Balloon frame: Timber frame in which the studs run in one piece to the roof plate. The floor joists are nailed to the studs. The development of the balloon frame in America in the 1830s led to a great reduction in the labour content of timber houses, by replacing the complex timber joints (such as mortise and tenon, tongue and fork, dovetailing) by simple nailed joints. It became possible only after suitable nails were mass produced. 4, record 1, English, - barefoot%20method
