tend the compafles from i to 3, and from T to w, of Fig. 2, for
the length and breadth of the drawers, and make the plan on
Fig. 5, the fame.
In Fig. 3 produce the line 8,3, and 2,1, to G R, at the points
10 and 12, anfwerable to 10 and 12, Fig. 2. Draw then the vifuals
10, 1, 12, r, Fig. 5, correfponding with 10,1, 12, g Fig. 2, on the
plane of the picture. Take then, from Fig. 2, the perpendicular
height Ty of the drawers, and place this from 10 to b, and
from 12 to zz, Fig. 5. Draw then the vifuals b s, as, anfwerable
to the fame letters in Fig. 2. Next, from the points 1,3, 8, 2,
draw lines tending to the point P, which will cut the vifual
lines at 1,3, in the fame manner as the rays i,P, 3,P, cut the
vifuals 10, r, 12, i, at 1, 3, Fig. 2.
In Fig. 5, from 1, 3, raife the perpendiculars 1, 5, 3, 7, cut-
ting the vifuals b, i, zz, r, at 7, 5, in like manner as the
rays 5, P, 7, P, Fig. 2, cut the points 5,7, on the plane of
the picture. Draw then from 7 to 3, Fig. 5, a line parallel to
i, 3, which will determine the height of the drawers; and for
the apparent breadth of the top, raife a perpendicular g, 6, from
g, the point where the line 8, P, cuts the vifual 10, r, and the
point 6 will determine the apparent breadth of the drawers ; in
the fame manner as the rays P,4, P,6, cutting the vifuals a,s,b,s,
at
