Page To face Plate XV.
To face plate XV. Fig. A, plate XV. Is the plan of an ell roof with hips and valley; the length of the hips and backing is the same as before in plate XI.; there is another way to find the length of the hips, but that does not give the backing: If you take the base line of the hip a b, and set it on the base line of the principal rafters, as a b, then draw the line c b, which is the length of the hip c b; on the angle a is the plan of the king-post, shewing how the hip, valley, and two principal rafters come to it; they are marked on the ends of the beams they stand on the plan. Fig. B is an angle bracket for a cove, which is traced from the given rib c, as the figures direct, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
