This construction is so designed for the purpose of mak-ing it possible to remove these cover plates if necessary with-out disturbing the side sheathing. The two bolsters are about5 ft. apart, and. as above mentioned, transfer their load to thecenter sills at this point. For a distance of 3 ft. on the bot-tom of these sills, between the bolsters, there is a heavy coverplate, to which the center plate is fastened, and sills are fur-ther reinforced by a top plate of channel shape riveted to thewebs of both sills.
