HIP & VALLEY ROOF DESIGN FOR BUILDERS & DESIGNERS
The difficulty of making working shop drawings for roof connections at hip and valley can be appreciated by structural engineers.
This document, originally from the early 1900's, was created to cover practical working details for such construction and to present the analytic and graphic processes needed for their development.
From the designs included in this document, engineers and architects can determine the style of connection adapted to their demands readily and can specify the same for the structures they're in charge of.

HOUSE BUILDING & FRAMING - BUILDERS INSTRUCTIONS
The subject of framing, taken in its broadest sense, includes pretty nearly the entire structural field. By one of the most common uses of the term, whenever two members are joined or fastened together they are said to be framed together. More especially, this applies to the heavy or supported members of any structure.
Most framing, however, implies wood construction, as the timber framing of trestle bridges, heavy framing for barns or public buildings and the framing for houses of various sorts. This document originates from the minds of the early 20th century. It covers the art of framing in constructing the structures noted above with illustrations and detailed descriptions. The processes and rules of framing are easily laid out for the beginner and the experienced carpenter to follow.
