The student's instructor in drawing and working : the five orders of architecture : fully explaining the best methods for striking regular and quirked mouldings, for diminishing and glueing of columns and capitals, for finding the true diameter of an order to any given height, for striking the ionic volute, circular or elliptical, with finished examples, on a large scale, of the orders, their planceers, etc. and some designs for door-cases . steel draw on the shaft of the column the flutes, andfillets, to the greatest exactness, by keeping it close to the side of the rule. This method is by far the most ready, as well as the most correct of any that I haveyet seen ; this machine is shown complete on the plate, and I hope a careful inspectionwill render it sufficiently plain : there are other methods of drawing the flutes on the shaftof a column, as by drawing two parallel lines through the centre at each end of thecolumn, and dividing the circumferences at the ends into the number of flutes and fillets,then bending a thin rule from the respective divisions at each end ; it is necessary to becareful that the edge of the rule by which you draw, touch the curved surface of thecolumn only: but this method, however simple, is very liable to error. Other methods,used by some workmen for setting off the flutes and fillets round the shaft of a column;are as follow: TO DRAW THE FLUTES AND FILLETS ON THE SHAFT OF A COLUMN. Plate
