VINCENT’S SYSTEMS OF

On the accompanying illustrations is shown how it. is applied to the drafting of trousers, vests and coats.

For trousers the corner of the square is placed at A, L, the angle line on A. 11, where the long arm is used to get the seat angle.

For vests the corner is placed at point 2¼, front of scye, and the angle line dropped ¼ inch at front, and the front shoulder measure, less ¼ inch, more than the width of the back neck, is applied from 2¼ to F, which locates the neck point correctly for all sizes.

For coats the corner of square is put at front of scye and the angle line placed on depth of scye line and the front shoulder measure, less the width of back neck, applied up to F, which will accurately locate the neck point for all sizes.

This is no fancy arrangement, but a real practical help to the cutter and the student alike.

The price of this most useful square is 5/-. It is prepared from the best boxwood fitted with brass, marked both sides and finished with bevelled edges. They are also supplied with the various quantities marked on, as in the Graduated Square, the price, in that case, being 7/6. Postage 3d. extra in each case.
