One of the applications shown is thefirst structural steel building ever erectedwithout the use of rivets. The elec-tric ars was employed throughout theentire construction to unite the structuralsteel members. Inasmuch as the entireconstruction was tested and approved bythe New York Bureau of Buildings, thearc welding process for this line of workhas passed from the experimental stage tothe practical commercial stage. Thetrusses are designed for a live weight of40 pounds per square foot, each truss sup-porting a panel of 800 square feet. Theywere tested at a load of 120 pounds to thesquare foot, or a total load of 48 tons onthe two trusses. The main advantages of arc welding, forthis work, are the elimination of the ne-cessity for fabricating the steel parts andthe saving of time in waiting for the g
