Picture Galleries > Putting the roof back on > The monitor rib structures.

The roof is known as a monitor roof as the two side parts above the seats are planked and the central raised part is on the main roof sticks.  This gives height in the saloon and also adds much strength to support the wieght of the 18 upper deck pasengers. Here the roof stoicks have beenr eoved and the monitor ribs can be seen.  There are internally glazed windows in between each vertical rib.
