The Steel Square Pocket Book
“The Steel Square Pocket Book.” By Dwight L. Stoddard. Second edition. Revised and enlarged. Price 50 cents. Industrial Publication Co., 178 Fulton Street, New York. This is a practical and convenient little book on the best methods of using the carpenter’s steel square. The author is a practical mechanic, and tells the reader just how he uses his square. There are many carpenters who know some things about a square, but who know very little indeed of all the uses to which the square can be put. How to measure lumber, how to cut octagons, braces, rafters; instruction on stair-making, bridging, degrees and pitches of roof, various kinds of gable, valley, hip and jack rafters; and about everything else needful is told in this plain, practical little book.
