Excerpt from Brick-Scale Tables: With Explanatory Notes for the Designer in Brickwork
The Scales, divided on the basis of 1-4' to the foot, are fifteen in number, eight for vertical and seven for horizontal measurements, and are meant to furnish the architectural draughtsman with a ready and convenient method of determining the number of courses and joints in all brickwork, using one brick and joint as a unit of measurement. The Tablas which accompany the Scales indicate the necessary dimensions for height and length of any number of brick, including joints, and are, calculated so as to provide each Scale with its own corresponding Table.
