Ogive Rafter Reinforcement Sketch - Garage Roof Framing on Cinder Block Walls
Hand-drawn dimensioned drawing of a roof rafter triangle with 1x6 reinforcements and 8-foot wall measurements.
This document is a hand-drawn structural sketch (blueprint-style) showing a cross-section of a building — likely a garage or workshop — with a gabled (pointed-arch/ogive) roof. The drawing depicts two vertical cinder block walls, each labeled as 8 feet tall, supporting angled roof members that meet at a peak. Handwritten callouts explain the construction details: 1"x6" "ogive" reinforcements are attached to the curved/angled rafter sections using 4 x 4 x 1/8 angle iron, and an additional horizontal 1"x6" board spans between the rafters near the peak to complete the rafter "triangle" (acting as a collar tie). Arrows point from each label to the corresponding structural element. The sketch contains no vehicle-specific information, part numbers, dates, or manufacturer references — it is a shop/garage construction plan rather than an automotive reference document. A reader can learn the basic framing approach for reinforcing a gothic-arch or ogive-style roof over cinder block walls: wall height (8'), reinforcement material (1"x6" lumber), fastening hardware (4x4x1/8 angle iron), and the use of a horizontal tie board to triangulate the rafters. Faint bleed-through printed text from the reverse side of the page is visible but not meaningfully legible.
