e, though various other methodsmay be shown to answer the same purpose; as G, H, I, K, which are traced from asemicircle, by applying the same projections to a line of any inclination required. G, is a torus moulding taken from a semicircle ; and may be applied where the pro-jection of the upper fillet is greater than the projection of the lower. To describe a Scotia M. From the top of the fillet draw B A, perpendicular, cutting the bottom of the fillet atA : from g the end of the bottom fillet, draw the line g a c, parallel to A B : make g a,equal to twice g A, on a: describe the semicircle gee, cutting the line g a c, at <*,through c, and the end of the fillet, at B, draw the line cBe, cutting the semicircle at e:draw the line ade, cutting A B, in d\ lastly on d, describe the arc e B, and it will com-plete the scotia. N is a scotia, described by a similar method to the ovoloa, G, H, I, K. viz. throughpoints found from a semicircle, to the height of the moulding. MODERN MOULDINGS.
