Bullding Steel Structures.

Many of the great ateel structure# that are being built in every city are planned and modeled in some distant city —like the material for Solomon’s temple of old—hundreds of miles away. It is in some rolling mill town of Pennsylvania that most of the gigantic frame works for the modern skyscrapers are built Every piece is fitted together and numbered before it Is taken away from the steel mill. So exact are the measurements that not even the drilling of a hole is necessary for fitting the rivets which fasten the pistes and girders together.
