No tool is better known to woodworkers
than the Stanley "Bailey" Plane. For over
60 years it has been building friendship
with tool users.
Continual improvements
in design, materials and workmanship have
kept STANLEY PLANES abreast of the
times. The result is that 9 out of every 10
planes in use today are STANLEY PLANES
-a real tribute from a group of craftsmen
who know what they want.
When confronted with a planing job-
unusual or regular-there is a STANLEY
PLANE that will do it. There are 177
different planes illustrated in Stanley No. 34
Catalog.

INTRODUCTION
MONG all the tools used by the carpenter there
is, perhaps, none so useful, simple and indis-
pensable as the modern Steel Square. There is not a
tool that may be so readily applied to the quick solu-
tion of the many difficult problems of laying out work
as the Steel Square. In the hands of one who knows
how to use it the square becomes a simple calculating
device of the most wonderful capacity.
There is a feeling among carpenters, that one must
have a knowledge of higher mathematics in order to be
able to use a Steel Square with all its complicated mark-
ings, figures and tables. This is not true.
numerous scales and figures there is nothing about it
that is complicated.
The understanding of a very few simple rules
governing the application of this Square will enable
the carpenter:
To easily and quickly determine the length of any
Common, Hip, Valley or Jack Rafter for any Pitch of
Roof.
well as Side or Check Cuts for any Rafter.
The Steel Square herein illustrated is one of the
several made by The Stanley Rule and Level Plant,
New Britain, Conn. This Square is known as No.
R-100 and may be relied upon as being as near perfect
as it is possible to make them.
The great variety of markings on the Blade and
Tongue of this Square cover almost everything that
this instrument is capable of and make it adaptable for
almost any purpose the carpenter may require.

STANLEY STEEL SQUA RE
1. THE SQUARE
The Steel Square is made in the form of a right angle,
that is its two arms (the body and the tongue) make
an angle of 90 degrees, which is a right angle.
By referring to the diagram in Fig. 1, it will be noted
that if we connect points "A" and "C" by drawing a
straight line we will have a triangle "ABC," and since
the angle "B" on the Square is a right angle-the
triangle will be a "right triangle." Therefore the Steel
Square as well as all roof framing is based on the
principles of a right triangle.
A right triangle is a figure having three sides: Base,
Altitude and Hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is the long-
est side of the triangle and is always opposite the right
angle. Fig. 2.

The reference tables on the Stanley Squares were
carefully prepared in accordance with the above men-
tioned principles.
The following terms identifying the different portions
of the Steel Square should be noted and remembered:

STANLEY STEEL SQUARE
The modern Square usually has two kinds of mark-
ings: Scales and Tables.
6. SCALES. The Scales are the inch divisions
found on the outer and inner edges of the Square and
the inch graduations into fractions of an inch.
Stanley Square illustrated herein has the following
Scales and Graduations.
The

Inches and Sixteenths.

7. HUNDREDTH SCALE. This scale is located
on the back of the tongue, in the corner of the Square,
near the Brace measure.
The Hundredth Scale is "one
inch divided into one hundred parts." With the aid
of a pair of dividers decimal fractions of an inch can
easily be obtained. Fig. 5.

2. ROOF FRAMING
There are numerous types of roofs and a great
variety of shapes. The following are the most common
in use:
12.
SHED OR LEAN-TO ROOF. This is the
simplest type of a roof and has only a single slope.
Fig. 6.
13. GABLE OR PITCH ROOF. This is a type of
roof most commonly used. It has two slopes meeting
at the center or ridge and forming a Gable.
very simple form of a roof and, perhaps, the easiest to
construct. Fig. 7.
It is a
14.
HIP ROOF. This roof consists of four sides,
all sloping toward the center of the building. The
rafters run up diagonally to meet the ridge, into which
the other rafters are framed. Fig. 8.
15. GABLE AND VALLEY OR HIP AND
VALLEY ROOF. This is a combination of two Gable
or Hip roofs intersecting each other. The Valley is the
place of meeting of two slopes of the roof, running in
different directions. There is a great variety of modi-
fications of this roof and the intersections usually are
at right angles.

These Squares have a cam locking device so that by
turning the ćam, as indicated by the arrow, either
with the key furnished with the Square, or with a
screw driver or coin, the tongue is drawn firmly
against the shoulder.
The cam and tongue are designed so any wear will
be taken care of automatically and the Square will
always be correct when the tongue is locked in posi-
tion.
Each Square is packed in a water-proof canvas case.
