Transcriber’s Notes
Depending on the hard- and software used and their settings, not all elements may display as intended. Some forms, tables and illustrations may not display properly in a narrow window or on a narrow screen.
Except as mentioned under Changes made below, the language used in the source document has been retained, including unusual, archaic and inconsistent spelling, hyphenation, capitalisation, etc. Errors, discrepancies and ambiguities in (cost) calculations have not been corrected unless mentioned below.

Changes made:
Illustrations, forms, tables etc. have been moved out of text paragraphs.
Some obvious minor punctuation and typographical errors have been corrected silently. × and x in multiplications and dimensions have been standardised to ×. In several forms and tables some of the ditto marks (“) have been replaced with the dittoed text.
Part III: project names, project part names and construction instructions from the drawings have been transcribed for the sake of clarity and legibility; measurements and descriptions of minor constructive elements such as screws and nails have only been transcribed when needed. The most important text elements from the illustrations in the text chapters have been transcribed as well in a dashed box.
