Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art and Science of Stair Building Draw the major and minor axis A B and C D, Fig. 1. To find the points to place pins: From the point D as a centre, with S B or S A as a radius, describe arcs, cutting the major axis in the points 2 and 3; place pins in the points, and, by the use of thread or cord and pencil, describe the elipse required. Care should be taken to keep the thread or cord to an even tension. Suppose the curve to be the centre of a mould required for a hand-rail: Set off each way from the point D equal half the width of rail; from the points draw parallel to D 2 and D 3, cutting the major axis in the points for pins to describe the outside and inside curves. To find the points for pins to describe a curve parallel to A C B: Set off from C to P equal B N; from the point P as a centre, with S N as a radius, describe arcs cutting the major axis in the points 4 and 5; place pins and describe the curve required. Fig. 2 exhibits a plan and elevation of handrail at the starting. To find the easing and points to bore for balusters: Set up from 2 to 3 on the pitch-board, equal the difference in the heights of newel post and short baluster; square over for the newel cap; mark from the pitch-board for the point to bore for baluster. To continue the height of rail at the starting to its termination, care should be taken to measure the rise from the points to bore for balusters, as shown by the dotted lines, Fig. 3.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stair-Building Made Easy: Being a Full and Clear Description of the Art of Building the Bodies, Carriages and Cases for All Kinds of Stairs and Steps; Together With Illustrations Showing the Manner of Laying Out Stairs, Forming Treads and Risers, Building Cylinders, Preparing Stri Many books have been written on Stairs and Hand-Railing, but so far as my experience extends, one of two objections has prevented them from being universally adopted by the operative workman. First, the books have been written by men who did not seem to think it necessary to begin at the beginning, and first teach the young workman how to build a stair of the humblest sort, and thus lead him, step by step, until he became able, by gradual and natural acquirement, to erect and complete stairs of a better description. This objection, I have found, by close observation and a knowledge of the wants of young workmen, to be fatal to the large sale of any work published on the subject; and though I am fully aware that to the workman who has, from practical experience in the workshop or in the building, obtained a fair knowledge of stair-building and hand-railing, some one or other of the many excellent works now obtainable is a necessity, and it is not intended that this work will replace the more advanced ones. Yet, I think, that even the advanced stair-builder will be able to find something here that will more than repay for the cost. The second objection I have met with to the books on this subject now in the market, is their high price. Young and struggling workmen cannot afford to pay fancy prices for books they do not understand. Gould's American Stair-Builder, which is the lowest priced book on the subject published in this country, costs $3.00; while Monckton's National Stair-Builder costs $5.00, and Riddell's Universal Stair-Builder costs $7.50; and so it is with Cupper, Degraff, Loth and other works.

Book excerpt: John Templer has written the first theoretical, historical, and scientific analysis of one of the most basic and universal building elements: the stair. Together, these two volumes present a detailed study of stairs and ramps - the art and science of their design, their history, and their hazards. For the designer and the art and architectural historian, the first volume treats the fascinating history of stairs and their immense influence on the art and science of architecture. It is illustrated with more than 100 photographs from around the world and reviews the literature on stairs (as well as ladders and railings and ramps) from Vitruvius to Venturi. Templer considers the whole play of meanings in the idea of the stair - as art object, as structural idea, as legal prescription, or as poetic fancy - making it clear that the stair is simultaneously an aesthetic, architectonic, ergonomic, and cultural element. The second volume shows the dangers stairs present. Drawing on twenty years of human factors research on stairs, Templer sets out what is known about slips, trips, and falls and how best to design stairs to avoid their inherent dangers. He discusses the physiological and behavioral relationship between humans and stairs and walkways, the question of gait and slippery surfaces, and the various types of falls and the injuries that result. Perhaps most importantly, Templer proposes the idea of the soft stair, which could substantially reduce the annual epidemic of stair-related deaths and injuries. John Templer is Regents' Professor of Architecture at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He has published extensively on architecture including theory, human factors research, and designing for the elderly and disabled, and is also an expert on legal cases involving bodily injury caused by falls.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the PREFACE of the edition of 1904. Many books have been written on Stairs and Hand-Railing, but so far as my experience extends, one of two objections has prevented them from being universally adopted by the operative workman. First, the books have been written by men who did not seem to think it necessary to begin at the beginning, and first teach the young workman how to build a stair of the humblest sort, and thus lead him, step by step, until he became able, by gradual and natural acquirement, to erect and complete stairs of a better description. This objection, I have found, by close observation and a knowledge of the wants of young workmen, to be fatal to the large sale of any work published on the subject; and though I am fully aware that to the workman who has, from practical experience in the workshop or in the building, obtained a fair knowledge of stair-building and hand-railing, someone or other of the many excellent works now obtainable is a necessity, and it is not intended that this work will replace the more advanced ones. Yet, I think, that even the advanced stair-builder will be able to find something here that will more than repay for the cost. The second objection I have met with to the books on this subject now in the market, is their high price. Young and struggling workmen cannot afford to pay fancy prices for books they do not understand. GOULD'S AMERICAN STAIR-BUILDER, which is the lowest priced book on the subject published in this country, costs $3.00; while MONCKTON'S NATIONAL STAIR-BUILDER costs $5.00, and RIDELL's UNIVFTRSAL STAIR-BUILDER costs $7.50; and so it is with CUPPER, DEGRAFF, LOTH and other works. Doubtless, these books, every one of them, are worth the money asked for them, and the advanced workman would not be without a copy of one or the other of them if he had to pay double the market price; but while these books may be invaluable to the advanced stair-builder, they are not at all adapted to the wants of the uninitiated; and are as much out of place on the shelves of the young apprentice as a learned treatise on the lost tribes of Israel would be in the hands of a child struggling with alphabetical word-making. I have tried to avoid both the objections mentioned; first, by presuming that the reader knows nothing about the art of stair-building when he buys this book, and must necessarily commence at the beginning, and work his way up; second, by keeping the cost of the book down to such a price that the poorest apprentice boy may be able to procure it. This book will be followed by another on the same subject, one that will begin where this leaves off, thus enabling; the student to pursue the subject to its highest domain. Of course, it is intended that each work will be complete in itself, and that both works will cover the whole ground of Stair-Building and Hand-Railing.
