gantry column Explanation: It is not a "beam"; beams are horizontal elements. Quite honestly, the passage you quote is very bad indeed; I'd call it semi-literate. It could do with a complete rewrite. The "portique" seems to be a gantry and the montant is the vertical element or column. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 37 mins (2020-01-15 15:55:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In particular, the following is is incomprehensible nonsense: "the top part of the portal frame that goes downwards through two lateral beams that connect at the top through an arch (viz. the top part)". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 59 mins (2020-01-15 16:17:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oh dear: sorry! I thought you were quoting from the translation that you were proofreading. |
