This barn was built with trusses 16 ft. apart center to center,but the subsequent development of the sprinkler system forcar house protection will probably make it advisable to changethis distance to 20 ft. in future construction.

This is done to resist thespreading of tongues of flame along the under side of the covered trusses will turn the flame downward, and theyare spaced in relation to the stored cars, so that there are nocars directly under these trusses. In fact, there are no carswithin 8 ft. on either side of these trusses. This gives the fol-lowing car distribution along each track: First three cars close together, then an open space of 16 ft. the neat line at foundation to the tile coping. The half-toneengraving on page 215, illustrating the exterior of the storagehouse, was taken during construction, and shows the arrange-ment of fire walls and method of staggering the bays across thelot.
