““The placing of a stiffening rib along the middle of the under side of any bar, plate, or strip of iron is a mere commonplace, as much so as an ordinary brace or strut in carpentry. In cast iron it is as easy to make a stiffening rib crooked as straight, and it surely required no inventive insight to see that with a perforated grate bar (the holes being naturally staggered in accordance with common usages) a stiffening rib along the middle would avoid blocking the holes (especially if these are set closely together) by giving this rib a zigzag or serpentine shape.””
