Hi Chris,

You have an excellent point.

I am not providing a book like Kalmbach's Bridges and Trestles (I think that is the name) with lots of prototype plans - its been done too many times both in book form and in magazines.

As to your photo, I like your king post truss there. Simple, straight forward and looking good.

I enjoy your photos and comments - thanks.

P.S. if you are interested in proof reading the manuscript for me, I'd appreciate it. Contact me back channel.
