For roofs ; that of fig. 2, if well put together, will be sufficiently strong if the bearing should be extended to eighty feet, fig. 3. Must have two columns for the support of each pair of principal rafters. 84 AMERICAN BUILDER'S COMPANION. PLATE XLII. FIG. 1. Shows a lb«m in which a roof may be framed, where you wish a dome to rise above the level of the plates. I have made use of this example, where it had seventy feet bearing, without the least settlement. * FIG. 2.
