"Macomber V-Beam" steel joists

"Macomber V-Beam" steel joists

(OP)
Yet another request for Macomber steel joist information. I have information from a 1966 Macomber catalogue that shows a cross section with a hat section for a bottom chord, while the top chord is in the shape of a beaker with horizontal flanges extending from the top.  All the sides of the top and bottom chords are flat and all the bends between the sides are rounded corners.  

The Macomber joist that I am trying to find information for has a tag that reads "14B 19 8".  The bottom and top chords are similar in shape to the hat and flanged-beaker, but the shapes are circular without corners (ie the top chord "beaker" is circular, while its "flanges" are semicircular "rabbit-ears").

I imagine that the 1966 information will get me pretty close, but if someone has information for this presumably earlier version of the Macomber joist, I would appreciate it very much.  Thanks!

I have a very similar situation.  If you have obtained any information on Macomber joists, could you please let us know?

RE: "Macomber V-Beam" steel joists

I would like the same Macomber joist information fax to me as well. I have to work with Macomber V beam 13W32P 53A TYPE U.N.O. Please fax to (989) 386-8463 ASAP
Thank you,
