J Most Gables Cause Most Glass Breakage When the wind strikes the roof full broad side, its force isgreutly lessened by sliding up the skint and oiY into space on the other side. Rut with gables it's ditl'erent. The full force of the full wind strikes them at times, full on. Thereisno slidingolV. Ifs just like one huge sledge hammer blow. Unless gables are rightly framed and then interframed with the main frame of the house—those terrific rack the entire frame. Such constant racking, gradually but surely loosens the roof glass. ?ti"Poohl Poohl"." you say, '' brace their gables ;" To which we answer that if doing what you think is needless, prevents needless glass loosening and slip|)ing. then wt-have a notion that we better keep right on doing that needless thing. Hut to get back to basic framing facts, we frame our gables and roofs so that all strains are. so far as possible, equally dis- tributed over the entire framework. In comparison, Hitchings framing is (luite like a wheel, no one spoke of which bears the load. The strain and the load weight are both carried by the spokes to the rim and tire, which in turn distribute it back again to the spokes. After all is said and done it, therefore, figures down to whether the extra gable bracing we use is better than having ~ened glass. You know we go anywhere for business. Or to talk business.
