This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 Excerpt: ...at a point one-third the height of the shaft above the base is Tl, greater than it is at its lower diameter. This is the exception, however, and the shaft shown in Fig. 87 is dimensioned after the more general Greek custom. This shaft is also divided into six equal parts, and the line of the diameter at the neck is set off on the circle expressing the plan at the base. The distance on this circle is then divided into six equal parts, and is numbered correspondingly with the divisions on the shaft of the column, as we have already done in working out the Doric entasis. The points determined on this plan of the column at the base are then extended, as before, until they intersect the lines dividing, at right angles to them, the shaft of the column, which will determine the points through which the column outline should pass. This method determines of itself the exact increase of the "tumble-home" of the column in its upper portions. The arc described by this outline approximates, although it does not exactly coincide with, a hyperbolic curve. The Greek Corinthian shaft has no set and determined entasis. Each of the three examples shown in Plate XLVIII follows a different method. The shaft of the column from the Temple of the Winds should be laid out by the Doric method, the different effect being given by the comparatively small difference between the diameter at the neck and at the base, as well as by the extra height of the shaft and the form of the capital. The shaft from the Monument of Lysicrates follows very nearly the Ionic method, differing from it, however, in that the lower one-third of the column is in outline more nearly parallel to the line of the axis than the method we have described for determining the Ionic shaft. The column from th...
