DEFLECTIONS OF TRUSSES

A set of eighteen truss members with lengths based on the 3:4:5 triangle enables at least three different three-bay cantilever trusses to be built with true pin joints. Two springings fix to the vertical side of a universal frame and stand (sold separately). Truss joint deflections are measured using a movable dial gauge mounted on a sub-frame attached to each springing, ensuring deflections are truly relative to the truss springings.
