Excerpt from Steel Squares and Their Uses: Being a Description of the Various Steel Squares and Their Uses in Solving a Large Number of Mechanical Problems in Constructive Carpentry, Joinery, Sheet Metal Work, Cut Stone and Brick Work The great demand for the first volume of the steel square and its uses convinced the writer that a second volume on the same subject would be sure to meet with a fair reception. The I readers of Vol. I. Will want to see and know more of what may be done by the aid of the Steel Square and a little mental effort. The present volume, like the first, contains but little of bewildering mathematics, and is brought down as near to the operative workman's standard as possible.
