Let EFGHI
(fig.
6:57.) be the exterior side of the
vault, which is both equilateral and equiangular, and
lot JKLMN be the line of the exterior surface of the
inner wall; so that the lines EJ, FK, GL, HM, IN,
which pass through every two corresponding angles,
may tend to the centre O of the groin vault. Let the
sections of the given ribs be PQll and STU, so that
PR of the rib PQ.R may stand at right angles to the
sides F.F and JK and the sic'e SU of the rib STU
on the middle of the side F'G. Divide the two bases
PR and SU in the same proportion, and through
the joints of division in SU draw lines from the centre
O of the ground vault to meet the curve STU; and
