of your temple ([Fig. 350]). The distance from the outside edge of one ladder-like strip to the outside edge of the other is nine inches. The strips are each sixteen inches long, two inches wide and divided into six spaces. Make the spaces by folding a sixteen-inch strip of paper exactly crosswise through the centre, then folding each half of the paper three times. Place this strip along the edge of the sixteen-inch lines on the ground plan and mark the spaces. Draw the oblong for the cella on the centre ([Fig. 350]). Make it four inches wide and ten and one-half inches long, leaving half an inch space between this oblong and the inner sides of the ladder-like strips. Take one column at a time and glue the slashed portion firmly on the ladder-like strip. Begin at A, [Fig. 350], and
Erect the Outer Row of Columns,
allowing each column to stand immediately along the inside of the outer line AB, [Fig. 350], with its exact centre over the short cross-line, as in [Fig. 351] (circles indicate columns). Each column must stand erect and plumb. Place the next row of columns just within the long inner line as in [Fig. 352]. In the same way erect the second double-columned row on the opposite side of the foundation and glue together the sides of the rolled capitals which touch at the top of each pair of pillars on both rows.
