It is possible to acquirevery effective supports in this way. There are no bolts to slip. The bracesare furnished in wood that will not spring when there is a heavy strain onthe beam. You can get quite a stronglever by this plan. Still another style for fixing up a beamfor hoisting purposes is shown in Fig-ure 4. This plan requires a brace for thelower part of the beam on the outside of. the wall and a brace for the upper partof the beam on the inside of the double bra in?: operation can becommended for general purposes. There are some superintendents whoprefer to have anything of this order asornamental as possible.
