Missing SJI Joist Designation

Missing SJI Joist Designation

Missing SJI Joist Designation

(OP)
The structure I am working with was built in 1958.  The roof plans call off a 26L05 long span joist spanning 52'.  The SJI 60 yr manual does not include this designation in its loading tables.  Does anyone have information on where I could find this "lost" member?  Thanks!

RE: Missing SJI Joist Designation

Perhaps they meant "LH"?  Drafting error?

RE: Missing SJI Joist Designation

(OP)
The LH designation wasn't established until 1962 unfortunately.  I contacted SJI and they claim no such member was ever made so I can only conclude that someone screwed up haha.

We ended up just moving the new RTU from midspan of the member to the supporting girder.
