BEARING
The the cut shows another
point in which the Bruner System excels. No special bearing at the building
is needed, the bottom flange or the top of a beam, a channel or an angle
being ample support. Three or four inches on the outer area wall or on
paving slab is all the baring that is necessary. Notice that the three
styles of glass will give the best results if used in conjunction. The
glass near the building support should e plain No. 47. Then the multi-prism
No. 52 is inserted to the center of the span, and to get the light far
back in the area under the building, the double angle prism No. 46 should
be used for the outer half of the installation. Notice that intermediate
iron or concrete beams are eliminated and that the concrete arch may be
only a continuation of the sidewalk lights. This method gives results
that no other construction can offer. It can eliminate the beams and
carry the concrete arch in the same span, as shown on page 10.
