the studs to the sill is called SILL ASSEMBLY.The BOX-SILL assembly shown in figure 6-11 isthe type most frequently used in platform-frameconstruction. In this type, the ends of thejoists are framed against a header-joist, whichis set flush with the outer edge of the sill. Theconstruction method for a sill assembly in whichbrick veneer is used as exterior siding (fig. 6-12)is similar to the box-sill assembly except that thesill is set in the foundation wall to allowenough space for the brick to rest directly on thewall.Balloon-frame construction uses the T-SILL(fig. 6-13) and EASTERN (fig. 6-14) assemblies.Here, the studs are anchored on the sill and arecontinuous; that is, in one piece from sill to roofline.Figure 6-13-T-sill assembly.Figure 6-14.-Eastern sill assembly.6-15
