its fabri¬ cation. These bases are carried in stock in sizes listed on next page. BRICK WALL HANGER Wall Hangers are a combination of standard Hangers and specially made plates. The plate which extends into the wall is connected to the Hanger by four rivets, one in each side flange and one in each hook. This gives the assembled Hanger great rigidity. This Hanger carries on the wall without breaking mortar joints. For supporting beams up to 8 inches in width the plate is 4 inches deep on the wall; for beams over 8 inches in width the plate is 8 inches deep on the wall. These ample wall bearings eliminate the possibility of crushing the edges of masonry. The turn-up at the back of the plate firmly anchors the Hanger in the wall. The timbers are self-releasing in case of fire. Insurance rates are reduced by the use of Wall Hangers. 36 A. F.

It is made entirely from steel, with a large hopper chute, and is not to be compared with the old-fashioned cast-iron door generally of¬ fered at this price. It cannot crack, break, sag or rust; it is weather-tight, burglar-proof and adds to the appearance of the building. It is CHEAPER TO INSTALL THAN AN ORDINARY CASEMENT WINDOW. The chute is unlocked from the inside by simply pulling a cord attached to the catch and leading to any convenient part of the basement. The front then automatically drops forward forming a perfect hopper 16x24 inches. When the door is again pushed back into place it is automatically locked and cannot be opened from the outside. In designing this chute particular atten¬ tion has been given to the requirements of the builder. The dimensions are 18!/2 by 26 1 t> inches, which fit perfectly between either bricks or standard cement blocks. A heavy steel retaining flange has been pro¬ vided across top and down both sides which is buried in the foundation of the building and affords an anchorage which any amount of abuse cannot loosen. This chute is made entirely from steel. It is extremely strong and simple in construc¬ tion and is, by far, the LARGEST and CHEAPEST hopper chute on the market. Model B This model is made with an all steel front, instead of glass panel. When open it provides a hopper chute 16x24 inches and may be opened without climbing over the coal pile. It can be fur¬ nished to operate from the cellar stairs. Notice parti¬ cularly the heavy steel flanges on top and sides for anchoring in the foundation. This chute is cheaper to in¬ stall than a casement win¬ dow. Stock Sizes Open Model B 16"and 24" Chutes measure 18" and 2614" outside of flanges, and are carried in stock for both 8" and 12" walls. Model A Model A This Chute is unlocked by simply pulling a cord, which may be run to any part of the basement or kitchen. The front automatically drops forward, forming a perfect hopper chute. When closed from the front it automatic¬ ally locks, and then serves as a weather-tight, burglar- proof basement window, flooding the coal room with daylight. 38 A. F.
