The common form for bending the arch bars has been re-tained and also the rectangular tire rod. The upper and lowerarch bars are made of channels rolled with a section which i^mmj a ,*/ «—. a^-♦tAt^X*. r u f ir\ ■ I •■ • ; % ~r,i( llillliiii^lglfl Strain Diagram.

This, itis stated, could not be so well done with any of the presentcommercial shapes, because of the stiffening effect of the largefillets. The ends of the arch bars are united by means ofmalleable castings formed to fit the channels. These castingsterminate in a flange at the outer ends, forming bearings forthe ends of the channels and at the inner ends they give sup-
