Dorman long and catnic lintels
Dorman long and catnic lintels
(OP)
Hi,
Can someone help me. I'm not involved in structural engineering but I'm a little stuck with a university assignment.
What is the difference between a dorman long lintel and a catnic lintel? I believe the bottom horizontal plate is missing on the dorman long lintel. If this is the correct difference, what effects does this have in regards to both lintels?
I would be very grateful for any help.
Jim

"All of this changed in the early 60s with the advent of the 'combination lintel'. Its early name was a 'Dorman Long' lintel, a name long lost in the mists of steel privatisation. Now they are sometimes referred to as a 'Catnic' lintel."

Like I said I don't have a background in this engineering field so any exta help will be great.
