Abnormal Structural steel designation
(OP)
I am currently analyzing existing roof framing members and there is a strange call out. Several of the members are shown to be MPC14x17.3?? I cannot find any information on what this actually is. The project was done back in the early 80's if that makes a difference. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

However, for that capacity, the 14 gage material seems light.
