The manner of placing the main stringers of the carriage S S, is shown at A, [Fig. 69]. [Fig. 68] shows a complete half-space stair; one-half of this, finished as shown, will answer well for a quarter-space stair.

Carriages and Cross-Carriages.
Another method of forming a carriage for a stair is shown in [Fig. 70]. This is a peculiar but very handsome stair, inasmuch as the first and the last four steps are parallel, but the remainder balance or dance. The treads are numbered in this illustration; and the plan of the handrail is shown extending from the scroll at the bottom of the stairs to the landing on the second story. The trimmer T at the top of the stairs is also shown; and the rough strings or carriages, R S, R S, R S, are represented by dotted lines.
