ger dimensions, and less declivity of face, which would begenerally found in practice, the part from X to F would benearly a vertical plane, and from BE to X, nearly a conical,or even an almost vertical cylindrical surface. Hence, in sucha case the coursing surfaces could be safely horizontal… … STONE-CUTTING. 97 II. The Directing Instruments and their Application. Asevery surface, except the back, which would generally be leftrough, of all the stones between UU and gg is warped, nopatterns can be used. It would therefore be best to begin, atleast, by working some one surface by the method…
