Synopsis

Master practical geometry and measurement with this comprehensive reference.

This volume gathers tables of weights and measures, fractions, and the mensuration of areas, lines, surfaces, and solids, plus a practical treatise on the carpenter’s slide-rule and gauging. It is designed for builders, craftsmen, and students who need reliable, ready-to-use rules and worked examples.

In clear, step-by-step form, the book guides you through core topics such as:
  • Calculating volumes and areas of solids, cylinders, cones, and pyramids with practical rules and examples
  • Gauging casks, ullage, and liquid measures using slide-rule methods and quick reference tables
  • Working with both vulgar and decimal fractions for everyday measurement tasks
  • Understanding centers of gravity, regular polyhedrons, and methodical approaches to surface and solid measurements
What you’ll experience:
  • Straightforward rules you can apply on the job or in the classroom
  • Worked problems that illustrate how to handle real-world measuring and gauging tasks
  • A practical link between theory and craft, with tools and techniques you can rely on
Ideal for readers of practical geometry, ship and wine cask gauging, carpentry calculations, and anyone needing reliable measurement reference material.
