Worn out garments show new patches

[Andrew Aspland]

I hoped this learned group might be able to help in a not totally historical
matter.

I am considering a proposal to build a new metal frame with one set of new
girders going into the wall.  At right angles to the girders are four
substantail wooden beams on which it is proposed to mount the new frame and
clamp it to them.

Are there many other examples out there of a mixture of wood and metal
foundation beams and how successful/unsuccessful is this situation.  I can
only call to mind one such installation.
