Efficient brick design with ready-made scales and tables

With these scales and tables, the designer can quickly fit brickwork to wall dimensions while preserving ornamental bonds and patterns.

This edition provides vertical and horizontal scales, each paired with its own table of heights and lengths. It explains how to choose the right scales based on brick size and joint width, and how to use a bond diagram to lay out patterns accurately. The tools are designed to be used directly on tracing paper or cloth, making drafts faster and more precise. A companion note warns about standard bricks versus special brick varieties, and shows practical ways to adapt the scales when such bricks are used.

Learn how to select vertical and horizontal scales for a given brick size and joint
Understand how to read the tables of length and height to size walls, piers, and openings
Use the Bond Diagram to lay out bonds quickly and accurately
Apply the scales to ornamental patterns without tedious calculations

This edition is ideal for architects, designers, and draftsmen working with brickwork who want reliable, repeatable results and a smoother drafting process.
