Hi - I have bought Michael Roberts' book on Poultry Construction - part of the Golden Cockerel series.

Anybody have any experience of building his designs?

Many of the diagrams are annotated with "x 5 off" or "x 2 off" (see photo)

Does anybody know what this means?

5 no. / 2 no.  Not read book so don't know context but that's what I would take as meaning if hearing it.

that will be 5 of a certain size or 2 of a certain size     don't read these books but by reading other drawings that is what i interpret as

Yes - I posted an email to Golden Cockerel and got a reply back from Michael Roberts himself confirming that. Many thanks
