Sinopsis

Excerpt from Brick-Scale Tables: With Explanatory Notes for the Designer in Brickwork

The eight Vertical Scales represent units, of one brick and joint, ranging from 2 1-2 to 8 1 at 1-8' intervals, thus giving an opportunity to use a suitable scale to fit the height of brick and joint selected.

The seven Horizontal Scales, marked as A B C D 13i', E F 135i, and G are based on units ranging from a minimum size of a brick and small joint to that of a brick and largest cross-joint usually employed. The divisions of these Horizontal Scales represent one half brick or header, with the joint; and are obtained by dividing into three equal parts the total length of a header and stretcher plus two joints which, as the scales indicate, range from 12 1-2' to 14' for the combined header, stretcher, and two joints.

The Scales are printed on thin card, so that they may be used not only in the usual manner, but also in the more convenient method of slipping them under the tracing paper or cloth, thus permitting the draughtsman to trace directly the divisions - by far the easiest method in securing accurate and rapid work.
