'Chord members are ,basically 2x4 Doug' Ias Fir or 'West Coast Hemlock, grades 1200f and 1500f. The efficiency of the trusses enables longer spans without the necessity for larger size or premium grade lumber. All trusses are in accordance with FHA specifications and major building codes.

Besides marketing the manufactured trusses themselves, the companyo through another outlet. will sell the CECO truss plates in quantity, plus the complete manu- facturing system (jig, press, etc.) to truss manufacturers or large-scale builders. Company officials point out that retail lumber dealers can inventory a broad line of standard trusses in a relatively small space, thus eliminating the time normally spent to make trusses to order. This is particularly appealing to dealers who do not want to manufacture their own trusses but still feel it necessary to supply them to their customers.

For customers relatively near to the point of manufacture, the firm also ofiers permanently-assembled trusses or trusses which are half disassembled, and need only be connected at the peak and splice.

Virtually any shaped roof can be con- structed with CECO trusses. Hips, valleys, ool" and o'H"-shaped roofs are possible, with overhand and soffitt returns available in any style.

Detailed cost and material information on the trusses and truss plates are available from Component Engineering Co., P. O. Box 453, Lake Oswego, Oregon.
