 They will find a gross floor area of approximately GA acres over the two-acre site. The weight on the steel frame itself weighing 46,000 tons, will be so great that several individual columns will have a load of more than 5000 tons, or 10,000,000 pounds, in excess, the builders say, of any previously con structed similar building"
