Anotations

Scope note:

Construction employing a horizontally projecting member unsupported at one end. Cantilevers are employed extensively in building construction and in machines.

Longer cantilevers are incorporated in a building when clear space is required below, with the cantilevers carrying a gallery, roof, canopy, runway for an overhead travelling crane, or part of a building above.
