DOVETAIL JOINTS
"Dovetail" refers to the shape of the projections of one member, when looked at broadside. These projections are called dovetails, or merely tails.
The projections on the other member are called tenons or pins, and the spaces between both tails and tenons are called mortises or sockets.
No. 47. A thru single dovetail is similar to a slip-joint except that instead of a tenon there is a dovetail. It is used in window-sashes.
