Description

The sheet shows a plan and vertical elevation of one roof bay, elevations of an arch-braced rafter, an intermediate truss and principal trusses, details of a principal bracket, an intermediate bracket and one section of the cornice, and sections of arch and bracket mouldings and wall plate mouldings.

The sheet is annotated with details regrading the scales of the drawings, and with a small sketch of a roof truss. The original drawing was created in October 1953 by the Ministry of Works, but this copy is likely to have been made at a much later date.
