This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1853 Excerpt: ...rafters is quite essential; and that in the great French cathedrals without central towers is very remarkable. Nowhere else, however, have either valley junctions or hipped terminations to roofs been attempted on a sufficient scale to call for much contrivance; which they certainly would, if the principle of saving material, rather than work, were to be carried out by light and numerous trusses; here becoming incomplete or "jack" trusses. Those jack-rafters indeed that extend from a valley-rafter up to the ridges, could only need trussing for support, and not for tie; as their feet, meeting on the valley-piece, balance each other's push. But the jack-rafters that rise from a wall, and are terminated above by a hip, should have their feet restrained; and this (whether they be strutted or not) is most easily to be done by ties across diagonally, in the plane of the wall-plates, each connecting the feet of two rafters at equal distances from the corner. One such tie, called a dragging-piece, is often introduced, and should be always, both on this account and to increase the hoop-like connection of the wall-plates, and make the angle at their junction invariable by any inequality of thrust on them. As for parallel roofs, enclosing between them long gutters (often miscalled valleys), though sometimes occurring to a small extent in Gothic churches, they are evidently unsuited to any latitude in which either snow or heavy rain falls. For snow (especially if the roofs be steep enough to throw it off) will soon fill these channels, and then the upper layers, melting first, will overflow them. And heavy rain collected from both slopes into so narrow and almost level a channel, will be liable to do the same before it has time to run away. And though this mig...
