Dome cost halved by design permitting movable falsework
New solutions developed in design of new municipal Memorial Auditorium in Dallas, Tex; 300-ft diam dome roof divided into 16 separated, triangular or pie-sliced shaped elements but ting against central circular plate; each pair of opposing elements constitute self-supporting arch; only enough falsework required to support one combined unit; falsework made in form of movable travelers on rails.
