The Modern Bricklayer - A Practical Work on Bricklaying in all its Branches - Volume III

Brickwork is a form of masonry that utilises bricks and mortar. Rows of bricks-or,& 39;courses& 39;-are placed on top of each other in order to create a structure such as a wall. This is volume I of William Frost& 39;s& 34;The Modern Bricklayer& 34;, a detailed guide to all aspects of bricklaying, including slating, tiling, planning, materials, tools, and more. Contents include:& 34;House Drains& 34;,& 34;Egg-Shaped and Circular Sewers& 34;,& 34;Sand Courses& 34;,& 34;Retaining Walls& 34;,& 34;Reinforced Brickwork& 34;,& 34;Arches& 34;,& 34;Cornices& 34;,& 34;Gauged Brickwork: Introduction& 34;,& 34;Gauged Work-Various Forms of Arches& 34;,& 34;Gauges Work-Arches& 34;,& 34;Gauged Work: Ninches, Panels, and Mouldings& 34;,& 34;Terra-cotta and Glazed Ware& 34;, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
