Ordering Of Material. Continued
Multiple Lengths. In cases where there are several pieces of the same size and length, they may, for convenience in handling, be ordered in one piece at the mills and cut into lengths after they reach the shop. In this case, however, care must be taken that the multiple length is not too long to ship on an ordinary freight car. The allowances to be made in such cases and the general rules are given in Table II.
Allowances for Pin Material. In case material is ordered for pins, it is necessary that certain allowances be made for turning and for ordering in multiple. The following very general rules are given in Table III.
Table II. Allowances For Multiple Lengths
No. | Rule |
1 | No pieces more than 7 ft. long are to be ordered in multiple lengths unless under special instructions |
2 | In arranging multiple lengths make lengths about 30 ft. and never exceed 32 ft. |
3 | Never order plates over 24" wide in multiple lengths |
4 | Never order plates 7/8" thick in multiple lengths |
5 | Never order channels in multiples unless specially instructed |
6 | Never order I-beams in multiples unless specially instructed |
7 | Never order Z-bars in multiples unless specially instructed |
8 | Plates and shapes to be sheared to length without finishing, add 1" to product of length times number required |
9 | When planed ends are required add specified amount to each piece multiplied and add 1" to multiple lengths so found |
10 | Stiffeners with fillers, add 1/4" to net length of each for planing and 1" to multiple length so found |
11 | Stiffeners when crimped, order same as b-b of girder angles plus 1/4" for planing and add 1" to multiple length so found |
12 | When 4 or less shapes not over 3 ft. long are ordered in multiple lengths, add 5/8" to multiple and add for planing when required. |
13 | When ordering fillers, allow 1/8" clearance at ends when necessary, and add for multiple as for plates |
14 | Make all multiples end with nearest 1/4" |
15 | Tees under 7 ft. long may be ordered in multiple lengths. Add 2" to length times number required and make longest multiple 24 ft. |
16 | If I-beams or channels are cut from long lengths allow loss of 3 1/2" for each cut |
17 | 7"x3 1/2" angles can be multiplied up to and including 3/4" in thickness |
Allowances for Bending. In all cases where angles have to be bent, additional material is required. In such cases the following rules are applicable:
(1) In the case of Fig. 7a. Figure length on c.g. line of angles and add 1" for each bend when the angle of bend is not more than about 30°; add 2" for each bend when the angle is between 30° and 60°; over 60° ask for special instructions from the forge shop.
(2) In the case of Figs. 7b and 7c. In the case of sharply curved end angles or when sharp bends are made near ends, add to the length figured on the c.g. line as follows: 3-inch angles add 4"; 4-inch angles add 5"; 5-inch angles add 6"; 6-inch angles add 7"; 7-inch angles add 8"; and 8-inch angles add 9".

Table III. Allowances For Pin Material
No. | Rule |
1 | Pins up to and including 4" in diameter, add 1/8" to finished diameter for turning |
2 | Pins 4" to 6" in diameter, add \" to finished diameter for turning |
3 | Pins over 6" in diameter, add \" to finished diameter and order them rough turned unless specially instructed to the contrary |
4 | Pins up to and including 6" in diameter shall be ordered in multiple length of about 12 ft. Add 7/16" for each tool cut and 1" to multiple length thus found |
5 | Pins over 6" in diameter shall be ordered in single pieces and to exact length required |
6 | When pins are over 4" diameter, ordered diameters must end in no fractions smaller than quarter inches |

Shop Bills. In order to facilitate the getting out of certain articles which are of the same general form but of different dimensions, and for convenience in tabulating information relative to certain material either before or after it has been assembled into members for structures, certain bills called "shop" bills are used. These bills, which save much drafting and much letter writing, may be of almost any character to suit the practice of the plant. Figs. 8 to 26 give the headings of various bills and Fig. 27 gives the heading of a bill which is used in case it becomes desirable to change an order which has been sent in. The lower part of Fig. 27 is suitable for all of the other bills.
These bills are made on thin paper so that prints may be made from them and sent to the various shops concerned. A copy of each should also be filed in the engineer's office, and all bills of each job should be kept together by binding in some way.
