Architecture; Civil engineering; Science. attempted to be show n, has boards in front, three feet long by six inches in breadth, and three and a half to four inches in thickness (known by the technical name of poling boards"), supported and kept in position by means of screws, which are lodged against the front iron frame; these boards, to the number of forty-four in each frame, are in succes- sion taken down while the earth in front of each is excavated, the first board being always replaced before a second is removed, and thus forming a constant firm buttress. The several parts will be better un- derstood by reference to the following numbers:â 1. Poling boards. 2" Poling screws. 3. The " top staves" covering the upper part of the excavation till the shield is succeeded by brick-work. 4. Screws to raise or depress the top staves. 5. " The legs," being jackscrews fixed by ball joints to the shoes G, upon which the whole frame stands. 7 and 8.
