Macomber Steel Joists

Macomber Steel Joists

(OP)
I am looking for some joist properties for Macomber bar joists. I found a few old threads on this site for V-Beam types, but these are not quite what I need. The building I am looking at has joist tags by Macomber labelled
14 S5 18 4 B. It has a rounded "bulb" at the center of the top chord, not a "V" shape. Does anyone have access to an old catalog?

BobStoller - Go to my webpage, link below, and look thru the Macomber documents that are posted as a joint effort by Eng-Tips members. You may find the info you are looking for.

Thanks SlideRuleEra. I did download this information, but the chord type and designations are different than what I have.
