Synopsis
Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on the Joints Made and Used by Builders: In the Construction of Various Kinds of Engineering and Architectural Works, With Especial Reference to Those Wrought by Artificers in Erecting and Finishing Habitable Structures
The present work is compiled with the object of its forming a suitable companion to the useful Treatises on Architecture and Engineering included in this series, and which have proved so popular.
In offering it to the notice of the building trades, and to that of the professions which dominate them, it is hoped that some practical and useful result will accrue from thus collecting the various Joints made by the artificers of each trade in a more or loss systematic and novel form. Admitting of easy reference, such an arrangement gives a synoptical insight into some of the most important operations of all the trades, whilst it may possibly facilitate the director or designer of work in choosing good forms of joints, and in securing their workmanlike execution.
It may be taken for granted that, as a rule, different parts of engineering and architectural works hold well together, for there would not be so much immunity from accidents from falling bodies were not architects habituated to wait submissively on the laws of stability - repose, equipoise, and tie - nor would the severe and studious labours of engineers to make bond, bolt, and rivet subserve them to the best advantage be either so creditable or profitable did not a similar exemption prevail throughout their works and triumphs.
