Make a scale of the diameter of the column at the
bottom ; first divide it into six equal parts called mo-
dules, divide the first of these into ten, which are
called minutes; then every member of the order is so
many minutes of the scale, either in height or pro-
jection : the operation is as follows : draw an axis or
perpendicular through the middle of the column ;
on this line set all your heights, or on any other line
parallel to it: then make another line parallel to the
axis at the distance of twenty-five minutes, which
allows five minutes on each side for the diminution
at top ; from this line set off your projections, as
figured in the plate ; for example, the projection of
the top of fillet E is forty-two minutes, and the projec-
tion of the next fillet G is thirty-two minutes and a
half; then proceed to draw the cima recta, as already
