about_o 6_o inch_n high_a and_o 9_o inch_n broad_a but_o this_o rule_n they_o do_v or_o shall_v follow_v viz._n to_o make_v all_o the_o step_v belong_v to_o the_o same_o pair_n of_o stair_n of_o a_o equal_a height_n which_o to_o do_v they_o first_o consider_v the_o height_n of_o the_o room_n in_o foot_n and_o odd_a inch_n if_o any_o odd_a be_v and_o multiply_v the_o foot_n by_o 12_o who_o product_n with_o the_o number_n of_o odd_a inch_n give_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o whole_a height_n in_o inch_n which_o sum_n they_o divide_v by_o the_o number_n of_o step_n they_o intend_v to_o have_v in_o that_o height_n and_o the_o quotient_n shall_v be_v the_o number_n of_o inch_n and_o part_n that_o each_o step_n shall_v be_v high_a or_o if_o they_o first_o design_v the_o height_n of_o each_o step_n in_o inches_n they_o try_v by_o arithmetic_n how_o many_o time_n the_o height_n of_o a_o step_v they_o can_v have_v out_o of_o the_o whole_a height_n of_o the_o story_n and_o so_o know_v the_o

house_n in_o london_n where_o now_o light_n can_v be_v place_v in_o the_o staircase_n because_o of_o the_o party-wall_n so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n to_o let_v in_o a_o sky-light_n

sometime_o fly_v off_o from_o that_o wind_a take_v therefore_o the_o more_o room_n up_o in_o the_o staircase_n the_o manner_n of_o project_v they_o be_v copious_o teach_v in_o many_o book_n of_o

wind_v stair_n be_v project_v on_o a_o round_o profile_v who_o diameter_n be_v equal_a to_o the_o base_a the_o staircase_n be_v to_o stand_v on_o suppose_v six_o foot_n square_a this_o profile_n

and_o the_o rest_n for_o the_o length_n of_o the_o step_n if_o you_o draw_v line_n from_o the_o centre_n through_o every_o one_o of_o the_o equal_a part_n into_o the_o circumference_n the_o space_n between_o every_o two_o line_n will_v be_v the_o true_a figure_n of_o a_o winding-step_a and_o if_o they_o be_v all_o cut_v out_o and_o place_v one_o above_o another_o over_o the_o true_a place_n on_o the_o profile_v round_o about_o the_o newel_n who_o diameter_n be_v one_o quarter_v the_o length_n of_o a_o step_n you_o will_v by_o support_v each_o step_n with_o a_o raiser_n have_v the_o model_n of_o a_o true_a pair_n of_o winding-stair_n see_v plate_n 10._o fig._n 2._o hollow_o neweled_a stair_n be_v make_v about_o a_o square_a hollow_n newel_n we_o will_v suppose_v the_o well-hole_n to_o be_v eleven_o foot_n long_o and_o six_o foot_n wide_a and_o we_o will_v bring_v up_o a_o pair_n of_o stair_n from_o the_o first_o floor_n eleven_o foot_n high_a it_o be_v intend_v that_o a_o skie-light_n shall_v fall_v through_o the_o hollow_a newel_n upon_o the_o stair_n we_o must_v therefore_o consider_v the_o width_n and_o breadth_n of_o the_o hollow_a newel_n and_o in_o this_o example_n admit_v it_o to_o be_v two_o foot_n and_o a_o half_a wide_a and_o two_o foot_n broad_a by_o the_o width_n i_o mean_v the_o side_n that_o range_v with_o the_o front_n and_o rear_n of_o the_o

will_v be_v seven_o inch_n and_o one_o three_o of_o a_o inch_n high_a you_o must_v note_v that_o the_o fly_v off_o or_o else_o wind_v of_o these_o step_n will_v vary_v their_o place_n according_a as_o
