The metal connector plate evolved from a simple piece of galvanized sheet steel with holes punched for nails, into the integrated toothed plate, that does not require nails. Because the tooth replaced the nail, it reduced labor and improved the quality of the truss joint. 1, record 1, English, - toothed%20plate

Dans la charpente moderne, [...] on préfère utiliser d'autres modes d'assemblage, capables de résister aux efforts imposés [...] Les assemblages cloués, rigides et indéformables, et les assemblages boulonnés sont les plus courants; parfois, ils sont renforcés par des organes d'assemblage (anneaux, crampons, plaques dentées, connecteurs, etc.) qui, sous de faibles dimensions, en augmentent sensiblement les résistances. [...] Ces types d'assemblage ont permis [...] d'industrialiser la fabrication. 1, record 1, French, - plaque%20dent%C3%A9e
