This advantage is of much value inthe design as it means the elimination of the greatest of thenumerous limitations governing superstructure arrangement. The most economical design of this underframe demands theomission of the central cantilevers and hence the concentratedload coming upon the center sills, as at P* in the former case,will not be found in this case. The table, as altered to suitthese conditions, which will apply to an underframe of the typeshown in Figs. 6, 7 and 8, is shown in Fig. 9. In substituting values of Pn it must be remembered that inremoving P, the value of P3 is increased by the value of d cov-ering what is now 2d -f- e. (See Fig. 11, page 13.)
