To find distance 8 to M, we have to make acareful plan of the proper scale. One-quarter of thesketch-plan here given is sufiScient, but the centre, B, A,2, the quadrant, and the line M parallel to AB, must beall accurately found. Distance M8 is then set off from8, and line M to drawn, giving two points in thecurve where it crosses the diagonals. The curve must.

Solving Problems 237 be drawn with, grace, and will most probably extendbeyond the point B, so that the greatest width willdepend on the good drawing of the curve rather thanthe accurate perspective working of the lower curve ofthe platform; only the front need be drawn, though it isno harm to draw the whole. Still, neatness and clearnessmust be considered, for an examiner will hardly prefera chaos of working lines, if the chaos is due to addingunnecessary parts. It is not stated by the examiner VP ho ^)
