INTRODUCTION

On entering a building, almost the first thing that meets the eye isthe staircase and unconsciously it is made to serve as an indicatorof the quality of the architecture. If the design is poor or theconstruction faulty, this flaw immediately gives the visitor a badimpression of the whole building. Furthermore, stair-building is arather difficult subject and the principles involved are very littleunderstood, which is evidenced by the fact that the layouts asfurnished by architects in their plans are often improperly done.

Probably more mistakes occur in connection with the stairway of abuilding than with any other construction feature. It is with the idea,therefore, of giving a complete though simple presentation of theconstruction methods as applied to standard design of staircases, thatthis book has been prepared.

The article discusses straight and winding stairs, stairs with wellhole, layouts for curved turns, the proper proportions of rise andwidth of tread, the design of hand railings and many other problems,the solution of which will be found very useful.

Coupled with this article is a most instructive section on the SteelSquare, containing many applications of this useful instrument to roofand other types of construction.
