I am looking at these existing drawings from 1950 for a renovation project and the column sizes are listed as noted above. I guess H.W stands for Heavy Wall but does LALLY mean?
 
I think it often refers to the adjustable columns used in residential construction to support the main beams/girders in the basement. But I think that is a misnomer of sorts as the older Lally columns I have seen on demo projects were concrete filled.
 
oops...
Should have read Mike's link first!
 
Mike, please don't tell me that you believe everything you read on Wikipedia...jk

Thanks for the link.
 
No. But I don't totally discount it either.

Can you imagine what it would be like if I wrote all the definitions? [bigsmile]
