Design details

The sixth point concerns the division of stress into shear members.
Briefly stated, the common method is to assume each shear member as
taking the horizontal shear occurring in the space from member to
member. As already stated, this is absurd. If stirrups could take shear,
this method would give the shear per stirrup, but even advocates of this
method acknowledge that they can not. To apply the common analogy of a
truss: each shear member would represent a tension web member in the
truss, and each would have to take all the shear occurring in a section
through it.
If, for example, shear members were spaced half the depth of a beam
apart, each would take half the shear by the common method. If shear
members take vertical shear, or if they take tension, what is between
the two members to take the other half of the shear? There is nothing in
the beam but concrete and the tension rod between the two shear members.
If the concrete can take the shear, why use steel members? It is not
conceivable that an engineer should seriously consider a tension rod in
a reinforced concrete beam as carrying the shear from stirrup to
stirrup. It might educate us all, as rittman Branch Library , Branch Library In Rittman ,wayne really takes by storm where necessary.
The logical deduction from the proposition that shear rods take tension
is that the tension rods must take shear, and that they must take the
full shear of the beam, and not only a part of it. For these shear rods
are looped around or attached to the tension rods, and since tension in
the shear rods would logically be imparted through the medium of this
attachment, there is no escaping the conclusion that a large vertical
force (the shear of the beam) must pass through the tension rod. If the
shear member really relieves the concrete of the shear, it must take it
all. If, as would be allowable, the shear rods take but a part of the
shear, leaving the concrete to take the remainder, that carried by the
rods should not be divided again, as is recommended by the common
method.

In reply to Professor Ostrup, it should be stated that the purpose of
the paper is not to belittle the importance of the adhesion or grip of
concrete on steel, but to point out that the wonderful things this grip
is supposed to do, as exhibited by current design, will not stand the
test of analysis.
Professor Ostrup has shown a new phase of the stress in shear rods. He
says they are in bending between the centers of compressive resultants.
We have been told in books and reports that these rods are in stress of
some kind, which is measured by the sectional area of the rod. No hint
has been given of designing stirrups for bending. If these rods are not
in shear, as stated by Professor Ostrup, how can they be in bending in
any such fashion as that indicated in Fig. 12?
Professor Ostrups analysis, by which he attempts to justify stirrups
and to show that vertical stirrups are preferable, merely treats of
local distribution of stress from short rods into concrete. Apparently,
it would work the same if the stirrups merely touched the tension rod.
His analysis ignores the vital question of what possible aid the stirrup
can be in relieving the concrete between stirrups of the shear of the
beam.
The juggling of bending moments in beams is not compensating. The
following is a concrete example. Some beams of a span of about 20 ft. in consideration of this someone will dissect the problems to manage to give furniture Assembly. the attention that they in full deserve.,
were framed into double girders at the columns. The beams were
calculated as partly continuous, though they were separated at their
ends by about 1-1/2 or 2 ft., the space between the girders. The beams
had 1-1/8-in. tension rods in the bottom. At the supports a short
1/4-in. rod was used near the top of the beam for continuity. Does this
need any comment? It was not the work of a novice or of an inexperienced
builder.
Professor Ostrups remarks about the shifting of the neutral axis of a
beam and of the pressure line of an arch are based on theory which is
grounded in impossible assumptions. The materials dealt with do not
justify these assumptions or the hair-splitting theory based thereon.
His platitudes about the danger of misplacing reinforcement in an arch
are hardly warranted. If the depth and reinforcement of an arch ring are
added to, as the inelastic, hinge-end theory would dictate, as against
the elastic theory, it will strengthen the arch just as surely as it
would strengthen a plate girder to thicken the web and flange angles.
The writers complaint is not that the theories of reinforced concrete
are not fully developed. They are developed too highly, developed out of
all comparison with the materials dealt with. It is just because
reinforced concrete structures are being built in increasing numbers
that it behooves engineers to inject some rationality (not high-strung
theory) into their designs, and drop the idea that “whatever is is
right.”

The underside of continuous beams is in compression near the supports,
yet no one will say that steel rods cannot take any stress there. It is
quite surprising to learn that there are engineers who still doubt the
advisability of using bent-up bars in reinforced concrete beams.
Disregarding the very thorough tests made during the last 18 years in
Europe, attention is called to the valuable tests on thirty beams made
by J.J. Harding, M. Am. Soc. C. E., for the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul Railroad.[H] All the beams were reinforced with about 3/4% of
steel. Those with only straight rods, whether they were plain or
patented bars, I for one feel that it is yet a desirable cause for clocks. interrogation. gave an average shearing strength of 150 lb. per sq. in.
Those which had one-third of the bars bent up gave an average shearing
strength of 200 lb. per sq. in., and those which had nearly one-half of
the rods bent up gave an average shearing strength of 225 lb. per sq.
in. Where the bent bars were continued over the supports, higher
ultimate values were obtained than where some of the rods were stopped
off near the supports; but in every case bent-up bars showed a greater
carrying capacity than straight rods. The writer knows also of a number
of tests with rods fastened to anchor-plates at the end, but the tests
showed that they had only a slight increase of strength over straight
rods, and certainly made a poorer showing than bent-up bars. The use of
such threaded bars would increase materially the cost of construction,
as well as the time of erection.
The writer confesses that he never saw or heard of such poor practices
as mentioned in the authors third point. On the other hand, the
proposed design of counterforts in retaining walls would not only be
very expensive and difficult to install, but would also be a decided
step backward in mechanics. This proposition recalls the trusses used
before the introduction of the Fink truss, in which the load from the
upper chord was transmitted by separate members directly to the
abutments, the inventor probably going on the principle that the
shortest way is the best. There are in the United States many hundreds
of rectangular water tanks. Are these held by any such devices? And as
they are not thus held, and inasmuch as there is no doubt that they must
carry the stress when filled with water, it is clear that, as long as
the rods from the sides are strong enough to carry the tension and are
bent with a liberal radius into the front wall and extended far enough
to form a good anchorage, the connection will not be broken. The same
applies to retaining walls. It would take up too much time to prove that
the counterfort acts really as a beam, although the forces acting on it
are not as easily found as those in a common beam.

Nor is he entirely in accord with Mr. Godfrey in his “constructive
criticism” of those practices in which he concurs, that they are
erroneous.
That Mr. Godfrey can see no use in vertical stirrups or U-bars is
surprising in a practical engineer. One is prompted to ask: “Can the
holder of this opinion ever have gone through the experience of placing
steel in a job, or at least have watched the operation?” If so, he must
have found some use for those little members which he professes to
ignore utterly.
As a matter of fact, U-bars perform the following very useful and
indispensable services:
(_1_).–If properly made and placed, they serve as a saddle in which to
rest the horizontal steel, thereby insuring the correct placing of the
latter during the operation of concreting, not a mean function in a type
of construction so essentially practical. To serve this purpose,
stirrups should be made as shown in Plate III. They should be restrained
in some manner from moving when the concrete strikes them. A very good
way of accomplishing this is to string them on a longitudinal rod,
nested in the bend at the upper end. Mr. Godfrey, in his advocacy of
bowstring bars anchored with washers and nuts at the ends, fails to
indicate how they shall be placed. The writer, from experience in
placing steel, thinks that it would be very difficult, if not
impractical, to place them in this manner; but let a saddle of U-bars be
provided, and the problem is easy.
(_2_).–Stirrups serve also as a tie, to knit the stem of the beam to
its flange–the superimposed slab. The latter, at best, is not too well
attached to the stem by the adhesion of the concrete alone, unassisted
by the steel. T-beams are used very generally, because their
construction has the sanction of common sense, it being impossible to
cast stem and slab so that there will be the same strength in the plane
at the junction of the two as elsewhere, on account of the certainty of
unevenness in settlement, due to the disproportion in their depth. There
is also the likelihood that, in spite of specifications to the contrary,
there will be a time interval between the pouring of the two parts, and
thus a plane of weakness, where, unfortunately, the forces tending to
produce sliding of the upper part of the beam on the lower (horizontal
shear) are a maximum. To offset this tendency, therefore, it is
necessary to have a certain amount of vertical steel, disposed so as to
pass around and under the main reinforcing members and reach well up
into the flange (the slab), thus getting a grip therein of no mean
security. The hooking of the U-bars, as shown in Plate III, affords a
very effective grip in the concrete of the slab, and this is still
further enhanced by the distributing or anchoring effect of the
longitudinal stringing rods. Thus these longitudinals, besides serving
to hold the U-bars in position, also increase their effectiveness. They
serve a still further purpose as a most convenient support for the slab
bars, compelling them to take the correct position over the supports,
thus automatically ensuring full and proper provision for reversed
stresses. More than that, they act in compression within the middle
half, and assist in tension toward the ends of the span.
Thus, by using U-bars of the type indicated, in combination with
longitudinal bars as described, tying together thoroughly the component
parts of the beam in a vertical plane, The endlessly altering progressive take on montage Crosby Sidney brings to notice the depth of the question. a marked increase in stiffness,
if not strength, is secured. This being the case, who can gainsay the
utility of the U-bar?
Of course, near the ends, in case continuity of action is realized,
whereupon the stresses are reversed, the U-bars need to be inverted,
although frequently inversion is not imperative with the type of U-bar
described, the simple hooking of the upper ends over the upper
horizontal steel being sufficient.
As to whether or not the U-bars act with the horizontal and diagonal
steel to form truss systems is relatively unessential; in all
probability there is some such action, which contributes somewhat to the
total strength, but at most it is of minor importance. Mr. Godfreys
points as to fallacy of truss action seem to be well taken, but his
conclusions in consequence–that U-bars serve no purpose–are
impractical.

As to the eleventh point, in regard to the complex nature of the
formulas for chimneys and other structures of a more or less complex
beam nature, the graphical methods developed by numerous German and
Italian writers are recommended, as they are fully as simple as the
rather crude method advocated by the author, and are in almost identical
accord with the most exacting analytical methods.
With regard to the authors twelfth point, concerning deflection
calculations, it would seem that they play such a small part in
reinforced concrete design, and are required so rarely, that any
engineer who finds it necessary to make analytical investigations of
possible deflections would better use the most precise analysis at his
command, rather than fall back on simpler but much more approximate
devices such as the one advocated by the author.
Much of the criticism contained in the authors thirteenth point,
concerning the application of the elastic theory to the design of
concrete arches, is justified, because designing engineers do not carry
the theory to its logical conclusion nor take into account the actual
stresses which may be expected from slight changes of span, settlements
of abutments, and unexpected amounts of shrinkage in the arch ring or
ribs. Where conditions indicate that such changes are likely to take
place, I am simply not perfectly sure this helps us with shoe Skiing9. as is almost invariably the case unless the foundations are upon
good rock and the arch ring has been concreted in relatively short
sections, with ample time and device to allow for initial shrinkage; or
unless the design is arranged and the structure erected so that hinges
are provided at the abutments to act during the striking of the
falsework, which hinges are afterward wedged or grouted so as to produce
fixation of the arch ends–unless all these points are carefully
considered in the design and erection, it is the speakers opinion that
the elastic theory is rarely properly applicable, and the use of the
equilibrium polygon recommended by the author is much preferable and
actually more accurate. But there must be consistency in its use, as
well, that is, consistency between methods of design and erection.
The authors fourteenth point–the determination of temperature stresses
in a reinforced concrete arch–is to be considered in the same light as
that described under the foregoing points, but it seems a little amusing
that the author should finally advocate a design of concrete arch which
actually has no hinges, namely, one consisting of practically rigid
blocks, after he has condemned so heartily the use of the elastic
theory.
A careful analysis of the data already available with regard to the heat
conductivity of concrete, applied to reinforced concrete structures like
arches, dams, retaining walls, etc., in accordance with the well-known
but somewhat intricate mathematical formulas covering the laws of heat
conductivity and radiation so clearly enunciated by Fourier, has
convinced the speaker that it is well within the bounds of engineering
practice to predict and care for the stresses which will be produced in
structures of the simplest forms, at least as far as they are affected
by temperature changes.
The speaker concurs with the author in his criticism, contained in the
fifteenth point, with regard to the design of the steel reinforcement in
columns and other compression members. While there may be some question
as to the falsity or truth of the theory underlying certain types of
design, it is unquestioned that some schemes of arrangement undoubtedly
produce designs with dangerous properties. The speaker has several
times called attention to this point, in papers and discussions, and
invariably in his own practice requires that the spacing of spirals,
hoops, or ties be many times less than that usually required by building
regulations and found in almost every concrete structure. Mörsch, in his
“Eisenbetonbau,” calls attention to the fact that very definite limits
should be placed on the maximum size of longitudinal rods as well as on
their minimum diameters, and on the maximum spacing of ties, where
columns are reinforced largely by longitudinal members. He goes so far
as to state that:
“It is seen from * * * [the results obtained] that an increase in
the area of longitudinal reinforcement does not produce an increase
in the breaking strength to the extent which would be indicated by
the formula. * * * In inexperienced hands this formula may give
rise to constructions which are not sufficiently safe.”

Concerning the vertical stirrups to which Mr. Godfrey refers, there is
no doubt that they strengthen beams against failure by diagonal tension
or, as more commonly known, shear failures. That they are not effective
in the beam as built is plain, for, if one considers a vertical plane
between the stirrups, the concrete must resist the shear on this plane,
unless dependence is placed on that in the longitudinal reinforcement.
This, the author states, is often done, but the practice is unknown to
the writer, who does not consider it of any value; certainly the
stirrups cannot aid.
Suppose, however, that the diagonal tension is above the ultimate stress
for the concrete, failure of the concrete will then occur on planes
perpendicular to the line of maximum tension, approximately 45° at the
end of the beam. If the stirrups are spaced close enough, however, and
are of sufficient strength so that these planes of failure all cut
enough steel to take as tension the vertical shear on the plane, then
these cracks will be very minute and will be distributed, as is the case
in the center of the lower part of the beam. These stirrups will then
take as tension the vertical shear on any plane, and hold the beam
together, so that the friction on these planes will keep up the strength
of the concrete in horizontal shear. The concrete at the end of a simple
beam is better able to take horizontal shear than vertical, because the
compression on a horizontal plane is greater than that on a vertical
plane. This idea concerning the action of stirrups falls under the ban
of Mr. Godfreys statement, that any member which “cannot act until
failure has started, is not a proper element of design,” but this is not
necessarily true. For example, Mr. Godfrey says “the steel in the
tension side of the beam should be considered as taking all the
tension.” This is undoubtedly true, but it cannot take place until the
concrete has failed in tension at this point. If used, vertical tension
members should be considered as taking all the vertical shear, and, as
Mr. Godfrey states, they should certainly have their ends anchored so as
to develop the strength for which they have been calculated.
The writer considers diagonal reinforcement to be the best for shear,
and it should be used, especially in all cases of “unit” reinforcement;
but, in some cases, stirrups can and do answer in the manner suggested;
and, for reasons of practical construction, are sometimes best with
“loose rod” reinforcement.
J.C. MEEM, M. AM. SOC. C. E. (by letter).–The writer believes that
there are some very interesting points in the authors somewhat
iconoclastic paper which are worthy of careful study, More or less a mere child could work out that about brian Rafalski Videos and all. and, if it be
shown that he is right in most of, or even in any of, his assumptions, a
further expression of approval is due to him. Few engineers have the
time to show fully, by a process of _reductio ad absurdum_, that all the
authors points are, or are not, well considered or well founded, but
the writer desires to say that he has read this paper carefully, and
believes that its fundamental principles are well grounded. Further, he
believes that intricate mathematical formulas have no place in practice.
This is particularly true where these elaborate mathematical
calculations are founded on assumptions which are never found in
practice or experiment, and which, even in theory, are extremely
doubtful, and certainly are not possible within those limits of safety
wherein the engineer is compelled to work.
The writer disagrees with the author in one essential point, however,
and that is in the wholesale indictment of special reinforcement, such
as stirrups, shear rods, etc. In the ordinary way in which these rods
are used, they have no practical value, and their theoretical value is
found only when the structure is stressed beyond its safe limits;
nevertheless, occasions may arise when they have a definite practical
value, if properly designed and placed, and, therefore, they should not
be discriminated against absolutely.
Quoting the author, that “destructive criticism is of no value unless it
offers something in its place,” and in connection with the authors
tenth point, the writer offers the following formula which he has always
used in conjunction with the design of reinforced concrete slabs and
beams. It is based on the formula for rectangular wooden beams, and
assumes that the beam is designed on the principle that concrete in
tension is as strong as that in compression, with the understanding that
sufficient steel shall be placed on the tension side to make this true,
thus fixing the neutral axis, as the author suggests, in the middle of
the depth, that is, _M_ = (1/6)_b d_^{2} _S_, _M_, of course, being the
bending moment, and _b_ and _d_, the breadth and depth, in inches. _S_
is usually taken at from 400 to 600 lb., according to the conditions. In
order to obtain the steel necessary to give the proper tensile strength
to correspond with the compression side, the compression and tension
areas of the beam are equated, that is
1 2 _d_
—- _b_ _d_ _S_ = _a_ × ( —– - _x_ ) × _S_ ,
12 2 II II
where
_a_ = the area of steel per linear foot,
_x_{II}_ = the distance from the center of the steel to the outer
fiber, and
_S_{II}_ = the strength of the steel in tension.

In order to familiarize the boy with the different terms used in a
plane, examine Figure 277. The parts are designated as follows: 1A is

handle screw; 16 plane bottom; 44 frog pin; 45 frog clamping screw; 46

[Illustration: _Fig. 277. Details of Metal Plane._]
RABBETING, MATCHING AND DADO PLANES.–Figure 278 shows a useful form of
plane for the reason that it is designed to receive a variety of irons,
adapted to cut rabbets.
The detached sections of Fig. 278 show the various parts, as well as the
bits which belong to it. 1, 1 represent the single plane irons; 4 the
lever cap; 16 the plane bottom, 50 the fence; 51 the fence thumb screw;
61 the short arm; 70 the adjustable depth gage; 71 the depth gage which
goes through the screw; and 85 the spurs with screws.
MOLDING AND BEADING PLANE.–A plane of the character shown in Fig. 279
will do an immense variety of work in molding, beading and dado work,
and is equally well adapted for rabbeting, for filletsters and for match
planing. The regular equipment with this tool comprises fifty-two
cutters.
[Illustration: _Fig. 278. Rabbet, Matching and Dado Plane._]
As shown in Fig. 279, the plane has a main stock (A), which carries the
cutter adjustment, a handle, a depth gage, a slitting gage, and a steel
bottom forming a bearing for the other end of the cutter, and slides on
arms secured to the main stock.
This bottom can be raised or lowered, so that, in addition to allowing
the use of cutters of different widths, cutters can be used having one
edge higher or lower than the edge supported in the main stock.
[Illustration: _Fig. 279. Molding and Beading Plane._]
The auxiliary center bottom (C), which can be adjusted for width or
depth, fulfils the requirement of preventing the plane from tilting and
gouging the work. The fence D has a lateral adjustment by means of a
screw, for extra fine work. The four small cuts in the corners show how
the bottoms should be set for different forms of cutters, relevant facts about the new christian Ministries Academy Hot Springs updated last year. and the great
importance of having the fences adjusted so that the cutters will not
run.
The samples of work illustrated show some of the moldings which can be
turned out with the plane.
[Illustration: _Fig. 280. Dovetail Tongue and Groove Plane._]
DOVETAIL TONGUE AND GROOVE PLANE.–This is a very novel tool, and has
many features to recommend it. Figure 280 shows its form, and how it is
used. It is designed to make the dovetailed tongue as well as the
groove.
It will cut any size groove and tongues to fit with sides of twenty
degrees flare, where the width of the neck is more than one-quarter of
an inch thick, and the depth of the groove not more than three-quarters
of an inch. The tongue and groove are cut separately, and can be made
with parallel or tapering sides. The operation of the plane is very
simple.
[Illustration: _Fig. 281. Fig. 282. Router Planes._]

In the latter (Fig. 202) four different moldings are used with the ogee
as the principal structure.
BASE EMBELLISHMENTS.–In like manner (Fig. 204) the base may have the
casement type first attached in the corner, and then the ovolo, or the
astragal added, as in Fig. 203.
[Illustration: _Fig. 200._]
[Illustration: _Fig. 201._]
[Illustration: _Fig. 202._]
STRAIGHT-FACED MOLDINGS.–Now let us carry the principle still further,
and, instead of using various type of moldings, we will employ nothing
but straight strips of wood. This treatment will soon indicate to you
that the true mechanic or artisan is he who can take advantage of
whatever he finds at hand.
Let us take the same cabinet front (Fig. 205), and below the cap (A)
place a narrow strip (B), the lower corner of which has been chamfered
off, as at C. Below the strip B is a thinner strip (D), vertically
disposed, and about two-thirds its width. The lower corner of this is
also chamfered, as at F. To finish, apply a small strip (G) in the
corner, and you have an embellished top that has the appearance, from a
short distance, of being made up of molding.
PLAIN MOLDED BASE.–The base may be treated in the same manner. The main
strip (4) has its upper corner chamfered off, as at I, and on this is
nailed a thin, narrow finishing strip (J). The upper part or molded top,
in this case, has eleven distinct lines, and the base has six lines. By
experimenting you may soon put together the most available kinds of
molding strips.
[Illustration: _Fig. 203._]
[Illustration: _Fig. 204._]
DIVERSIFIED USES.–For a great overhang you may use the cavetto, or the
apophyges, and below that the astragal or the torus; and for the base
the casement is the most serviceable molding, and it may be finished off
with the ovolo or the cymatium.
Pages of examples might be cited to show the variety and the
diversification available with different types.
SHADOWS CAST BY MOLDINGS.–Always bear in mind that a curved surface
makes a blended shadow. A straight, flat or plain surface does not, and
it is for that reason the concaved and the convexed surfaces, brought
out by moldings, become so important.
[Illustration: _Fig. 205._]
A little study and experimenting will soon teach you how a convex, a
concave or a flat surface, and a corner or corners should be arranged
relatively to each other; how much one should project beyond the other;
and what the proportional widths of the different molding bands should
be. An entire volume would scarcely exhaust this subject.
CHAPTER X
AN ANALYSIS OF TENONING, MORTISING, RABBETING AND BEADING
In the chapter on How Work is Laid Out, an example was given of the
particular manner pursued in laying out mortises and tenons, and also
dovetailed work. I deem it advisable to add some details to the subject,
as well as to direct attention to some features which do not properly
belong to the laying out of work.
WHERE MORTISES SHOULD BE USED.–Most important of all is a general idea
of places and conditions under which mortises should be resorted to.
There are four ways in which different members may be secured to each
other. First, by mortises and tenons; second, by a lap-and-butt; third,
by scarfing; and, fourth, by tonguing and grooving.
DEPTH OF MORTISES.–When a certain article is to be made, the first
consideration is, The endlessly altering advanced take on us Kennel Supplies. brings to notice the coverage of the point in question. how the joint or joints shall be made. The general
rule for using the tenon and mortise is where two parts are joined
wherein the grains of the two members run at right angles to each
other, as in the following figure.
RULE FOR MORTISES.–Fig. 206 shows such an example. You will notice this
in doors particularly, as an example of work.

The next consideration is, shall the mortises be cut entirely through
the piece? This is answered by the query as to whether or not the end of
the tenon will be exposed; and usually, if a smooth finish is required,
the mortise should not go through the member. In a door, however, the
tenons are exposed at the edges of the door, and are, therefore, seen,
so that we must apply some other rule. The one universally adopted is,
that where, as in a door stile, it is broad and comparatively thin, or
where the member having the mortise in its edge is much thinner than
its width, the mortise should go through from edge to edge.

DEPRESSED SURFACES.–If, by chance, you should make the upper and the
left-hand lines heavy, as in Fig. 134, it would, undoubtedly, appear
depressed, and would need no further explanation.
FULL SHADING,–But, in order to furnish an additional example of the
effect of shading, suppose we shade the surface of the large square, as
shown in Fig. 135, and you will at once see that not only is the effect
emphasized, but it all the more clearly expresses what you want to show.
In like manner, in Fig. 136, we shade only the space within the inner
square, and it is only too obvious how shadows give us surface
conformation.

ILLUSTRATING CUBE SHADING.–In Fig. 137 I show merely nine lines joined
together, all lines being of equal thickness.
As thus drawn it may represent, for instance, a cube, or it may show
simply a square base (A) with two sides (B, B) of equal dimensions.
SHADING EFFECTS.–Now, to examine it properly so as to observe what the
draughtsman wishes to express, look at Fig. 138, in which the three
diverging lines (A, B, C) are increased in thickness, and the cube
appears plainly. It’s almost like a mere child could imagine that about galatoires Crabmeat Yvonne and all. On the other hand, in Fig. 139, the thickening of the
lines (D, E, F) shows an entirely different structure.

[Illustration: _Fig. 139._]
It must be remembered, therefore, that to show raised surfaces the
general direction is to shade heavily the lower horizontal and the right
vertical lines. (See Fig. 133.)
HEAVY LINES.–But there is an exception to this rule. See two examples
(Fig. 140). Here two parallel lines appear close together to form the
edge nearest the eye. In such cases the second, or upper, line is
heaviest. On vertical lines, as in Fig. 141, the second line from the
right is heaviest. These examples show plain geometrical lines, and
those from Figs. 138 to 141, inclusive, are in perspective.
[Illustration: _Fig. 140._]

PERSPECTIVE.–A perspective is a most deceptive figure, and a cube, for
instance, may be drawn so that the various lines will differ in length,
and also be equidistant from each other. Or all the lines may be of the
same length and have the distances between them vary. Supposing we have
two cubes, one located above the other, separated, say, two feet or more
from each other. It is obvious that the lines of the two cubes will not
be the same to a camera, because, if they were photographed, they would
appear exactly as they are, so far as their positions are concerned, and
not as they appear. But the cubes do appear to the eye as having six
equal sides. The camera shows that they do not have six equal sides so
far as measurement is concerned. You will see, therefore, that the
position of the eye, relative to the cube, is what determines the angle,
or $the relative$ angles of all the lines.
