Although Sleel for general construction has been only recently Introduced, yet so rapid has been Its adoption thai all arctulecls and engineers who have kept pace with the lime appreciate Its advantages and adopt II for all work of any magni. tude in preference to wrought and ca~t iron. rhe advantages are greater strength and less weight, the malerial can be made to required specifications and can be inspected al all stages of ils manufacture. We have discontinued makmg hon Beams and Channels. We regard our sections of Sttltll Beams, Channels. Angles. elc_. as the most desirable. being the result 01 our elCperience. Some of them are lighter sections than made by other mills. We caU atlention to diagrams showing details. We are manufacturing Steel Columns 01 various kinds. notably the" Larimer Column," which is one 01 the best now on Ihe market. It has proved by lests made and comparison with olher Columns to be superior in strength, simplicity in construction. meth od 01 connecting. elc. I I 2 .I0HIS .. LAUGHUHS, LIMITt:O. Preface to Second Edition. In this second edition of STANOARD STEEL CON· STRUCTION, we present standard $~ctions 01 Steet Beams. Channels and An<Jles. as adopted by Ihe American Association of Steel ManufactuftlB, Janu ary. 1896, and new tables of properties and safe loads: also standard sizes and weighls of Larimer Columns. with tables of properties and sale loads. We also prtJSent diagrams of 20 inch Beams. and properties nnd safe loads of 20 and 24 inch Beams: ulso diagrams of additional shapes and standard detai Is 01 rool trusses. We have adopted a different mtJIhod of numbering our shapes, and call aUeolion 10 the new sy,km as shown herein. We have added 10 our 511*1 production an ~n·hearth basic steel plant of large capacity. and can supply Ihese shapes In Open-Htlarth Steel to standard specifications. So $.ltisfactor!! has been our product of Soft Besse r'l'(:r and O~n·Hearth Steel that we have discon· tinued Ihe manufacture of our brands of refined iron, and have substituted in all our work our special grades of steel. Our customers, who have used Ihe steet in large quantities. are thoroughly satisfied with the results., JONES & LAUGHLINS. LIMITED. CHICAGO. Jul!!, 1896. s JONr._ 6. LAUGHlIN_, LIMITr.O. Preface to Third Edition. We have now added Z bars to our manufacture for structural purposes. Tables gIvIng properties and safe loads when used as gIrders wl11 be found In this editIon. Also tables giving sIzes, weights and strength of Z bar columns. We desire to ca11 attentlon to the varIous types of steel columns, which are now at the command of the desIgner, with illustrations of standard connections. For light 10aJs a single beam. many times. will answer a11 requirements. See page 221 for strength of beams used for this purpose. For heavier load! the Larimer, Z bar or Nurlck column can be taken, according to the nature of the case. The table on page 65, gIvIng sIzes of bearing plates, will be handy. We show. on page 187. a system of corrugated flooring made of bent channels. This construction will prove useful for a great many purposes. Our tables of turnbuckles, sleeve nuts, clevIses, eye bars and cast washers, we hope will be found con venient. Pittsburgh, July, 1898. ~:23/ JONES" l4UG. ..
