FIG. L-NAKING A LADDER.

FIG. L-NAKING LADDER.
when first made. 1t will he SO az long
o. it exists. No extra allowance OF ma
terial need be made on that account.
The desirable features Of q ladder are
least weight and the greatest strength.
The first we can have by using bass
wood throughout, sides and rounds, or,
II we can obtain it, 90 called shoemake
for the latter, az it is still lighter than
Eastwood. The sides should be tapered
Doth ways as much as possible and still
retain sufficient strength. It Is the
weight Of the top end that makes lad
der heavy and clumsy to handle. This
is the great objection to those adjust
able section ladders that are now offered
to the public. They are too top heavy.
Thus writes q contributor to The Farm
and Freside, who is also authority for
the following:
The strength Of the sides lies in their
shape. A round or square stick is not
nearly as strong as when the same
amount Of material is changed into
board or strip Of one-haf its thick
ness, but twice as wide. Besides, the
holes for the rounds weaken the round
or square stick great deal more than
they do the fat. This principle is plain
" shown at Fig l, representing q
stick one inch square, b a slat one
half inch thick and two inches wide
and a board one-fourth Of an inch
thick and four inches wide. Although
all three forms contain the same guam
tity of material, acne inch hole would
cut the first clear of, leave one-half OF
the second and only take one-fourth Of
the third. Thus the wider the board
the less it is weakened by the holes.
The proper size Of the sides must, Of
course, be governed by the length. I
have now in use an 10 foot all Eastwood
ladder, with sides Of the following d.
mansions. ~ by s inches at the bot
