ii, t!;c face of the door or hanging style. This is a joint suitable for many
purposes aud
may be made with common hinges. If crooked, it will assist in excluding
the ciirreai of
air, a point of no mean importance.
2151. In
/iff.
IG'-J. A and 13 exhibit a plane joint, beaded similarly on both sides. In
this case, the plane of the joint is a tangent to the cylindrical surfaces of the two beads
;
and as the margin on each side is alike, no check to the rusli of cold air is afforded. The
hinge, moreover, is such that it cannot be made in the usual manner, but must be formed
as at C.

763. A and B represent a hinging wherein the plane of the joint from one
side is directed to the axis of the bead on the other. The principle in it is the same as
that in
Jiff.
76'!., and it may therefore be hinged witli common hinges, as shown in C, in
which the two parts are conjoined. The methods shown in this andyz'^. 761. are useful in
cases wherein a part of the margin is concealed on one side of tlie door.

Fiff.
764. A and B exhibit the beads of similar size on each side, and exactly
opposite to each other, the joint being broken by indenting a part terminated by a plane
directed to the axis of the two opposite beads. The hinges are reiiuired merely of the
common form, the arrangement is strong, and the apartment rendered comfortable by their
use. In C the parts are shown as hinged together.
2154. In
jiff.
765. the beads are on both sides, but not on the same piece, as in the last
figure. The appearance is uniform, but the bead, which projects the whole of its thickness,
Ls weakened. The junction is seen in the representation at C.

A is the inner bead of the sash-frame, B tlie inside lining, C the style of the shutter. For
the form of the joint, let
af
be the face of the shutter, perpendicular to ar the face of the
inside lining. Let the angle/ a r be bisected by the straight line aa, and in the centre
take c. Draw dJ perpendicular to aa, cutting it in c, which is the centre of tlie hinge.
From c, as a centre, describe the arc am, wliich must be hollowed out from the inside
lining of the sash through the height of the shutter. In order to make room for the open-
ing and shutting of the hinge, the internal right angle of the shutter must be cut out of its
edge to the breadth of the hinges. The toils of the hinge are here for the purpose of
strengthening them, represented of different lengths.
2156. In
Jiff.
767. the hinges, which are for a door, are concealed, as the door allows it
in the thickness of the wood, the ends of the hinges being of equal lengths.

of hingeing shutters, a mode M-herein the wliole

of the shutter, the inside lining being assumed
as too thin to afford sufficient hold for the
