SIR,-Mr. Cocking's paper,"Some Notes on Modern Steel Frame Construction," is very timely now that structural work is developing rapidly, and soundness of design and practice is more than ever essential. One or two points of outstanding interest are raised by Mr. Cocking, and I venture to offer the following comments on the closing portion of the paper which deals with cases of bad structural design which are becoming standard practice.
