Unusual joists

Unusual joists

(OP)
The roof framing for an existing building in Akron, Ohio, has 10" bar joists in which the bottom chord is (2) round bars and the top chord is a bent plate approximately in the shape of a double angle (the middle is U-shaped). We thought these might be Macomber joists, but did not find anything like it in our Macomber catalogs. Any ideas who the manufacturer might be?

RE: Unusual joists

Your best bet is to get a joist tag off the existing joist. This should give you the size and manufacturer plus some other info.
