In this capital the volutes are of such construction thatthe fillet and bead, which properly belong to the column,are included in the construction of the capital, making it 15instead of 12 parts high. The fillet is 1 part, and the bead2 parts, high. The quarter-round is 5 parts high. Nextcomes the gorge, 3 parts high, one half of which is per-pendicular, and the other half a quarter-circle ; next comesa fillet 1 part wide, which, with the gorge, is carried roundthe volute. After the fillet comes an ogee 2 parts high anda fillet 1 part high. The Projection.

Theends of these last are the four centers for the first turn ofthe volute. From the center of the eye lay off 9 partsabove (just touching the ogee), 8 parts to the right, 7 partsbelow, and 6 parts to the left. From point 1 (see enlargeddiagram of eye), with radius reaching the 9-point, strike anarc. It will pass through point 8.
