$H Joggle. Construction

(Constr.)
In masonry any joint is called a joggle, in which both the stones which a=
re
to be fitted together are indented. A joggle in masonry resembles what in
carpentry would be termed a rebate (q.v.).(1891a1) |

3,200,000 years; the life of man being then 100,000 years, and his statur=

cubits. (2) The Tirtar Yug, in which one‑third of=

was corrupted, lasted 2,400,000 years; the life of man being then 10,000
years. (3) The DwapaarYug, in which half=
the
human race became depraved, lasted 1,600,000 years; the life of man being
1000 years. (4) The Collee Yug=
, in
which all mankind are corrupt, is the present era, ordained to subsist
400,000 years (of which about 5000 have elapsed); the life of man being
limited to 100 years. There are, however, conflicting accounts of the
duration of the different Jogues. (See Halhed's Prefa=

Joinery (in Latin, <=
span
class=3DSpellE>intestinum opus) has to deal with the addi=
tion
in a building of all the fixed wood‑work necessary for convenience =
or
ornament The most celebrated work on the subject is Nicholson's Carpenter's Guide, and Carpenter's and Joiner's Assis=
tant,
published in 1792. The modern art=
of joinery properly dates from the introduction of the geometrical stairc=
ase,
or stair supported by the wall only, the first English example of which is
said to have been erected by Sir Christopher Wren in |
$H Joint. Architecture
|
(Arch.) A small spac=
e left
between the stones or bricks of a wall or other construction, which is fi=
lled
with mortar or cement, so as to bind the masonry solidly together. The
thickness of joints is determined, when the bricks or stones are laid, by
small blocks of wood which allow the mortar or cement to be put in. The t=
erm
angle‑joint is applied to a joint formed by placing side by side two
pieces of stone or wood, which are cut at a certain angle and not square.
There are many other kinds of joints both in stonework and timber‑w=
ork.
Some of these are to be found under their separate headings, such as
dovetail, mortise, &c. 2 ILLUS. joint1, joint2(1891a1)

$H Joist. Architecture
|
(Arch.) A piece of t=
imber
placed horizontally to support a plank. In the Middle Ages and during the
period of the Renaissance the joists of ceilings remained in view and were
sometimes carved. In some Gothic buildings we find joists with the end
engaged in the wall roughly fashioned into the head of some monster, while
the horizontal part is cut level, so that nothing may lessen the solidity=
of
the joist, by seeming to take off from its thickness. 3 ILLUS. joist1, joist2, joist3(1891a1)
