Bradford, hollow bricks have been used for the floors: these combine great lightness and security in every room of the factory. an appearance of complication, as if it were held together by a series of rods. To avoid these distortions, the tie-bars are imbedded in the arches; and being firmly keyed at every beam, and also to the columns, they are effectually concealed from view, and are thus rendered nearly as efficacious as if they were extended along the bottom of the beams. To give the floors additional strength and security, and to attain an effectual combination of the beams with the walls on each side, and also with the gables, a tie or bond rod of the same strength as those in the middle is imbedded longitudinally in the middle of the side-walls; and this being securely fixed and keyed to the end of each beam, a complete framework is thus formed, which binds the whole into one mass, and gives greatly increased strength and security to the structure.

These beams support arches at right angles to those across the mill; and having their ...
