the outline of the front elevation, Fig. 250, and adding laps, which are notched as shown.
80. Related Mathematics on Conductor Head.—Since all conductor heads are composites of the surfaces of many different solids, it is unpracticable to attempt to compute their exact surface area. The most accurate method of obtaining the cost of material entering into their manufacture is to lay out a full size
