R. H.S.

the new shapes in steel from Stewarts and Lloyds

ARE EFFICIENT

R.H.S. means Rectangular Hollow Sections. These new shapes in steel outdate traditional joists and girders. Their lightness and strength- to-weight ratio makes construction easier, gives greater scope in design,

R.H.S. are practical: unclad they blend perfect- ly with their surroundings. And they can be clad in a variety of materials, simply and effectively.

The efficiency and versatility of R.H.S. are already in evidence in 61 countries. Footbridges, cranes, conveyors, air terminals, schools and all kinds of public buildings incorporate these new shapes in steel.

R.H.S. have uses and advantages that all architects, engineers and equipment fabricators should investigate.

The R.H.S. Range,

Section sizes: 1⁄2" to 10" squares and 2"x1" to 12" x 8" rectangles. R.H.S. are available in mild steel or high yield steel and can be supplied to the following national specifications: B.S.15, B.S.968, DIN 17100, ST42, 3 and ST52/3, SIS141411, ASTM A36.
