They thus meet at a right angle against between French and English vaults The French vault. Fig. 90. the diagonal rib (Fig. 90). In English vaulting, on thecontrary, the beds of the ashlaring in the panels are laidsquare with a line more or less nearly bisecting thepanel, and they therefore meet at an obtuse angle againstthe diagonal rib (Fig. 91).
