Gasholder No. 1 is a variation on the type 32 holder. Type 32 holders had equal chords to the front of and the back of the standards to create an 'I' shape. The conventional tapered standards appear to have taken over from lattcie T section from around 1890. This 'I' section was used with a variety of girder type. At Provan and Temple in Glasgow, the section was used with box lattice girders.
Provan and Temple are the earliest examples surviving of the Type 32 in Scotand but not in the UK
