As both sides of the profile J are symmetrical, it is necessaryonly to draw lines through one-half. 324 SHEET ISIETAL WORK 239 In similar manner, in elevation, parallel to G CS draw linesthrough the various intersections in J^ which intersect by lines drawnat right angles to F C in plan from similarly mmibered points on A F PATTERN FORHIP RIDGE W. 214 3 6 34 12 5 5 PATTERN FOR LOWERHE-AD Fig. 328. and BC.

Trace a line through the points thusobtained. Then will R S T U be the desired pattern. In practice it is necessary only to obtain one miter-cut—either thetop or the bottom—and use the reverse for the opposite side. In otherwords, U T is that part falling out of R S, the same as R S is that partwhich cuts away fr
