Thepieces which make up the largestpart of the wall frame are thefilKng-in or intermediatestuds. These, as the name im-plies, are used merely to fill upthe frame made by the otherheavier pieces, and afford a nail-ing surface for the boarding,which covers the frame on theoutside, and the lathing, whichcovers it on the inside. The fill-ing-in studs are usually placed 16 inches apart, measured from thecenter of one stud to the center of the next. In especially good. Fig. 117.

In no case should they be placed more than 16inches apart, even in the lightest work. The studs are made thefull width of the wall, usually 4 inches, but sometimes in largebuildings (such as churches) 5 or even 6 inches and their thicknessis almost always 2 inches, 2X4 inches being the more usual dimen-sions. The lengths of the intermediate studs are made to fit the restof the frame. In the braced frame, there must necessarily be a great deal ofcutting of the intermediate studding, because all the large pieces aremade the full width of the wall and the intermediate stud-ding must be cut to fit between them. In the balloonframe, however, the intermediate studding in all casesextends clear up from the sill to the plate, and no cut-tin
