Two girths perform thesame office for the superstructure, in-stead of lining the inside from floor toplate. Corner bands are on the outside atplates, girths and .sills, and on the insideat plates and girths. The side door open- 436 ings are 8 ft. 3!^ in. x 5 ft. 6 in. Thereare no end doors. The insi
