Another existing Bar joist question - 16J6 from 1966
(OP)
The existing warehouse drawings from 1966 tell me it was a 16J6. I want to verify the capacity from the SJI manual of the time.
I have a 1972 SJI manual which tells me 275TL and 224LL at 25'. Does anyone have an older one that would tell me 1966 info?
