A-frames aid erection of 300-ft trusses
Based on experience with 300-ft roof truss spans in other plants, timber A-frames were used for steel erection on recent war factory in highly effective manner; trusses were designed with cantilever overhang to prevent stress transfer; suspended trusses are 172 ft long; close timing on erection schedules simplified handling 12,000 tons of steel.
