Materials
Large objects designed to be seen from a distance require larger space divisions for their mouldings than do small objects seen from a nearer point. Material affects the curve somewhat. Smaller mouldings are more suited to the expensive woods like mahogany while larger curves may be used in pine or oak.
Evolution of Enriched Outline Design
We now have at our command a number of interesting and serviceable curves suited to the material. [Plate 22] is a sheet of applications. [Figures 87] to [94] deal with the book-rack end and in this, as in the [initial chapter], architecture is referred to as the source for many laws of industrial design. It has seemed wise to illustrate some of these important parallels as follows:
We will assume the type of joint construction of the book-rack end as settled and the question of enrichment to be under consideration.
