Excerpt from Brick-Scale Tables: With Explanatory Notes for the Designer in Brickwork
The Scales are printed on thin card, so that they maybe used not only in the usual manner, but also in the more convenient method of slipping them under the tracing paper or cloth, thus permitting the draughtsman to trace directly the divisions - by far the easiest method in securing accurate and rapid work.
To select the proper Scales for the vertical and horizontal dimensions of any given wall to be erected, two factors must be carefully taken into consideration: first, the size of the brick to be used; and, secondly, the proposed size of joint in which the brick is to be laid. The brick size should always be obtained from actual measurements by averaging the size of a number of the bricks to be used, as they slightly differ in dimensions even when of the same variety.
